Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV: 

The next day, I followed the team to settle in Zhester Technology’s building to carry out the due diligence on Smart Technology for the merger case.

Soren was kind enough to provide a separate office for us.

"Thank you for your understanding with regards to these arrangements.Smart Technology currently has no room for you to work in.Since our companies are close to each other, it will be more convenient for you to send over the necessary documents.Anyway… sorry for the trouble," Soren explained.

Strictly speaking, this arrangement wasn’t conventional.

Smart Technology was the subject of due diligence, so we should’ve been allowed to conduct operations there.I couldn’t understand why we had to work at Zhester Technology’s office.

Given Soren’s sincerity, everyone simply agreed to the arrangement and didn’t complain anything despite the unusual circumstances.

Once we were at our desks, we began working.

Time was limited, so everyone was terribly busy.

Phil sent me and Mattie to Smart Technology to pick up some relevant materials.

Much to my chagrin, George and Jane were inside the elevator when it opened.

The CEO’s office and the core department offices were upstairs.

They probably came down from there.I knew that I wouldn’t be able to avoid seeing them now that I had to work here, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.

Seeing Jane caught me off-guard.

Suddenly, the hatred that I had bottled up burst forth like a flood, ready to drown me at a moment’s notice.I relied on my willpower to stay composed and professional.

If not for that, I would’ve lost my temper already Mattie, on the other hand, was over the moon when she saw George.

"Mr.Affleck, it’s so nice to see you again," she exclaimed.

George nodded in response.

While I was hesitating to take the elevator with them, Mattie had already walked in and stood beside him.
