Chapter 24 Game Of Change
Seeing a self-deprecating smile on Gail's face, James flared up and yelled, "Stop! Melissa, you haven't even been in the company yet! How dare you stick your nose to my affairs? As the daughter of the mayor, you are just so so! If you are still so unscrupulous, I think you don't have to go to the company. At the worst, your father and I stop cooperating!"
As James said, he raised his eyebrows and continued, "How can a big company, the RF Group be controlled by the mayor?"
The expression on Melissa's face immediately changed as she intended to tease Gail. Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Melissa put on an innocent and pitiful look and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. James. I just said it casually. I didn't mean that. I apologize to you. I just want to express my ignorant opinion, which has nothing to do with my father."
James lifted his chin and cast a cold glance at her. Then he turned to look at Gail gently and said, "Let's go back. Don't be bothered by these irrelevant people. It's not worth it."
Gail cast her eyes down and walked back.
Seeing that Gail didn't look good, James hurriedly chased after her.
Jared knew that Melissa was not taking his words seriously, so he couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Melissa, you're so naughty. You know how much James hates being mentioned about his family by others. He doesn't have a good relationship with his father, but you stepped on his most painful spot.
Melissa got upset at once. She shook off his hand and said, "How could I know this? Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's meaningless to say it now. Don't be wise after the event." Melissa was so annoyed that she walked on high heels.
Jared realized that his tone was a little heavy, and quickly went after her. "Melissa, it's my fault. I shouldn't blame you. I want to help you, but James is too shrewd to see through your mind."
Melissa clenched her teeth and frowned, "So you mean that I deliberately made things difficult for Gail and James saw through it, don't you?"
"Melissa, listen to me first!" He grabbed Melissa's shoulder and tried to explain.
"Fuck off! I didn't expect that you were such a coward! I was so blind to be with you! Why do I want to be with you? From now on, I don't want you to appear in front of me forever! " Melissa shook off Jared's hands, "And the things that you need the help from my father will be impossible."
Jared couldn't put up with Melissa. Before Jared left, his face turned pale when he heard these words.
"Melissa, calm down. Be careful. Don't fall! Melissa, please listen to my explanation. I said those words because I really want you to be good. Melissa!" Jared kept running after Melissa. However, Melissa lost her balance and stepped on the frozen snow. She then fell down!
"Ah!!! Gail, this isn't over! It's all your fault. I'm in a bad mood because of you!" Melissa couldn't stand the grievance anymore. Looking at the empty road, she cried out. Gail and James walked a long way and reached the dormitory building.
"I'm here. You can go back first. Our dormitory is about to be closed. I'm going upstairs now." Gail had wanted to watch James leave, but when she heard Melissa's angry voice from afar, she became sober. She shouldn't be so stupid to make a compromise. For one thing, she didn't want to be a substitute for another woman. Although she was poor, she had a soul of flesh and blood. For another, she didn't want to be another woman who was wildly wished to marry a rich man. She just wanted to leave the RF Group and get away from James.
She would leave here after the internship.
After all, she had to go back to accompany her grandpa. Her grandpa who was the only family for her lived at home alone.
'Well, the differences between me and James are too many. It's time to throw away those unrealistic and childish ideas.'
"Don't mind what she said. Gail, I know you are a powerful girl. I like your personality. I wanted to tell you about Melissa. After all, I find that you hate her. If you don't like her, I won't let her come to the company tomorrow." Seeing Gai's gloomy face, James knew she was upset. So he wanted to comfort her and make her happy.
However, Gail laughed heartlessly. "It doesn't matter. She is just like that. As a CEO, you shouldn't offend the mayor because of a secretary. Don't be so nice to me from now on. You know Melissa misunderstood me. You'd better treat me as your secretary."
Her smile was harsh. James knew that she didn't want to talk much now.
"You go upstairs first. I'm going back." James stared at Gail and held his tongue.
"Okay, bye." After saying that, Gail waved at him and went upstairs without looking back.
With a wry smile, James sighed, "She's really heartless. She didn't even look at me."
Gail was not good at hiding her emotions. Even if she tried to hide them, she was not able to succeed. Having known her for such a long time, James could sense her emotion at a glance.
James had already hidden his emotions well in his family's callous living environment. If it was not someone familiar to him, no one could tell what he was thinking.
But James have periods of time, he couldn't be in a hurry. Before the relationship between him and Gail had improved, his efforts was destroyed by Melissa. Since then, James had put Melissa on his blacklist.
When Gail was back in her dormitory, she was facing three roommates who were waiting for her to gossip together.
"Gai, you are back! Finally you are back!" The eyes of Sherry lighted up when she saw Gail.
"Gai, do you still remember to come back? Tell me! What's your relationship with that rich and handsome man, Mr. James?" Iris walked up to Gail and pushed her in a strange way. Iris looked like a vixen.
"I have nothing to do with him. I'm just a poor country girl. How can I be related with our CEO? James just thinks that I'm silly, simple and easy-going, and then we become friends." Gail picked up her toiletries and went to the bathroom.
Then she added, "But I can try if you need his help while I'm still in the RF Group. You'll miss the chance after I leave the RF Group?" Gail spoke in a pleasant tone, but nobody could see the loneliness and sadness on her face.
Iris knew Gail the most, so she found that something was wrong. She put the index finger in front of her mouth.
Sherry cooperatively shut up. She talked to Iris in silence, "What's wrong?"
"I'll ask her," Iris replied.
When Iris went into the bathroom, Gail was already wiping her face.
She walked to Gail carefully and asked, "Gai, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
