CHAPTER 59 YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO

"Try it out and you'll know if it's serious or not."

"Uh... it's okay then." Jason laughed dryly.

Hah, how could he want them to divorce? He would not be Lancaster's relative anymore if they got a divorce. His relatives and friends would not comply with him nor would they address him as "Mr. Frey" anymore.

He would not do something that posed no advantage t o him!

"Alright, Jason, I'm still working, that's all." Yvonne pulled her phone away from her ear.

"Wait, wait, hold up, sis!" Jason called her frantically.

"What more?"

"Sis, I won’t be going to Henry for money but you should at least give me some still. I'm treating a few clients to a meal now. Send me some money and let m e foot the bill."

Yvonne was amused despite her rage. "You don’t even have the money to foot the bill and you're treating your clients to a meal? Jason, why are you so capable?"

Hearing the taunt in her words, Jason roared in anger, "This has nothing to do with you. Send me $1,500 right now or I’ll ask mom to go to you."

Yvonne's expression stiffened.

Her mom? No way! If she came, she would definitely cause another scene!

"I don’t have $1,500.1 only have $300 left." Yvonne palmed her forehead in fatigue.

"$300?" Jason exclaimed, "Sis, are you trying to shoo off a beggar? How could $300 be enough?"

"Then figure it out yourself. I just bought a camera. I only have $300 left. Take it or leave it!" Yvonne made herself clear.

If something happened to her family or her brother, she would do her best to gather some funds for them. For trivial matters like this, she would stave it off, if not give something small as a gesture, as long as her mother did not come to pester her about it.

"Sis, what did you get a camera for?" asked Jason.

Yvonne put him on speaker and tossed her phone on the table. "For an overseas team building."

"Overseas?" Jason perked up. "Sis, which country are you going to?"

"Don't know."

"Take me along. I’ve never gone out of the country."

Yvonne furrowed her brows together. "Why am I taking you along when it's my company's team build? Alright, I’ll send you the money. That's it."

Hanging up, Yvonne transferred the remaining $300 she had in her card to Jason.

Looking at the balance notification that the bank had texted her, she laughed humorlessly. "I’m without a cent now."

Tap, tap, tap... The sound of her door being knocked came up promptly.

Yvonne looked up and went over to open the door. "M r. Woods?"

"Miss Frey, Mr. Lancaster is looking for you." Joe gave her a small smile while standing outside the door.

"Did he say what it's for?" asked Yvonne.

Joe shook his head. "Mr. Lancaster didn't elaborate.

You'll know when you go to him, Miss Frey."

"Okay, I'll be on my way now. Thank you for letting me know, Mr. Woods."

Yvonne smoothed down her business attire and headed for the CEO office next to hers.

"Mr. Lancaster, you were looking for me?" Yvonne entered.

Henry put down his pen and spoke up coldly, "Why are you here today? Your sick leave is still ongoing, isn't it?" holds this content.

Having considered that she had just gone through an operation, he had specifically given her a month off work so that she could stay in the villa and recuperate.

Look at her now, she was reporting for work the next day after her discharge!

Did she even care about what he said?

"Uh..." Yvonne scratched her head, not expecting Henry to be looking for her due to this matter. "I'm fine now. It's quite boring to not do anything for the whole day too, so I might as well come to work. I've just become a secretary too, so I’ll be burdening my seniors if I don't keep up."

"Is work more important than health to you?" Henry pressed his lips together in disdain.

Yvonne cast her eyes downward. "It's not the same. I know my body. As for the job... it's important to me. I want to become better so I can only push myself harder."

Only the best of the elites would qualify to stand beside him...

This was Yvonne's conclusion after she heard what Lynette and Jacqueline said.

She could only work harder now to become someone better since she was lacking behind Jacqueline in her innate conditions.

"If you say so. But I hope that you really know your limit. Don’t let me catch you fainting while working or falling ill," Henry uttered flatly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lancaster. I understand," Yvonne replied with a smile.

Although she was not sure if he had said it out of concern, it did not stop her from assuming it as such.

"Have you heard about the company’s team building?" Henry suddenly asked after closing a file.

Yvonne nodded. "Yeah, high-ranking executives and high-performing employees are traveling abroad for a skiing trip. But I don't know anything else."

"The other employees are traveling locally in batches," Henry told her.

"I see..." Yvonne hummed in realization.

Henry glanced at her with an inexplicable emotion." You don’t have to go to the team building trip this time."

"Why?" Yvonne was stunned.

"Stay in the office. Skiing isn't your forte. And the snow-covered mountains are freezing. Your body won’t be able to take it."

"But everyone's going and I'm staying here..."

"It's been decided." Henry gave his last word before waiting for Yvonne to finish what she wanted to say." You can leave now." 1

Yvonne did not move, clenching her hands on her sides into fists. "Mr. Lancaster, I don’t want to stay in the office. I want to go."

She wanted to stay beside him. She would go wherever he was going! 1

Although there were a lot of people going on the trip a s well, she could very well assume that both of them were joining a tour as long as she disregarded the others. It was a rare opportunity. She must not miss it since no one knew if she would get a second chance.

Besides, she had bought a camera for it.

"No, I told you, you're staying back!” Henry stared at her, his gaze disallowing any defiance.

Yvonne bit her lips. "I'm really fine. Henry, let me go. I've never gone abroad before. I really want to go."

"No room for discussion." Henry was staunched on his decision.

Yvonne lowered her head glumly but she was persisting. "I know that the snow-covered mountains are cold. I'll layer up thicker."

Henry ignored her, making her panic. "Henry..."

"Enough, out!" Henry pointed at the door.

Knowing that he was upset, Yvonne dared not provoke him further. Her mouth was agape but she ultimately went out with disappointment filling her.

Returning to her office, Yvonne's pout was huge and she felt like crying.

She finally had a chance to travel abroad and it was with him in addition. She had even thought of what to buy after arriving in a new country and what photos t o take.

In the end, Henry stopped her from joining the trip!

Looking at the computer in front of her and thinking o f the camera that she had just purchased, Yvonne chortled bitterly and scrolled to cancel the purchase. When the cursor landed on the word "refund," however, she could not bring herself to click it.

Ultimately, it ended with a sigh.

She would just keep it. What if there was another opportunity! Yvonne thought in a way to comfort herself.

In order not to be affected by the fact that she did not get to go to the team building event, she patted her cheeks to motivate herself and dive back into work.

When afternoon came and Yvonne was still keying in some documents in all seriousness, Henry came in suddenly. "Let’s go."

His abrupt voice caused Yvonne to shudder and make an error in her typing.

Quickly adjusting herself, she nudged the blackframed glasses perched on her nose and deleted her error while asking, "Where to?
