"Mr. Stayton, we have to go as we still have a meeting at one, " the bodyguard reminded again.
Harry gave Carla another glance before passing her and leaving.
He didn't say a word the whole time.
Standing still, Carla listened to Harry's footsteps as he left. Her heart felt like a piece of glass being smashed into pieces.Does he not recognize me anymore?
Or did he choose not to?
Perhaps, I am just a shadow in his heart. A blot in his life. He doesn't want to bring it up or have anything to do with me.
Holding that thought in mind, Carla felt as if a knife was slicing her heart.
"You're late!"Zain's voice rang out from behind her and as if the Devil himself was giving her a warning.
Carla brought the food into the meeting room looking sullen.
"Is this the breakfast you bought?"
Benard took over the food from her hands and placed them on the table one by one.
Pizzas, beef sandwiches, coffee…
It is what I had requested.
However, something doesn't seem right.
"Where did you get them from?" Benard asked.
"The canteen."
Carla was expressionless as her thoughts were still swirling around Harry.
She had often fantasized about how it would be like when they were reunited. However, this wasn't what she expected.
Harry must have looked down on me when he saw me in such miserable circumstances.
The fact that he recoiled half a step and the indifferent look in his eyes, made her feel as if he didn't know her at all.
"How is this acceptable?" Benard reprimanded, "I have told you that Mr. Giblo wants pizza from Mario's, the beef sandwiches from Le Cordon Bleu, the hand-brewed coffee from St. Laurent's…"
"He is a human just like anyone of us. If we can eat it, why can't he?"
Carla could no longer endure it anymore and began to vent her frustration.
If Zain hadn't asked her to get breakfast, she wouldn't have bumped into Harry.
Zain, who was sitting on a leather revolving chair, raised his gaze from the documents in his hand and glared at Carla.
"This is absurd!" Benard snapped, "How dare you talk to Mr. Giblo this way?"
Carla ignored him as she turned to leave.
"Report to the janitorial department tomorrow, " Benard declared from behind her.
Carla stopped in her tracks and turned around. She took off her employee tag and threw it on the table. "I quit!"
This time, she finally said it. There was no need to gather any courage nor to overthink the consequences.
"Erm…" Benard was stunned.
"What did you say?" Zain squinted his eyes and gazed deeply at her.
"I said… I quit!" Carla raised her head and looked straight at him. She ranted emotionally, "I'm not going to entertain your volatile and irregular emotions anymore!"
Surprisingly, Zain was not angered. Instead, a faint smile emerged on his face as he looked at her with interest.
Benard and the other bodyguards were stunned.
This was the first time someone dared to talk back at Zain. Is this woman mad?
"I suggest you go and see a psychologist. You should cure your illness as soon as possible."
After shooting Zain an angry glare, Carla stormed out with her head held high. At that moment, she felt that was the coolest thing she had ever done.
The moment she stepped out of the meeting room, Carla received a call from Mrs. Borah. "Miss, something terrible has happened."
"What is it?" Carla anxiously asked.
"The kindergarten teacher called and said that both Randy and Josh got into a fight. They even broke someone's car window and the owner is asking us to compensate eighty thousand."
"What? Eighty thousand?" Carla's heart dropped. "Are they trying to scam us? I'll head over now."
"Mmm-hmm. I'm on my way, I'll see you there."
After ending the call, Carla returned to the security department to get changed. After that, she left hurriedly to Apple Kindergarten.
When she called Venus's teacher, the teacher instructed her to head for the principal's office.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Carla hurried there quickly.
When she arrived at the door, she heard a haughty voice. "These two children not only beat Simon up, but also broke my car window. I will not let this matter slide."
