She Killed My Ex novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 The Reason Why Bentley Goes Abroad 

"Caroline, tell me the truth!" Marissa wasn't someone that could be easily fooled by Caroline. She asked with a grim look, "So, you aren't getting days off because you are feeling tired?" 

After saying that, Marissa picked up her phone and looked at Caroline, "It's fine that you don't want to say anything. I'll call Mr. Shawn directly." 

Marissa was very worried and therefore she thought of such a stupid move. 

"Marissa, Mr. Shawn won't care about me." 

Marissa was stunned for a moment because what Caroline had said was so true. 

Marissa suddenly recalled that Bentley was the one who treated Caroline most cruelly. 

She was afraid that if she called and told him that Caroline hit her head and got injured, he would just be indifferent. 

"Okay, Callie. You win. I won't call Mr. Shawn. I'll call the manager of your PR Department." 

Caroline's face turned pale instantly. Then she said, "Don't call Ms. Zachary." Marissa was stunned. She didn't know that Caroline was so afraid of Ms. Zachary. Caroline looked pale and begged Marissa, "Marissa, please don't call Ms. Zachary." 

Ms. Zachary already didn't like her in the first place. If this caused more hatred from Ms. Zachary, Caroline would be transferred from her PR department. Then, she would be unable to raise the huge sum of 7 million dollars to pay back that man. 

"I hit the doorknob." 

"How did you bump onto the doorknob?" Marissa was very shrewd. How could a person bump onto the doorknob suddenly? 

"When I went back that day, it rained suddenly. I felt dizzy and light-headed after I got caught in the rain." After all, Caroline wanted to cover everything that Madison did. 

She wasn't trying to protect Madison nor did she feel sorry for Madison. She just didn't want to be hated by anyone because of that. 

She was scared. 

Just Bentley alone was enough to make her life upside down. 

The feeling of being hated by someone was killing her. 

Marissa looked at Caroline, who was in front of her thoroughly as if she was weighing the reliability of Caroline's words. 

After a while, Marissa changed to a softer approach and said, "The injury on your forehead hasn't healed yet. You should go back and rest. Only come back to work after it's completely healed. I'll inform your manager." 

"I don't want to." 

Except for drinking, Caroline, who had always been obedient to everything resisted Marissa face-to-face. Marissa was stunned and said, "Listen to me." 

"I don't want to. I'm fine." 

"You are not in good health and you still have stitches on your forehead. " 

"Marissa, if you really care about me, please offer me more jobs." 

It was the sentence that made Marissa feel distressed and sorry at the same time for the person in front of her. 

Though people all considered Caroline as a shameless and unprincipled person, Marissa knew she was unyielding in nature. Marissa rubbed her brows and said, "You may leave now." Even if she stopped Caroline this time, she would probably try another way to make more money. 

Marissa did have the 7 million dollars that she could give to Caroline. But, she knew that if her boss, Bentley found out, he would be giving her a hard time. 

After Caroline left, Marissa glanced at the check on the table. She transferred 14 thousand dollars from her account immediately to the bank card that Bentley gave to Caroline. 

Although the bank was closed, people like them always had connections to get their business done outside of working hours. 

As for the check, Marissa stuffed it into her safe box.
