Chapter 28 Dodging
Joey’s heart began to race at the sight of Allen’s car. She had turned off her phone for the whole day to
avoid his calls. Thus he hadn’t seen her this morning as they had agreed last night. But she hadn’t
expected that he would have come to her company to pick her up.
“Sarah, let’s use the back door.”
Joey hurriedly took Sarah’s arm and hid behind a pillar.
Sarah was confused, “Why the back door? Philip is waiting for us outside.”
“Why is Philip here?”
Joey was perplexed. She had been distracted by Allen and had no idea of Philip’s presence.
“I asked him to come here…”
Sarah lowered her head.
She had intended to break up with John Walter. Thus she had made an appointment with Philip to ask
whether he would get back with her. Now she had made up with John Walter. But Philip showed up too.
She didn’t know what to do.
Joey figured out what was going on with Sarah. She wasn’t happy, “Sarah, since you’ve chosen John
Walter, please clear things up with Philip as soon as possible. He is a good man. Don’t hurt him.”
Sarah wasn’t happy either, “Hurt him? Aha, I’m afraid I’m not the one who has really hurt him.”
Philip had always loved Joey. His heart would probably only ache for her.
Joey was now too confused to take the hint. She paused and made up her mind, “Then you can use
the front door. I’ll use the back door.”
She hurried to the back door of the company.
Sarah assumed that Joey just didn’t want to see Ben Hawk, so she didn’t stop her. Sarah turned
around and walked out of the front door.
Joey had told her about Ben Hawk’s wandering eye. But Sarah certainly didn’t know that he had been
cheating on Joey with her own sister.
Philip was waiting at the door. Handsome as always, he attracted much attention of office ladies.
“Sarah, why did you ask me to meet you here?”
Philip greeted her. He was a little disappointed when he found that there was no one else behind her.
“Haven’t we agreed that we would remain friends after the breakup?”
Sarah put on a sly smile, “What are you looking for?”
Philip smiled sheepishly, “Sarah, don’t make fun of me. You know why…”
To be honest, he had agreed to see Sarah today mainly because he wanted to see Joey. Unfortunately
Joey didn’t show up with Sarah, which was very disappointing.
Suddenly an idea crossed Sarah’s mind. She leaned toward him and said, “Actually, I asked you to
meet me because I have something important to tell you. Joey and Ben Hawk are breaking up.”
Philip was surprised, “Why?”
“Because Ben has been cheating on her.”
Sarah was being honest.
“What? I hadn't expected that he would be such a shameless bastard. Joey is a great girl. He had the
nerve to cheat on her. I’ll teach him a lesson!”
Philip was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and intended to rush into the building.
He knew that Ben Hawk had been working in the Walter Group as a business manager.
“Philip, calm down.”
Sarah quickly stopped him, “Didn’t you see that I told you the news to offer you an opportunity? Joey
used the back door to avoid Ben Hawk just now. Go and find her. This is your best opportunity.”
She wasn’t the woman Philip had been in love in the past few years, but she was grateful for his
kindness toward her. She was the one who had cheated on him with John Walter, so she had always
felt guilty. Hopefully a nice gesture would soothe her guilty conscience today.
As expected, Philip’s anger gradually turned into joy. He had been waiting for this opportunity all these
years. He grabbed Sarah’s hands with excitement and gratitude, “Thank you, Sarah. Thank you very
much.”
He ran to the back door like a whiff of wind. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
In the meanwhile, Joey walked toward the back door after she had left Sarah. She hadn’t expected that
she would find Allen Charles leaning on the door frame when she opened the door.
When her eyes met his, Joey’s heart suddenly missed a beat. She looked at him in disbelief.
