Sweet Love novel Chapter 35

Macy takes a deep breath, pretending to be calm, and slows down. When Yusef approaches, she speaks softly, "How are you, Mr. Yusef?"

She looks at the man, catching his eyes perfectly.

Obviously, she has just cried, as her eyes are still red and swollen.

He hesitates for a second, then says faintly, "Crying won't solve any problems. I will try my best to help with your father's affairs. For you, the most important thing now is to prepare for the South Sea Project. If everything goes well, I will help you meet with Earnest Downey."

Macy is so excited that she involuntarily grabs the corner of the man's clothes when hearing the words, "Really?"

Yusef nods, "Yup."

Macy suddenly feels that the big rock pressing on her becomes a little lighter, "Thank you, I will definitely work hard for the South Sea project!"

Yusef looks at the woman with red eyes and red cheeks, and suddenly feels hot. Sensing the corners of his clothes sink, he looks down, and sees the little hands grabbing his clothes by the little hands.

Macy notices Yusef's gaze, and then loosens her grip right away. She smiles embarrassingly, "Mr. Yusef, I think I ought to get back to work now."

In a hurry, Mary walks away, but her face burns awkwardly because of the little gesture just now.

...

Soon, people are about to get off work. Macy finishes working but suddenly realizes that she still has something to do, which is to go to Eliot's office and ask him to delete the video.

Macy checks the time again. It is still less than ten minutes after work, so currently most of the employees don’t leave. If she goes to Eliot's office, she will definitely be seen by a lot of people. Then there will be more gossip about her and Eliot…

After deliberation, she finally decides to wait twenty more minutes.

Macy just uses this moment to flip through some files about the South Sea Project. After a while, someone suddenly enters her room. It is Yusef.

She instantly stands up, "Mr. Penn, what is going on?"

Yusef glances at the files on her desktop, "You haven’t finished your work?"

"I..." Macy hesitates for a moment, taking a glance at the files as well, and quickly finds an excuse, "I’m going to read the South Sea project's materials again and leave later."

"Sounds good." Yusef looks usual and doesn’t talk much. Hearing Macy said that she would work overtime, he then leaves, and closes the door of her office.

Macy breathes a sigh of relief and rejoices that Yusef gets off work early today, otherwise if he sees that she goes to Elio’s office, it will be extremely hard for her to explain these things.

More than 20 minutes passes after the end of business hours, Macy packs up her stuffs, taking her bag and going directly to Eliot's office.

Eliot's office and Rayburn's office are on the same floor. Macy saw it by accident when she was passing by, so she knows where it is.

The light in the office is still on, and obviously someone is inside. Macy walks to the door, raising her hand and knocking on the door lightly, and then pushes in after hearing the reply from the inside.

Eliot is sitting in an office chair, holding a glass of red wine, and looking at the scenery outside the window leisurely.

He hears the door opening, turns the chair, and when he sees Macy standing at the door, his face is slightly cold, "I have been waiting for you for more than 20 minutes."

Macy deliberately keeps the door open, and she takes a few steps forward, as if she hasn't heard what Eliot said just now, "Eliot, please delete the video."

Eliot glances at Macy, who looks very serious, with a smile at the corner of her mouth. "Macy, if someone wants to ask for help, do you think people would help you depends on this kind of attitude?"

Macy clenches her fist secretly, "Eliot, what do you want?"

She and Eliot had a fruitless relationship, while there is no need to catch each other's tripping deliberately. However, Eliot just refuses to make things easy...

Eliot shakes the wine glass in his hand, takes a sip, then looks at her, "Macy, give me a smile."

Smile at him? What does he think of her!

Macy bits her lip, turns around and walks directly outside.

She has nothing now, but she isn’t humble enough to smile at everyone!

"Macy!" Eliot puts down the wine glass abruptly, standing up, "If you dare to take a half step out of the office, I will immediately send the video to the major media in City Marea, and tomorrow I can have the words "Macy Downey’s Apology" hit the headlines!"

Macy pauses suddenly, her eyes flushing, "Eliot, what are you trying to do! Do you think I am not downhearted enough now?"

In any case, Eliot is her ex-boyfriend. She thought he would be more special and understand her better, but unexpectedly, he hates her more than everyone else!

Eliot looks at Macy, whose tears are flashing, and he suddenly feels nervous, "As long as you leave the Penn’s and Yusef, I will delete the video immediately."

"Impossible!" Macy refuses without thinking twice.

Her relationship with Yusef can't be broken even if she leaves the Penn’s. From the day she hands herself over to him, their fates have intertwined with each other’s.

What's more, she also counts on Yusef to help her take care of her father... Everything about her now hasn't gotten worse because of Yusef.

Eliot becomes angry, and her voice suddenly increases, "Macy, you don't know Yusef at all! Let’s see, one day you will be completely injured by him!"

Macy sneers, "Injure? At least he can protect me now, even if I will be injured. I don’t care!"

She stares at Eliot, " I don’t know what your purpose is, but I will never agree to this request. If you insist on sending the video out, I can’t stop it. However, from now on, we’ll be strangers. That’s all!"

After leaving these words, Macy walks out of the office.

When Eliot hears "stranger", his heart contracts sharply, and a wave of irritation surges into his heart. He chases after her involuntarily.

Macy just walks into the elevator and presses the button. Soon Eliot runs quickly and stretches out his hand to block the slowly merged elevator doors.

The elevator doors parts immediately, Eliot enters the elevator, staring at Macy, suppressing his anger, "Macy, I will delete the video!"

He takes out the phone from the suit, opens the album, finds the video, and deletes it directly in front of Macy.

Watching his series of actions, Macy sighs in secret.

But the next second, Eliot suddenly approaches her, "But today, you need to have dinner with me!"
