Chapter 256: I Can Prove It to You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Samantha’s finger froze for a moment before she clicked on the message.

[I know that words are no basis for forming conclusions, so I’ll prove it to you tonight.]

After reading the message, Samantha quit WeTalk expressionlessly and turned off the phone display.

Samantha walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. The elevator went straight up and she bit her lip while watching as the display above her changed with each floor.

Once she arrived at the top floor, Samantha stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the office lobby on the right. That belonged to Victoria’s team.

As soon as she walked in, the young lady at the front desk greeted her, “Hello, Ms. Larsson.”

On hearing that familiar voice, Samantha raised her eyes and saw that it was Annabelle. She was surprised at first, but then replied with a smile, “Anna, why are you here?”

She was supposed to be the anchor department’s secretary.

Annabelle smiled warmly. “Ms. Keller, the existing secretary, is on pregnancy leave. The station assigned me here, so I’ll be taking her place for the time being.”

“I see...” Samantha was rather fond of Annabelle so she was naturally very happy. “I guess I’ll be in your care then. Thank you for the trouble.”

“It’s no biggie.” Annabelle waved her hand. “It’s my duty to see to your needs.”

After the initial pleasantries, Annabelle said again, “Ms. Goldman has already given me a rundown and I’ve already gotten the paperwork done for you. Here are the documents. You can sign them once you’ve finished reading.”

Annabelle then handed the documents to Samantha.

“Sure, thanks.” Samantha took the documents. “Is there anything else?”

Annabelle replied, “Ms. Goldman wants to see you in her office once you’ve finalized everything.”

“Okay.”

Samantha walked to her workstation, where she saw her nameplate and some office equipment. It was probably Annabelle who had prepared all that for her.

She put her bag down and took a seat to read the employment documents. After confirming that it was correct, she signed it and went to Victoria’s office.

There was nothing too urgent in Victoria’s request to see Samantha. Victoria simply welcomed Samantha and gave her a little encouragement, then told her that they would soon hold a welcoming party to initiate her into the team. Since some of the team members were outside working, the party would be held when everyone was present.

Samantha thanked Victoria for her kindness and left the office.

Back at her workstation, Samantha looked at the time and realized that it was only 12.

Since it was her first day on the job, she had nothing to do at the moment because she did not have any news assignments. She could not help but think about what Harmony had said earlier that morning, as well as the text that Harmony sent.

Samantha closed her eyes tightly.

Although she knew that Timothy had lied to her, she did not completely believe Harmony either. After all, she knew how much Harmony coveted him.

However, she also knew that evading was never the solution.

Samantha might be able to avoid it for a certain period, but she could not keep avoiding it forever.

Harmony said she could prove it to Samantha that night.

‘Fine,’ Samantha thought, ‘I’ll make a bet with you one more time!’

Samantha picked up her phone and called Timothy.

He answered almost as soon as she called him and spoke in a gentle voice, “Sammy.”

Samantha’s hand trembled slightly as she held the cell phone. She gently took a breath and made sure to maintain a normal tone, saying, “I just finished going through the procedures for my first day. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”

“Okay. Do your best at work. I’ll pick you up after you’re done.”

“You don’t have to. It’d be better for you to spend some time with Grandma since you’re at home on leave today. She’s been very restless these couple of days, so you should cheer her up in my place.” Samantha then thought to herself and added a few more words, “This is an order!”

Timothy seemed amused by her words and let out a soft, mellifluous chuckle. “I am bound by my beloved wife’s orders.”

Samantha’s heart felt sour in an instant.

His remarks ought to be very sweet, but she could not help herself from feeling uncomfortable when she did not know whether he was telling the truth or not.

Her throat felt a little choked. She was afraid he might hear that her tone was off so she said hurriedly, “Okay, I’m going to continue my work now. See you tonight.”

“Come back early. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Samantha hung up as soon as he said that.

She took two deep breaths and managed to ease her mood a little.

Samantha stared at the phone screen and said to herself, ‘Please don’t disappoint me, Timothy...’

…

Back at the villa, Timothy left the study and went downstairs.

Old Madam Barker was doing some flower arrangements when Timothy walked over and sat beside her.

She looked at him and cocked an eyebrow. “Yes?”

“It’s nothing,” Timothy replied straightforwardly. “My wife just ordered me to keep you company.”

“Pfft,” Old Madam Barker burst out laughing. “I could never imagine that this day would ever come for a brat like you. Then again, it’s only right for you to listen to your wife.”

It had been ages since she sat down and had a nice random chat with Timothy. Many a time, she felt that her grandson was becoming an emotionless and apathetic robot as the years went by.

The feeling was especially strong in the past two years, where he seemed to change into a completely different person.

There were times when Timothy felt like a stranger to her.

Ever since Samantha came back and remarried Timothy, his iciness was gradually melted by her warmth. He was full of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, just like ordinary people.

He was filled with life and was no longer like a cold, empty shell.

Old Madam Barker could not help but express her awe, “Do you know how lucky you are to meet a good girl like Sammy? You’d better make sure to not let her down, or else I’m the first one who won’t forgive you!”

Timothy replied without hesitation and spoke in an extremely affectionate voice. “Of course.”

…

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Samantha received sporadic WeTalk messages from Timothy while she was sorting out some documents.

[Making flower arrangements with Grandma.]

He sent a picture of his flower arrangement.

[Playing a card game with Grandma and Aunt Julia.]

He sent a picture of the poker cards.

[I lost.]

He sent a picture of his face covered with notes because he lost.

Samantha did not want to look at any of that, but she could not help herself from clicking in to look. In the end, she could not control herself from smiling slightly.

She could tell that Timothy wanted to make her happy after seeing her unease, but he did so in a rather typical male fashion.

After all, he was smart enough to never lose in a simple card game, unless he deliberately played to lose. That way, he could kill two birds with one stone by cheering up both grandma and her.

At half-past five, Timothy sent a message: [Cooking dinner. Waiting for you to come home.]

The discomfort Samantha felt the entire day had been somewhat relieved.

Perhaps Timothy had his reasons. A person with his character would not have to go to such lengths if he was just acting.

He was never like that during their previous relationship.

She might even be able to have a heart-to-heart with him that night.

At six in the evening, Samantha turned off the computer and got up. She grabbed her bag and proceeded to clock off work.

As she drove out of Lychee TV, she had decided to go straight home, but a WeTalk notification rang on her phone.

She glanced at it and saw that it was from Harmony.

Samantha wanted to ignore the message, but after seeing the contents, she immediately braked without warning!
