Chapter 220 Self-Righteous
Cierra was shocked, and a helpless expression appeared on her bright face.
She didn’t have time to think about it and quickly got up to catch up.
The other two people in the office were also stunned and followed her.
Children ran very fast, and there were a lot of things in the Mr. Barton’s office. In the blink of an eye, the short child ran away.
When Cierra came out, she only saw a blurry figure. She followed him to the corridors of each office area. When she looked up, he only saw people sitting at their desks. She couldn’t see Will at all.
Guilt and unease filled her body in an instant. She didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
She was too self-righteous.
She thought that the little fellow treated her differently. Last night, when he stuck to her arms and complained about his grievances to her, Will didn’t tell anyone but came to her alone.
So she tried to guide Will to see the current situation as an elder. He couldn’t let everyone wait for someone he couldn’t find.
But even so, she shouldn’t have looked for him so bluntly.
Moreover, they had only known each other for a day or two. How could she know how many things he had hidden in his heart?
Cierra was too full of herself and cursed herself in her heart.
“Don’t worry. The exit of the top floor requires permission. He won’t get lost.”
Jaquan’s calm voice came from behind her. He patted Cierra gently on the shoulder and said, “I’ll get someone to check the surveillance video later. You don’t have to look for it blindly.”
When Cierra saw him, the guilt in her heart grew even stronger. “…I’m sorry, Jaquan Barton.”
Jaquan could still laugh out loud.
“You’ll know when you stay at home for a little longer. This is not the first time that this kid has dared to do this. If he can hide better, he can sleep outside for the whole afternoon and come back when he is hungry. My parents and I are used to it.”
“… Really, really?”
Cierra looked at him and blinked her eyes in disbelief.
Jaquan couldn’t help touching her head and said with a gentle smile, “Yes. I heard that when you and William come back yesterday, he also lost his temper and hid. Mom even drove Cherry out. Is
that true?”
Thinking of what had happened yesterday, Cierra’s heart was filled with anger.
It could be seen from Jaquan Barton’s tone that he didn’t seem to know anything about Cherry at all. He even sounded a little intimate with her.
‘Her face darkened and she defended Will. “It’s not like Will lost his temper for no reason. There was a reason for him to hide yesterday, so it’s natural for him to chase Ms. Riley out. It’s the same today. It’s my fault for not knowing what’s appropriate.”
Seeing that she was so serious, Jaquan was slightly stunned.
Then, the gentleness in his eyes rippled again. “You.”
He couldn’t help but knock…
Her forehead and looked at Cierra helplessly.
“You said that you don’t know what’s appropriate, but what you said is in my heart. I’ve heard what
you
said to Will just now. You’re right. What if that woman can’t be found? Do I have to live like this for the rest of my life and watch her marry someone else?”
He lowered his gaze and inadvertently glanced at a certain desk.
They didn’t know where she was. The office was empty, and there was only a thin blanket on the
back.
In addition to a lot of documents on her desk, there were also some fashionable books, casual snacks, and a lot of other things, which were very different from her usual business style.
There was a bottle of flowers in the upper left corner of the table. He knew that it would be changed every week. The purple baby’s breath was matched with other bouquets.
There was a sunflower last week, and this week was a bunch of daisies.
It was as if she was treating the office as her home.
Jaquan withdrew his gaze and said softly, “Fortunately, Cierra, you reminded me today. Otherwise, I might regret it in the future.”
For the sake of a woman he had never seen before, he turned a blind eye to his lover.
He was really s*upid.
“But… Will.”
Cierra was worried that Will wouldn’t be able to accept it.
“He has to accept it sooner or later. If it weren’t for you, he might have used a crueler way to let him
