Savannah began to feel a dull pain in her wrist, and it seemed to be getting worse. Fortunately, at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
When he was not noticing, Savannah quickly kneed him in the groin and then ran to the door.
She opened the door and saw a young man staring at her in surprise. Before he could say anything, she ran to the elevator.
No one came out to chase her. She took the elevator down to the design department and went back to her seat, gasping for breath for a long time before she calmed down. Then she awoke to what happened just now.
She struck the boss in the groin!
Before she ran away, she could see his handsome face distorted with pain.
She hoped that his balls were not seriously damaged.
Surely, she would be fired this time.
Well, she didn't care. Let it be! She also couldn't bear to work in a company with a boss who flirted with female subordinates! She didn't want to be on the lookout for s.e.x.u.a.l assault all the time!
However, the man's words were still whirling, lingered in her ears.
Are you thinking of every night we had before? Are you sure you don't know me?
But why? Why did he say that?
She remembered that he looked surprised and unhappy when she greeted him for the first time they met as if she should have known him. His eyes disconcertingly keen as he watched her when they met again in his office.
But she didn't really know this man.
Could it be… he was someone she knew before she suffered a loss of memory three years ago?
She has been plagued by memory loss.
Although her normal life was not affected by the blank in part of her memory, she always felt that she had lost something very important in her life.
In the past three years, she had continued treatment in Italy, including taking medicine, psychological counseling, and even electric therapy, but all the efforts were of no effect. She couldn't recollect what she had lost.
Later, she got over it. She gave up searching for the lost memory. Maybe there was nothing too important in that part of memory.
Did she really know the big boss?
She didn't know anything about him except that his family name was Sterling.
"Savannah." Fiona came running from the planning department and whispered, "I heard that the director of your department and his secretary have just been dismissed by the big boss?"
"Well, yes," Savannah nodded.
Fiona hesitated and asked curiously, "Savannah, I heard that... the big boss fired Tony and Sunny because of you. You... What's your relationship?"
Savannah had no idea why the news spread to others in the company so quickly. Shaking her head, she said, "oh, I don't know him. Just good luck. The boss had a bad mood today."
"So it is." Fiona nodded in relief.
"What's up? Are our colleagues guessing the relationship between the boss and me?" Although Savannah knew she might not be working here for long, she did not want the gossip about her and the man to be circulated in the workplace.
"Hmm... After all, you're just a designer assistant. Tony's the director of the design department, an old man of the company. But Mr. Sterling fired him in public just because he wronged you." Fiona said honestly.
"Fiona, would you please explain to your colleagues that I have nothing to do with Mr. Sterling? I even... I don't even know his name," Savannah said busily.
Fiona patted her hands gently, "don't worry, you can count on me. We have this kind of gossip in the company every day. People will forget it in a few days."
Savannah sighed and smiled.
Fiona laughed again, "I really don't understand why you're in a hurry to distance yourself from the big boss. Ah, some of the female colleagues will deliberately pretend to have a relationship with him if it happens to them. But you just want to run away, as if you're afraid of having anything to do with our boss!"
Savannah pursed her lip. Fiona didn't know that her big boss had assaulted her s.e.x.u.a.lly. She would never want to be associated with a man like that!
"Well, Fiona, do you know who the hell is our big boss?" Savannah asked in a low voice. Fiona came to Zagreb Film several months earlier than her, and she should know the man better than her.
"You don't know? You have never asked about Mr. Sterling since you came in?" Fiona was a little surprised. How could she have no interest in the biggest boss of the company?
Savannah shook her head. Why should she ask about that man? She worked here just to learn more.
"Zagreb Film was purchased by the Sterling group three years ago. You may have heard of the Sterling group, which is the property of the Sterling family in LA. Mr. Sterling, the master of the Sterling family, is the former CEO and President of the Sterling group." Fiona was so enthusiastic when she talked about that man.
"The Sterling family?" Savannah had a shock that made her heart beat when Fiona mentioned the Sterling family and the Sterling group.
That was Devin's grandpa's family?
Mr. Sterling was the young master of the Sterling family. He was Devin's uncle?
So, this man almost became her uncle...
No wonder the glance from the man was so strange as if he had known her for a long time. Did she really know this, Mr. Sterling?
As he was the uncle of her ex-betrothed, it was not surprising that she knew him.
But how did she know him?
"Yes, Zagreb Film is owned by the Sterling family now. What's wrong?" Fiona noticed the changes in Savannah's face.
"Nothing," Savannah looked back and shook her head.
After Fiona left, Savannah was still in a trance.
She was working in a company owned by her former fiancé's uncle.
And this uncle had apparently known her...
She couldn't remember anything about him. She didn't know how they knew each other and what kind of relationship she had with this uncle.
