Chapter 116
In an instant , I immediately understood what was going on . Carlos was obviously buying that jade set at this point because he had an ulterior motive , so obviously the problem was n’t with Cartier products . _ _ _ _ instead _ _, the problem was with Carlos .
The jade jewelry he gave Joana and me was fake . _ _ _ _ The so-called manager Carvalho was also in cahoots with him .
When I realized this , my face immediately flushed . I got up instantly with the strong feeling of shame ,
so I turned and left
However , I did not expect Henriques to be so insensitive , as he really stopped me . “ You seem very agitated , Mrs. _ Morals . ”
“ What do you want , Mr. Ribeiro ? ” I asked bluntly . _
“ Don’t you think it ‘s bad manners to just get up and leave the person who was talking to you without saying goodbye ? ”
Seriously , who does he think he is to talk to me about manners right now ? I looked at him coldly . “ Good manners ? What is it ? _ ”
“ An excellent question ! Henriques gave me an empty smile . _ _ “ I understand that you also come from a good family , Mrs. _ _ Morals . As someone highly educated , her parents and teachers did not teach her good manners . _?”
“ Well , my parents and my teachers taught me not to eavesdrop on other people ‘s conversations , ” I replied .
“ Snooping ? This whole place is your private property , Mrs. _ Morals ? ” The smile on Henriques ‘ face disappeared and his eyes began to grow cold .
I was silent , unable to refute his question . Thus , Henriques mocked . “ You had a conversation that could affect someone else in a public place without worry , and yet you dared to slander me , saying that I was eavesdropping ? your abilityof twisting things to suit you is truly impressive , Mrs. _ _ Morals ” .
Henriques left no room for me to speak , giving the impression that we had a grudge between us . Furious with him , I snapped , “ Even if I ‘m wrong for making a public call , that doesn’t mean you ‘re much better than he is .me , mr. Ribeiro . Do you think it ‘s polite for a man like you to strike up a random conversation with a lady in public ? I do n’t think that ‘s what I would consider good manners ” .
“ Me ? Starting a random conversation with a lady ? You seem to be very confident in your appearance , Mrs. _ Morals . But you are mistaken . I’m not talking to you because you ‘re a woman , but because you slander Cartier inyour phone call . And that ‘s it . ”
“ Slandering Cartier ? Do you really think so , Mr. Ribeiro . I was n’t slandering Cartier , but even if I was , so what ? You can sue me if you think you can ” I glared at him .
“ You … You are such an unreasonable woman ! ” Henriques obviously did n’t expect me to be so unreasonable .
“ So even someone as polite as yourself knows what one would consider unreasonable , Mr. _ Ribeiro ? Just a reminder for you , Mr. _ Ribeiro , but it’s impolite to simply accuse someone of things they did n’t do . After playing these _words to him , but I pushed him aside and left . _
“ Compared to those things you did , Mrs. _ _ Morals , my words should n’t be a big deal , right ? ” The words that Henriques pronounced with clenched teeth came from behind . _ I didn’t have time to argue with him , so I sped up .
When I got back to the ward , I was still feeling a little upset . What ‘s up with my luck to bump into him ? _
When I thought of Jessica ‘s words about him being the cool , handsome man of many women ‘s dreams , I could n’t help but smile . A man of women ‘s dreams ? In dreams ! He ‘s just someone touched in the head !
