Devil President's Night Bride

Chapter 84 No Way To Like Him

"A long distance? How come?" Maggie didn't understand, "If you like each other, you should be together bravely. What are you worried about?"

"You're free now. You just said that because you haven't fallen in love with someone yet. I'm waiting to see how you will act when you fall in love with someone." Amanda smiled.

Maggie didn't care about it at all and blinked her eyes. She was taken good care of these days. Her skin was pale and tender. The dietary and maintenance of Zhao family must be the top level. After all, it was a medical family. And they were more experienced in health care than others.

Amanda was chatting with Maggie in the room. From time to time a servant came to send Maggie tonic. It seemed that they really valued Maggie as the daughter-in-law.

After a while, the servant came again to knock on the door, and the speech was interrupted for several times. Maggie was somewhat unhappy, and said directly, "Don't knock again, and don't send me any tonics."

The servant answered respectfully, "My lady, her ladyship asked me to tell you. Since Miss Xia is here, can you take Miss Amanda downstairs to have a chat if you are well enough."

"Miss Xia, it's Josie from Xia Group. Why is she here for no reason?" Maggie murmured and said, "Okay, I'll go downstairs."

Amanda shivered and asked, "Who is Miss Xia you are talking about?"

Maggie waved her hand and answered lazily, "She is a lady from Xia family. I have met her twice. She is a workaholic. But she is on good terms with Mrs. Zhao, and she came to visit us from time to time. So, do you know her?"

Amanda lied on Maggie's bed and whined.

Startled, Maggie immediately sat up and touched her hair, "What's wrong, dear? Tell me what happened."

"I originally thought it was nothing, but now I feel that I am so unlucky. I was slapped in the face and then was forced to lose my job." Amanda said in a depressed tone. To her surprise, the terrorist Josie that she had been avoiding was a relative of Zhao family. Was this a small world? Or they just met by a narrow road?

"What? Whom are you talking about? How dare he hit you? Let me see if you got hurt anywhere. This is going too far!" Maggie's anger mounted. She held Amanda's face in her hands, and Amanda looked away. "The one who hit me was Mr. Gu's daughter, Mrs. Colleen, who's married to Lin Group." she said, shaking her head.

"What? Which Colleen? Bell?" Maggie blinked.

Amanda said, "She's the aunt of Lionel. Mr. Gu had given her five percent of stock shares after she got married, so she was called Mrs. Colleen. After she slapped me, Darren told her that he wouldn't let her go easily. Then Nicholas withdrew a case, and everyone thought that they offended Nicholas, so Lin family's stock suddenly shrank. Afterwards, Mr. Gu held a banquet and invited us to fix the relationship."

"Wow, I just heard about the stock price from other people. I don't care about it at all. I didn't expect it to be so thrilling. It seems that An family treats you well. But if you offend the members of Gu family in this way, it will be difficult for you and Lionel in the future." Maggie frowned, and then waved her hand, "It's not that difficult. If you are bullied, you have to fight back, otherwise you will only be bullied again in the future. Have you lost your job because of this?"

"Compared to being slapped in the face, the fact that I lost my job really pissed me off." As a matter of fact, Amanda felt ashamed. She told the story to Maggie that she had been teased, drunk red wine,

and ate cold food. In the end, she vomited on Josie. When Maggie heard the beginning of the story, she was very angry. But later, she laughed out loud and pinched Amanda, "You're so bad. Tell me, did you do it on purpose?"

"I had an upset stomach. I almost lost my consciousness. I didn't mean to do that." Amanda explained with a pitiful look.

"I heard of Josie's bad reputation, but I didn't expect her to bully you this way. She's too much. How could she bully my bestie? Just wait and see." Maggie snorted. Then she looked at Amanda and added, "You are too weak. Do whatever she asks you to do. What's wrong with your temper?"

"I just want to help Darren win this case. He needs it." Amanda said honestly.

Maggie blinked, "Didn't you say he was bad before? Why did you help him?"

Amanda thought for a while, "I didn't like him before. He was an irritable man and always had a bad temper. But he had helped me out several times. Once, I went to the balcony but my shoes fell off. He thought I might jump off the building, so he rushed up to me. As a result, we were trapped in the elevator. When we finally opened a crack, Darren asked me to go out first. When I just went out, the elevator fell down again."

"Wow! It's horror by the elevator!" Maggie widened her eyes.

Now that since Amanda was with Maggie, she could talk freely. Her mind was still in a mess and she asked, "Do you know? Maggie, I was so worried about him. If he hadn't gone upstairs to look for me, he wouldn't have been trapped in the elevator. If I hadn't climbed up by myself, then I would have been the one who fell down. If something had happened to him in the elevator, I wouldn't have forgiven myself. Fortunately, he was fine."

"That's really good." Maggie nodded.

"Besides, because of the elevator incident, Darren fired a group of people. A man who was not willing to lose his job took the gasoline into his office and abducted me. It was also Darren who ran at all costs of his life and dealt with the man. When the man was trying to drag me into burning, Darren rushed up and knocked him down, and saved me." As she recalled the past, Amanda's eyes turned red, "He has done so much for me. I think I should try my best to help him finish a case." she added.

As Amanda lifted her head, she found that Maggie was looking at her with a meaningful look. Amanda was surprised and asked, "Why are you looking at me in this way?"

Maggie frowned, "It's said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. You fell in love with Darren after going through some hardship, don't you?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Amanda shook her head and answered, "No way."

"Why? He has done a lot for you." Maggie asked suspiciously.

Amanda sat straight and said, "He did a lot of things for me, but I can't accept them. After all, it was him who raped me, insulted me and looked down upon me. His change touched me, but when I was abandoned by the whole world, I had only Lionel by my side. Since the first day I was employed by the company, Lionel gave me warmth and happiness and that was what I really need."

Stunned, Maggie touched Amanda's forehead and said, "You don't have a fever."

"Hey, I'm so serious." Then Amanda pushed Maggie's hands away.
