Chapter 31: Older Sister’s Invitation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After being silent for a long time, Layla forced down the bitterness in her heart and laughed grimly in an inaudible manner. Perhaps to a cold-hearted person like Andre, whether he was having an intimate relationship or not did not affect him at all.
Upon seeing this kind of Andre, Layla’s heart felt incomparably infuriated. She really wanted to turn around and leave. However, when she thought of the evil spirit in red, she could not leave yet.
Although the evil spirit in red had not appeared ever since she had come to Andre’s house, Layla could feel that she had been following her and waiting for the right moment.
Clearly, this female evil spirit in red was more powerful, smarter, and even more cautious than the child spirit.
Because of yesterday’s incident, Layla had been full of tender feelings for Andre before coming to the company. However, Andre’s attitude right now was like a bucket of cold water that had been poured directly over her.
Layla lowered her head, so Andre could not see her current expression. However, he could clearly feel her sorrow.
The next moment, Layla lifted her head. There was no sorrow or sadness visible on her face anymore, as though the unhappiness she had felt previously was just Andre’s misperception.
Layla had still been struggling with her feelings for Andre yesterday before she’d gone to bed. Since Andre was treating her like this now, Layla simply let go of her psychological burden.
Perhaps the two of them had been in a mutually exploitative relationship to begin with. In that case, she would continue to pester him like in the past and be Andre’s assistant first.
Upon seeing Layla like this, Andre did not want to stay in the office anymore. He found an excuse to convene a company meeting in the conference room.
However, when Layla saw Andre leave, she hurried after him, as she had done a few days ago.
Nothing seemed to have happened between the two of them, but only Andre himself knew that his feelings for this young girl had changed.
Before Layla could reach him in her wheelchair, Andre had already walked quickly through the office door. He had no intention of waiting for Layla.
The automatic door slammed towards Layla when Andre let go. When Andre noticed this, he paused but hardened his heart. In the end, he did not backtrack to pull open the door for Layla.
Layla used to be a member of the school sports team, so she was actually very tenacious within.
Since she had made up her mind not to leave Andre before settling the problem of the evil female spirit in red, Layla was even less likely to retreat because of his cold attitude.
With one hand propping the automatic door open, Layla pushed the wheelchair with the other and caught up with Andre.
Although this small matter couldn’t stump Layla, she still felt wronged and angry. She did not understand why Andre had changed so much before and after. Her eyes felt sore and dry.
However, Layla was a girl who rarely shed tears. She had an unyielding spirit, and she was even more unwilling to lose her aura in front of Andre.
She let out a long breath and followed him quickly into the elevator.
Layla had been too anxious to chase after Andre just now, so she had not noticed that his gaze was constantly fixed on her situation, fearing that she would really be struck by the automatic door.
Just as Layla had missed the affectionate look in Andre’s eyes, she was also unaware that when Andre had just woken up today, he immediately received a call from Catherine Brian.
Although Catherine had not said anything on the phone, she had requested for Andre to return to the gang and insisted on him bringing Layla along!
Andre was alarmed. He keenly sensed that things were not simple. Naturally, he did not want Layla to follow him back to the gang.
Although he was the only former successor and head of the Brian family, who was of a high status…
However, because he hated the cruel and bloody battles within the organization and was also unwilling to use those despicable tactics to seek profits, he had taken the initiative to give up his position as the person in charge and entered Layla’s father’s company as an ordinary person.
And the current head of the Brian family was his half-sister, Catherine Brian.
Because of his personal choice, Andre had left the syndicate, so his current power was far weaker than that of Catherine’s.
