Chapter 1549 Aaron snorted and turned to look at Annie. "Girls shouldn't be too soft, Annie. Treat him the sway he was prepared to treat you earlier." His implication was clear as he glanced at the glass of orange juice in Annie's hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnnie understood right away. She had grown fed up with Gibby and no longer cared about maintaining her ladylike image. After removing the straw from her glass, she held it up and splashed it on Gibby's face.
Gibby barely had tto react when the sticky juice drenched the most expensive shirt in his wardrobe. He specifically chose that for the blind date.
Furious, his temper flared, and he raised his hand. "You... You b-" Aaron cleared his throat lightly. "Remember. All our employees must respect women." Realizing that acting on his anger could jeopardize his chance to secure a decent job at a big company, Gibby froze mid-sentence and stopped short of uttering the B-word. He mustered an ugly smile and said, "I'll happily go through this if it helps ease your anger, Miss Annie." He then turned to Aaron and asked, "Mister Aaron, will this suffice to prove that | respect women?" Aaron could not be bothered to have him linger around any longer. "You may go." Gibby sought to confirm if he was still accepted for the job. "Does that mean | can clock into my first day of work at Newmoon Group tomorrow?" "Yes." Aaron nodded.
Gibby smiled in relief and glared at Annie briefly. "I'll excuse myself now, Mister Aaron." When Gibby left, Annie frowned and confronted Aaron. i x 1 would you want someone like him at the company? Isn't it obvious he doesn't genuinely respect women?" A hint of amusement graced Aaron's eyes. "I'm aware of that." "Then why did you allow him to clock in for work tomorrow?" Annie asked in confusion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAaron looked at her pissed-off expression. "He bullied you. Drenching him in a glass of orange juice isn't enough.
I'll have the opportunity to deal with him properly once he's at the company." Annie went blank for a moment and hesitated to look at Aaron. She averted her gaze awkwardly and said, "All he did was say sunpleasant things. | wouldn't go so far as to say he bullied me. And... Well..." Aaron leaned closer and whispered, "And what?" He was so near that his warm breath tickled her ear and made her blush.
"And it has nothing to do with you in the first place!" Annie avoided his gaze as her face grew even redder.
Unexpectedly, Aaron rested his chin on her shoulder. His tone turned somewhat suggestive as he said. "Who says it has nothing to do with me? It's not okay for anyone to bully you. | can't stand it, and | won't allow it." The weight on her shoulder surprised her, prompting her to exclaim, "Ah! Y -Y-You're too close! Sit over there! It's makinguncomfortable!" Aaron raised his chin knowingly and smiled faintly. "You're a little warm even though the restaurant has air- conditioning. Why is that? Do you feel warm because I'm too close to you?" he asked teasingly.
Annie's face grew even redder. She turned away unhappily and said, "Cut it out, or I'll get mad at you!"
