Chapter 1353


    Chapter 1353 He still sounded grumpy, but it was obvious that he wanted her to return. “I don''t want to see Shermaine again.


    Fire her and I''lle back,” she said.


    “I''ve transferred here somewhere else. You won''t see her again.”


    “| don''t want you to transfer her. | want her out of Carter Corporation,” Sylvia said with clenched teeth. She added, “I know she


    saved Grandmother before, and if you think you owe it to her, give her some money, or refer her to work somewhere else.”


    The call went silent all of a sudden.


    Thoughts were running through the man‘s mind as he remained quiet for a while.


    Sylvia‘s expression turned cold. “Odell, if you have nothing else to say, that''s it.”


    He remained silent, so she hung up the phone.


    Back at the Carters’ residence in Westchester, the man‘s towering figure stood outside the front yard. He stared at the phone


    after the call ended, and his brows furrowed. Helplessness and annoyance were smeared all over his face.


    He had transferred Shermaine somewhere else within thepany, and it would be difficult for him to see her anymore.


    In his opinion, a capable and good employee was just as good as any other hardworking employee. Thepany’s policy was


    to promote capable and hardworking employees, not firing them without a solid reason which had never happened before.


    More importantly, there was nothing between Shermaine and him, yet the woman on the other end of the phone refused to trust


    him.


    He stood outside with a sulky expression for a while.


    Sebastian walked up to him and asked in a small voice,” Sir, it''s gettingte. Why don''t you go rest?”


    The weather was unforgivingly cold, and Sebastian was freezing despite theyers of coats he had on.


    Odell was dressed thinly, and if he continued standing outside, he would catch a cold.


    Odell regained hisposure and returned the phone to Sebastian. He strode into the house with a grumpy look. He refused to


    care anymore. If the woman decided to abandon him and the children and wander somewhere else forever, she would not have


    toe back!


    After Odell returned to his room, he took off his jacket


    and angrily threw it on the floor. He washed up in the bathroom and went to bed alone.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    The next morning, before the sky turned bright, the silence in the bedroom was broken by a loud sneeze.


    Achoo!


    The man was woken by his own sneeze. What followed was dizziness and exhaustion.


    He frowned as he got off the bed. He headed to the living room and got some medicine from the first aid kit. He took some


    medication with warm water, but the dizziness did not go away. Instead, he started to have a runny nose.


    He pulled a piece of tissue and wiped his nose.


    Sebastian and Aunt Tonya were up watching him.


    Aunt Tonya asked, “Odell, did you catch a cold? Why don''t | call Dr. Lambert over?” “It''s fine,” Odell answered with a heavy nasal


    voice before he headed upstairs. It was just a cold and he believed it was nothing serious.


    Aunt Tonya and Sebastian exchanged a quick look but remained silent.


    However, as soon as he set foot on the stairs, the dizziness assaulted his sight and the room started to spin. His strength was


    robbed and his muscles started to sore.


    He managed to return to the room, but the thought of cleaning up faded. The dizziness made him want to stay in bed.


    He copsed on the bed and rested until knocks came from the door.


    Aunt Tonya‘ called him from the door. “Odell, time for breakfast.”


    Odell opened his eyes and answered gruffly, “I''m not eating.”


    Aunt Tonya heard the heavy nasal voice and frowned.” Okay.”


    Odell woke up and grabbed his phone from the side to text Cliff. “I''m noting in today. Call me if there is anything urgent.”


    Cliff texted back instantly, “Noted.”
