Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462

Upon hearing that, Chloe felt so ashamed that she wished the ground could open up and swallow her whole.

By then, she finally figured out that Artemis knew Harry was going to come to the CEO's office, which was why he had allowed her to strip. Afterward, he wanted to use Harry to teach her a cruel lesson.

Sure enough, he was heartless.

“How could you do this, Mr. Luther?” She stomped on the ground with her high heels a few times, then dashed out of the office.

Watching her leave with her tail between her legs, Artemis sneered.

Harry gazed at him fearfully. With his voice shaking, he said, “M-Mr. Luther, Chloe's been spoiled ever since she was young. Please be more tolerant of her.”

Artemis raised his eyebrows in response, chuckling lightly. “I was merely joking earlier. Don't take it to heart. You should really tell Jacques to educate his daughter, though. The fact that she just starts stripping out of nowhere is pretty bad. It's harmful to her reputation.”

There was no way Harry had the guts to refuse.

While wiping away the sweat on his forehead, he agreed, “Okay. I'll let Jacques know when I bump into him.”

Meanwhile, the chief secretary had accepted her fate. She obediently went to the HR department to carry out the resignation procedures.

In reality, she was only doing so because Chloe had too powerful of a background.

Even if she knew that Chloe had spiked the fruits, she dared not investigate the issue.

Losing her job was not a big deal, but it would be disastrous if she did something to make the West family hate her.

All of her family and friends were in Hallsbay. If she crossed the mayor of the city, they would no longer be able to survive there.

Chloe was the only daughter of the West family, and all of her family members had high hopes for her.

If the chief secretary recklessly exposed the fact that Chloe had tried to drug someone with abortifacient, it would cause an uproar.

Consequently, Chloe's reputation would be ruined, and the West family would certainly get revenge on her in the worst ways imaginable. Her friends and family would have no more place in Hallsbay.

After leaving the HR department, the chief secretary was about to go to the finance department to settle her salary when the phone in her hand suddenly rang.

She looked down and saw that it was a call from Bailey.

The moment she saw Bailey's name on the screen, she teared up and nearly started bawling.

Once the call went through, she could hear Bailey's feeble voice. “Come to the parking lot for a second, Ms. York. Don't let anyone see you. Stay hidden.”

Then, she hung up without waiting for a reply.

Without hesitation, Ms. York immediately strode toward the elevator.

Upon finding Bailey's car in the underground parking, she opened the door and went inside.

When she saw Bailey leaning against the seat with her eyes shut, she could not help but ask, “Didn't you have a miscarriage, Mrs. Luther? Why did you get discharged so fast? That isn't good. It's harmful to your body.”

Once the words came out of her mouth, she belatedly realized that she was making things worse. Hastily, she explained, “I wasn't trying to rub salt in your wound. I just—”

Bailey raised her hand, signaling for her to stop. With a faint smile, she said, “Don't worry. It was a minor accident; I didn't miscarry.”

That left Ms. York stunned. However, after some contemplation, she understood and happily exclaimed, “Did you lie about the miscarriage on purpose? Was it because you wanted to lure out the person who drugged you?”

Bailey smirked. “I'll give you a month off from work. Take a vacation. The company will cover all the costs.”

Ms. York stared at her in a daze. “You believe me?”

Bailey could not help but laugh. “Do I seem that stupid? Don't blame Mr. Luther, either. I was the one who told him to do this. After all, I'm up against the most distinguished, rich young lady in the entire political scene of Hallsbay. I have to be careful when dealing with her. I have to eliminate this danger, and I need to make sure the West family can't do a single thing about it.”

The following day, Zeke and Shirley's engagement party was held in Century Hotel.

The Shurmer family was a prestigious family in the medical field. They had pharmaceutical factories around the globe and over a thousand branch offices all around the world.
