Revenge After rebirth novel Chapter 24

Gordan didn't say anything and simply pointed her toward a spot nearby. Emily placed the basket down before wiping away the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.

"It's late, Gordon. Let's head back together later."

"We aren't heading in the same direction," he said coldly.

Emily seemed to be completely unaffected by his cold tone. She stepped forward hesitantly and said, "There's something else I would like to ask you. I asked Mayra to talk to you about tutoring me. I'm willing to pay you for it. Has she brought this up with you?"

Gordon's eyes narrowed, and his hands, which had been fidgeting with his buttons, froze in place. He said, "I've been busy lately. From now on, don't talk to me during work hours, or I'll get my pay deducted."

With that, he turned away. As he left the shop, he coincidentally bumped into Mike. Mike reached out and patted Gordan's shoulder. "Gordan, I've been so busy that I nearly forgot to tell you."

Gordon looked at him, waiting for him to finish his sentence. Mike continued, "At around seven, there was a beautiful young lady who came to look for you. She looked rather familiar and seemed to be from the same school as you.

"I'm not sure what happened but after I told her you were working in the kitchen with another young woman, she left without saying anything else.

"Oh, she also told me not to tell you about her visit. What's going on? Are you two in a relationship? How could you not tell me that you had such a beautiful girlfriend?"

Gordon furrowed his brows and retorted, "She's not my girlfriend."

"Don't try to hide it from me. I could tell that the young lady was jealous. I was also young once, so I understand. If she wasn't jealous… she wouldn't have left without a word. Hurry and make it up to her.

"But let me make it clear, just like you, Emily has also been working for me for many years. She's diligent and hardworking. I can't bear to lay her off, so you better sort out your affairs."

After Mike left, Gordon pondered for a while before taking his phone out of his pocket. His notifications were from a few days back and there were no new messages on his phone. Mayra hadn't contacted him since.

Gordon looked at the date again. It was Tuesday, the second of July. It had been two days since Mayra finished her mock exam. Gordon sent a text to a familiar number, but he never got a reply.
