Telling Lies, loving you novel Chapter 13

Half to seven.

Michelle had been waiting in the office for a long time because she didn't dare to leave without permission. She was afraid that she would be treated as an absenteeism.

It was not until 7 o'clock that some noise came from the corridor on the 23rd floor. She dashed out as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. To her intense surprise, the assistant was packing up things in his office.

Apparently, when he saw Michelle, the assistant was shocked. "Why haven't you left yet? It has already past work time." He looked down at his watch.

Michelle lowered her head, not knowing how to explain.

"Actually you don't have to be nervous. You can go straight away after work. You have freedom to work in the company, except working with the president. " Later, she got to know that the assistant was with Scott the whole afternoon and they had been in the meeting room till now.

Obviously, Scott had already left the company.

"It's getting dark. Let me drive you to go home." The assistant was so enthusiastic that Michelle turned him down without hesitation.

Seeing that she was unwilling, the assistant didn't force her. He smiled awkwardly and then left.

The bus station near the company was quite far. It took at least twenty minutes to get there by walking.

It was getting darker outside when Michelle walked out of the company. When she was about to step out, she heard a sound from her bag. She didn't need to think and she knew who was calling.

"Mother, I'll be home soon. Don't worry about me." She picked up the phone and put it near her ear. After saying this, she hung up.
