Chapter 19: Cooperate to Perform


    "Yeah, men are dicks. Most women are destined to encounter with several love rats…" Alice got a


    pillow and lied down on the sofa.


    E looked up, "You have told me that you divorced with David, then why did hee to you?"


    Alice turned to her, answered helplessly, "He came to tell me that next month on his grandfather''s 80th


    birthday, I had to pretend with him, because grandpa is a very traditional sort of person that he won''t


    allow us to divorce."


    "His grandpa was that wide in control?" E was a little surprised.


    "We haven''t mentioned our divorce to our parents, not to mention the grandpa." Alice answered with a


    bitter smile.


    E felt down in heart. It was the same for her. The divorce was still a secret to their parents.


    But at least Alice managed to divorce and was free now.


    whereas E hadn''t moved to that stage. Benjamin''s threatening for the five million yuan bothered her


    deeply."E, where did you sleepst night?"


    E brought her attention back at the sudden question. She replied vaguely, "Oh, yesterday I came


    across with a college ssmate. We had a pleasant chatte to the night, so I stayed at her house. "


    Alice suddenly sat up and squinted at her. "You know how to lie now! You thought I would believe it?


    You didn''t go home to get your luggagest night? Did you have a rpse with Benjamin?"


    E said helplessly, "Sure enough I can never hide anything from you. I did spend the night at someone


    else''s housest night, but it wasn''t Benjamin. I didn''t get my luggage back and I don''t want to exin


    specifically. I''ll buy new ones anyway instead of returning there for my luggage. I took out all the


    important things like my passport and ID card. There''s nothing else mattering for me."


    Noticing the deep sorrow in E''s eyes, Alice surely understood that E had experienced something


    unpleasant with Benjamin, so she stopped her enquiring.

    "You told me that you felt sickst night and indeed you still look pale. I''m alright now so you can just


    go to rest."


    E stood up, "Shall I help you to go upstairs?"


    "Alright, you help me there"


    After supporting Alice to the upstairs, E returned to the bathroom downstairs for a shower.


    Before going to bed, she took some cold medicine again and turned off the lights.


    She finally fell asleep after scanning through the messages and finding no more harassing text from the


    hateful man.


    A good night''s sleep.


    The next day after getting up early, E felt t much better. It was good to be young for the ability to


    recover form illness.


    She ran upstairs to see Alice, wondering if she needed help.


    "No, just go to work. I''ve asked a female secretary from my dad''spany to take care of me" Alice


    said.


    E nodded in relief. When she was just about to go, she returned again to ask, "How is your mother?


    Did she hurt badly?"


    "It''s OK, she sprained her waist and needed a month''s rest, and this afternoon she will be discharged


    from the hospital and return home."


    "Good… I''m really leaving?" E was still a little worried about her.


    Alice raised her hands to worship her, "I beg you my dear sister. Just go. I am not disabled!"


    "Well, then I''ll leave you alone, really. I''lle back tonight and bring you something yummy!"


    ***


    After leaving themunity, E walked five minutes to the subway station. Just as she took the


    subway, Benjamin''s call reached her.


    "E Williams, have dinner with me tonight. My mother is here." Benjamin was driving with Bluetooth


    on.


    E replied indifferently, "So what? It''s enough that you apany her. I won''t go anyway."


    "How can that be? She doesn''t know about our divorce. My mother must be staying at home tonight.


    What will she think if you''re not at home?" He said with anger.


    Her mother-in-low was not so kind to her, but wasn''t terrible either. But now E really did not want to


    cooperate with him to pretend any under such rtionship with Benjamin.


    "Just tell your mother that I''m workingte at night to catch up on the design."


    Chill climbed up to Benjamin''s heart. He meant to take the opportunity to make Ee back to live,


    but she wouldn''t cooperate at all!


    "You are so reluctant to go home? Which lover are you out with?" His tone was full of irony.


    Anyone could satirize her, but Benjamin had no such qualification!


    E got outraged, "Benjamin Johnson, how dare you speak like that? Who is not willing to go back


    home on earth? When you and Scarlett Baker were messing around, have you thought of me?"


    It again came to the old topic. Despite that Benjamin was so arrogant and shameless, he couldn''t get


    away from it.


    He sighed, "E, can you stop talking about this? I''ve said that this is also your fault. Do you find it


    interesting to mention it over again?"


    "No! Surely not! If you had decided to divorce with me earlier, we wouldn''t have to talk about it!"


    At this moment, Benjamin guessed that she would not want to take out the five million, he said coldly, "I


    have told you, divorce is OK.As long as you hand out the five million, I promise to divorce."


    At the mention of the money and his resolution of not letting go, E was so angry that she hung up.


    Benjamin looked ahead, smiling, "E Williams, can it be so difficult to sleep with you?"


    After putting up the phone, E got off the subway directly, ignoring others'' curious eyes.


    It was still several stations away from thepany, so E decided to take a taxi.


    Luckily, she found a taxi instantly after getting out. When she got into the taxi she wondered if it was


    time to buy a car to make it easier to get around.


    She used to drive the BMW before when she was working, but now all the cars were owned by


    Benjamin, even if they had not yet divorced now she won''t retrieve what she said .


    Benjamin had already been unrelenting with her for the five million which was owed to her, and he


    would be worse if she had anything else.


    After arriving at thepany, Aiden''s message reached her just ten minutes after she turned on the


    computer. "Come up."


    She exhaled a sigh of breath, feeling really unfortunate for herself. Why were they in the same


    company!


    E pretended not to see the text message and continued to work. She had much to do today. As soon


    as she turned on theputer, the designer assigned her some projects. She had to finish 20 repairs.


    Twenty minutester, Aiden''s text came again: "Would you Like to see those photos of you on the


    company''s intr?"


    E clenched her fist but dared not to hit the table, for fear that the director hurried out again to nag on


    compensation.


    She put her phone in the pocket of her suit shorts, pretended to pour water, slipped into the tea room


    and sneaked out for the elevator."


    She knew that, the one waiting on the other end was still Miles Watson.


    She started to admire Miles. ‘Is it really good to watch for his colleague?''


    E stood at the office door in a ck professional suit, looking quite hot with her long white legs


    wrapped in the suit shorts.


    Although she was only 4.8 feet tall, she was in perfect shape with a pair of straight and long legs."


    When she walked into the president''s office, she saw Aiden sitting leisurely on the sofa in a dark suit,


    with a cup of coffee in hand, reading newspaper.


    E nced around the office. ‘The president''s secretary is really idle. Without the president''s


    attendance, he has taken this ce as his own private domain.''


    Her tone was unkind, "What do you want this time?"


    Aiden looked up at her with his dark eyes, asking unceremoniously, "Do you feel better now?"
