Chapter 2Defying the Script

Next day, Julian condition much better.

He took lawyer and bodyguards, legally and compliantly applied to freeze Tessa's family property, and emptied furniture.

Tessa cried like pear blossom bathed in rain, questioning:

"Mr. Hale, must you drive us to extinction?"

Julian looked back, frowned asking:

"Aren't you living well?"

That day, to not sleep on street, Tessa family handed over savings book.

Inside was future fund saved for Tessa's brother, enough to pay back more than half compensation.

Tessa discovering parents hid money, looked like stabbed in back.

Tessa parents eyes dodging, cursing in mouth:

"All you this harm star! Caused your brother kill person go jail for you! Later you have to take care us lifetime, also take care your brother lifetime!"

Julian took the farce all in eyes, Tessa looked at him somewhat seeking help.

The Script started speaking again:

"See? Male Lead finds Heroine actually is a little bitter melon, will reflect on his previous attitude, they about to break ice."

But Julian just silently left, he took savings book to my parents.

My parents still completely immersed in pain of losing daughter, Julian handed savings book, voice choked:

"Uncle Auntie, this is part of compensation, I will continue follow up later."

Parents waving hands, wanted say forget it.

But Julian insisted repeatedly.

"Uncle Auntie, money you must take, Elena not here, this money is for you two pension later."

My heart just surged a warm current, feeling Julian seriously considering for my parents.

The Script like discovered something big, excitedly told me:

"See no! Male Lead is making cut, this means he won't be responsible for your parents' pension later!"

This time, I didn't refute.

I felt, Julian is a bit wrong.

Tessa became Julian's personal secretary.

First day Tessa came to work, Julian threw a big temper, questioning HR how recruited.

HR scared trembling:

"Boss, Miss Tessa's resume completely fits our hiring standards."

Tessa no longer forbearing like past, she stepped forward, looked straight at Julian, calmly started negotiation.

"Mr. Hale, if remember correctly, I still owe you 200k compensation."

"You certainly can fire me, but same time I also hard find suitable job in short term. My family situation you clear, only me one labor force can pay debt."

"If I can't pay money, can't afford food, maybe will leave everything, walk away."

"That time no matter how you force my parents useless, they can't take out more money."

Tessa's frank serious speech convinced Julian, he stunned moment, accepted Tessa as secretary.

I stopped talking, lowered head.

The Script instead unbearably comforted me:

"Don't too sad, you sooner or later have to accept. Male and Female Leads just experience thousands hardships, finally be together."

Yes, they are pure hate love that can finally become family even across blood sea deep enmity.

What about me?

My briefly withered life, just to let them meet.

Too ridiculous.

In days after, Tessa showed amazing work ability.

Even if Julian always threw tantrum without reason, various difficulties ridicule, Tessa not rush not annoy, always could handle one by one.

She would accompany Julian stay up all night rushing report, hand hot porridge and stomach medicine when his stomach hurt.

Also when project appeared doubts, use her knowledge argue strongly with Julian.

Even if Julian always let her do chores irrelevant to work, she could also easily grab both hands, balance life and career well.

In new work project, Tessa made perfect plan, helped company win big case.

Even partner company praised endlessly, praising to Julian when signing:

"Mr. Hale really good eye, where dug such good talent."

Other companies wanted pay heavy money buy Tessa, let her reveal company secret crush Julian.

Even I squeezed a sweat, worried Tessa betray.

But she recorded evidence, lightly handed over evidence, joined hands with Julian, solved rival company.

That moment, I clearly saw waver in Julian's eyes.

He no longer made difficulties for Tessa, no longer said excessive words to her.

At celebration party, Tessa drank too much, hand on Julian shoulder, drunk eyes blurred.

"Mr. Hale, you all want beat me down, want let me die, I just won't let you wish. I just want live well, slap everyone's face!"

Even I almost beaten down by Tessa's high spirited vitality, let alone Julian.

Julian quietly gazed at Tessa, eyes seemed have appreciation, and undercurrent I couldn't say.

Finally, he just softly said:

"No one wants to beat you down."

The Script didn't remind me again, anyone could see, Julian's heart already wandered.
