All Chapters of Be Gentle With Me, Mr. CEO: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Knowing it was futile to argue with Pierre, Calla stood up and said, "You're a top lawyer, I can't win against you in a debate. But from now on, let's keep our distance, Mr. Garland. Please understand where I'm coming from."After saying this, Calla turned and stormed off toward the door."What kind of distance are you talking about?" The voice behind her suddenly asked as she reached the door.Calla paused, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked at Pierre seriously. "The kind of distance that should exist between a normal employer and a normal employee."Without waiting for Pierre's response, Calla turned and left his office.After leaving Pierre's office, Calla walked around the hallway and noticed many people gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other. When they saw her, they quickly dispersed.Calla knew that these people were gossiping about her relationship with Pierre. She understood that she couldn't stop the rumors, so she decided to keep her di

Alicia carefully examined the corner of Calla's mouth. Seeing the wound there, she furiously exclaimed, "Why is Peggy everywhere I look? You should have had Pierre hit her a few more times and knocked her teeth out. We'll see if she still talks so much then!""All these issues started with those few slaps. Besides, Peggy didn't lose out this time; she got over ten thousand dollars in medical expenses," Calla said, frowning."Peggy is just a nuisance, and she only causes you minor inconveniences. Faith is the dangerous one. You can't let your guard down with her!" Alicia reminded her."What else can I do? She uses underhanded methods." Calla groaned."So what's your plan?" Alicia asked as she cast Calla a worried look.Calla fiddled with her cutlery for a while. "I'm thinking of resigning," she said after some time."Resigning? That's your solution?" Alicia's eyes widened in disbelief."Well, what do you suggest I do? The rumors about Pierre and I are spreading like wildfire. I

Her voice was loud, not because she intended to shout, but because she was scared and couldn't hear herself. Everyone was surprised when they heard her words that echoed throughout the room.Pierre immediately stepped forward to support Calla, asking, "What's wrong?"Calla, who couldn't hear him, kept repeating the same thing. "I can't hear. I can't hear anything…"Pierre quickly said, "I'll take you to the hospital!"He then grabbed Calla and started to leave. As Calla couldn't hear what he said, she simply followed his lead, trusting that Pierre would help her."Pierre..." Wanda called out, frowning as she saw Pierre hurriedly leave with Calla. She was frustrated that he wasn't paying attention to her at all."I didn't even hit her that hard. How could she have lost her hearing?" Wanda muttered to herself after Pierre had left."I bet she's faking it. She's full of tricks!" Faith interjected at that moment.Hearing this, Wanda glanced at Faith and agreed to what the latter

Pierre didn't hold back this time. He swung at Mercer, landing a punch of his own. "She's not your property. What right do you have to rebuke me?"Having been hit, Mercer lost all control and started exchanging blows with Pierre.Seeing the chaotic scene, Calla grew anxious and frustrated. Although she couldn't hear what they were arguing about, she could guess it was related to her being slapped."Stop fighting!" Calla tried to shout.But they didn't listen. Their punches flew like raindrops, making it impossible for Calla to get close to them.In her distress, Calla felt her headache and tinnitus worsen before her vision blurred. She started to collapse."Ms. Sherman!" Natasha, quick to react, caught Calla just in time. "Stop fighting! Ms. Sherman has fainted!" Natasha yelled at the fighting duo as she struggled to support Calla.Hearing Natasha's words, Mercer and Pierre immediately stopped and rushed over."Calla, are you okay?" Both Mercer and Pierre spoke at the same time

Seeing this, Calla got out of bed and returned the dishes to the nurse station herself. When she returned, she found that Mercer was still standing there on the phone. He had been on the call for almost half an hour. He wasn't the type to enjoy long phone calls, so what was going on today?Suddenly, a thought popped into Calla's head: he was working over the phone.The clock on the wall showed that it was already well past 8:00 am.Normally, Mercer would be on his way to work by this time. He must have been giving instructions to his subordinates over the phone. Realizing this, Calla felt guilty for disrupting his regular work schedule.Finally, Mercer finished his call and hung up a few minutes later. Seeing Calla, he raised an eyebrow slightly. Calla quickly picked up her phone and typed, "Shouldn't you go to work?""I can work from here.""I can manage on my own. I can function as I normally do; I just can't hear.""But…""No buts. If... I mean, if you want, you can co
