His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 28: Just Like a Scumbag Who Puts On His Clothes and Denies Everything
At the airport, when Ethan Sinclair was about to get out of the car, Kiana Sutton suddenly grabbed him.
Ethan Sinclair’s sharp eyes coldly glared at her.
Kiana Sutton’s heart fluttered, and she anxiously gestured, "Later on... should we still pretend to be a loving couple?"
"Why else would I bring you along?"
Ethan Sinclair’s tone was not pleasant, and Kiana Sutton didn’t know what had provoked him.
However, she was still quite happy. She thought that after that day, she wouldn’t have the chance to hold hands or hug Ethan Sinclair again, but she didn’t expect to pretend to be a loving couple once more today.
Kiana Sutton took a deep breath, walked up, and tightly held Ethan Sinclair’s hand.
Ethan Sinclair’s palm was slightly cool, and in this scorching summer, holding his hand felt like touching a perfectly chilled ice pack, very comfortable.
Suddenly, Kiana Sutton’s expression changed dramatically.
Oh no!
Today, Ethan Sinclair wasn’t wearing gloves!
She instinctively wanted to let go of Ethan Sinclair, but he held her even tighter.
Kiana Sutton was stunned for a moment, her heart racing. Ethan Sinclair... actually took the initiative to hold her hand.
The next second, she heard Ethan Sinclair’s cold and pleasant voice, "Smith, Daphne..."
Kiana Sutton: "..."
Alright, it turned out he saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith and held her hand tightly to avoid being caught.
After sending off Mr. and Mrs. Smith, as soon as they left the airport, Ethan Sinclair shook off Kiana Sutton’s hand, his indifferent and heartless demeanor resembling that of a scoundrel who denies all after getting what he wants.
Kiana Sutton looked at her empty hand, feeling a void in her heart.
The limited affection disappeared just like that.
Stella Lynch came to the airport today to pick someone up and thought she had seen wrong when she saw Kiana Sutton and Ethan Sinclair.
She hurriedly ran a few steps forward, and after confirming that the woman in Ethan Sinclair’s arms was indeed Kiana Sutton, she was so angry that her face turned black.
Didn’t Ethan Sinclair love her sister the most and not care for Kiana Sutton? Why was he holding Kiana Sutton?
Could he have had a change of heart?
Seeing Kiana Sutton look up at Ethan Sinclair with a sweet smile on her lips and love in her eyes, Stella Lynch became even angrier.
What a shameless bitch!
No!
Even if her sister doesn’t wake up in this lifetime, she won’t let Kiana Sutton hog Ethan Sinclair like that!
Stella Lynch rushed towards them, but by the time she had run through the crowd to where Ethan Sinclair and Kiana Sutton had been, they had already gone.
"Damn it!"
Stella Lynch stomped her foot in anger, swearing she wouldn’t let Kiana Sutton have it easy.
Upon learning that Kiana Sutton was sent to the planning department by Ethan Sinclair, Stella Lynch went to the Evercrest Group early Thursday morning.
Inside Ethan Sinclair’s office.
Stella Lynch looked at Ethan Sinclair, pleading with grievance, "Brother Ethan, could you please let me intern at Evercrest? I’m willing to do anything you ask."
Ethan Sinclair raised his eyes and glanced at Stella Lynch, noting that she looked nothing like her sister Kate Lynch.
"You should listen to Uncle Lynch."
Stella Lynch pouted, "I don’t want to. If I go to our own company, my dad will definitely give me some idle job, and others will just flatter me because I’m his daughter, not letting me do any real work. How will I learn anything that way?"
Seeing Ethan Sinclair remain indifferent, Stella Lynch played her ace, "Oh, if only my sister were awake, she’d definitely help me."
"Which department do you want to go to?"
Stella Lynch’s eyes lit up. Sure enough, mentioning her sister made Ethan Sinclair compromise.
It seemed Ethan Sinclair wasn’t devoid of feelings for her sister; it was Kiana Sutton’s shameless flirting that was the issue.
"I want to go to the planning department."
