Chapter 28
The knocking sound brought Sally back from her thoughts. She wiped away her tears, stood up, and once again became the strong person with a hardened shell.
“Come in.”
Kim entered the room, holding some documents. “Teacher Join, Alex just brought these cases. Mr. Logan wants you to…‘ handle them.”
Kim carefully placed a stack of documents on the desk.
“I understand,” Sally said, looking at the thick stack of papers with a calm expression.
She wasn’t surprised by Howard’s actions.
In his current state of anger, how could he easily let her off?
“Well… well… Teacher Join, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave
first.”
“Okay!” Sally nodded.
Kim turned to leave but couldn’t help but glance back at Sally.
Sally had been keeping her head down, focused on her work, making it impossible to discern any expression on her face.
With the stack of documents in front of her, Sally quickly skimmed through them. These were cases that needed to be dealt with soon.

After making a call to Scarlet, Sally immersed herself in her
work.
Only work could make her forget the unpleasant things and prevent her from dwelling on idle thoughts.
Unconsciously, the sky outside had already turned dark.
Everyone in the law firm had already left. Except for Sally’s office where the lights were still on, as well as the boss’s office.
Finishing the last document, Sally stretched and checked the time, surprised. “It’s already eight o’clock.”
She needed to go home. If she didn’t, Mia and Kara would stay awake, waiting for her.
After tidying up, Sally opened the office door, only to see that the boss’s office still had its lights on. She paused for a
moment.
Howard hadn’t left yet?
Sally’s thoughts were brought back as she took big strides
away.
Even if she went to greet him now, he probably wouldn’t want to acknowledge her.
“Sally!”
Sally, who had just come out of the office, saw Jeremy standing by the car waving at her.

“Jeremy, why are you here?”

Jeremy’s mouth curved into an indulgent smile as he said, “Scarlet said you were working overtime, so I came.”
“Well…”
Sally was about to speak when Jeremy looked at her forehead, his expression darkened, and he nervously asked, “What happened to your face?”
“It’s nothing, just accidentally bumped it.” Sally touched her forehead, avoiding eye contact.
Jeremy frowned, his eyes filled with worry and concern. “Can a bump on the forehead cause it to be like that? Besides, every time you lie, your eyes avoid contact.”
“I’m really fine, let’s go.” Sally adopted a nonchalant attitude and pulled Jeremy into the car.
Seeing her like this, Jeremy didn’t ask further, but he felt deeply disappointed.
No matter what he did, Sally always treated him as an
outsider.
Upstairs, Howard stood by the window, watching the scene. below. Sinister eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, emitting a chilling aura.
“Alex, find out who that man is for me.”
“Yes!” Alex replied nervously from the side.
