Ch. 10: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 10

Chapter 10

Norah was fulfilling his wish; he should be happy. Or was it his pride that was at work, thinking that she had brought it up and made him lose face?

Kevin shifted his gaze from her and said coldly, "It's time, go to work."

Norah looked at the time, it was exactly nine o'clock, it was time to go to work. She couldn't help but laugh, Kevin was really punctual and didn't allow her to be idle for a second.

Looking at Kevin's withdrawing back, he was full of coldness, and there was only a distance between him and her as a superior and a subordinate.

She didn't bother and walked out.

Kian was waiting for her outside the door: "Miss White, this is the document that Mr. Edwards asked you to handle."

The documents were like a mountain pressing on her hands.

Dust hit her face, choking her to cough, Norah asked: "It's covered with a layer of dust, how long is this document?"

Kian didn't dare to say: "I don't know, Mr. Edwards arranged it."

The people in the company looked at Norah with sympathy.

They thought she had offended Kevin, so she was asked to do such unimportant work. They even felt that she had fallen out of favor with Kevin.

Norah didn't know what was wrong with Kevin, but he was very abnormal and gave her some unimportant tasks.

"Miss White, you have to print fifty copies of these important documents. This is what Mr. Edwards needs, you have to do it well!" Paulina, who was also Kevin's secretary, put a stack of crumpled A4 papers in front of her, with a look of disdain and sneer in her eyes, as if she had fallen out of favor and she could immediately take the position and give her a blow.

Norah was still processing the documents. Seeing such a large stack in front of her, it was not as simple as just printing it, but also organizing it, which was impossible to complete without working overtime at night.

She raised her eyes and looked at Paulina, who sneered: "Norah, according to your business ability, it is impossible that it cannot be completed, right?"

Paulina and Norah were in a competitive relationship.

Kevin had been with Norah for many days, and the tacit understanding between the two was unmatched by others. This also made Paulina very jealous. Obviously, she was also very capable at work, but she could never compare to Norah. This accident had made their relationship worse, and Norah had to do the work of a low-level secretary.

She thought that Norah was luckier than her because she relied on her face to make a living. This time she must perform well and let Norah suffer a little.

Norah knew that she didn't like her. Usually, she was devoted to Kevin. No matter how much ridicule Paulina made, she would endure it and would not look at her twice.

This time, she was made difficult by her.

Norah didn't want to endure it anymore. If she endured it too much, others would feel confident: "Are these really the important documents that Mr. Edwards needs? If they are important documents, why don't you treat them properly? I have other things to deal with, and I'm afraid I don't have time!"

Paulina saw that Norah didn't do it, and said unhappily: "Are you trying to disobey Mr. Edwards?"

Norah looked up at her: "I only do what I can!"

"Norah, you are so bold, I think you don't want your job anymore!" Paulina was furious and spoke loudly.

If Kevin hadn't allowed it, he wouldn't let Paulina bully her.

She has been with him for so many years, and she didn't think of any feelings.

Norah stood up all of a sudden, stopped doing the documents in her hand, looked up at Paulina, and said coldly: "At worst, I don't want this job. You tell Mr. Edwards that I'm absent from work today. If he doesn't keep an eye on me, will his company go bankrupt!"

After that, she picked up her bag and turned to leave the company.

Paulina was almost mad, but she was looking forward to her fate. She shouted at her, "Okay, I'm going to tell Mr. Edwards right now. I'll see what happens to you!"

Paulina got the chance. Who dared to say that to Kevin? Now she told him what Norah said, wouldn't she be fired?

She really wanted to see Norah being fired.

She knocked on the office door and shouted, "Mr. Edwards."

Kevin didn't even look up, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Paulina stood there stiffly and said, "Mr. Edwards, Norah actually skipped work during office hours and left as soon as she said she would. She also mentioned that if Mr. Edwards didn't find someone to keep an eye on her, the company would go bankrupt. Everyone in the company saw this. Norah is becoming increasingly lawless. She lashed out at Mr. Edwards and cursed the company. I'm angry on Mr. Edwards's behalf. Her attitude makes it hard to take her seriously. Should we just fire her?"

Kevin's face was cold. He simply said, "Get out!"

He didn’t even want to listen to Paulina.

This left Paulina very confused. She knew that Kevin would be furious if he heard about this and would definitely fire Norah, but she didn’t expect that his anger would also affect her.

She felt a bit aggrieved, but seeing Kevin’s dark expression, she didn’t dare to provoke him further and left with a gloomy face.

As Norah arrived at the elevator door, a doctor with a medicine box stepped out of the elevator.

He was very tall and wore a white coat. When he saw Norah, his sunny demeanor immediately brightened, and he exclaimed, "Miss White, why aren’t you at the company? Where are you going with your bag? Didn’t Mr. Edwards tell you? I know you’re injured, so I came to check on you."

He was rarely called out by Kevin for treatment, so it was clear he was worried. He feared that something might happen to Norah.

Norah glanced at him and said, "You should still be concerned about Kevin and check on him."

With that, she walked into the elevator, ignoring the puzzled look on the doctor's face.
