Chapter 2 Being Molested Again

Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the building of J Group. Cecilia got out of the car and looked up at the magnificent building. Her heartbeat went abnormally fast.

Since she came from a poor family, she was not able to go to college. She could never have a chance to enter such a big company. As she stared at the enormous building, a sense of self-abasement and fear surged up in her heart. She took a deep breath before she stepped forward and entered the building. Yvonne had already instructed her to tell the receptionist that she was here for business.

The receptionist was not convinced but still accompanied her to the floor where Shaw's office was located.

Cecilia was too tensed that she even forgot to knock on the door. She just turned the doorknob and entered.

This time, Shaw was dressed neatly. He casually leaned against the chair, with a steady cold aura in his eyes.

He seemed to notice that someone else was inside his office because he raised his head unhappily.

"Which department are you from? Don't you even know the basic courtesy?"

he snapped. But when he recognized who she was, the angry expression on his face changed into surprise.

"It's you!" His eyebrows raised as he looked at her sarcastically. "You are too desperate to get your money. But if my memory serves me right, you didn't even give me a satisfactory service."

Cecilia didn't know what service he meant, so she didn't mind it. After all, she had a different purpose for coming here. "I'm sorry for being impolite. I'll go out and knock again."

She was about to turn around when Shaw spoke up. "Do you think I will accept that?"

Looking at Cecilia, who looked like a frightened rabbit, he smiled surprisingly.

Actually, when he came out of the hotel, he already knew that there was a mistake. He was even thinking about how to find her. Unexpectedly, it was she who came to him.

"Then... what do you want me to do?" Cecilia stuttered in nervousness. She wished she could just bite off a part of her tongue.

"Finish your unfinished task. Otherwise, you won't get a single penny from me." Shaw stood up and walked to her side.

She was really frightened by him. But still, she managed to say, "Do whatever you want to do. But after that, let me tell you something."

The smile on Shaw's face deepened. "If you say so."

To Cecilia's surprise, Shaw's lips covered hers. His familiar scent penetrated her nostrils, and she felt dizzy again.

But when she came back to her senses, she struggled. "Mmph! Let me go. You can't do this to me."

She pushed Shaw with all her might, feeling aggrieved.

In her twenty years of existence in this world, Cecilia had never been kissed by any men. Even her boyfriend was only able to hold her hands.

Shaw raised his eyebrows discontentedly and held her tightly in his arms. It was the first time that a woman had resisted him this much.

"Don't you want money?" His cold eyes squinted at her.

Finally, Cecilia found the opportunity to speak up.

"I didn't come here for the money. I'm here to tell you something else."

"Oh?" Shaw let go of her. She then added in a hurry, "I'm here to see your general manager."

"Albert Li?" Shaw frowned but motioned for her to continue.

Cecilia didn't hesitate anymore and told him everything.

Shaw listened quietly. The frown on his face deepened.

"Are you telling the truth?" he asked in a low voice.

Cecilia nodded hard, but she was perturbed. She couldn't help but worry that Shaw might choose to believe his employee.

This time, Shaw's face darkened. He picked up the phone and called his secretary. "Come to my office and take this lady to the lounge."

Five seconds later, a tall and beautiful woman came in. With a smile on her face, she said, "Miss, please follow me."

Cecilia followed the secretary without any questions. The secretary gave her a glass of water before going back to her desk.

Cecilia had been waiting for a while now, but no one came to her. As she paced back and forth inside the lounge anxiously, she got more and more convinced that Shaw would cover for his employee. When she couldn't stand it anymore, she pushed the door and walked outside.

As soon as she stepped out of the lounge, she bumped into a man.

"Where are you going?"

Shaw reached out to stop her. Cecilia stepped back in panic.

"I'm going back," she said, rubbing her fingers.

"Are you really sure that you don't need the money?" He deliberately protracted his voice. All of a sudden, he felt like teasing her.

Cecilia raised her head and asked excitedly, "Is he willing to compensate my mother?"

Shaw took out a check and said, "One million. If this is not enough for your mother's treatment, you can come back to me."

Cecilia's eyes widened in shock. Shaw was giving her too much. The doctor told her that she only needed fifty thousand dollars for her mother's surgery.

"This is actually... too much," she stammered

as she took the check from him.

Shaw's lips curved into a satisfied smile. He had proven that Cecilia was not a greedy woman, and he liked it.

"Do you need more money?" He continued to tempt her.

This time, Cecilia played it smart. She asked vigilantly, "Do you want me to act with you again?"

Shaw snapped his fingers. "You get it right."

Cecilia blushed and shook her head. "Sorry, I'm not good at lying. You'd better find someone else."

When she remembered Veronica, who cried at the hotel, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her. If Shaw didn't like Veronica, he could have just said it directly. It was wrong to hurt Veronica this way. Besides, Cecilia had a boyfriend who would be back in a few days. If her boyfriend misunderstood, she didn't know how to explain the situation clearly.

Shaw didn't expect her answer, but he knew that she made sense.

