Jonathan's Grudges
Gloria thought it was the hospital calling and immediately picked up the phone. But when she saw it
was Jordy, she frowned and hung up without hesitation.
Jordy was ready to speak, but he didn't expect a mechanical female voice to come into his ear. “Sorry,
the number you have dialed is busy..."
Jordy's face darkened a few notches. He immediately called her again. But... She hung up on him
again. He called again but found his phone number was blocked.
"Gloria!" Jordv yelled through his gritted back teeth. He immediately called Harold.
"Come here with your phone." Confused though Harold looked, he went to Jordy's office immediately.
Just after opening the door, Harold could feel Jordy's freezing aura all over the office.
Feeling surprised and puzzled, Harold handed his phone to Jordy. Jordy took the phone to call Gloria
again, but then he glanced at Harold and ordered in a deep voice, "You need to leave."
Harold nodded and turned away, still confused.
After Harold closed the door, Jordy dialed Gloria's number. As expected, Gloria answered the phone.
Jordy grew black as a thundercloud! Standing outside the door, Harold could feel the cold that seemed
to emanate not from outside but from inside the office. "Harold." Gloria's voice sounded cold and clear.
Jordy suddenly snorted, "Gloria, where did you get the balls to hang up on me over and over again?"
Gloria was a little shocked, not expecting it to be Jordy. She frowned and spoke in a deep voice, "What
do you want from me?"
"I warned you not to be with Jonathan and you listened... but now you've got Bryson." There came a
beeping sound. Jordy just finished his words and heard such an annoying sound. He blew up. Gloria
hung up on him again! Suddenly there was a loud bang. The table was almost smashed into pieces by
Jordy.
Outside the door, Harold was even more confused. The office was soundproof, so Harold didn't hear
what Jordy had said on the phone but a loud crashing sound. What happened there? Gloria put down
her phone and then blocked Harold's phone number. She considered Jordy a bit annoying, but Gloria
didn't expect the phone to ring again. She was about to hang up when she realized it was Jonathan.
She frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment to pick it up.
"What's up?" Jonathan's low voice came to her ears.
"What are you doing?" Gloria closed her eyes, pinched her brow, and said, "I'm taking a rest."
"Well, you must be very tired. How about I bring you lunch at noon?" Gloria frowned slightly, "No,
thanks. I had a late breakfast. I'm not hungry."
"You can't skip lunch." Jonathan's gentle voice was laced with firmness. Gloria didn't want him to come
over at all, so she said seriously, "Mr. Brown, I just want to rest."
"I feel bad because you're tired from taking care of another man." Gloria paused for a moment. He
knew about this too. Jonathan sounded worried, but Glória sensed a little bit of resentment in his tone.
She didn't want to look deep into it but spoke calmly, "Mr. Brown, I need to rest. I am too tired to
entertain you."
