Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 570: Clear Estimation Of Yourself 

Helen's POV: 

The entire conference room quieted down after they heard what I said, and everyone was staring at me with suspicion.My boss, Anya Pierce, was staring at me with shock as well.

Their intense gazes made me feel so nervous that my palms began to sweat.

"George Affleck and I went to the same high school.Perhaps I can give it a try," I explained.

Anya eyed me up and down and nodded.

"Sure." Her answer sounded perfunctory.

The lawyers and all my other colleagues were just as unimpressed by what I said, and none of them took me seriously.

Truthfully, I already regret what I said the moment I said it.

Only a few days ago, George and I slept together, and today I was about to talk business with him.

This whole situation even made it look like our impassioned night together was just a part of my plan to leverage it for business.

But in all honesty, I couldn't care less.I wanted to achieve lots of things within the law firm and improve my ability in project management.

Besides, I really needed lots of money urgently.I had transferred my mother to a private hospital in New York, and I had to have enough cash to pay for her daily expenses.

When I got home from work, I held my phone and stared at the number on the screen.

After moments of hesitation, I finally gathered enough courage to dial George's number.

Pretty soon, the call was picked up.

However, it wasn't George's voice.

"Mr.Affleck is in a meeting right now.May I ask who's calling?" said a pleasant female voice.

It must be his secretary.It turned out that he just gave me his work number instead of his private one.

Somehow, it made me feel disappointed.

After a moment of silence, I answered, "My name is Helen Dewar.Can you tell Mr.Affleck that I need to speak with him?"