Within less than a week, the planning department welcomed two new employees.
On Stella Lynch’s first day, she wore a designer outfit and gave each member of the planning department an expensive perfume worth thousands, except for Kiana Sutton.
"Oh, I’m sorry, Miss Sutton. I didn’t know there was a new member in the planning department, so I didn’t prepare one for you. You’re not offended, are you?"
Though Stella Lynch was apologizing, the malicious smile on her face made it clear to Kiana Sutton that this was a deliberate slight.
Kiana Sutton hadn’t expected Stella Lynch to intern at Evercrest Group, or that she’d come to the planning department. It seemed she’d have to tread carefully from now on.
Kiana Sutton smiled slightly, indicating she didn’t mind, and continued her work.
Stella Lynch sneered coldly at Kiana Sutton. "Your good days are numbered, Kiana Sutton!"
Because she had a tight budget, Kiana Sutton brought homemade cookies as gifts for everyone, which seemed lowly compared to Stella Lynch’s luxury offerings.
Furthermore, Stella Lynch openly flaunted her status as Lynch Group’s heiress, leading everyone to curry favor with her.
To isolate Kiana Sutton, Stella Lynch spread rumors, making everyone sympathize with Stella Lynch and harbor disdain for Kiana Sutton.
"You can’t judge a book by its cover. Who would’ve thought Kiana Sutton’s father was the one responsible for turning Miss Lynch’s sister into a vegetable, and yet Miss Lynch speaks kindly of Kiana Sutton? She’s truly kind-hearted."
Stella Lynch sighed, expressing sadness and helplessness, "The bad person is Miss Sutton’s father, not Miss Sutton herself. No matter how much I hate her father, I can’t hate her."
"Miss Lynch, you’re too kind!"
"Yeah, that Kiana Sutton, after she caused President Sinclair’s beloved to suffer so much, how does she have the nerve to stay at Evercrest?"
"Some people are shameless, relying on their innocent looks to lure others."
Everyone’s gaze turned to Kiana Sutton’s desk, where a few male colleagues surrounded her, chatting and laughing brightly.
Seeing her plan succeed, Stella Lynch smiled faintly, "Not even to mention others, but even I’d feel the world is unfair to her just looking at that face of hers, no matter how wrong she is."
Stella Lynch purposely incited the female colleagues’ dislike towards Kiana Sutton, and sure enough, the entire afternoon, those female colleagues asked for Kiana Sutton’s help one after another.
"Miss Sutton, I have an important document here. Could you please make three copies and put it on my desk?"
"Miss Sutton, I’m so busy. Could you help me summarize these event materials?"
"Miss Sutton, I’m working late tonight. Could you buy me a cup of coffee?"
As a newcomer to the planning department, Kiana Sutton wanted to get along with everyone well, so she rarely refused requests.
However, when she returned with coffee, she found everyone else had gone home, while she still had piles of unfinished work.
It was then Kiana Sutton realized she’d been taken advantage of by the others.
"Miss Sutton, you haven’t left yet?"
Hearing a voice, Kiana Sutton turned, seeing a clean-cut and handsome young man walking towards her.
This was Evan Shepherd, a member of the planning department.
Kiana Sutton scribbled a few words on paper, "Mr. Shepherd, why haven’t you left yet?"
"I haven’t finished work yet, and please don’t call me Mr. Shepherd, just call me Evan."
Kiana Sutton nodded.
"Are you working late too?"
Kiana Sutton nodded again.
Evan Shepherd smiled, "Let’s work late together then. It’s nice to have some company."
Kiana Sutton had bought extra coffee, so she handed Evan Shepherd a cup.
Over the next few days, Kiana Sutton almost worked overtime every day, only getting home around 9 or 10 PM.
As a newcomer in the planning department, she was busier than the senior employees.
Meanwhile, Evan Shepherd regularly sought out Kiana Sutton, either having lunch together, asking her to teach him sign language, or staying late at the office, and their friendship grew rapidly.
Gradually, rumors about the two also began to spread.
