Chapter 331

"Hello?" Miriam said just one word into the phone. But when she looked down, the call had already been disconnected, leaving her frustrated. She tossed her phone onto her desk, feeling disappointment and irritation with nowhere to direct her feelings.A little over a month ago, after a long period of no contact whatsoever, Pierre reached out to her. What's more, he even personally came to Greendale to invite her to dinner. Miriam dressed up and happily went to the appointment, only to find out that Pierre's purpose for inviting her out was to ask her to look after Calla, who had just successfully landed a job at her accounting firm.At that moment, Miriam felt like a herd of wild horses were running through her mind. However, she couldn't refuse Pierre's request, as that would make her seem too petty. Besides, she was also curious to know what kind of woman could make Pierre give up on Wanda.In reality, what Pierre asked for wasn't much. He just wanted Miriam to keep him update

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice suddenly came from beside her. Calla turned her head and saw Pierre sitting by her bedside, smiling."What... are you doing here?" Calla struggled to sit up.Pierre quickly helped her raise the bed and placed a pillow behind her back."You had a high fever and were convulsing. It's a good thing I got here early; otherwise, it could have been much worse." Pierre sighed as he sat down.Hearing this, Calla lowered her head and tried to recall the earlier incident. She remembered trembling from a high fever. She had also taken some fever-reducing medicine. However, she couldn't remember what happened after that. It seemed she had passed out from the fever.Looking up at Pierre, who had once again saved her, she thought about how she might not have made it this time if it weren't for him. Why was it that she and Pierre seemed to cross paths every time? No matter how much she tried to avoid him, he always appeared just when she needed help. Could he

Miriam responded cheerfully, "I'll give you three days off. Take care of yourself and come back to work only when you're fully recovered. Otherwise, someone might accuse me of being a capitalist who exploits you."As she said this, Miriam glanced sideways at Pierre."I never said that," Pierre quickly replied.Miriam teased him, "You may not have said it, but didn't you call me to complain that the work I assigned Calla was too exhausting and that I worked her to the point of getting sick?""You took that joke seriously?" Feeling a bit awkward at being called out, Pierre reached up to fiddle with his tie."When have I ever not taken your words seriously, Mr. Lawyer?" Miriam laughed.Calla noticed the light-hearted banter between Pierre and Miriam and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know each other?""We—" Pierre began to say."Know each other?" Miriam cut him off, quickly interjecting. "We're old friends! Right, Mr. Garland?" She looked at Pierre, a slight smile playing on her l

Seeing that he had been exposed, Pierre flashed an awkward smile. "Your door was just really sturdy." He could still joke around even in this situation.Calla smiled as she replied, "You should get your leg checked out, just to make sure there's no serious injury.""No need. I'm strong as an ox, you see. A few days of rest and I'll be fine," Pierre responded nonchalantly.Seeing his attitude, Calla didn't press the matter further.Still puzzled, Calla asked after a moment, "So you and Ms. Johanson are that close? Is she the friend who owns the accounting firm you mentioned before?"Pierre paused for a moment before admitting, "Yes, she is."Hearing this, Calla couldn't help but think how small the world was. She had been determined not to rely on his connections for a job, yet the position she had worked so hard to secure turned out to be the very one he had tried to arrange for her."Was it Ms. Johanson who told you I had a severe cold?" Calla continued, realizing he couldn't h

Knowing that further explanations would be unnecessary, Pierre grinned. "The watch... I just bought it along with the phone."Calla couldn't help but smile. She was holding back from laughing. The next moment, she insisted, "I've never worn such an expensive watch before. Once I'm discharged, I must return it to you. As for the phone… I've already used it. I'll transfer the money to you, though!"Pierre was well aware of Calla's personality and knew she wasn't joking, so he nodded in agreement. "I'll take the watch back, but please don't send money for the phone. Just do me a favor. Don't make me look bad, okay?" At this point, Pierre looked a little awkward. Calla started to feel a bit uneasy herself. However, she didn't want to compromise her principles."How can I just accept something worth thousands from you? There's a saying that one shouldn't take something for nothing. You understand that, right?" Calla truly felt she had no reason to accept his gifts."You could always r

