Chapter 69 Deliberately Bumped into Her
Charlie stopped in his tracks. “What?”
“It seems that someone misunderstood you because of me that day. If there are any bad rumors, I hope you don’t take it to heart.” Evelyn was a little embarrassed to say this in front of
him.
However, Charlie seemed much more generous. “It’s fine. If you want to fight back against these rumors, then work hard to become stronger.”
With a sparkle in her eyes, she said, “Thank you, Lawyer Athena.”
Charlie looked at the woman’s smiling face. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. When she smiled, her shallow dimples were shown. It was probably the first time he had seen her smile so brightly since he came into contact with her a few times.
She was like a branch soaked in spring rain, which made people feel warm in their hearts.
“Lawyer Athena?”
Charlie came back to his senses and looked away from her face. He clenched his right hand into a fist and coughed lightly. “Don’t mention it. Get back to work.”
touched her nose, and turned to leave in confus
However, she didn’t know that all of this had been seen by Lisha, who was hiding in the corner behind her.
Evelyn was busy the whole morning. It was lunchtime now. Huston was not at the office, and she was unsure of his whereabouts. Finally, she did not need to rush her eating to accompany him.
She and Ada went to the cafe downstairs to have a good time after having lunch together.
The two of them stood at the bar counter and waited. When the coffee was finally ready, the waiter handed it over. Before Evelyn could hold the cup steadily, a huge force suddenly came from behind her and happened to push her arm.
She was caught off guard. The coffee in her hand suddenly spilled and splashed on the ground and the back of her hand.
“Ah!” She couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
Ada, who was standing by the side, was shocked. She suddenly took a step forward and looked at the back of Evelyn’s burning hand. “Are you all right?”
Evelyn’s white and tender skin immediately turned red because of the high temperature. And the place where it was burned was painful. She had to apply some ointment later, otherwise, it would definitely blister.
Ada turned around and looked at the person behind her. person looked a little familiar. When she took a closer look, she found that it turned out to be a colleague from the same company. It was just that their positions were different and they usually didn’t contact each other. She swallowed the words she wanted to say before and said politely, “Why don’t you be cautious? Only the two of us were standing in front of you, but you even bumped into her.”
She thought that the person would at least apologize, but Lisha didn’t feel guilty at all. Lisha glanced at the back of Evelyn’s hand and said, “Sorry, I didn’t see you.”

Ada was furious. “You can’t even see us! What are you looking
at?”
“Oh, I didn’t do it on purpose. You don’t have to be so dramatic.” Ada glanced at the spilled coffee. “At worst, I’ll buy you another cup.”
Ada was shocked by her self-righteous attitude. “It’s not because of that cup of coffee. How can you be so rude when you bump into someone?”
“I didn’t bump into you. Why are you so angry?” After saying that, Lisha glanced at Evelyn and muttered, “You just want to curry favor with her…”
Before Ada lost her temper, Evelyn, who had been silent, reached out to stop her. Evelyn looked at Lisha and asked, “Did you bump into me on purpose?”
tone that made people dare
Lisha panicked for a few seconds, but she quickly calmed down. “How is that possible? I really didn’t see you.”
“Is that so?” Evelyn didn’t continue this topic. Instead, she suddenly asked, “What’s your name?”
Lisha was a little confused, but she still introduced herself. “My name is Lisha Gates.”
She thought that Evelyn would argue with her, and she even thought of a way to fight back. But Evelyn didn’t seem to have any reaction at all. Could it be that Evelyn saw through that she deliberately bumped into Evelyn, so Evelyn asked her for her name to take revenge?
She remembered the rumors in the company. If Evelyn really had a backer, would Evelyn make things difficult for her because of this?
Lisha suddenly regretted being so impulsive. But Evelyn didn’t say anything. Evelyn just said, “I understand.” Then she turned around and left.
