Fearing Harold would pull any more crazy feats, Wrenna got rid of him before Charlotte woke up.
Fearing Harold would pull any more crazy feats, Wrenna got rid of him before Charlotte woke up.
She simply couldn't afford to put Charlotte's well-being at risk again, especially when Charlotte was starting to recover from her illness.
Although she felt a little bad getting rid of Harold, her rational side told her it was for the best.
Harold could only imagine how Charlotte would cry her eyes out when she woke up and found out that he was gone.
Even so, Charlotte wasn't his daughter, and he had cured her illness, so there was no reason for him to stick around anyway.
Harold assumed Wrenna would take the rest of the day off to look after her daughter, but he saw her arrive at the office on time when he went back to work.
Holy crap! Not only is she insanely rational, but she's also a freaking workaholic! I don't get it. She lives in a luxurious mansion and owns a fancy car. Why would someone as wealthy as her work this hard?
Moments after entering the office, Wrenna walked up to Harold with a folder and said, “Harold, the advertising plan for Larson Corporation is ready. They want it urgently, so I want you to deliver it right away.”
“Sure thing, Ms. Turner!”
Harold happily accepted that task while the other employees shot him envious glares.
They were going crazy from working overtime every day, so they all wanted to be given an easy task for a change.
However, Wrenna chose to give Harold the easy tasks instead.
Having assigned the task to Harold, Wrenna was about to head back to her office when he walked up to her and whispered, “Did Char ask to see me after waking up? I think you should take the day off to look after her.”
“So what if she did? As long as you stay out of her sight from now on, she'll probably forget you even exist. I don't need you sticking your nose into my parenting methods,” Wrenna replied with a look of disgust on her face.
Ugh... Why is this creep getting so close to me?
It wasn't until she saw the other employees staring at her in shock that she realized she forgot to lower her voice.
Wrenna was so embarrassed that she ran back to her office as quickly as her legs could carry her.
“Hey, Harold! What's your relationship with that hot supervisor of yours? How come you two have a daughter?” one of his colleagues asked in surprise.
“Sure thing, Ms. Turner!”
Harold happily accepted that task while the other employees shot him envious glares.
That was when the other employees realized what was going on.
Now it all makes sense why Ms. Turner hasn't fired him even though he skipped work for dozens of days! Not only did she spare him from working overtime last night, but she even gave him an easy task today! Those two must have an intimate relationship outside of work!
“You guys have the wrong idea. There is nothing going on between Ms. Turner and me!” Harold explained helplessly.
“Pfft... Yeah, right! How would you explain what she just said, then?” the colleague asked.
All the other employees, too, were staring at him with doubtful looks on their faces.
Harold felt uncomfortable being questioned by so many people, so he decided to distract them by saying, “I need to deliver this document, so I don't have time for this crap. Oh, by the way, you guys can return to your usual working hours by tomorrow!”
He had just left the building when Wrenna received a call from Steven.
