Chapter 3 SO BEAUTIFUL

Steve held the wheel tightly, thinking about what he has just done.

Why didn't he control himself and hit her?

He can get away with murder freely, but his principle and conscious doesn't allow him to kill innocent people.

Steve took out his phone to call his assistant. But he decided to check on her first. He crushed her so hard that he was sure that she is dead. He opened the door and walked to the spot and....

Wendy who had shut her eyes tightly, waiting for death waited for long but didn't feel any pain.

What is going on?

She slowly opened her eyes and a drop of rain fell on her face.

She's alive!

Wendy just stood up when she saw Steve getting out of his car.

He is not so ruthless afterall.

She saw him staring at a spot, she looked over too and immediately screamed.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh"

Steve shot Wendy a cold glare, warning her.

It turn out that Steve hit a chubby white cat instead of Wendy.

"It's bleeding so much" Wendy strolled the hair of the cute chubby creature in her hand.

"Just let it go. It is too late, she can't make it" Steve said, telling Wendy to let the cat go.

Did I just say he isn't ruthless?

I was wrong, he is 100 times ruthless!

"No. I'll get her to a nearby vet and keep her as a pet" Wendy stroked it hair Lovingly.

Steve shook his head in disgust as he watch her stroking the cat's hair. He couldn't take it anymore, so, he snatched the cat from her and threw it away.

"What are you doing?" Wendy shouted, displeased.

Steve didn't care about her or the cat. So, he moves to leave, then, he suddenly halted.

What if this stupid woman tries to kill herself again? What if she sit in the middle of the road and I hit her?

Though he won't even be arrested or questioned if he kills her, but he just doesn't want to.

What a lucky woman!

"Where do you live, I can drop you off" Steve ice cold voice sounded.

Wendy suddenly realized she has nowhere to go. She turned on her phone and realized she has 206 missed calls.

CEO Reginald?

She suddenly remembered she stole from the company too, and by now everyone should be aware of it.

Now she is dead!

How is she going to live now?

"Where do you live" Steve asked again, getting impatient.

"I don't have a house. I have nowhere to live anymore" Wendy replied absentminded.

Is this woman kidding me?

Wendy saw the doubt on his face and didn't bother explaining, she just looked out of the window, enjoying the cool breeze of the night.

Steve glanced at the little woman who looked so carefree, enjoying the view. There was a smile at the corner of her face.

"So beautiful" Wendy said, enjoying the night view.

"Should I drop you on the street?" Steve asked, suddenly disrupting her happy moment.

"Can you please drop me off at Daylight Minimart?" Wendy asked.

She might as well go to Clara's house to stay for the night, she thought.

"Okay" came the reply.

The car finally stopped in front of Daylight Minimart, Wendy got off, and Steve zoomed off immediately.

"Such a crazy man".

Wendy crossed to the other side of the road and rang the door bell of Clara's house.

The door opened, followed by a sleepy Candy,Clara's cousin.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Candy asked, half asleep , with her eyes closed.

"Open your eyes, it is me Wendy"

Candy was immediately wide awake. "Wendy?" She asked softly and she quickly pushed Wendy inside and locked the door.

"Wendy, what are you doing here by this time? Clara is not home, she is at her boyfriend place and she is not coming back tonight " Candy quickly explained so that she can go back to sleep.

"Alright. I had a fight with my parent,so I am sleeping here tonight" Wendy said, already removing her wet coat.

Not wanting to have a conversation, she replied "Oh! Make yourself at home then. I am going back to sleep now" Candy yawned

"Before you go, can you please get me a dryer?" Wendy asked.

Candy who just wants to sleep started grumping. "You know where Clara's room is, you will find one there" Candy walked away immediately.

Wendy could only helplessly go find the dryer herself.

Steve drove into his manor at exactly 10pm. He was so furious that he ignored the butler's greeting. He didn't have time to shower or eat, so he just went straight to his study and turned on his laptop, joining the zoom meeting.

"I am sorry I am late." Immediately Steve said this, everywhere became quiet and everyone stared at the screen, wondering why their workaholic boss is 2 minutes late for the first time.

"We will begin the meeting now." Steve said, his face turning serious and icy.

"Sir ....." The PR manager called out, hesitating.

Steve who doesn't like to be interrupted frowned.

"What is it?"

The PR Director, Mr Lawrence had no other choice than to tell him.

"Actually, Mr Steven isn't here yet, his wife is in labor and he is the one doing the report for our department " Mr Lawrence said, silently praying.

"So I should put the meeting on hold and wait for him? If he is not here, someone else should report." Steve replied angrily.

Mr Lawrence swallowed hard before saying l: "Sir, everything we need is with him, so I...I... don't think another person can...." Steve cut him off before he finish his sentence.

"Mr Lawrence, is this how you direct and manage your subordinate? I want your resignation letter on my table first thing tomorrow morning. And tell that Mr Steven that he is fired too"

Mr Lawrence didn't see this coming, he thought he would just be scolded, thrown out, or maybe his salary would be deducted. He couldn't argue with Steve or apologize, he could only leave the group with grief

"Let's continue tomorrow." Steve said and ended the call.

He went straight to his bedroom to take a shower.

He then suddenly remember the little woman.

Will she try to kill herself again??

A question he will get an answer to in the future......