After Calla finally recovered, she threw herself back into her busy work routine. Just like that, two months quickly went by.With the arrival of early summer, the men started wearing short-sleeved shirts, while the women donned light dresses.One afternoon, just before the end of the workday, Calla received a message on WhatsApp."Ms. Sherman, would you be available for dinner tonight?" The message was from Pierre. Seeing it, Calla furrowed her brows slightly.Since that day, he had seldom sought her out. Occasionally, he would bring some local specialties from Riverford when he visited Greendale. They had even shared a meal or two. And every ten days or so, he would send her a message on WhatsApp, mostly wishing her well on holidays or reminding her to take care of herself, just like any ordinary friend.Calla couldn't find a reason to refuse these gestures. After all, Pierre seemed like a good choice for a friend.She stared at the message for a few seconds before replying

"I wear a size L," Pierre replied with a slight smile. Calla was surprised, as she had expected him to at least pretend to refuse her offer."Alright, I'll send you some pictures on WhatsApp so you can choose the style," Calla said.In truth, she appreciated straightforward people. She found it tiresome when people were overly modest or hesitant."Then, I'll thank you in advance," Pierre responded generously.Calla smiled, and the two continued eating and chatting away.They talked about everything under the sun. To her surprise, Calla found herself enjoying the conversation with Pierre. In this city, there hadn't been anyone she could talk to so openly and comfortably.Her daily life was usually filled with busy, monotonous work, followed by cooking, eating, and sleeping alone. Life felt dull but peaceful, something that kept her calm and allowed her to avoid feeling overly anxious. She wanted to continue living this way for as long as possible.At around 9:00 pm, Pierre's Land

Still fuming, Calla hurried upstairs, pulled out her keys, and swiftly opened the door, intending to shut it as soon as she was inside. But just as she was about to close the door, the man's foot wedged its way in. Seeing that he was forcing his way in, Calla pressed against the door with all her might, trying to push him out.However, she underestimated his strength. With one powerful shove, Mercer forced the door open, sending Calla stumbling backward.Seeing him invade her space, Calla mustered her courage and shouted, "What do you want? If you don't leave, I'll scream!"Mercer calmly closed the door behind him, plunging the room into darkness. Calla was suddenly gripped by fear, and she took two steps back."Get out now! You're not welcome here! Do you hear me?" Calla's voice trembled with desperation.But the dark figure ignored her words completely.In the next moment, she saw the shadow lunging toward her. She turned and bolted further into the apartment, shrieking, "H

"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Calla started to struggle. "Do you hear me?"She was pinned down by his iron grip. Facing him, she felt both mortified and furious because she was wearing a dress. "Mercer, you bastard, let go of me!" Calla was on the verge of breaking down.She couldn't take this kind of treatment from him. Just when she had managed to heal from the pain in her heart, why did he have to show up again? And now, without any explanation, he was trying to do the unthinkable. Just what did he take her for?Humiliated and furious, she wanted to fight back, but she didn't even have the chance. Her hands were pinned above her head, leaving her helpless and at his mercy."Mercer, you bastard! You'll die a miserable death. You're scum! I hate you! I'll hate you for the rest of my life!" Calla cried out in a voice full of anger and pain.Minutes passed, and her throat became hoarse. Finally, she gave up, her limbs going limp, and only her clear tears flowed down her cheek

The next day, Calla went to work with dark circles under her eyes."Didn't sleep well last night, Calla? Those dark circles aren't a joke." During a lull at work, Avery slid her chair over to Calla.Calla was still caught up in the nightmare from the previous day and was distracted at work today. Hearing her colleague, Avery's comment, she quickly touched her face and forced a smile. "I had a bout of insomnia last night.""You don't have a boyfriend, so why would you have insomnia?" The teasing was evident in Avery's smile."I couldn't sleep because I was worried about not having a boyfriend, okay?" Calla could only joke along with her.Avery propped her chin on her hand and glanced at the ceiling. She then looked around at the busy office, before leaning closer to Calla and whispering, "Mr. Garland from Riverford seems to be very attentive to you. He comes to see you often and even sends you things. I think he's interested in you!"Indeed, Pierre had picked her up twice at the c
