Chapter 220 Invisible Hurts
Dean's words made Leila's face burn red.
She knew well that she was a foodie and didn't like exercise, so she got fatter and fatter.
"Mr. LaRoche, I promise to lose weight during the trial period."
In the future, she would run not only in the morning but also in the evening.
She didn't believe she couldn't lose the fat on her body.
"Well, the probationary period is shortened to one month for you, work hard."
Dean said a few words politely, then left Leila and walked towards his exclusive elevator, but in the blink of an eye, his robust figure had disappeared at the elevator entrance.
After she couldn't see him, Leila turned her gaze back. As she turned her head, she found that her boss was staring at her with displeasure.
Leila pursed her lips, did not speak and went back to the office of the finance department silently.
Because Leila had the competence for the position of financial director, in addition, almost everyone admitted that she had a relationship with Dean, the financial director regarded her as a thorn in the side, afraid that she would replace her position though she was still a clerk in the probationary period.
In particular, not only the financial director who hated Leila but also others plotted against her in various ways, trying to find her mistakes at work and make her leave during the probationary period.
If it were the former Leila, who was targeted and isolated by her colleagues, she would have given up immediately.
But now, Leila had made her decision to endure it, at least until she won Andy's custody.
After Leila left, other staff from the finance department came to the director's side and said,
"I can't imagine such an ugly woman dares to wink at Mr. LaRoche, and Mr. LaRoche said so many things to her."
When Leila and Dean were talking, she was just facing Dean, which was rumored to be winking at Dean.
"She was married and had a two-year-old son."
The financial director said flatly, "Mr. LaRoche cannot possibly like her."
"That's right. I won't believe any man or Mr. LaRoche would want such a fat and ugly woman. Why doesn't her husband divorce her? Can he afford her? She eats so much."
The financial director smiled but didn't say anything.
She found out that Leila and Mr. LaRoche knew each other because Leila had accidentally scratched Mr. LaRoche's car. Leila's brother-in-law knew Mr. LaRoche. For her brother-in-law's sake, Mr. LaRoche allowed Leila to work here.
Mr. LaRoche had no interest in Leila.
However, what she was afraid of was not their relationship, but whether Leila would take her place because of her outstanding ability.
Although everyone was agitated by her to frame Leila, Leila solved problems one by one. From this point, it could be seen that Leila would replace her soon if she wanted to.
"Which motorcycle is Leila's?"
"That one."
"Is there a repairer near the company?"
"No. It takes a long time to find a repair shop for motorcycles."
The financial director hummed and walked away.
Her supporters looked at each other.
Soon, everyone understood her meaning.
If they couldn't frame Leila at work, then they would create all kinds of troubles for Leila in life, forcing her to leave the LaRoche Group under unbearable disturbances.
...
On the way to the resort in the western suburbs, Teresa called Gwen, "Gwen, I'm going out with grandma to relax today, and I can't go back to the store, so I'll leave the store to you."
Gwendolyn smiled and said,
"It's okay, have a good time with Vivian. I'll be here as usual."
Anyway, tomorrow would be the weekend.
They usually did not open the door on weekends. If Teresa opened the door, she would weave something in the store.
After finishing the call, Gwendolyn said to herself, "Tess's married life is getting more and more exciting."
"Gwen."
When the familiar voice sounded, Gwendolyn's pretty face darkened.
She watched Ezra walk in, and said to him angrily, "Ezra, I've told you. Why not listen to me? Don't come here again in the future. it's impossible for you and Tess!"
Ezra was a little haggard, with serious dark circles under his eyes, and stubble had grown out since they talked last time. At this moment, he didn't look like a young man twenty-two years old.
Seeing his appearance, Gwendolyn also felt distressed.
Love's hurts were invisible.
Ezra has been secretly in love with Teresa for many years, and it was very difficult for him to give up.
"Gwen."
Ezra cried out in pain, "I've been trying to endure it for a few days, but I can't. As soon as I calm down, I will think of Teresa. I really, really like her very much. I love her so much. I can't let go. Gwen, what should I do? Can you help me?"
Ezra grabbed Gwendolyn's shoulders and begged, "Gwen, I'm your cousin, and no one can help me except you."
Gwendolyn patted his hands holding her shoulders, and said solemnly, "Ezra, I've told you many times. Teresa is married. She has a husband. No matter how much you love her, you can't change this fact. Give up. She is not suitable for you, and it's impossible that she will love you."
Then, she warned Ezra viciously, "If you dare to pester Teresa brazenly, I won't let you off. And if you do that, Teresa will take a detour when she sees you in the future, and you can't even maintain the relationship of ordinary friends."
Ezra was in great pain.
He had been secretly in love for many years. However, just when he was about to confess my love, the woman he loved became someone else's wife.
He couldn't express his deep feelings.
He was sad and regretful.
He regretted that he didn't confess his love to Teresa at the time he found out he had fallen in love with her. Even if he was underage at the time, he might ask Teresa to wait for him to grow up.
"Gwen, I want to meet Teresa, okay?"
"No!"
Gwendolyn slapped him on the arm bitterly, "Listen to me. Don't do that. Do you want to hurt Teresa?"
"Gwen, don't you feel sad for me because I can't get my woman?"
"Short-term pain is better the long-term one. You will be fine after this period. Ezra, you are still young, only twenty-two years old, and your future is promising. You should find a lady who can satisfy your mother, who is in line with your Porter family, not Teresa."
"No matter how good Teresa is, she doesn't belong to you. I don't belittle my best friend but the reality gap between you and Teresa is too big. Your Porter family will not allow you, the default successor, to marry someone useless to you and the Porter family."
"Teresa has no backing, she has no power and influence, and she runs a small business, which is useless to a large group like yours. Do you think you can marry her if you like her? Have you considered realistic factors?"
"Ezra, you are still too young to see things clearly enough. It's naive to think that if you like someone, you can marry her. Listen to me, don't think about Teresa anymore, she is already Mrs. Donovan!"
