"Dad…" Black called. He grew emotional as he watched the back of his own father, slowly walking away from him.
Rex, however, didn't seem to hear his son's pleas. He turned and headed downstairs.
During the past few days, Rex had become softhearted and had been thinking about changing his mind. He thought it might be a good decision to let Black see Holley again. Although Rex didn't like Holley, Holley was pregnant with Black's child. Rex was going to have a grandchild.
But what happened today made Rex even more sure of his original decision. No matter what happened, he would never let his son see that woman again.
After Rex left, Black fell on the ground, lowered his head, utterly frustrated and depressed.
Black had made up his mind. He decided not to give in to his Dad this time. It was time for him to decide for himself. It was his life, and no one had a say in it except himself. He would fight with Rex. Otherwise, he could never be with Holley.
In the company
Holley just drove from her house to the company. She'd woken up in a bad mood.
"Are you blind? Watch where you're going!"
An employee bumped into Holley by accident. Holley slapped him in the face, which shocked him.
"Sorry, Manager Ye. I didn't mean to do that. I'm really sorry!" The employee felt like his face was burning. He covered his face with one of his hands, nursing the pain. He apologized to Holley, hoping that she would calm down.
"Which department do you work for? You're fired! Pack your stuff and get the hell out! I don't want to see your face again."
Holley pointed her finger to the door.
The employee shook his head and left in frustration.
However, yelling at someone didn't make Holley feel any better. Instead, she seemed to get even more annoyed.
At that moment, her phone rang. Holley impatiently answered the call.
"Hello!"
"Wow, Manager Ye, you sound angry."
Holley was too angry to look at the caller ID before she answered the call. She was surprised to hear that it was Leila calling her.
"I'm not mad. But I do have something to share with you." Holley became even angrier when she heard Leila's voice. Leila couldn't do anything right and kept getting her into trouble.
She thought this was a good time for revenge. She wanted to make Leila jealous.
"What is it?" Leila asked, after hesitating for a while.
Holley answered Leila excitedly, raising her voice, "I'm pregnant!"
"What?" Leila was so surprised to hear the news. She thought she'd heard it wrong.
How could Holley be pregnant when she wasn't married?
However, Holley sounded way too serious and excited to be lying. But then again, Leila was confused as to why Holley would be excited about being pregnant.
After all, Holley wasn't married, and yet she got pregnant. Holley should be ashamed of herself!
Leila looked down on women like that. Still, she faked her excitement and congratulated Holley, "I'm so happy for you, Holley. Congratulations!"
