Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 48

I open my eyes suddenly, feeling all sweaty. The white light comes into my eyes.

The woman I dreamed of was myself. The people in front of my sickbed were Callen, Maisy, and my ex-mother-in-law. After such a long time, I still have this dream.

"Are you awake?"

I turn my head and see my boss. I sit up and ask, "What brings you here, Boss?"

"I'm here to apologize," she says with embarrassment.

I'm actually confused.

She looks up at me and says, "I'm sorry. We didn't expect Sean to be such a jerk. But we can't have any bad press at the company, so can you forgive him?"

I finally know why she's here.

Sean tried to take me to the warehouse in the elevator. I'm not an idiot, so I knew very well what would happen if I followed him to the warehouse.

If I hadn't been biting his hand so hard, I wouldn't be sitting here right now.

"Where am I?" I ask indifferently.

After being stunned for a while, she answers, "This is the infirmary. You passed out just now."

"So you've already known what happened in the elevator?" I look at her.

She thinks for a long time and then says, "Sean's been working here for seven years. He is a good employee and we..."

"I don't want to hear this. Just answer my question."

I suddenly think of Jonah. He offered me a check and asked me to leave Harrison, but he didn't make me sick like she did.

She clearly knows the truth, but she still wants me to forgive Sean. Obviously, as a woman, she doesn't think sexual harassment is a big deal.

But I can't accept this. Just because Sean's an old employee doesn't mean he can bully the newcomer.

She hesitates and finally says helplessly, "You know what a scandal can do to an educational institution. No one's gonna trust us again if this gets out."

"That's why you should punish Sean!" I become excited. "There's got to be a lot of people in the company who know about the harassment, right? Someone may have told you this before, but you let it happen."

"You are slandering me!" She gets extremely angry.

But I don't care. All I care about is what I want to know and the truth.

Ignoring her, I look straight ahead and say, "Sean and I used to be classmates, so I was really shocked that he turned out to be such a jerk."

"I'm sure this isn't the first time he's molested a woman. You still want me to forgive him?"

If she says yes, then I wonder if there's anything abnormal between her and Sean.
