Chapter 2 Shaun's Ruthlessness

It was Yael who opened the door, and he seemed to want to leave.

Maeve clenched her fingers, adjusted her expression, and nodded: "Hello, President Gabrielson."

Then, she walked past him and handed the documents in.

In front of the luxurious desk, the man was wearing a valuable suit, which made him look particularly handsome.

However, Maeve could see that this suit was not the one he wore last night.

She lowered her eyes, "President Ford, please sign this marketing report."

Shaun signed and handed it back expressionlessly.

Maeve took it and walked out. Yael, who looked surprised, was still at the door.

It was not until Maeve's back disappeared at the elevator that he said: "Fuck, little Maeve didn't hear anything, did she?"

Shaun's beautiful phoenix eyes were calm, and Yael's words did not cause him to falter.

Maeve has always been docile and never jealous.

As long as she behaved well, he would not treat her badly.

-In the elevator-

Maeve raised her head, not wanting to let the tears fall, but the tears still dripped from the corners of her eyes.

She thought two years was long enough, and he would see her love, see her goodness... but everything was just what she thought...

It turned out that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't beat the return of his White moonlight.

The elevator door opened, and Maeve had returned to normal, but her face was too pale.

She forced herself to walk into the tea room, wanting to make a cup of tea to sober herself up.

The chatter of several employees inside came into her ears.

"Have you seen the news? Shirley Lynn has returned to C City."

"Who is it?"

"Don't you know? She is the daughter of the Lynn Group, and she is also a senior designer. The key is that she is the only girlfriend our president has ever admitted to. I heard that she is also our president's first love!"

"Isn't it rumored that the president and Assistant Maeve have that?"

"Her? At most, she is a friend with benefits. The president has never admitted it. Look at how you flatter her and treat her as if she is the main wife. How stupid!"

Maeve curled her lips and smiled sarcastically, thinking that no one can see it more clearly than her.

Only she is obsessed.

"Hey, has the president's wife woken up from her dream?"

A mocking voice came from behind. It was Shaun Ford's cousin Sadie Ford who came in. She always had a problem with her.

Presumably, she had heard all the gossips of the employees inside.

Maeve did not want to have a conflict with her in the company, so she turned around to leave, but was blocked by Sadie.

Holding the coffee she had just received, she said with a mean look on her face, "Now that Sister Shirley is back, do you think Brother Shaun will still sleep with a lowly, waiting, woman like you?"

Seeing that Maeve ignored her, Sadie continued to ridicule her.

"How about I introduce you to a few old men? Anyway, you are good in bed, so it doesn't matter who you sleep with."

Maeve clenched her hands secretly at her side, and said coldly,

"This is a company, not a place of love. Miss Sadie should go somewhere else if she wants to do business."

"You...!"

Little Sadie thought that this was a disguised way of scolding her for being a pimp.

Her's face changed.

She suddenly threw the hot coffee at Maeve.

Maeve didn't expect her to be so crazy, and quickly stretched out her hand to block it.

The whole cup of boiling hot coffee was poured all over her arm, and her snow-white skin instantly turned red.

Maeve frowned in pain and shouted angrily, "What are you going crazy about?!"

It was break time, and there were many employees watching the fun, so Sadie was even more proud.

She said with a mean face, "Why are you so proud every day? Don't think that others don't know that you are just a bastard without a father or a mother! I don't even know where your mother found a wild man to give birth to you..."

"--Pa!"

The rest of Sadie's words were interrupted by the crisp sound of a slap.

She never thought that Maeve, who usually tolerated her, would hit her, and she didn't react for a while.

After a while, she screamed and said, "You, you dare to hit me!?"

Maeve looked at her coldly, "I'm teaching you what is politeness."

She has no parents, but she will not allow anyone to slander her.

Also, her grandmother told her that her mother is a very gentle person, unlike what Sadie said.

Sadie's face turned pale with anger. As Shaun's cousin, she was used to being flattered, but this was the first time she had been hit.

"You bastard!"

She rushed up like crazy, raising her hand high, ready to hit Maeve in the face.

Maeve was prepared this time, and stretched out her hand to directly grasp Sadie's wrist, making her unable to move.

Sadie was small and not as tall as Maeve.

At this moment, she was waving her claws like an octopus, which looked a bit funny.

She was furious and blurted out a curse, "Who do you think you are? You are just a thing for Brother Shaun to warm the bed. You are not even as good as a prostitute!"

Sadie's words were very unpleasant, and more and more people gathered.

"Nonsense!"

A deep male voice sounded behind her. Shaun Ford had just come out of the office and saw this farce.

In an instant, the lounge was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Brother Shaun?" Sadie was a little afraid of him. Her cousin was very strict, and her mother also reminded her to be more restrained when she saw her cousin.

