Chapter 1324

It was a quiet night, but Sylvia’s mind uncontrollably replayed the scene she saw at Odell’s office where Shermaine had leanedagainst his body.

She did not want to dwell on the thought, but she could not help herself, even more so when he barely came home recently dueto work, and it was his secretary that accompanied him day and night.

Ding!She suddenly received a text on her phone.

She picked it up, anticipating it to be the man, but it was actually a text from the teachers‘ group from the academy. She hadbeen home for more than an hour now, and the man did not even bother to text her.

Did he not bother to even explain himself anymore?

Her eyes became watery again, but she rubbed them dry before she tossed her phone to the side and buried herself under thesheets.

At Carter Tower, the man had rested his eyes for quite some time after Sylvia left. After he got enough rest, he returned to hisdesk and continued his work.

LILLShermaine was outside the door, peeking into the office. A while later, she came in with another glass of water.Odell glanced at her. “You can go home. | have no use for you at the moment.”

Shermaine pursed her lips into a forced smile. “Sir, | have nothing to do at home either, so why not let me stay here? | can helpyou if you need anything at all.”

Odell's eyes were glued to the document in his hand and did not reply. His frosty expression veiled his true emotions.

Shermaine assumed that he heard her and tacitly approved of her staying. Her eyes gleamed as she returned to her ownworkstation.

Then, she texted Ruth.

“Aunt Ruth, Sylvia came again tonight, but Master Carter told her off because of me!”The reply came instantly. “Really?”

“Of course!”

“Hoho? What did you do? | want stories.”

Shermaine explained how she purposely spilled the water on Odell and seized the chance to fall onto him all while beingwitnessed by Sylvia.

She smiled and continued texting, “I didn't expect her to come in at such perfect timing and that Master Carter would scold herbecause of me. It seems like he’s getting fed up of that woman.”

Ruth replied, “You're right, but | think it's better for you to be careful. Try not to use your little tricks anymore, and avoid havingany body contact with him.”

Shermaine frowned and disagreed with the suggestion.” Aunt Ruth, why not? | believe Master Carter has developed feelings forme. He even told me to go home and get some rest. You should know how cold he is to others, but he cares about me.”

Ruth went silent for a while before replying, “Sher, | just think he didn’t see through your little trick of spilling water on him. That'swhy he defended you. Besides, he’s been busy lately and must be overwhelmed with work.

Not only did Sylvia not console him, but she even suspected him of having an affair with you, which fueled his annoyance.That’s why he told her off.”

Shermaine got annoyed by the distrust, and she grumbled, “You're in another country, and you didn’t see it happening. What doyou know?”

Nevertheless, she texted back, “Aunt Ruth, so do you. think Master Carter doesn’t have feelings for me? If not, then why did hedefend me? Sylvia wanted him to fire me on the spot though.”

Ruth replied almost instantly, “It’s not that. You’re young and beautiful, and you’re his type. If he has no feelings for you, hewouldn't have defended you in front of Sylvia.”

Shermaine’s cold expression turned warm after the text.

Several seconds later, she received another text from Ruth. “I just want you to be more careful. Before Odell completely falls foryou, don't try to approach him anymore. He's a cautious man.”
