Chapter 11 Settle the Score
Chapter 11 Settle the Score
Irene limped out of the hospital. Not far from the hospital, she saw a beggar squatting on the ground
and asking for money. She casually threw Edric's gold card to the beggar.
The beggar held the gold card and looked at her incredulously. Irene took two steps and turned back to
tell the beggar, "There is no password and no limit. You can take as much as you want!"
Looking at the beggar picking up the gold card and going to the ATM nearby, Irene let out a sigh of
relief. The anger that she had held in her heart had finally been relieved a little.
"Aren't you a rich and pretentious guy, Mr. Myers? I'll let you pretend!"
She stopped a car in a cheerful mood and went home. With her hands and legs injuries in the accident,
Irene didn't go to work the next day and called for leave. Jordan answered the phone in a sharp and
harsh tone, "Irene Nelson, are you pushing your luck with me because I let you go home early
yesterday? Are you becoming a goof-off?"
"That's not true, Mr. Reed. Seriously, my hands and legs are injured."
"I don't think your voice sounds like something's wrong. As long as you can get up, you'll come to work
immediately. Crawl to the company if you have to!"
Jordan hung up the phone after that. Irene flared up. Jordan's unpredictable mood made it impossible
for her to work for him. But beggars couldn't be choosers. She swallowed her anger and went to the
company.
Irene pushed open the door of the president's office. Jordan was leaning against the chair and making
a phone call. He was stunned when he saw her limping in with gauze wrapped around her hands. "Are
you really injured or just faking it to fool me?"
"I'm really injured!"
"Come and let me check!" Jordan ordered rudely. Irene walked to him with downcast eyes. Before
Irene could reach out her hand, Jordan grabbed her hand and unwrapped the gauze. He finally
believed it when he saw the wound.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you act rashly as soon as you came back? You had a dispute with
others at the party before, and now you hurt yourself?"
"I didn't want it to happen," Irene answered with her head lowered.
She was so close to Jordan that he could smell the fragrance on her body. Jordan was suddenly
aroused. He had never liked this assistant that Nathan White assigned to him, so he had never looked
at her seriously. Today, he unexpectedly found something different about her when he was face to face
with her.
Her fingers were slender and white. And he could clearly see her slender, smooth, and fair neck when
she was standing in front of him with her head lowered. He felt his heartbeat faster.
Was he possessed? How could he be interested in such an old-fashioned and unexciting woman?
Jordan instantly recalled that Irene had never looked him in the eye since the day she started to work
for him. She always looked down deferentially. There was nothing he hated more than a dull person
like this. However, he suddenly realized today that something was wrong.
Jordan was very handsome. Countless women couldn't wait to throw themselves on him. Why did this
young woman not show that kind of affection for him?
This idea irritated Jordan at once. He ordered Irene in an angry voice, "Raise your head!"
Irene lowered her head and whispered slowly, "Mr. Reed, please tell me if you need anything!"
Jordan was furious that she didn't listen to his command. He grabbed Irene's chin and forced her to
raise her head.
Irene bore the pain and looked at Jordan as he forced her head up. What Jordan saw was a pair of
extremely bright eyes.
He bit back the vicious words he was going to say. Instead, he was surprised by this woman's beautiful
eyes!
Jordan was used to being casual and did not care about anything. He pulled off the glasses Irene was
wearing and had a closer look at her eyes.
Her facial features were exquisite, and her skin was very smooth. Her charming eyes were especially
dazzling.
Jordan cursed in a low voice, "Nathan White, I'm not done with you!"
Irene didn't understand what was wrong with Jordan and why he cursed Nathan White out of the blue.
Her chin was in pain from his grip. She held back her anger and said, "Mr. Reed, can you let me go?"
"Let you go? Okay, no problem. But you have to promise me one thing!"
"What?"
