Chapter 13
Without much thought, Sydnee made a pot of ginseng chicken soup and brought it to Howell.
He took only a bite, and a slightly greasy taste rushed into his stomach, instantly killing his appetite and making him feel slightly nauseous.
“The taste was off.”
Howell had a calm face and with a snap, he directly knocked over the entire bowl
The butler and Sydnee looked at each other, both with a face full of
embarrassment.
“Mr. Swanson, this was already what I did following Ms. Atkinson’s tutorial. I really tried my best.”
Sydnee trembled as she spoke, afraid of losing this job.
Howell walked into the kitchen with a furrowed brow and proceeded to follow the steps that Faye had taught him, one by one, based on his
memory.
“No! No! None of these are correct!”
He dropped one bowl after another, and the growing frustration in his mind became more and more apparent.
The process was exactly the same, but the taste of the chicken soup made. was just not right.
Is it just because Faye is not here?
Howell became angrier and angrier, and suddenly smashed the entire kitchen clean.
“Faye had no impact on me! I only loved Alia!”
He had red eyes and repeatedly tried to convince himself.
After a long time, he drove directly to the company to numb himself and completed all the piled–up work from the past few days.
For several days in a row. Howell wished he could live at the company.
Faye resigned, and the atmosphere in the company has subtly changed from before.
Various projects at work were not going well, and the cooperation among the employees was not as harmonious as before. Friction and arguments were becoming more frequent.
Along with it. Howell’s condition also worsened over time.
Snap!
In the meeting room. Howell had a stern face and forcefully threw a proposal on the table.
Is this the attitude you had towards this national park collaboration. project? If the planning proposal submitted next time is still at this level, then none of you will be needed to work anymore!
“This bid deviates from the plan we agreed upon. How did you all verify it? Making such basic mistakes, I need to seriously consider your capabilities!”
“Who was responsible for the cooperation negotiation and follow–up of this project?”
The entire conference room was silent, so quiet that you could hear the
sound of a pin dropping on the floor.
Almost every project leader and department head were criticized.
Everyone wished they could bury their heads in the ground, feeling that the brief meeting was particularly torturous.
After an unknown amount of time. Howell finally shouted to dismiss the meeting.
Everyone, as if liberated, quickly fled from the conference room.
Howell took a deep breath and weakly leaned back on the seat back.
Fave left, and his life changed a lot.
The person who used to work side by side with him in the company, talking about everything, is gone. Everyone is now trembling in front of him, and the efficiency of completing tasks is not as good as before.
Even when I returned home, the scene was the same.
Even though there were still servants at home, it was still extremely quiet.
Even the weather has been gloomy for many days.
Years ago, he had a disability in both legs. Although Faye found a renowned doctor to help treat it, he was never the same as before.
The weather was still painful even though it was not good.
And these days, the pain in my legs was particularly noticeable and unbearable.
“Um…”
Howell couldn’t bear it any longer and let his legs hang down, but it didn’t provide any relief from the pain.
“Faye…”
He murmured her name weakly and his longing for her grew stronger and stronger in his heart.
He even remembered the feeling of her soft and warm hands massaging acupuncture on his legs.
But now, she has left and doesn’t want him anymore.
Everything around him was in chaos, and all aspects were causing him great distress.
The depression that was once pacified by Faye has now resurfaced.
Until this moment. Howell only realized clearly that it was not Faye who couldn’t live without him, but he who couldn’t live without Faye.
After she was gone, his life seemed completely out of order, everything was not right.
