Chapter 581
Fenna was taken aback by Nathan’s sudden outburst. “I haven’t done anything to Wanda,” she hurriedly explained, “nor do I have the capability to do so.
“We were simply sitting in the living room, having tea together. She’s the one who asked me to talk to you.”
Nathan’s voice was firm and deliberate as he spoke, “Your role has been reassigned. Please proceed directly to your new position and refrain from bothering Chubs in the future.” “I wasn’t here to see her,” Fenna clarified. “I was actually looking for you.”
“Why were you looking for me?”
“I don’t want to be transferred, and I won’t comply,” Fenna began. She wanted to say more, but Nathan’s furious outburst interrupted her.
“Fenna, do you honestly believe you’re entitled just because I’ve been lenient with you? I’m not your brother; I don’t have the patience to coddle you. Leave right away.”
Fenna felt aggrieved, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her voice was choked with emotion as she said, “Nate, why are you treating me like this? After over a decade of friend-”
“Please, don’t bring up friendship,” Nathan cut her off sharply. “I’m friends with your brother, not you. You’re only here because of him. I’ve shown you some courtesy out of respect for him. Do you honestly think I care about you?”
Nathan pressed on, his tone firm, “If Chubs’ feelings are hurt, whether by you or your brother, I won’t hesitate to end our friendship.
“As for the job transfer, it’s either you comply, or I resign. Also, you are to keep your distance from Chubs from now on. Stay out of our lives.”
Upon hearing this, Fenna hesitated for a moment, words lingering on the tip of her tongue. However, the call was abruptly disconnected on the other end and replaced by a busy signal. As Fenna set the phone down, she buried her face in her hands, tears flowing down her cheeks. Mila and Phoebe were utterly perplexed, exchanging bewildered glances with each other.
Mila then retrieved her phone, slowly tucking it back into her bag.
Meanwhile, Phoebe couldn’t help but sympathize with Fenna. Despite her shortcomings, Fenna was simply a hopeless romantic at heart.
Attempting to console her, Phoebe suggested, “Ms. Hudson, you’re still young and attractive. Why not pursue a relationship with an eligible man, get married, and start a family?
“Why do you keep clinging to Mr. Morrison? He’s married and deeply devoted to Mila. It’s an impossible situation.”
Nonetheless, Fenna brushed off Phoebe’s advice, tears clouding her vision as she retorted, “You don’t understand me at all!”
Taken aback by Fenna’s outburst, Phoebe responded, “You’re right. Perhaps I don’t understand your perspective. But is it justified to hold onto someone else’s husband like this?”
“I’ve said it before; I don’t need him
to marry me or reciprocate my feelings,” Fenna explained. “I just want to be by his side as his assistant, taking care of him for the rest of my life. As long as I can see him every day, I’ll be content. I’m not asking for anything more
Feeling a headache coming on, Mila rubbed her temples and sank deeper into the sofa.
Despite her efforts to reason with Fenna, she remained obstinate. Thus, she decided to refrain from offering any more advice.
Phoebe’s attempts to counsel Fenna had similarly been in vain, leaving her frustrated. With a cold snort, she remarked, “I’m honestly at a loss for words.”
Fenna’s anger flared as she demanded, “Why are you speechless? How dare you criticize me? Take a good look at your own behavior.”
Perplexed, Phoebe asked, “What did I do?”
Fenna retorted sharply, “Cole already has a fiancée in his hometown. Yet, you’re constantly flirting with him and behaving so intimately. Even a blind person could see that you’re involved in some kind of secret affair. So, who are you to judge me?”
Phoebe’s expression darkened. She was stunned and stared at Fenna in disbelief.
Growing impatient, Mila scolded,
“Fenna, stop spouting nonsense.df
Cole truly had a fiancée, he would
have already told Phoebe. It’s not your place to interfere and stir up trouble.”
Standing up, Fenna let out a contemptuous huff. “Don’t believe me, huh? Well, go ahead and verify it for yourselves.”
