Chapter 6 Please Respect Me

Annie walked back to her desk, holding onto her heart that was beating so fast it felt like it would stop. She wanted to quit as soon as possible. She didn't want to spend the remaining days watching the two of them show affection in front of her every day. She was afraid she couldn't handle it and might not be able to resist questioning Brandon about why he was being so cruel to her!

After writing her resignation letter, she went to see Robert, the person in charge of the CEO's office, for approval. Robert didn't have a good impression of Annie and just perfunctorily tried to keep her from leaving before agreeing.

The resignation process would take a month, so Annie couldn't leave immediately and had no choice but to take half a month's annual leave first. Having worked at Ross Inc. for five years, she had accumulated fifteen days of annual leave, which was normal for her to use up before leaving.

Seeing how anxious Annie was, Robert couldn't help but give her a glance and said coldly: "I can approve your leave request, but once you're done with your vacation, make sure you come back quickly and hand over your work."

Annie replied with an 'okay', then picked up her bag and left Ross Inc.

As soon as she rushed out of the company building, Carl MacDonald appeared right in front of her! Seeing him walking towards her with a smile on his face scared Annie into turning around and running back inside.

Carl ran after Annie, who tried desperately pushing him away while he held onto his waist tightly without letting go: "Where are you going?" He asked playfully while blowing air into Annie's earlobe, causing goosebumps all over her body.

She pushed Carl away hard, saying coldly: "Mr MacDonald, please respect me!"

Carl bit down on Annie's earlobe teasingly, asking what respect meant. Although Carl's voice wasn't unpleasant, the things he said made Annie feel disgusted and repulsed.

Annie turned her head away from him with a look of disgust in her eyes, but Carl didn't seem to mind at all. The more she resisted, the more he wanted to conquer her, which gave him an extreme sense of pleasure.

Carl hooked his finger under Annie's chin and caressed her cheek with his transparent white fingers. She pushed his hand away angrily, saying: "Mr.MacDonald, we are not familiar with each other, so please show some respect."

A month ago, when she went to MacDonald Inc. to deliver documents, Carl had set his sights on her and, since then, often came to Ross Inc., pretending it was for business purposes just so that he could harass her.

Before leaving Ross Inc., Annie needed work and money so she couldn't easily offend him and always endured silently. But now that she was leaving Ross Inc., there was nothing left for Carl to threaten or scare her with anymore.

However, even though Annie treated him coldly, Carl didn't get angry but instead pinched her face affectionately, saying: "Sleep with me once, and you'll soon be used to it."

Annie felt sickened by how thick-skinned he was as she tried pushing away from his sticky body. The moment Brandon appeared behind them, asking if everything was okay in a hoarse voice, caused Annie's body to stiffen up immediately, making it hard for her to move around freely.

She slowly turned back towards Brandon, who stood at the elevator entrance looking straight at herself without any expression on his face while holding onto Annika Sterling tightly beside himself.

Although they were standing far away, making it difficult for Anne to see Brandon's current expression, however, those eyes were staring directly at her, emitted such a cold aura that seemed like it could swallow anyone whole!

Daniel Sterling walked into the company and saw Brandon, quickly leading a group of shareholders over to him, asking why he was at Ross Inc. today.

Brandon replied indifferently: "To send Annika."

Daniel immediately understood that Brandon had come here as his daughter's support system and nodded in satisfaction, saying: "Thank you for your hard work. Annika just returned home, so I'll take her to visit the Ross family officially in two days."

Without any emotions on his face, Brandon hooked up the corners of his mouth, politely replying with a sentence before leaving directly without even glancing at Annie once again.

It turned out that it was just an illusion earlier; Brandon didn't care about her at all; how could he have been staring at her?
