Female Novel
Chapter 412
"Mr. Arnold."
Ethan looked up with a dark expression, "What?"
"There are some documents that require your signature."
"Leave them on the table for now."
Leyton placed the documents on the table and unintentionally saw Ethan's phone screen. He had
Madelyn's contact card open.
'Could Mr. Arnold be upset because of Ms. Jent? I don't think anyone else could make him as
emotional other than her. He could just call her if he misses her. There's no need for him to stay upset
with her for this long. Unless... the two of them had a fight,' thought Leyton.
"Anything else?" Ethan asked in a displeased tone.
Leyton replied, "I'm not sure if I should say it."
"Spit it out!"
"Mr. Arnold, the entire senior management is on the edge because of Ms. Jent. I don't think you should
bring your personal matters to work, sir," Leyton said calmly.
Ethan smirked. He gave Leyton a frosty and annoyed look, "Are you teaching me how to do my job?
I'm giving you your paycheck, not the other way around. If you're done, get out."
"My apologies, Mr. Arnold. But I must finish what I have to say for the company's sake. Ms. Jolie'snovelbin
existence is inevitably a ticking time bomb now that she's returned to Venturia. Ms. Jent doesn't know
about her for now. But when she does learn about you and Ms. Jolie's history and that you two haven't
completely cut ties, she'll have qualms about it, even if she seems indifferent. It's better for you to be
honest with her. Otherwise, it'll be too late when the time comes."
Ethan's gaze turned dark and menacing.
"I don't need you teaching me how to handle my personal affairs. Scram!" Ethan roared.
He grabbed the documents and hurled them at Leyton. However, Leyton did not dodge, causing the
papers to leave a small cut on his forehead.
This was the first time Ethan returned to his previous volatile and irritable state after a long time. It was
as if he had returned to the easily angered and self-destructive state he had in the past.
Leyton nodded and walked out, shutting the door behind him.
Ethan pressed a button and locked the door.
Just as Leyton was about to leave, a person with glasses and thick bangs clumsily bumped into him.
The person apologized profusely, "Sorry."
When she lifted her head and saw it was Leyton, she widened her eyes and lowered her head again,
"Sorry. I'm so sorry, Mr. Spear. I... I didn't see you."
Leyton simply replied coolly, "Mr. Arnold is in a bad mood right now. Don't go in there."
"But the manager said these financial reports are really important and require Mr. Arnold's signature
immediately."
"Are you new here?"
"Yep. My name's April May."
"What a unique name," Leyton chuckled. He continued, "Let me take a look at the report."
Leyton flipped through the report and frowned. Then, he looked at the girl in front of him.
"The report can wait till next week. If your manager says anything, ask him to come to me."
"Oh, okay!"
"I'm only helping you this time. Next time, be more careful. You won't always be this lucky."
April was confused. She did not know what he was referring to. However, she obediently took the
report back to the finance department.
8 o'clock quickly came, and there was only half an hour left before school ended.
