Chapter 456
It was the second time Theresa had heard that. She gave a smile. “I don’t think so.” She had had this thought before, but what happened yesterday made her feel that Charlie was quite good to her. She was happy and didn’t want to bother thinking that much for now.
Johnson said, “Men are fickle. I know Charlie is nice, but are you sure he won’t mind what happened with you and Jimmy? Alas… I do hope you get along. I don’t want you to get hurt again.”
He was sad to think of what had happened to Theresa. She had always been obedient and sensitive, but she had married Jimmy and ended up being hurt badly. It was so frustrating! Sometimes he even blamed God.
Seeing Johnson on the verge of tears, Theresa laughed. “Come on, it’s part of growing up. I’m doing well now!” She had learned that Pat had fired Jimmy. She got hurt this time, but it ended well.
Johnson said, “I’m leaving.”
“I’ll walk you out.” Theresa stood up and walked Johnson out the door.
In the car, Leah asked Sarah, “How could you talk to Charlie like that?”
Sarah asked rhetorically, “How do you want me to talk to him? Mom, if you want me to please the cripple like Theresa, I’d rather die. I’ll never please him!”
Leah shouted, “You have to be polite to him! Don’t you know our company relies on him now?”
“Didn’t he invest because Theresa married him? What are you afraid of with Theresa around? Don’t worry. I’ll get the company back on track on my own. We’ll never have to please him. again.” She clenched her fists. She had studied business to impress Charlie. She couldn’t believe she couldn’t even manage a company.
Leah sighed and was about to say something else when she saw Theresa and Johnson coming
out.
