Elena was well aware whoever fed her the contraceptive pills could just use this nasty trick in secret. After all, if they were caught by Cornel and George, they would be thrown in prison and lose everything.
Logan caressed her face, "I will arrange someone to protect you."
"No, don’t bother,” Elena refused at once, "I have to work. It’s inconvenient for me to have some bodyguards follow me. I just commute everyday between home and the company."
Hearing the reluctance in her tone, Logan gave in, "OK. Don't worry about that. This will never happen again."
"I know!" she smiled.
Because she trusted him unconditionally.
...
In the Brown’s Villa, Yolanda was complaining to her mother. She was having a hard time since Logan sent her to work in the warehouse. So she was crying to Jacqueline, expressing her reluctance to go to the company anymore. “Mom, Logan sent me to carry things all day long. Look at the blisters on my hands, and the broken nails!"
Seeing the blisters, Jacqueline felt upset immediately. She hugged her and coaxed, "Oh, my poor girl. Then don’t go here anymore. From now on, you stay at home, and I will protect you!’
"Thank you, mom, I know you are the best!"
"What’s going on?” Grandpa George walked in with his cane and Pigeon standing on his shoulder.
Jacqueline was startled and explained hurriedly, "We are talking about Yolanda's internship," she complained with a long face, "You see, Yolanda is a lady but directly assigned to the warehouse on her first day of work. Did Logan arrange it on purpose? Is he trying to torture her? Look at her hands!"
She showed Yolanda's hands to Grandpa George, "See these blisters? How painful she is. And it’s killing me. I think she shouldn’t work for Logan anymore."
"Why can't she work in the warehouse?" Grandpa George had a look calmly, not upset at all, "When I started my own business, I had a small stall on the street, remember? It was your idea to let Yolanda work at Logan’s company. Now you want her to quit. What do you want on earth? Will you be happy that she just stays at home all day long?"
Jacqueline was afraid to contradict him, for fear of saying something wrong and offending him.
Seeing that Grandpa George wouldn’t change his mind, Yolanda felt wronged. She said unhappily, “Grandpa, I can start from a clerk. But why should I have to work at the warehouse? I can't lift those stuffs. They will break my arms!”
"Anyway, it’s up to you if you want to continue or just quit. I'm old and don’t want to interfere with your decision!” Grandpa George turned around and left angrily.
While Yolanda looked at Jacqueline, "Mom, what did he mean? Am I going or not?"
"Of course you are going!" Jacqueline glared at her in disappointment, "Now that your grandpa has made himself very clear, you have to go. If you don’t, he will never trust you with other important work!"
