Chapter 4 Go our separate ways

(Patricia's POV)

I was scared and angry.

With Randall's ability, it was no surprise that he could find Jennifer's home.

But I didn't expect him to come here directly and appear in front of my eyes.

My body was tense, and I silently confronted him, "Mister Rayfiel, breaking into a single woman's house in the middle of the night and forcibly kissing her, which is not what a gentleman should do."

Randall looked down at me, as if watching all my expressions.

There was a long silence before Randall spoke.

"Are you angry?"

He seemed a little surprised.

I've been with him for four years, and I can count on one hand how many times I'm angry.

Maybe it did give him some freshness.

"Any woman will feel angry when she is forcibly kissed by a stranger ." I restrained my emotions, pursed my lips, and said lightly, "Mister Rayfiel, I have signed according to your wishes, and we have nothing to do with each other. You are a businessman, so you should know the importance of keeping promises."

"Stranger?" Randall pinched my chin, "Is it considered a stranger to sleep together all the time? I didn't realize that you are quite vicious before."

I smiled, "I'm sorry. This is a necessary ability to be your secretary."

My poisonous words were honed with Randall's work, but never on him.

Randall narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "You have been aloof with sex recently. After signing the documents, you immediately submitted your resignation letter and sold the real estate. It seems that I am just the one who was calculated and kicked out by you."

It turned out that he knew about selling my house.

I didn't expect that he would actually pay attention to this.

I knew that Randall never looks back, and the decisions he made always been implemented thoroughly.

Randall didn't really want to sleep with me again, but he probably thought I'm not in hot pursuit, which made him a little embarrassed.

I laughed at myself, "Mister Rayfiel, you don't have to feel mortified. No matter what the process is, I will leave as you wish."

I pinched my fingertips and my body was very tense. I bowed my head, stopped looking at Randall, and continued.

"We have been together for four years. You were tired of me, and so was I. Your performance in bed was good, but the novelty wore off after all. We're over. I'll sell what you gave me, then go home and get married. What seems to be the problem?"

Randall and I both had our separate ways to go.

A month ago, I heard that the Rayfiel Family was going to marry the Stone Family, which should be one of the reasons why Randall was so eager to draw a line with me.

Randall looked a little surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You want to marry?"

Of course, I never thought about marrying with a child, but in order to convince him, I nodded, "I am a woman who is looking forward to marriage."

Randall's face suddenly clouded over.

According to what I knew about him, he was extremely angry. But the more angry he was, the less willing he was to show it on his face.

He said, "I didn't expect that you had already arranged a way back for yourself."

"Thanks to you for giving me lessons over the past few years and teaching me to develop the habit of making plan B." I looked up at him and said with a smile, "After we broke up, you still harass me in the middle of the night. That doesn't seem like something you would do. If you don't leave, I may misunderstand that you secretely have a crush on me,"

Randall smiled slightly: "Nice try."

He didn't look at me again, just turned and left.

Silence returned to the house.

My face was a little pale and my whole body was exhausted. Then I slid down the back of the door and sat on the ground.

The back was full of cold sweat.

There was only one thought in my mind. I couldn't stay in this city any longer! Otherwise, Randall will discover my secret sooner or later!

I immediately found my phone and bought the train ticket for the first train the next day,. Then I started to pack up and get ready to leave.

The phone rang as soon as I was only halfway done.

When I heard the bell, my heart skipped a beat, and I had a bad premonition.

I frowned and took the phone, looked at Ethan's call above and cursed inwardly.

I started to regret that I hadn't blocked all the contacts of everyone related to Randall earlier.

I hesitated, but picked up the phone.

There was Ethan on the line, with a serious tone.

"Miss Hawn, Alina was originally going to take over your job, but she suddenly fell ill and needed to be in hospital for some time. She is unable to work normally. You had better back to work until she recovers."

What a bloody lie!

There was a burning anger in my chest, and my shoulders were shaking with anger.

I gritted my teeth, "There are so many capable people in the secretary department. Anyone can take over my work."

Ethan continued: "Miss Hawn, do you need me to remind you? Don't forget that you are the chief secretary of the Rayfiel Company. This is not a job that anyone can do."

I was so angry that I pinched my fingernails into my palms, and said unwillingly, "But I have already resigned! Mister Rayfiel has also received my resignation letter."

Ethan's tone was still very calm, "Yes. I gave your resignation letter to the boss. But Mister Rayfiel has not approved it yet. The resignation process has not yet taken effect, so currently you're still an employee. If you skip the work, causing huge losses to the company, the company has the reason to sue you. About that, you had better check your mailbox."

I suddenly got an email.

I clicked into the mailbox and looked at it. It was the contract document sent by Ethan. There were several contract terms in the document that he had deliberately marked yellow.

Rayfiel Group's contracts were rigorous, but they were also fair and would not be used to embarrass employees.

I also remembered these terms, but I didn't except that Randall would use it against me.

To put it bluntly, it was up to Randall to decide whether the loss to the company is significant or not.

Randall was clearly trying to piss me off!

My fingers holding the phone gradually turned pale, and I didn't speak for a long time.

Ethan had a long standoff with me on the other end of the phone.

He sighed, feeling that he also seemed a little unbearable, and finally said, "Patricia, Mister Rayfiel is in a fit of anger, just wait till he comes round You have to back to work tomorrow. Have an early night."

After hanging up, I looked at the half-packed stuff in the house. It was a mess and almost a joke.

I sighed and sent Jennifer a text message to briefly explain the situation.

Jennifer called back immediately.

"What does Randall mean? Could it be that he regretted giving you too much money and wanted to get some back? Or did he find that he fell in love with you after breaking up, so he was clingy?"

I shook my head and said sarcastically, "This amount of money is nothing to him at all, and I don't have the ability to get him fall for me. Probably he wanted to dump me, but hated to see that I was so cooperative to roll out neatly. The fact that I can easily break up with Randall was an absolute disgrace to him. It was my fault not to hold his legs hysterically and pester him."

Jennifer was sullen," If you ask me, Randall is losing his marbles."

"Can't agree more." I cursed Randall over and over again in my mind, but I did not have the guts to put up any resistance.

The legal affairs of the Rayfiel Company were very difficult to provoke, so I simply bitched out.

It seemed that I could only go to work tomorrow.

I tossed about in bed for hours. It was very difficult for me to fall asleep tonight, so I called Alina again.

"You were all right when I called you a few hours ago, but Ethan told me that you were too sick to be hospitalized now. What did you suffer from?"

"Who would have predicted such a thing as being sick? Anyway, I... I... just got sick. It was very serious, and I won't be able to work tomorrow."

Alina changed her shrewd style and hesitated on the phone.

A fool could see that she was not sick at all.

However, Randall was probably really mad at me.

I started to believe Ethan's words. Randall didn't honestly intend to let me back to work, and he was just to vent his anger.

It was a tough night, and I found myself tossing and turning in bed until dawn, lost in the wasteland of a new kind of insomnia.
