The coffee was a little cold at this moment.
Moreover, she didn’t know if Douglas did it on purpose. Her cup of coffee had no milk or sugar. It was so bitter that she felt like her tongue was getting knotted.
Her face crumpled and she looked piteously at Douglas and would have rushed at him and strangled him if she could.
This man was clearly taking revenge on her.
Douglas curled the corners of his mouth, looked at her provocatively, and said, “It’s terrible? I think so too.”
Martha became even more speechless.
Her eyes fell on Douglas’ cup of coffee.
Although he had finished drinking it, judging from the residue, it should be exactly the same as hers.
Martha felt much better now.
However, the next second, Martha’s mood became complicated again.
Douglas was a picky man, which was almost outrageous.
If she could, she didn’t want to meddle in his business at all in terms of taste.
However, in the past seven years, Martha had been “tortured” by Douglas in every aspect of this matter.
Of course, she had also been trained because of this. As long as Douglas looked at her, she will know that there was something wrong with the stuff in his mouth.
Taking coffee for example, Douglas must drink sweet, double milk, and double sugar coffee.
Now Douglas was actually drinking the same flavor of coffee as her, which made her very shocked.
And an indescribable feeling came to her heart.
After a while, Martha said, “Mr. Torres, it turns out that you are not completely incapable of drinking bitter coffee.”
He did drink it up just now.
Douglas said, “I can drink what other people can drink, but I don’t want to.”
Well, that was all he could say.
Martha gulped down a whole cup of coffee and put the cup on the table.
She looked at Douglas and said, “Just tell me what you want from me.”
She can’t stand the awkward atmosphere now.
If she continued to stay in the same space with Douglas, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back.
Douglas laughed angrily at her attitude.
He had a temper and the gaze he looked at Martha became much colder.
It was not the first time Martha had looked at him like this. On the contrary, there had been many times in the past seven years when he was like this.
It was just that most of the time it was a work problem that got Douglas to look at her that way.
In the first two years, there were more.
Later, there will be no mistakes in her work, and there will be no more such gazes.
Obviously, now Douglas looked at her like this. It was not because there was a problem with her work, but because he simply had problems with her.
Martha bit her lip, but said nothing.
She had already made up her mind, so no matter what she will face next, she will not speak.
Douglas saw her attitude.
He said, “Do you really want to resign?”
Martha still didn’t speak, but raised her eyes and looked at Douglas. Her eyes had already expressed her meaning clearly.
Douglas said, “In the past seven years, have I treated you badly? The company has treated you badly?”
As Martha heard him mention this again, she immediately said, “You don’t need to say that. You know, I have never thought of it like this before, and it will only make me feel very sad. I will only think I’m not good enough to make you misunderstand me.”
Douglas said, “Sad? Oh, I don’t understand. What is your sadness?”
When Martha heard him say this, she knew that he was angry, and what she said at this time was meaningless.
Only by letting Douglas vent can the problem be solved.
However, it was obvious that Douglas’ anger was very terrible this time, and for a while, Martha didn’t know how to subside it.
Martha was silent for a long time before saying, “Why don’t you tell me how you want me to make up for it.”
She didn’t have much, and if something had to be done to make Douglas happy, it wasn’t impossible.
Martha quickly calculated in her mind the chips she had, which could make up for Douglas’ loss after losing his right-hand secretary.
Thinking about her ability to work, if she left Torres Group, she must go to another company. Whether she did so or not, it would be a kind of harm to Douglas.
Sending his capable employee to the opposite company was a very frustrating thing.
When Martha thought about it, she felt that it was unkind of her to do so.
However, she really couldn’t continue to be by Douglas’ side as if nothing had happened.
However, even though she was ready to gamble and go bankrupt, Douglas’ complexion still didn’t improve at all.
He just looked at Martha like this, and his face became even more gloomy.
Martha was a little scared, and if the stalemate continued, it would not solve any problems, and would only make the situation worse.
Taking a deep breath, Martha said, “It doesn’t make any sense for us to be in such a stalemate. There has to be someone who compromises.”
“So you’re just assuming I’m the one to compromise, right?” Douglas said.
Martha choked, but couldn’t say anything to rebut it for a long time.
She didn’t want this, but in fact, there was only this way.
Douglas also knew that there was nothing he could do about it when this woman was stubborn.
Otherwise, she would not have persisted under such high pressure for seven years, so that he would never be able to pick out any mistakes.
However, it was because of this that Douglas would not let her go even more.
There was absolutely no such possibility.
Douglas said, “I can make it clearer, Martha. I don’t care what purpose you have to work with me for seven years. You don’t want me to know, so I don’t need to get to the bottom of it, but, it is impossible for you to leave me.”
Martha’s fingers tightened suddenly, and she felt very turbulent.
Although she knew very well that what Douglas said was not to let her leave the company, it made her think of something else.
For a moment, Martha was a little overwhelmed.
She bit her lips tightly, not letting herself make any strange noises.
Douglas said, “Martha, don’t wear my heart out.”
Martha looked at Douglas in astonishment and didn’t understand. These words sounded too ambiguous.
She couldn’t help herself not to think about it.
However, there was no change in the expression on Douglas’ face, and she couldn’t tell from what angle he said this.
Martha was anxious, and when she didn’t see the expression she wanted to see, she calmed down in an instant, and her face turned pale.
Sure enough, she shouldn’t think about it.
Martha mocked herself fiercely from the bottom of her heart: Martha, don’t you know what you are like?
What are you wishing for?
Martha couldn’t resist Douglas. After a long silence, she said, “I’m going to take a long vacation.”
He won’t let her resign, then he should give her a long vacation.
“Okay.” Douglas answered without thinking twice.
Martha was thinking, if she didn’t take a day off, he probably wouldn’t force herself to come back to work.
However, before she could start to feel complacent, she heard Douglas say, “There is one condition.”
“What?” Martha tensed up instantly, and the hairs on her whole body stood on end.
She was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe, feeling like the world was about to collapse.
Douglas’s condition must be difficult for her to fulfill.
Sure enough, the next second, Martha heard Douglas say, “You live here.”
“What?” Martha’s eyes widened. She was unable to believe what she had heard.
Douglas stood up and said, “You heard me right. I can let you not to go to work in the company, but you have to live here.”
“What do you mean?” Martha jumped up from the sofa, looked at Douglas in astonishment, and said,
“Are you trying to imprison me?”
“No need to say that. I don’t have to do this,” Douglas said.
