It's been a long time since she slept alone, she's not used to it.
That night, both of them stayed up all night.
Tomorrow morning.
When Bertha got out of bed, Shane's door was still closed, maybe he hadn't woken up yet.
She finished getting ready and went to Angel, she didn't want to say a word to Shane.
These past few days, it has been raining heavily in S city, all the buildings are covered in a gloomy and deadly atmosphere.
Bertha felt that her heart was not at peace. She sat in front of her desk, put her hand on her chin, and looked blankly at the continuous rain outside the window.
Shane's strange actions from last night were flashing before her eyes one after another like a cartoon, she didn't even pay attention to Anne's report.
She suddenly remembered last night, when she kicked Shane off the bed, he groaned.
He is a very patient person, unless he pretends to be pitiful towards her, otherwise, no matter how much pain he is in, he can still endure it, and he will not moan easily.
Moreover, Shane is much heavier than her, and he also has martial arts, why did she just push him once but he fell on the bed?
The more she thought about it, the more strange she felt about this.
Because the marks showed, Shane was probably injured.
His body was very weak, so he didn't have time to take precautions when she kicked him off the bed.
Thinking of this, she patted the table sadly.
Last night she was angry, she simply didn't pay attention to so many loopholes.
Now that I think about it, he was very strange.
Anne was startled by Bertha's sudden banging on the table. “General manager, where did I read it wrong?”
"Are not."
Bertha regained consciousness, she quickly packed her bag. “I have to go out. Wait until I return, please report again. If I don't come back, you will report later tomorrow.”

The rain is very heavy.
Miller Corporation's general manager's office.
Shane sat in front of the window, his face tired and depressed, his eyes dark and gloomy, as if he had lost all vitality.
He looked at the window torn into patchy cracks by the heavy rain. He suddenly remembered what Bruno said when he was in City X.
“The virus in your body will leave sequelae in the long run, by then you will be a disabled person. If she knew, maybe in the short term, she would pity you, but what about later?”
“From the moment you started taking the pills, your flawed body was pre-determined that you weren't worthy of her.”
“I can't have her, neither can you.”
The hand under the vest sleeve was clenched tightly, his face became paler and paler, and his spirit was very bad.
Perhaps he couldn't hesitate any longer.
Long pain is not equal to short pain.
Letting Bertha hate him, hate him, let her soon step out of the darkness and start a better life, that is the best thing for her.
Fallon was sitting on the sofa not far away, elegantly pouring tea for her.
She is the representative of the Rossi category, today she came here to discuss the issue of contract terms with Shane.
But from the moment she entered the room until now, Shane sat sadly in front of the window watching the rain for more than half an hour, he didn't say a word to her.
“Shane, it seems like you're in a bad mood today. Let me guess, it's probably not a work issue, you and Miss. Did Bertha just argue?”
Shane frowned. “Please pay attention to your identity, you shouldn't ask questions, keep your mouth shut.”
Fallon is very reasonable, her eyelashes curled, and she smiled faintly. “Okay, I didn't ask, but if you need my help, I definitely won't refuse.”
Shane was completely immobilized by her whining voice, he was even extremely disgusted. “What did you come here to say? If you're done talking, get out.”
Fallon stood up, she elegantly walked to his side and was about to speak when Liam suddenly knocked on the door.
“Boss, Miss. Bertha comes.”
Why did she come here?
Shane momentarily panicked, and his hand wearing a leather glove grabbed Fallon's wrist.
Fallon understood what he meant. She leaned down, her ear close to Shane's lips, and she seriously listened to him whisper a few words.
When Bertha entered the room, she saw this scene.
Especially the intimate movements of the two of them stimulated her nerves intensely.
“Shane?”
Hearing Bertha's voice, Fallon's eyes showed surprise. She awkwardly left Shane's hand. She took a step back and stood still.
“Miss. Bertha, why did you come here? It's not the right time..."
Bertha frowned. “Did I come at the wrong time? What are you two doing?”
Fallon stammered, she glanced at Shane, her cheeks were red, looking shy.
Shane's eyes were dark, his voice was as light as the wind. “What you think is right.”
Did he want to provoke her?
Bertha took a deep breath, she tried to control the anger in her chest, and she kept telling herself to calm down.
She coldly glanced at Fallon. “You get out.”
Fallon was not happy, she exclaimed. “Shane…”
Shane lowered his eyes, and he pursed the corners of his lips as if tacitly agreeing.
Fallon had to turn around and leave.
Waiting for the scent of Fallon's flirtation to dissipate in the office, Bertha approached Shane, her sharp eyes noticing his slightly pale face.
She sat down next to him, put her hands on his legs, she raised her head to look at him, her voice was very gentle.
“Shane, you were injured on this trip to the border, right?”
“I didn't know last night so I kicked you, I'm sorry.”
“But Shane, you're not alone, you don't have to endure the pain alone. I will be with you, love you. I will also learn to pamper you and protect you, okay?”
Her gentle and soothing voice poured into Shane's ears, it kept echoing in his head.
Before her eyes was her beautiful face like radiant sunshine.
