All Chapters of Be Gentle With Me, Mr. CEO: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

Half an hour later, Calla sat by the window in Coastal Coffee. As she looked up, she saw Natasha, dressed in an emerald green dress, walking toward her with a smile."Calla, you're still the same as ever," Natasha said, taking a seat across from her.Calla glanced at the radiant Natasha and smiled. "You're looking more and more stunning."Natasha touched her cheek, a slight blush creeping up. "I'm so grateful you took a chance on me back then. And Mr. Garland's guidance was invaluable. I can't thank you both enough for helping me get to where I am today.""You work hard, and you're smart. Given time, you were bound to achieve great things," Calla said sincerely.Natasha had been making light conversation all the while. However, the mood shifted when she paused and lowered her gaze, fiddling with her coffee cup."Calla, I'm sorry… but someone else is here to meet you."Hearing this, Calla frowned, not quite understanding what Natasha meant.The next moment, Natasha turned arou

Hearing such a familiar voice and way of speaking, Calla was startled and looked up to see the woman.When she saw who it was, Calla frowned, questioning her bad luck as she always seemed to be bumping into this person.The other person seemed surprised to see Calla too, but she quickly sneered. "Well, well, look who it is! Couldn't manage to stay out of sight, could you? This dress I'm wearing is a brand new Chanel that cost 12 thousand dollars. Are you going to pay me back with cash or credit?"Seeing Peggy's arrogant demeanor with her chin up, Calla coldly said, "You must be blind as a bat to not see me coming. This isn't entirely my fault. At most, I'll pay for your dry cleaning.""What? Pay for dry cleaning? You bumped into me, didn't you? You should take full responsibility for this!" Peggy was throwing a fit, upset over her ruined designer dress. Seeing it was Calla only fueled her rage. Despite their draw last time, Peggy still felt humiliated.Calla couldn't be bothered t

Peggy's words made the onlookers point fingers at Calla.Pierre was incensed by this. Pointing an accusing finger at Peggy, he demanded, "Peggy, you need to apologize to Calla for that!""Why should I? I know you're a skilled lawyer, Mr. Garland. Go ahead and take me to court. I'd love to see how you justify your actions for a woman who's been divorced!" Peggy was fearless, not intimidated by Pierre at all."I refuse to stoop to your level. A lawsuit with you would be beneath me as a lawyer. I've never struck a woman, but I'm making an exception for you today." Seething with anger, Pierre stepped forward to hit Peggy.Seeing this, Calla quickly held him back. "Mr. Garland, calm down!"Pierre was a top lawyer in Riverford. If word got out that he had hit a woman in public, it would be a serious blow to his reputation.When Peggy saw Pierre was getting serious, she backed off a couple of steps and yelled, "He's hitting me! A lawyer is attacking me!"In no time, the cafe manager an

Zayden glanced at his gold watch and then smiled at Pierre. "Sorry, we bought tickets for the movie that starts in half an hour. Next time, let's play golf together and catch up!""Sure." Pierre nodded as he waved them off."Help yourselves to anything, it's on me." Zayden smiled at Calla, then wrapped his arm around Peggy's waist and left.Pierre chuckled as he watched them walk away. "That idiot's standards have sunk to a new low!"Calla frowned and asked, "Who is he?""My childhood friend. He studied abroad in Morvenia and comes from a wealthy family. They own many hotels and restaurants in Riverford. Your enemy has hit the jackpot this time." Pierre couldn't help but laugh at the thought."Well, she's got skills," Calla muttered, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over her."What's wrong?" Noticing Calla was unsteady on her feet, Pierre rushed to her side and supported her."It's nothing..." Calla had barely managed to assure Pierre before her eyes rolled back, and she collap

Pierre looked at Calla with a helpless expression. "I was afraid that if I moved, it would interrupt your crying," he said.Hearing this, Calla burst into laughter while wiping her tears. "Get out of here!" Calla playfully pushed Pierre."I'm relieved to see you smile." Pierre then stood up and stretched his waist and legs. "My legs were so numb just now!"Watching Pierre try his best to cheer her up, Calla's heart ached with sorrow. If she had met Pierre first, would she have fallen in love with him? Alas, the world offered no room for "what if". If it did, then worries would cease to exist.Afterward, Calla stayed in the hospital for several more days. Pierre hired a caregiver to take care of her when he wasn't around. One day, Calla was lying on the hospital bed in her patient gown as usual. Pierre had just returned from court and was sitting by the bed, peeling an apple for her. "When can I be discharged?" Calla was on the verge of losing her mind, cooped up in that ward.
