Alvera,the Revenger,Married the Billionaire novel Chapter 38

Alvera smiled indifferently. "Really? I don't think I'm losing out, though. Mental torment is much worse than physical torment."

"Some people have no conscience. Also, physical torment is much worse."

Her expression stayed indifferent. "When you get used to the pain, it's easy to ignore it."

Roland looked at her with a sense of irritation. 

He knew what she meant by getting used to the pain. 

He had not forgotten the scars he had seen on her last night.

He quickly applied the ointment on her face and averted his gaze, his brows furrowed.

"You drive," he told her.

Alvera was not happy that he had just sent his driver away and expected her to drive him around.

She opened the door, got off the car and switched to the driver's seat. Then she drove the car to the company.

When they arrived at the company's parking lot, Terry was already waiting in Roland's designated parking space.

Roland got out of the car, glanced at him and said, "Call the Human Resources Department and get Alvera a position in the Administrative Department."

Terry nodded and said, "Yes."

"Oh, by the way, there's no need to explain her relationship with me. I don't need her using social connections to climb the ladder here."

"All right."

After saying that, Roland glanced at Alvera and walked towards the elevator.

Terry turned back and said to Alvera, "Give it a couple of minutes, then you can go ahead and meet the Head of the Human Resources Department."

Alvera smiled at Terry and nodded, "Thank you."

After they left, Alvera counted about five minutes on her watch before taking the elevator up. 

She was given a position in the Administrative Department and was assigned a mentor by her manager.

She spent the entire morning familiarizing herself with the company's operations.

As soon as Roland stepped into his office, he told Terry, "Go and find and find an excuse to check on Alvera later."

"Yes, sir."

"How's the investigation going?"

"There were no surveillance cameras at the beach that night, and we did not find anything suspicious in the available surveillance footage of the surrounding areas. The investigation has hit a dead end."

"Then check every car that has been to the area and find the culprits."

"Yes, I'll handle it as soon as possible."

"Right." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Send someone to ask around at the prison to find out if Alvera had been abused."

The three things he had talked about so far had all been about Alvera.

Terry was puzzled. He wondered why his boss had left Alvera in the parking lot just now if he was so concerned about her.

"Okay, that's all from me. You can leave now," Roland instructed.

"Yes, sir."

At noon, the manager called Alvera into her office for an evaluation.

Alvera was able to answer all her questions about the company perfectly.

Chloe nodded and said, "That's good enough. You can follow Patrick when he's out purchasing in the afternoon. Learn as much as you can. We don't feed rats that cut corners in this department."

"Got it, Manager Scott."

Alvera found Patrick, her mentor, still waiting for her when she came out of the manager's office.

"Let's have lunch together, newbie."

Alvera grabbed her bag and followed him. "I should treat you to lunch to thank you for guiding me."

Patrick looked at her and smiled. "You're a nice girl, but no thanks. You just started here, and you haven't even gotten your first salary. I'd feel bad if you paid for my lunch. You can treat me after you're paid."

Alvera pressed her lips together. At 29, Patrick was around her age, so she found it easy to get along with him.

They had a simple lunch of pasta and coffee.

"Alvera, you just graduated, right?"

Alvera paused for a while then smiled without saying anything.

"I see you're still quite young, so let me just give you some advice," he said. "Don't talk too much in the office. The Admin Department is mostly made up of women, so there's a lot of gossiping going on. It's better if you don't involve yourself in these gossips unless you want to get yourself in trouble."

Alvera nodded. This was a very good advice. "Thank you for the advice, Patrick."

"Eat up."

She smiled at him before lowering her head to finish her meal.

In the CEO office, Roland's expression was stoic and chilly.

Terry stood before him nervously. "Boss, maybe you should eat first."

...

There were two packed lunches on the coffee table.

Just now, Terry saw Alvera leave for lunch with a male co-worker when he went down to bring her up for lunch.

...

When he reported this to his boss, Roland's expression was as dark as thunder and he did not move from his chair.

"Take the food away."

Terry exhaled and said, "Yes."

After lunch, Alvera returned to the office with Patrick.

They were both waiting for the elevator to come up from the parking lot in the basement.

When the elevator arrived and the doors opened, Patrick bowed respectfully to the person inside. "Ms. Earhart."
