Chapter 273
Chapter 273
I knew that in Louie's opinion, it would be very strange for him to suddenly pay attention to Abbie, but I couldn't explain it to him now.
If Harrison really transferred Abbie away, then everyone in the company would think that it was me. Today, everyone had a reason to keep silent about my questioning of Abbie, as well as what Liu Qian and Liu Qian had said.
"From today onwards, Abbie will not be here in the future," Louie said.
"Why?" I asked incredulously, "Is it really because of Harrison? Did he lure Abbie away?"
"It's not completely the same. Uncle Ling wants her to return to the family business. Harrison is not expensive. He is just pushing the boat with the current."
Louie's words explained the reason, but for me, it was as if he didn't. Because anyone with discerning eyes could see that Harrison's so-called pushing the boat with the current was all because of me.
I sighed and said, "No wonder my colleagues avoided me today. There is a reason.”
"You don't have to care so much. These things will happen sooner or later." Louie said with a faint smile.
This was obviously a word of comfort, but it sounded like a gap when I heard it. I said impatiently, "You don't understand at all. I only want to have a stable job and get along well with my colleagues. But now? Everything has changed!"
"In the beginning, Liu Qian didn't treat me the same way as she did before, so even if she and Abbie joined forces to deal with me later, I never paid much attention to it. Just take it as the fate between us that we don't have friends. But now, I can't even avoid colleagues. I..."
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't finish my words. I only knew that I was very sad in my heart, but I couldn't complain, because all this was done by Harrison.
It turned out that Harrison had heard what I said last night, so he stayed in the study all night. Early in the morning, he let me hear the news that Abbie had left. I should have been happy, but I couldn't be happy.
Because only I understand that Harrison is really angry.
He dealt with Abbie, whom I had always cared about. Next, it might be Ning Jiayi. What I needed to do was to keep a distance from Louie in front of me and completely cut off contact with him as Harrison had said.
Looking at Louie, who was still concerned about me in front of me, I had some leeway in my heart. Maybe all of this was just my onesided idea. I felt my shoulders become heavy, and when I looked up, I saw Louie's face.
Louie smiled gently at me and said softly, "Abbie is still the heir of the Ling Family. It's only a matter of time before she returns to her own company."
"Really?" I asked.
"It's true. The Ling Family has always hoped to find someone to live in, so the family business has always been owned by the Ling Family."
Louie slowly explained to me one by one. I gradually woke up from the initial uneasiness and understood the impact of Abbie's search for a son-in-law on me. "Harrison will never marry into my family. I'm sure."
"With his ability, he naturally doesn't need to do such a thing." Louie said with a smile.
"Then why did Old Man Ling keep an eye on Abbie's interactions with Harrison?" I asked subconsciously. After that, I said apologetically, "I didn't mean to ask you, I just asked it subconsciously."
Louie put down his hand and smiled helplessly at me. "If you're willing, I can always be your spy."
Then he continued, "The reason why Mr. Ling thinks highly of you is that he thinks you are not afraid enough. Harrison will abandon you and throw you into the arms of the Ling family sooner or later. After all, the Ling family is one of the best in business."
"It's a pity that Elder Ling didn't expect that Harrison would not abandon me. Instead, he was getting better and better for me." It seemed that I didn't hear the first part of Louie's words and answered the latter part.
Louie nodded. "Yes, so you don't have to worry about Abbie's departure."
Speaking of this, I thought of my colleagues' attitude toward me today and Liu Qian's words. Obviously, they all thought that they would be driven out of the company if they offended me. I really wanted to explain it clearly, but how could I explain it clearly?
My current mood was two completely different extremes. On the one hand, I was happy that Harrison and Abbie wouldn’t have a chance, and on the other hand, I didn't know what to do with the impact of my career. However, I couldn't tell anyone else about this, because no one could understand this kind of feeling.
"Thank you. I'm fine. Don't worry." He smiled at him.
Louie nodded and said, "If you can, why don't you come with me for dinner now?"
"You should go and eat. I don't have much appetite." I refused.
However, as soon as I finished my words, Louie pulled me into the elevator and went to the canteen. "Even if you don't have an appetite, you still have to eat. Otherwise, how can you have the strength to work?"
Most of the colleagues had already left during the meal. The rest of them just glanced at me, then lowered their heads and whispered to each other. I knew the reason. Even if I didn't have to listen, I could know what they were talking about.
The meal ended in a state of hesitation. It turned out that Louie's words comforted my heart and made me even more uneasy. As long as I thought that my work would be affected by this kind of atmosphere in the future, I could not calm down.
Even Liu Qian, who used to make trouble for me everywhere in the past, seemed to see the air when she saw me. There was no reaction.
The secretary who was close to the end of work informed me of the meeting. As soon as the announcement was over, there was a lot of discussion. Standing behind me, I vaguely heard something: "It must be for the sake of Mr. Ling's departure. These things have nothing to do with us. I should let Chelsea go to the meeting alone, be careful when talking, and not let you go next. There are so many things like that."
I wanted to refute but knew that I couldn't. Otherwise, it would only backfire.
When I entered the meeting room, I saw Harrison sitting in the front. He was not in the office when I looked for him at noon. I didn't know when he came back. I sat in the back corner, trying to become transparent. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"From now on, Mr. Ling will no longer be in charge of the company. Everything will still be done according to Mr. Liu's time." The personnel department was the first to announce this notice.
Harrison sat in front of me with his head slightly lowered and said nothing. I couldn't see his expression from a distance.
Ten minutes after the meeting, Harrison, who was silent, suddenly stood up and said to the crowd, "I know that everyone is confused about Mr. Ling's resignation. They also suspect that her departure has something to do with Chelsea, and what is the relationship between me and Chelsea?"
Hearing this, I was stunned. I looked up and met Harrison's eyes. I heard him continue, "Mr. Ling's resignation is a personal reason. It has nothing to do with Chelsea. As for me and Chelsea."
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly smiled. Then, he left his seat and walked towards me step by step...
