Chapter 388: Provoked

Chapter 388: Provoked

Shortly after...

"Finished!! This... you can see for yourself." Oscar’s voice echoed through the room.

Then he shifted the laptop monitor to Laura before he played the CCTV footage. Their eyes were focused on the monitor. They saw Rose going up to the restaurant’s second floor, but before she arrived, she stopped.

They were both confused.

But after that, they looked at another CCTV footage. They saw a female figure sitting near the stairs.

Laura and Oscar are shocked when they look at the woman’s face.

"What was Carla Miller doing there?" Oscar was dumbfounded to see Carla Miller’s lunch there, alone.

"I knew it!! The young madam must have met that woman." Laura couldn’t help but feel irritated.

After some time, they saw Rose continue her step. But... later, they were both shocked. They saw Carla Miller standing up from her seat and approaching Rose—looked like she was provoking Rose.

"What the heck!! Carla Miller said something to Lady Boss!?" Oscar suddenly felt worried. He knew who Carla Miller was, and from the first time he met this woman, he immediately disliked her.

"Can we hear what they’re talking about!?" Laura asked without taking her eyes off the CCTV footage. She was worried to see that Carla Miller was bullying her young madam.

Even though Oscar wanted to hear what they were talking about, he couldn’t. Because CCTV in restaurants can only record images, not audio.

"Sorry! I can not ..." There was regret in Oscar’s tone.

It wasn’t only Laura who was worried. Oscar also felt the same way. He felt his blood boil from how odd this woman was. She was like a blood-sucking leech that always clung to Sean, and his Boss disliked her.

He let his guard down. Now, he regretted letting Rose go to the second floor even though he already knew Sean’s car was in the parking lot. There was a chance that Sean would bring this woman, but he still let her go to the second floor alone.

Oscar could only swallow his own rage and shut his mouth tightly.

"I wonder... What did Carla say to the young madam? Why did the madam’s mood suddenly drop to zero!?"

"This...." Oscar stopped his words and reluctantly said something. He immediately closed his laptop and was about to leave the room, but before he left the room, Laura stopped him.

Laura was surprised to see Oscar’s strange expression as he left the room. She could sense that this man was hiding something from her.

"Oscar, please stop!!" Laura walked quickly to him. "Tell me, what do you know about Carla Miller? Please don’t hide anything from me. I know you are hiding something from me, Oscar. And, you also know I have to protect my young Lady Boss, mentally and physically. If young master Evan finds out his wife is as sad as she is now, he definitely won’t be happy!?"

Seeing the persistence in Laura’s eyes made Oscar baffled.

"This..." Oscar took a deep breath before he asked Laura to follow him to the sitting area. After they sat facing each other, he glanced at Laura again.

"I... I don’t really know Carla Miller. But all I know is she’s close to Sean Spencer. And I’ve seen her a few times with Evan... It was when we had gatherings if I remember correctly."

"Yeah? I think I know that too..." Laura said.

Oscar was surprised to learn that Laura knew that, "Laura, has boss Evan ever brought Carla here?"

Laura shook her head. "No! Of course not. Young master Evan never brought that woman here. But I’ve heard them talk about that woman. So I concluded that the woman is friends with young masters Sean and Evan."

"Thank goodness! It would not be delightful if that woman ever visited this place. Lady boss would certainly be jealous!" Oscar massaged his temple, which suddenly felt hurt — thinking about the past.

"What do you mean?" Laura was confused by his words.

Any stories between that woman and young master Evan? Now, Laura’s heart felt uneasy.

Oscar didn’t answer Laura immediately but pondered for a moment, thinking whether to tell her or not.

After some time...

"Actually, Carla Miller had a crush on Sean Spencer since high school, but Sean never liked her back. He only saw her as a friend. Interestingly, that woman was our big boss’ first crush..."

Oscar fell silent when he saw Laura’s surprised expression. A soft laugh escaped his mouth before he continued, "But, back then... Carla Miller never gave our big Boss a chance. Because she only liked Sean Spencer..."

Laura was utterly shocked by what she heard.

"And, back then, no one knew our Big Boss’s identity as the young master of the Collins family, including Carla Miller. So she’s not interested in him. She’s only interested in Sean because of his wealth..." Oscar wanted to say that, but he held it back. Laura didn’t need to know about this.

"That woman is so mean! At first, she never turned down our Boss. She seemed to give him hope. But, at some point, she told boss Evan that Sean liked her, accepted Sean’s feelings, and rejected our big Boss...." Oscar felt hurt again, remembering those times. When his big Boss is heartbroken over that damn woman.

"O-Oscar... does our young madam know about this!?" Laura’s worries grew stronger. Moreover, the footage looks on CCTV as if Carla said something to provoke Rose. "Did that woman provoke our young madam?"

"Well... I don’t know. But, if Carla did it... now, we know why our Lady Boss sulked after meeting that woman..."

Laura nodded in agreement.

"Damn, Big Boss!! Your wife is jealous now..." Oscar could only scold his big Boss in his heart for prolonging his business trip to the USA.

If the big boss went home as planned, his wife wouldn’t be as gloomy as now.

Meanwhile, somewhere in America,

Gavin and a burly man with a scar on his left cheek stood by the bed, surrounded by medical equipment.

Their eyes stared at the handsome man who lay motionless on the bed.
