“Everyone, continue to work.” Then he waved at me. “Carly, come in.”
Calvert explained to me implicitly that my message in the group chat yesterday was a bit too much.
“The work group chat is a place to discuss work. Carly, even if you have something to say, you should tell me in advance, instead of talking nonsense in the group chat.”
He frowned. “Listen carefully to what you said. What about stealing underwear? How bad will it be for your reputation if it gets out. Is that appropriate for a girl?”
I rolled my eyes. Calvert had this bad habit. He usually spoilt me in everything, but he always thought I was his appendage, which was suffocating.
Of course, he thought it was inappropriate. After all, Valerie wanted to steal my underwear just to please him. I was about to speak back, but my eyes fell on the things in his drawer and I was stunned.
“You… How come this thing is in your office?”
The drawer was open. Inside was a worn underwear with curled edges. I recognized the lace on it very well. It was the sixth underwear I lost.
Calvert panicked and stuffed it into the drawer frantically. “Carly, you saw it wrong.”
Hearing this, my face suddenly turned cold. “I couldn’t have seen it wrong. That one is the same as mine.”
Calvert wanted to hug me in a panic. “My dear, Carly, listen to my explanation… That one is really not yours. It belongs to Secretary Valerie! She was changing clothes in my office that day and she took it off and threw it here. I didn’t notice it. I will definitely criticize her severely later!”
This excuse was too ridiculous. I looked at him speechlessly. “Do you think I believe it?”
Just then, Valerie came in with tea and apologized to me with a wronged look.
“I’m sorry, Carly. I can explain. Last time, I was careless and left my clothes in Mr. Marshall’s office… I’m sorry for making you misunderstand. It’s all my fault.”
I looked at them with a playful look.
“Oh? You really leave your clothes? I want to know, under what circumstances would you leave your underwear in a man’s office?”
Valerie looked at Calvert in panic and Calvert’s face turned pale instantly. “Carly, don’t think too much. Valerie and I grew up together since childhood. If there was anything between us, we would have had it long ago. How could I be engaged to you?”
Here it came again. It was because of this sentence that I firmly believed that he was innocent.
But I had asked the hacker to hack into Valerie’s computer and saw the scandalous video of the two of them.
I knew that Calvert liked me very much and the look he gave me was gentle from the bottom of his heart. But I also heard his conversation with his friends.
“Carly is the pure goddess I always want to marry. If she doesn’t let me touch her, I won’t touch her at all. But I am a normal man, I also have desires and I must vent with other girls.”
So, Valerie, the childhood sweetheart who had always been behind him, became his plaything.
I heard that it was surprisingly quiet outside the office and there were a lot of breathing sounds. Someone was eavesdropping. It was obvious that Calvert didn’t want to tear his face off at the moment.
I sighed. “Okay, then just consider it my misunderstanding.”
I would let you go today. After all, we would play a big game another day.
When I turned around, Calvert breathed a sigh of relief. “Valerie, go and see Carly off.”
Valerie sent me downstairs of the company with her signature smile. On the way, she whispered in my ear.
