Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Are You Getting Rid of Me Because of Deirdre?

“No, of course not.” Brendan did his best to deny it. ‘Hate Charlene? That would be impossible, of course. Charlene is my savior, so I would never feel that way for her just because of that particular reason.‘

Charlene’s expression relaxed slightly when she noticed how determined Brendan was about denying it. She sat closer to him and said, “Why did you leave so suddenly then? Even if there is something important to do at the company, you still need to prioritize your health over anything else, okay?”

“Hmm,” Brendan replied nonchalantly, yet his gaze was constantly sweeping over the shut door.

Charlene took a glance at the door as well. She felt her heart racing but forced a chuckle. “What are you looking at… Brendan? Do you need something?”

Brendan got straight to the point. “Where’s Deidre? Why hasn’t she returned after such a long time? Wasn’t she supposed to fetch me water?”

Charlene’s smile froze on her face. “Ms. McKinnon… passed me the glass when she saw me. I suppose she wanted to give us some privacy, which is why she hasn’t come here.” 2

‘Give us some privacy?‘

Brendan felt a knot in the pit of his stomach yet had no idea how to vent his anger because that was just

how Deirdre behaved.

She had never competed or fought right from the start. He would say coldly whenever he was with her, ” I’m only willing to touch you because of Charlene. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be bothered to take a glance at a woman like you.”

She would express her sorrow but hold back her emotions. She would nod and answer, “I understand.”

Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain at the thought. How cruel and cold had he been in the past? 1
