Richard didn't come back all night. Amy didn't know if he had made up with Allison. Anyway, Amy didn't sleep well either. There were lots of things going on. And sometimes, she thought of Richard.
When Amy woke up the next morning, she got dark circles under her eyes, which made her eyes look even bigger.
Amy wanted to cover the dark circles, but she couldn't find any makeup. She never wore makeup. She only had a lipstick.
Forget it. Even if she managed to cover them, it couldn't cover up how she was feeling. She was so tired.
"Mrs. Carter, Mr. Carter said that you don't need to go to work today. You should rest at home." Robin said to Amy when she went downstairs.
‘What? He just doesn't want me to upset Allison.’ Amy thought to herself. Never mind, she didn't care about it. Even if she couldn't work at the HD Group, she could find another job. It was time to resign. It seemed that she couldn’t stay in the company any longer.
"Alright," Amy replied. She sat down and took her time with breakfast. She majored in German, so she might be able to find a few part-time jobs and do some translation. She couldn't work outside. Otherwise, Robin would ask her about it. After she made some money, she could move out.
Robin felt bad for Amy as she remained silent. But he couldn't say anything because Richard told him not to talk much.
Robin couldn't understand young people nowadays. He could tell that Richard cared about Amy. It was just that he didn't know how to show his care. Anyway, Richard would suffer in the end.
After breakfast, Amy went upstairs silently. She turned on her computer and started looking for a job. She wouldn't resign to her fate. She would find ways to survive no matter what.
On the other side, Richard did not sleep well either. He stopped following Allison after she got home.
Then, he called Hadrian, Allison’s brother, and told him everything, hoping that Hadrian could persuade Allison.
Richard never wanted to expose Amy to the public, but Allison had gone too far at that time. Moreover, he didn't know that Cathy had given the jade bracelet to Amy. But it showed that they had taken Amy into the family.
What should he do now? If Amy came back to work again, what should his employees call her? Mrs. Carter? So, his wife worked in the secretariat, but another woman stayed in his office?
It was such a headache. Yesterday, Allison was so sad that she ran away. Richard couldn't just tell Allison to move out of his office when she came to work today.
Richard had never been such a coward since he entered the business world many years ago.
"Richard, what was going on yesterday? Amy is your wife. So, that investigation you required was to check her background before marriage?" Kevin heard about it and came to Richard's office early in the morning.
Kevin looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Yeah," Richard said indifferently.
"You married Amy, so you should tell Allison about it. Now what are you going to do? Who will you choose? Are you going to divorce Amy since Allison is back?" Kevin asked.
