016 You Don't Like Me!

Alfin continued to assume as he wished and was not easily persuaded. Until finally decided to end Aimee's strange phone call immediately. Before he actually spent one-night talking nonsense with his secretary.

"Okay, Aimee. I can understand and get imagine your situation. Therefore, make yourself as comfortable as possible after I hang up the phone and go to sleep!" said Alfin slowly.

"Then, about your request not to get involved in the project. I'm so sorry. I couldn't fulfill it. And I couldn't comply with your demand. Do you know why?"

No need to wait for an answer. And decided to answer the question himself.

Alfin answered his own question with absolute certainty.

"I am your boss. Not the other way around, sweety! And you are still my secretary. And not the other way around! So, how can you order me in this position?" said Alfin very relaxed and bossy.

After he thought carefully, Alfin will reprimand Aimee hard tomorrow.

Wanted to see how Aimee's face at next day after tonight. And what kind of courage will she show on that day in front of him.

Alfin immediately turned off the call.

Leaving behind a vestige of astonishment and an attempt to excuse a drunk person.

Aimee's mind was still floating.

Sat at a small table in her room and sat on the thickly carpeted floor.

Aimee stared at the screen of her cellphone half-dreamingly.

Pursed her lips and huffed in annoyance.

"Tch! Who said that I was the boss and he was the secretary? He had to listen to me and obey my requests? Hello?? Is there one statement of me that says that?" Aimee grumbled unhappily.

Haha...

Aimee took a deep breath.

Still blinking her eyes and getting sleepy. Aimee fiddled with her phone a few times and scrolled the screen arbitrarily.

Aimee accidentally dialed a contact. And putting her head on the side of the phone.

A dial tone was heard.

Tutt Tutt...

The sound of the phone being picked up was also heard.

"Hello?"

Very long. Until maybe on the fourth ring. The phone call was just answered.

"What are you doing calling me at night?"

A very familiar cold voice.

Hadn't heard it in a long time. But it was also not that easy to forget.

Aimee, who could still hear Zack's voice from afar, put the phone back to her ear.

"What do you want from me?" Aimee asked coldly.

Frowned and didn't understand. Zack, who was just about to go to bed after washing his face and finishing some small work for tomorrow, put the phone away for a moment. Then put the phone back to the ear with a strange look.

"Hey! I'm asking you!" Aimee said angrily.

Zack began to feel Aimee losing her sanity.

But just when Zack wanted to retaliate, Aimee had already said two lines of sentences that were completely wrong.

"Why do you call me at night? You, suddenly miss me?" asked Aimee carelessly.

Showed funny and silly expressions, Zack asked seriously.

"Are you drunk?"

He seems just found out Aimee liked to drink liquor.

"I finally found out, you managed to get over your allergies?" added Zack.

Never tasted alcoholic drinks. It was not because she wanted to be a good girl. But Aimee just couldn't taste it.

Because of what?

If she drank that dangerous drink, Aimee's body would act strangely after a few hours.

A red rash appeared on some parts of the skin. And it will itch so much.

Alas, Zack who didn't want to know how Aimee would deal with her illness sighed.

"I don't want what your plans are. But, you contacted me first. So don't put on the useless words! Just enough to say what you want!?"

In the midst of drunkenness, Aimee raised one index finger.

Pointed to whichever side she wanted because no one else would see it.

"You, following my words on purpose?!"

Frowned and put on a stupid face. Zack felt that Aimee's current situation was more than chaotic.

"If there's nothing to do. I'll hang up the phone."

Annoyed at being rejected and being ignored after Alfin hung up the phone unilaterally. Even though Aimee's imagination and memory were still very chaotic at the moment.

Aimee sulked in disgust.

"You and he are the same!" Aimee cursed very angrily and frustratedly.

Zack continued to listen and hadn't turned off his phone.

"What do you mean?" Zack asked and felt that Aimee had lost her mind.

"I said, I don't want to get involved with that project. And I don't want to get involved with you anymore!"

Spoke very loud and sharp.

Zack could hear all those beliefs clearly.

Didn't respond and continued to listen.

"I… I want you to resign from that project!" Aimee shouted at a volume that was still normal because her energy and consciousness had decreased a lot.

Zack was still silent.

"Please look for another project. Then work there. Not at the company where I work and at Theodore's company. I don't want to see you again. Pass or talk to you again. Even talking about business. I really don't want to!"

Felt the same way. Zack certainly wasn't going to retreat by himself.

He leaned back on the bed and relaxed.

Zack replied to Aimee.

"There's no reason for me to back down," Zack explained logically.

"But you don't like me!" Aimee said with another madness.

Zack responded to her complaint.

"Then?"

Swallowed her saliva and continued,. Aimee scowled.

"Then, so am I. I don't like you and don't want to interact with you anymore."

There was a little pain in Zack's heart.

Didn't think the immediate rejection was more painful than the shadow.

"I did this partnership because I needed the benefits. Work for the welfare of the company and my family. So, on what basis should I listen to you?"

Silenced and digested Zack's words. Aimee felt herself being cruel and selfish.

Forced others to obey her and put her feelings first above all else.

"I.."

Aimee was at a loss for her words for a moment.

Felt inferior and can never make others proud of her.
