Chapter 238

Reynaldo, you fell ill. Why are you keeping it to yourself? You could have asked someone to buy medicine for you. And Ms. Duffy is free; you could let her care for you. After all, she's your ex-wife and knows about your stomach problems. She must be worried.

“Her?” Reynaldo sneered, giving me a cold glance.

I pursed my lips, clutching the stomach medicine behind me, filled with self-mockery. How unnecessary and ridiculous it was to buy so much stomach medicine on this trip.

“Hey, Ms. Duffy, you suddenly came in. Is there something wrong?” Kimberly asked again.

I shook my head. “There’s nothing wrong. I just wanted to ask Mr. Humphrey when he needs the report.”

“Oh dear, Ms. Duffy, Reynaldo’s stomach is in so much pain, and you’re still only concerned about work?” Kimberly looked at me, puzzled.

I laughed. “Why should the company care about personal matters? Besides, Mr. Humphrey just has a stomachache; it’s not serious. Don’t you still care about him?”

“Get out of here!”

As soon as I finished speaking, Reynaldo growled and closed his eyes, disgusted by my presence. My heart twitched; my hand almost crushed the medicine bottle.

After a moment, I forced a nonchalant tone. “Excuse me.”

“Get lost!”

Reynaldo grabbed a pen and threw it at me, furious. I dodged it, silently closed the door, and muttered "crazy" under my breath. I don’t know what angered him. If he disliked me so much, why keep me under his watchful eye? He’s full of contradictions.

I returned to my workstation, looking at the almost-deformed medicine box. I tugged at my lips sarcastically. It was unnecessary after all. What they wanted was medicine from his beloved. People saw me and were only disgusted by my appearance. I eagerly bought medicine for him and anxiously delivered it.

Oh, Esmeralda, Esmeralda, did you lose your mind?

I no longer want to pay attention to Reynaldo. Even if he’s ill and in excruciating pain, I no longer want to worry about him excessively. I threw the medicine in the trash, dragged my chair over, and continued working.

At noon, Reynaldo and Kimberly left the president’s office together. Kimberly glanced at me and asked Reynaldo, “Reynaldo, where are we eating today? Ms. Duffy doesn’t seem to be in high spirits lately. Should we invite her?”

Alright, the troublemaker bitch has started causing trouble again.

I looked up at Melany, who was packing her bag. “Wait for me; I’ll go to the cafeteria with you.”

Melany paused, glanced at Reynaldo, and exclaimed, “You’re going to the cafeteria too?”

“Yes, let’s go eat. We’ll still have time to rest afterward. How nice.” I took out my phone and walked out, holding her arm. His cold gaze followed, but I pretended not to notice, walking out with Melany, talking and laughing.

Once we were in the elevator, Melany relaxed. She whispered, “Actually, I was planning to invite you to lunch, but I overheard Kimberly telling Mr. Humphrey she wanted to take you out, so I didn’t dare.”

By the way, why didn’t you go out for a big meal with them?

Chapter 238

“Can you cat a meal while the light bulb is on?”

Melany chuckled. “It was awkward, but Mr. Humphrey seemed really upset. He looked like he wanted to kill someone.”

I laughed. “He’s like that every day; what’s so special?”

Melany gave me a thumbs-up. “Being a woman who’s been with Mr. Humphrey is different. Your courage is remarkable. If he looked at us like that, we’d be scared stiff.”

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid of him; he’s just a lunatic.”