But when she thought about the fact that she was the one being beaten, she toughened up again, stretched out her red mouth, and cried, "Brother Shaun, look, has Maeve gone crazy?!"

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, casting a shadow on the handsome features of the man.

Maeve's nose suddenly felt sore, with the pain of being wronged and the pain of the back of her hand being burned.

When their eyes met, Shaun frowned: "Assistant Smith, don't you remember the company's rules and regulations?"

The man's ruthlessness was like a wall, stopping Maeve from breathing.

Therewas silence all around.

She stood alone and helpless, her figure slender but straight, like a green bamboo in the misty mountains and waters.

When she first entered the company, Shaun Ford told her that the company was not a place for her to show off, and he would not condone her gaffes.

Maeve knew all of this and could understand his position.

But at this moment, she really wanted to ask him if he had heard those words, or if he had also tacitly agreed with those words that - she, Maeve, was just a bed warmer.

The colleagues who had been watching the fun dispersed after Shaun came, but there were still a few bold ones who secretly stood not far away, waiting to watch the show.

The man's cold eyes made Maeve feel cold from head to toe.

She pinched her palms to suppress the pain that was about to overflow, and bowed her head to Sadie.

"I'm sorry, as an employee of Ford's, I shouldn't hit you."

Sadie looked at Mingxi and bowed her head, raised her chin and looked complacent: "Haha! Don't think that you can be fine just by apologizing--"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Maeve, "This slap only represents me personally, as Maeve, I refuse to apologize."

After that, she didn't look at the man again and passed by.

"You... bastard!"

Sadie's face was twisted with anger.

She was used to being domineering, but this was the first time she suffered such a big loss, and it was at the hands of a woman she looked down on.

Now even if this woman was cut into pieces, it would not offset the humiliation she suffered.

She said angrily: "Brother Shaun, listen to what this bastard said! She slapped my face like this, and she is still so arrogant. If you call her back, I will slap her a hundred times!"

Shaun looked at Maeve's thin back, with a layer of shadow on his thin eyelids.

"That's it." He said coldly.

Sadie's methods have always been vicious. She felt that Shaun did not favor Maeve just now, so he did not care about her.

She gritted her teeth and said with a vicious look in her eyes: "Next time, I will find someone to tear her face off!"

"Sadie Ford!"

Shaun narrowed his eyes.

Sadie felt her hands and feet go cold.

His handsome face was gloomy, "I'll only say this once, put away your nasty thoughts and don't touch her."

Sadie was directly overwhelmed by this terrible aura, and the vicious tricks that had just sprouted in her heart were directly swallowed back.

She stammered, "I know, I know..."

Shaun glanced at Sadie coldly, and when he left, he told Zayne behind him, "Anyone that is irrelevant is not allowed to come in from now on."

Sadie was still unaware, and flattered him, "Brother Shaun, you have such a big company, and you should have rules."

The next second, Zayne stepped forward and gestured to her, "Miss Sadie, please."

Sadie suddenly realized that she was the irrelevant person. She wanted to chase after Shaun's back, but was dragged out of the door by the security guard Zhou Mu called.

No matter how much she threw a tantrum, the security guard showed no mercy.

...

Maeve returned to the office and changed her clothes.

Thinking of the man's cold face, her heart was sad.

When it was time to get off work.

Zayne stopped her at the exit.

He said, "Assistant Smith, the president has something urgent to do and asked me to take you there."

Maeve refused.

She couldn't see clearly before, but now she knows...

What is she?

How could Shaun accompany her to see her grandmother?

When Maeve arrived at the hospital, the nurse was preparing to serve her grandmother a meal. She took the food and fed it to her grandmother herself.

Her grandmother had been living in the countryside before. Last month, she was diagnosed with pancreatitis during a physical examination. Despite her grandmother's objection, she insisted on bringing her from the countryside to the city for treatment.

Her grandmother didn't know about the secret marriage.

She had planned to take Shaun to tell her grandmother today to give her a surprise, but now it seems unnecessary.

After her grandmother fell asleep, Maeve came out of the ward and stood at the door waiting for the car.

In the distance, a black luxury car stopped at the main entrance of the hospital.

Maeve's eyes lit up. That car belonged to Shaun.

He came to the hospital to find her?

At this moment, all the grievances and unhappiness were thrown behind her.

Shaun came to find her, does it mean that he still cares about her...

The car door opened, and the man walked down with long legs.

Maeve walked over happily.

The next second, she was stunned.

Shaun walked around to the other side, bent down, and carefully picked up a girl.

His handsome face was filled with tension and heartache.

In an instant, Maeve's face lost all color and her heart shattered.
