Chapter 1349


    Odell frowned.


    Defend her?


    “I''m just stating the truth.”


    He was clearly speaking the truth from an objective perspective. How was that defending her? Sylvia had also said the same


    thing.


    Johnughed. “Don’t tell me you defended her like this in front of Sylvia as well?”


    Odell’s frown deepened. After a short silence, he said, ” I’m not defending her.”


    “Sure.” John put down the teacup, turned his head to look for Caprice, and saw her in a corner. She was squatting on the floor,


    ying with a cute ornament in her hand.


    John got up, walked up to her, and picked her up.


    Caprice was still holding the small ornament. It was clearThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    that she liked it.


    He asked, “Do you like this, Caprice?”


    “Uh-huh.”


    “Then, you can take it.”


    Caprice pursed her lips and looked at him withrge eyes. “That''s not very nice, Daddy.”


    Johnughed. “What do you mean?”


    Caprice said, “We haven''t said thank you to Uncle Odell.”


    While John grinned, Odell’s lips pulled down. Sure enough, they were father and daughter.


    John brought her to Odell and said to him with a smile, Master Carter, Caprice wants some local snacks. I''ll take her there first.”


    He walked away.


    “Wait.”


    John turned around.


    Odell stared at him with deep eyes and asked, “Do you really think I’m interested in Shermaine?”

    The smile faded from John’s eyes, and his expression turned solemn. “Yes.”


    Odell pursed his lips and frowned tightly.


    John said nothing more and carried Caprice out.


    Therge office suddenly fell silent. The man sat behind his desk. His conflicted and dark expression did not loosen for a long


    time.


    Putting aside the two executives who talked about


    Shermaine and him, even a shrewd person like John thought that he was interested in her. In that case... Sylvia was not being


    unreasonable to him. He had been too busy some time ago and ignored her feelings.


    After a long silence, he picked up the phone and called Cliff.


    The call was connected quickly.


    He said, “Inform the administrative department and ask them to choose someone to take Shermaine’s ce


    immediately.”


    Cliff was stunned. “Master Carter, did Shermaine do something wrong?”


    “She didn’t do anything wrong. Give her another position in the administration department.”


    “Understood.” After hesitation, he asked, “Sir, could you tell me the reason for recing her so that | can exin it to her?”


    Odell said without changing his expression, “She’s not suitable for the secretary position.”


    Cliff did not ask any more questions and simply said, ” Okay.”


    Odell hung up the phone. He appreciated people who worked hard and were capable. Furthermore, Shermaine had saved his


    grandmother, so he let her stay as his secretary. He was sure that he was not interested in her at


    all.

    Although she somewhat resembled Sylvia, she was only somewhat simr in appearance. In essence, she was different from


    her.
