Chapter 466 I want to ask for a leave

Realizing what he was thinking, Douglas withdrew his gaze, leaned back on the seat, then looked at Martha, saying coldly, "Tell me what's going on? What do you want to do? Why did you make yourself ugly?' Douglas' tone was very unfriendly, full of danger, and it could even be said that he might scare people as hell.

Martha had a guilty conscience, but seeing Douglas really angry now, she really faltered.

Biting her lips lightly, Martha said, "It's my fault. Believe me. I don't have any intention of bringing harm to the company or jeopardizing your interests."

Martha was really worried that Douglas would take her as some kind of corporate spy.

Just thinking about it made her feel a little uneasy.

Douglas listened to her explanation, but instead became even more convinced subconsciously.

"Didn't jeopardize my interests?" Douglas snorted lightly, "You make yourself ugly to hurt my eyes. Won't it be considered as jeopardizing my interests?"

Martha looked at Douglas in shock. It was hard to believe that it was him who said those words.

In the past seven years, Martha had known Douglas was sharp-tongued, and was shocked that why the words from his mouth can become sharper every day?

But there had never been a moment that had shocked Martha so much.

Because, it seemed that Douglas' spiteful remark had not been for her, this was the first time.

In addition, no matter how malicious Douglas was before, he had never used it on a woman's appearance, so Martha was really astonished when she heard Douglas say that about her. She wanted to talk back, but didn't have the ability.

After all, she hid her true face first, and no matter what, it was her fault.

However, Martha couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "I'm not ugly."

Even if she used darker foundation, her facial features were pretty good. No matter how ugly she was, it wasn't as exaggerated as Douglas said, right?

How did it hurt his eyes?

He was the one who had visual impact on people.

Although Martha said this very quietly, Douglas still heard it clearly.

Douglas sneered and said, "Are you not convinced?"

Martha immediately faltered again, shook her head vigorously, and said, "You are the boss. Everything you said is right."

She was like a doormat when she said so, as if she was being bullied by Douglas.

Douglas was very helpless. He didn't say anything excessive, so why did she lose her temper?

Martha took a deep breath, and said to worsen the situation, "Anyway, I have my own reasons for doing this. If you don't believe it, forget it. Anyway, I didn't hurt you." When Douglas heard this, he became even more angry. This woman was going to be against him on purpose, wasn't she?

Martha didn't want to continue this topic with him, so she walked over to get the cleanser and said, "I'll use your bathroom." After speaking, regardless of whether Douglas agreed or not, she took the facial cleanser and went into the bathroom. Douglas leaned back on the seat, not moving, but thoughtful.

Indeed, aside from Martha making herself ugly, in other respects, Martha did not do anything to hurt him, whether it was for him as a person or for the company.

This made Douglas very confused. She didn't seem to want anything, so why did she do this?

Soon, Martha washed her face and came out of the bathroom.

This time, she also cleaned her neck, without the contrast of color difference, which made her look even more attractive.

Because the water hadn't completely dried off her fair skin, her face looked tender, making it impossible to take his eyes away.

Coupled with her pair of eyes without glasses, they were watery, which was extraordinarily moving.

Douglas was not a person who judged people by their appearance. From childhood to adulthood, there were countless women of all kinds and styles who had thrown themselves at him, some bold, some reserved, some mature, and some sweet.

Among them, there was no shortage of those who can make people think that they were peerless beauties at first sight.

Douglas had never been attracted, and had never been amazed by anyone.

However, at this moment, even though Martha was still wearing a black and rigid work suit, he still couldn't take his eyes off her.

He did not hide it but looked at Martha boldly, not hesitating to show his appreciation.

Martha had seen such a gaze. Feeling very uncomfortable, she subconsciously looked down, trying to avoid Douglas' gaze.

However, even though she lowered her head, she could still feel how sizzling Douglas' eyes were.

Martha couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised her head again, looked at Douglas, and whispered, "Don't look at me like that." She was really, really scared.

The bad experience in the past made her nervous at the moment.

Douglas heard the tremor in her voice, frowned, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Martha bit her lip and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I would like to take a leave of absence."

Now, she just wanted to go back to her rental house and isolate herself.

However, such an abnormal girl made Douglas feel extremely puzzled. His gaze fell firmly on Martha's face, trying to read her expression.

Douglas hadn't seen Martha like this for seven years.

This was so abnormal.

Douglas didn't care about other people's private affairs originally, but with Martha like this, he couldn't help but worry.

Douglas said, "It's okay to ask for a leave, but you have to tell me what's wrong with you first?"

Martha could feel the worry in Douglas' eyes, and also knew that she shouldn't associate him with those villains, but she couldn't control herself.

She was trembling, and her breathing became rapid and irregular.

Martha didn't know how to describe this feeling. It was like a fish that had been reborn with great difficulty. Suddenly, it was beaten back to its original form and dried up in the desert. There was water in front of it, but it couldn't drink it.

Finally, under tremendous psychological pressure, Martha fell straight backwards.

Douglas' body reacted faster than his mind, and he reached out to grab Martha into his arms, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Martha, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Martha!" Douglas yelled Martha's name. However, it didn't have any effect. He just saw her pale face, looking very pitiful.
