Chapter 245: 288 Vouchers

I pursed my lips and neatly placed the report on his desk. His icy gaze skimmed over it, finally landing on my face. “You seemed quite happy just now? What, did you hear I’m going on a business trip, and it made you feel good?”

A sudden panic seized my heart. He had actually discovered my thoughts. I shook my head quickly, saying without changing my expression, “No, don’t guess randomly.”

“Humph!” Reynaldo chuckled.

He casually flipped through the report, then threw it at me, saying, “Redo it!”

I furrowed my brows deeply, certain he was deliberately picking a fight. Suppressing my anger, I picked up the report and asked, “What’s the problem this time?”

“No problem,” Reynaldo lazily leaned back, looking superior. “But I just don’t want to let what you’ve done pass. What should I do?”

Freakish! I cursed inwardly and asked respectfully, “Why?”

“There’s no reason why, I’m just in a bad mood,” he said with a faint smile, his cold, deep eyes revealing a hint of playfulness.

I clenched my hand in anger. “So you mean there’s nothing wrong with the report, but you’re unsatisfied because I made it?”

Reynaldo raised an eyebrow, a gesture I took as approval. I took a breath. “That’s right, I didn’t do this; other colleagues did. Now, can you let it pass?”

Reynaldo didn’t seem surprised. He grinned and walked up to me, looking mockingly and sneering, “I really didn’t know when Ms. Duffy became so kind-hearted and willing to help a colleague she just met.”

How did I not notice your kind heart before? Or is it that your heart was kind to everyone except me?

His slender fingers fell on my chest, slowly drawing circles. His eyes, however, were cold and sharp like a knife, carrying a hint of resentment.

I took a step back, pursing my lips. “I admit, I used to treat you badly; I was harsh.”

“But now, your cruelty towards me is no less than what I once had towards you.”

“That’s because there was a cause for it!” He approached, his voice menacing. “Until now, you haven’t shown the slightest hint of remorse.”

I wriggled my lips, unable to find words to refute him.

“To be honest…” he gritted his teeth, “you are selfish and arrogant, with a heart as hard as iron, and there is not a single redeeming quality in you. Whoever falls in love with you is truly unlucky for eight lifetimes.”

I glared angrily. “Then you don’t have to worry about it; it won’t be you who’s unlucky.”

“I…”

Moreover, you were venomous and perverted, narrow-minded, capricious, sinister, and domineering. Apart from being wealthy, you had no other merits. Whoever falls for you must have had sixteen lifetimes of bad luck.

“Esmeralda!” He gritted his teeth and grabbed my collar tightly.

I irritably broke his grip. He said that to me first; why can’t I retort similarly? He was just like Kimberly, allowing harm to others but not allowing others to speak about them. Ha, they really are a perfect match!

“Reynaldo…”

At that moment, Kimberly ran in again. Seeing Reynaldo and me entangled, she was stunned, then looked at Reynaldo with teary eyes. “It’s time to get off work. Dr. He said he wanted to come and get the medicine today, so Reynaldo, you…”

Reynaldo pushed me away. I quickly supported myself on the desk and barely managed to stand steady.

He coldly said, “Get out!”

I stood up and walked out. Roll if you want, thinking I’d willingly come in and endure it?!

When I left the president’s office, everyone had already left. Melany was still waiting for me.

As soon as I came out, she hurried over. “How did it go, Esmeralda? What did Mr. Humphrey say?”

“It’s okay; the report has been submitted. You should go pick up the child quickly.”

“Really? That’s great! Well then, I’ll leave first. Esmeralda, you should also leave work early.”

After watching Melany leave, I returned to my desk and packed up my bag.