But still, he wasn't about to give up. "Why don't you think about it carefully?" He was like a wolf, finding a way to catch his prey.

Cecilia shook her head and refused firmly, "No, thanks. If you'll excuse me, I need to see my mother in the hospital now."

However, before she could even make a move, Shaw raised his hands and pressed her on the wall.

With a playful smile on his face, he said, "I'll let you leave now. But make sure that you won't come back to me and cry."

Cecilia quickly got out of his arms and said, "Don't worry. I won't come to you again."

She then ran away as fast as she could. She felt like a bunch of mice were racing inside her heart. There were two reasons why she felt so nervous. First, she got so much money that she didn't expect. Second, Shaw was not as cold to her as yesterday, and she could sense danger in it.

Cecilia only felt relieved when she arrived at the hospital.

"Cecilia, you're back. How was it?" Yvonne asked upon seeing her.

"It went well. I got the money."

Cecilia shook the check in her hand, and Yvonne grabbed it quickly. When Yvonne saw the amount written in there, her mouth turned into an O shape.

"This is so much money. How did you make it?" Knowing how timid Cecilia was, Yvonne couldn't believe her eyes.

Cecilia couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. "Actually, I didn't do anything. I just told Shaw the truth, then he gave me the money."

Yvonne patted her on the shoulder and said complacently, "See? I was right." She then pulled Cecilia and urged her, "Don't be stunned anymore. Go and look for the doctor."

Cecilia nodded and went to the doctor's office.

When the doctor found out that she had enough money for the surgery, he arranged everything and scheduled the surgery.

After waiting anxiously for a while, a nurse finally came out and asked Cecilia to get the medicine. Cecilia rushed downstairs to go to the pharmacy. She was about to go back upstairs when she heard someone yell, "Stop!" She turned to see who it was, and she saw a woman squinting at her, looking like a proud peacock.

The moment she saw the woman's face clearly, Cecilia's face turned pale at once. She didn't expect to see Veronica here. When she remembered what happened that night in the hotel, she lowered her head.

"Can I help you?" Cecilia asked politely. She held the paper bag in her hands tightly, feeling a little uneasy.

Veronica grabbed the paper bag, and the medicine fell to the floor.

"How do you think a bitch like you can help me?"

But Cecilia seemed not to hear Veronica at all. Her attention was all on the medicine as she exclaimed, "My medicine!" She hurriedly crouched to pick it up, but Veronica stepped on it rudely.

"You bitch! Don't pretend to be pitiful. You looked so proud when you slept with my man. What's wrong with you now? Are you suddenly scared of me?"

Veronica kicked the bottle hard, and the transparent liquid gushed out of it.

Cecilia rushed over, hoping to save the medicine. Unfortunately, Veronica kicked her and Cecelia fell to the floor.

"Tell me, how did you hook up with Shaw? Make sure that you tell me everything clearly. Otherwise, you won't be able to take your medicine back."

"No, you don't understand. Let me explain," Cecilia said as she climbed toward the bottle.

"What? Are you still going to deny it? I saw everything with my own eyes. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Veronica got more furious and stepped hard on Cecilia's hand.

Cecilia groaned in pain. She tried to pull her hand back, but Veronica stepped on it harder.

"You're a bitch." Veronica looked down at Cecilia with mockery. "You don't deserve Shaw."

This time, Cecilia couldn't contain her anger anymore. She replied, "No wonder Shaw doesn't like you. You are a shrew."

Veronica poked Cecilia's forehead angrily and said, "Who do you think you are to say that to me?" She lifted her leg and kicked the bottle aside.

When she saw that the bottle of medicine was almost empty, Cecilia got more furious. She was timid, but she also had a bottom line. And that was her mother, who depended on her.

She stood up and hit Veronica's belly with her head. She was filled with grief and indignation now.

"Miss, you've gone too far. You have to compensate for my mother's medicine that you've wasted."

Veronica didn't expect what Cecilia did, so she stumbled.

Enraged, she yelled, "How dare you hit me!" She held onto the railings to steady her feet. Her beauty was already ruined by the ferocious expression on her face.

When Veronica recovered from the shock, she stretched out her hand and pulled Cecilia's hair. She then raised her handbag and smashed it on Cecilia's head. "I'll show you how powerful I am, so you will learn to get scared of me. I'll beat you to death, shameless bitch."

Since Veronica hit her so hard, Cecilia lost the strength to fight back. So she just held her head tightly and retreated. The security guard on duty noticed the commotion. He rushed to them to mediate. When Veronica finally let go of her, Cecilia found out that Veronica had pulled a lot of her hair.

"Miss Li, why are you here? Are you hurt? Do you need to see a doctor?"

The hospital director was shocked when she found out about what happened. But it was too obvious that her attitude towards Veronica and Cecilia was totally different.

She looked at Cecilia with disgust.

"Are you a patient here or a family member of a patient? What's your name? Don't you know the rules of this hospital? Who gave you the courage to make trouble here?"

Cecilia pouted upon hearing the hospital director's series of questions.

However, she still wanted to apologize. "I-"

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a familiar magnetic voice.
