Chapter 37 Office Banter​

That night, Charles embraced Autumn in his arms and the two fell asleep together peacefully.


But they only held each other without doing anything further.


Autumn felt a bit strange at first. But when she thought of her promise of giving him a fair chance, she didn’t push him away. She used his arm as a pillow and fell asleep soon.


Both of them got a sound sleep that night.


When she woke up, it was a new day and the sun was shining bright. Autumn began looking for her phone to check the time. When she saw the time, she was suddenly wide awake. “Oh my god, I over-slept!”


She quickly got up to complete her chores. Since Charles slept beside her last night, Autumn slept so well that even alarms couldn’t wake her up.


When she got downstairs, she saw Charles having breakfast at the table. He looked at ease.


To not bother Autumn any further, Charles cancelled the servants’ holiday yesterday. When she saw the table being laid with a lavish breakfast, Autumn felt powerless and frustrated.


“It’s gonna be late. I won’t have breakfast.” Autumn said.


“Wait!” Charles immediately handed her a sandwich and a bottle of milk and said,”I’ll drive you to work.”


Autumn hesitated but then agreed immediately since she was running out of time. If she wasted time arguing with him, she would be late today.


He parked the car at the same corner. Autumn finished her breakfast in the car. As she was to open the door and get off the car, Charles pulled her back and forced her to look at him.


Charles’ face was in close proximity to her nose. Autumn was taken aback. She didn’t know what to say,”What… what are you doing?”




Although they were still a little far from the Cloud Advertising Company, there was a risk of her colleagues passing from there and seeing them. If they saw them together in the same car, she would probably be abused again.


Charles didn’t say anything but drew her even closer. Autumn thought he probably wanted to kiss her and hence closed her eyes. After a while, the expected kiss didn’t happen but she rather heard Charles’ laughter.


“Look at you. You eat like a child and forget to wipe your mouth.” Charles reached out his hand to wipe off the bread crumbs sticking to the corners of her lips.


Looking at Charles’ smiling face, Autumn was very embarrassed.


“I have to go.” She turned back to open the door but was pulled back by Charles again. He kissed her on the forehead,”Now that your are expecting my kiss, I shall satisfy you.”


“You…” Autumn huffed with a blush. Though she had walked a few meters away from Charles, she still could hear his laugher.


Damn Charles! He dared to play tricks on her!


While going upstairs, Autumn was cursing Charles in her heart. When she entered the office, people who had gathered to congratulate Paula gradually dispersed and the lively atmosphere suddenly faded away.


“What happened?” Autumn asked with a smile. Actually, she didn’t care about the position of planning director. The only reason why she stayed here was to pay a debt of gratitude towards Ryan who hired her when she really needed a job.


But now, Ryan didn’t seem to need her any more. It was time to leave the company.


Autumn smiled,”Please go on. You don’t have to bother about me.”


After saying that, she went to her office. She could still hear Paula’s voice,”Leave her alone. Now that she couldn’t compete with me, nothing is pleasing to her eyes. Let’s talk about our lunch. It’s on me.”






“Thank you, Paula!”


“Paula, I always know you are perfect for this position. Unlike Ye, who has nothing but meaningless pride.”


“Definitely…”


Autumn closed the door to cut off from the disturbance in the office.


Since she had just finished the case of the Shining Company, there was no new case for her to deal with. But as the general leader of the Shining Company’s case, it was her job to coordinate with them. In case there was any improvement needed by the Shining Company, she wanted to make timely adjustments.


When she was about to call the representatives of the Shining Company, Leila knocked at her door.


“Miss Ye, this is your coffee. Here you go.” Leila said with a smile. When everybody was busy flattering Paula who was the new planning director, only Leila stood by Autumn.


Autumn was touched by her gesture.


Though Leila was straight forward and blunt, she was the only one here who treated Autumn sincerely unlike her other hypocritical colleagues.






“Miss Ye, you don’t look very well. Did you stay up late last night?” Looking at Autumn, Leila said,”Miss Ye, you didn’t know what happened after you left that day. In front of all the colleagues, Paula spoke very ill of you. She also said that you left with Mr. Lu. Mr. Zhou also looked very angry that day. He left as soon as you left. Currently, there is a rumor going on in the office that you are a home wrecker.


Miss Ye, Paula ridiculed you in public. Aren’t you angry?” Leila tried to question her.


Taking a sip of coffee, Autumn felt calm and composed. She smiled and said,”No, I am not angry.”


“But she went a bit too far…” Leila seemed to be angrier than Autumn,”Even if you left with Mr. Lu, I won’t ever think of you as a home wrecker!”


Leila stared at Autumn with caution. Raising her head, Autumn looked at Leila and said,”She is right. I did leave with Mr. Lu. I was drunk that day. Mr. Lu happened to pass by and he dropped me home.”


“Really?” Leila looked at Autumn with curiosity. Obviously, she didn’t believe Autumn.


Autumn looked up to Leila and asked,”What? Do you have any problem?”


“No, no.” Leila hurriedly shook her head. She said,”Miss Ye, please relax yourself. I’ll leave now.”


“Okay, thanks.” Autumn casually said.


Not long after Leila left, Paula opened the door and came into the room. She looked at Autumn and said,”Ye, we were talking about going out for a barbecue at noon. Will you join us?” Paula crossed her arms on the chest, waiting for Autumn to answer.


“Don’t you know that you should knock before coming in?” Autumn raised her head and said with a tone of attitude.


Paula didn’t care about it. She smiled and directly sat down opposite Autumn,”Ye, you’re always so antisocial. It was such an important dinner last Friday and you left alone. You have no idea how angry Mr. Zhou was.”


Autumn pulled a long face,”If you hadn’t get me drunk, I wouldn’t have to leave.”


Paula didn’t get annoyed. She sneered,”You know, I really admire you. Though Mr. Lu just got married recently, he didn’t have any issue being seen with you in public. What exactly did you do to lure Mr. Lu?”
