Chapter 788 His Scolding
Georgia quickly got out of the covers, trying to tidy herself up.
She really wasn’t that experienced. She was embarrassed to be seen lying in Efren’s arms.
But the visitor didn’t seem bothered, saying, “Sorry, I didn’t expect you to still be in bed so late.”
It was Susan.
Today, she wore a striking red pantsuit.
But her fair skin and elegant figure suited the bold color well, giving her a unique charm.
She came in and asked Georgia cheerfully, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Seeing Susan dressed and made up so brightly, radiating energy this early, Georgia looked down at herself by contrast.
She was still in last night’s wrinkled and dirty clothes from her
near–assault, makeup unchanged, probably a mess.
She mumbled awkwardly, “It was fine.”

But her shy response felt like a challenge to Susan.
Susan’s manicured nails dug into her palms, soon breaking the skin and drawing blood.
But she seemed unaware of the pain, smiling as she asked,
“Do you want breakfast? Bacon and egg sandwiches or anything else?”
But before Georgia could answer, Efren snapped coldly, “Get out! Don’t come here without permission anymore.”
Susan felt wounded.
Though there were no visible scars, she was painful.
Efren had never scolded her so harshly before, let alone banned her from his room in the mornings.
Susan thought, “It must be because of Georgia’s badmouthing me behind my back!
Just because she’s special to Efren, she bullies me like this.”
But Susan didn’t show her anger or jealousy in front of Efren.
She just smiled and said, “I understand.”

This was how she had stayed safely by Efren’s side for years.
But as she left, she explained to Georgia with a smile, “Sorry,
last time we met, I didn’t know you and Mr. Serrano were so close. I thought you were just another girl taking shortcuts. I said those things because I was afraid you’d distract him from
work.”
Susan wasn’t stupid.
Sharing a blanket now, they must have talked.
If they compared notes, her lies would be exposed.
At best, Efren would fire her. At worst, she could lose her life.
She had to stay alive and win Efren over, so apologizing and explaining was her only choice now.
Hearing this, Efren’s brow furrowed slightly.
But he soon thought that he had kept Susan around mainly to
fend off the flocks of girls always buzzing around him.
She had earned the high salary he paid her. For years, she
had flawlessly prevented those scheming women from approaching him.
Considering this, Efren decided not to make a fuss about
Chapter 788 His Scolding
Susan for now.
Georgia was also surprised that Susan explained so directly about that day. It was unexpected.
“It’s fine. It’s the past now.”
She wasn’t one to hold grudges.
Efren then said, “If there’s nothing else, you can go out.”
Relieved that the crisis was over, Susan breathed easier. “Alright, but Mrs. Anna Burns called several times. Give her a
call back when you can.”
“Mm.”
Although Susan had left, Georgia still felt uncomfortable and
asked Efren, “Do you have any clean clothes I could wear? I
want to take a shower.”
