When Claudio Belles returned to the Villa Real, Eduardo Tercero was already seated at the table, his handsome face somber in the extreme, as if he was repressing emotions that could explode at any moment.
Claudio Belles was carrying a few bags of groceries, trying to pass carefully, but Eduardo Tercero had no intention of letting him get away with it.
Eduardo Tercero looked at the time on his wristwatch and asked in a cold voice, “A quarter past seven, what did I say before I left the house?”
Claudio Belles was standing not far from the table, shopping bags still in his hands, thinking that not only had she gotten him in trouble outside and made an enemy of the princess, but she had also come back late to try to impress him.
But Claudio Belles and Eduardo Tercero have essentially the same kind of character, absolutely soft but not hard, and Claudio Belles was a little annoyed when Eduardo Tercero did not step forward.
What had been a sincere attitude immediately became stately, chin up in sophistry, “President Eduardo only said he would be back before dinner, he didn’t say what time dinner starts at home, it’s only after seven, it’s not too late for dinner.”
Eduardo Tercero sits at the table, holding back a huff.
Soledad, standing by the table, trembling, casting several furtive glances at President Eduardo’s ice-cold face, whispered hurriedly to Claudio Belles: “Miss Claudio, President Eduardo has been waiting for you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Eduardo Tercero suddenly rose from his chair and interrupted Soledad coldly, “Take all these meals away!”
Soledad: “… is.”
Eduardo Tercero walked past Claudio Belles without stopping.
Claudio Belles’ eardrums shuddered as Eduardo Tercero went up to his study on the second floor and slammed the door shut.
He was only 10 minutes late, why did he have to do that?
Men are just pretentious.
Claudio Belles then dropped some high luxury shopping bags he had in his hands on the sofa and threw his arms out, “I’m exhausted, I’ve been shopping all afternoon, Soledad, don’t empty these dishes, President Eduardo won’t eat them, I will.”
Soledad: “… Miss Claudio, you have a big heart”.
Claudio Belles washed his hands and sat down at the table, “Or what, I’m going to starve to death with him?”.
Soledad could not help but say, “It is normal for President Eduardo to lose his temper, he has never waited for anyone, not even the current president of R. He has always been the only one who has been late, others have waited an hour or two. Miss Claudio, you have kept President Eduardo waiting for an hour and the food is getting cold, so if you want to eat, I will have to heat it up for you.”
Claudio Belles puffed out his lips, “No wonder he is angry, that is why he waited an hour, yes he made him wait a little longer, but it is only an hour, it is considered chivalrous for a man to wait for a lady for an hour, is it necessary to lose your temper so much?”
“I don’t think it’s really necessary for an ordinary man. But he’s not an ordinary man when it comes to Miss Claudio, that’s a man that the President of R has to give three shits about, Miss Claudio, so you’d better go upstairs and convince President Eduardo. ”
Claudio Belles first reaction was to refuse, shaking his head vigorously, “I’m not stupid, he’s angry right now, wouldn’t I go straight for a gun, if he shot me and threw me in the cold river I wouldn’t be able to resist.
For the sake of your little life, it is better to elaborate on this arrogant and twisted manhood first.
Soledad looked at her and said amused, “Miss Claudio, you don’t know President Eduardo very well, don’t you think he has ever bothered you since you moved to La Villa Real? You have done it countless times and President Eduardo has done nothing to you, so President Eduardo will do nothing to you. At most, he will give you a cold face.”
Claudio Belles: Did I? When have I ever made him angry? How come I don’t know. A dumbfounded face.
Was she too big and grumpy, or was this man too angry?
Once Soledad had heated up the food, Claudio Belles took a few bites and then looked up at the closed door of the study; the man had become real and really wouldn’t come down for dinner.
On second thought, if Eduardo Tercero didn’t come down and hold his anger, he might look at her wrong tonight or tomorrow, and since this was Eduardo Tercero’s place and she was in a position of power, she decided to go to Eduardo Tercero.
Claudio Belles got up and walked over to the sofa, picked up the new tie for Eduardo Tercero and went upstairs clutching the delicate black rectangular gift box.
Without knocking, he opened the door and walked straight into the study.
The man sitting at his desk, working, didn’t look up, just tossed out a cold, “Didn’t anyone teach you to knock before you came in?”
Knowing he was being deliberately difficult, Claudio Belles refused to go out and knock on the door, which was open anyway, so he stood in the doorway and said, “It’s true that no one taught me to knock before coming in. President Edward said I was free to come and go in and out of President Edward’s study, except the first time I broke into his study out of curiosity.
The implication is that how would she know to knock, and on another level scold Eduardo Tercero for not keeping his word.
Eduardo Tercero pursed his lips and looked at her, his somber mood dissipated a bit, without smiling or tensing his face, this sharp-tongued girl would be the first place winner in a debate contest.
Seeing Eduardo Tercero’s relieved expression, Claudio Belles immediately ran to him with a gift box in his arms and a pure, sweet smile on his face. “President Eduardo, this afternoon I not only bought something for myself, I also bought a present for you.”
Eduardo Tercero looked at the girl crouched rather sharply by his leg and laughed, “With my money, to buy me a present?”
Claudio Belles said with special sincerity to Eduardo Tercero: “I have no money, I was picked up by President Eduardo and, besides, President Eduardo keeps restricting me from going out. I can’t go out to work to earn money, right?”.
Eduardo Tercero: “…” At the end of the day it is his problem.
Claudio Belles did not allow Eduardo Tercero to refuse and opened the box for him personally: “President Eduardo, try it on, I have chosen it very carefully and I think this is the one that suits you best”.
A certain con artist lies without blushing, clearly entering the store and picking up a strip at random in less than three seconds, and if it weren’t for the sudden appearance of that high-flying princess with eyes over her head, she could have managed to pay in ten seconds and return with the loot.
Most of the blame for his late return must be attributed to the uninformed princess.
Edward the Third tugged on the hand of the little woman, who was half-kneeling by his leg, and gently pulled her to sit on his lap.
Claudio Belles had the newly purchased tie in his hand, “Presidente Eduardo will you try it on?”
“You bought it, you tied it for me.”
Eduardo Tercero took the step and Claudio Belles came down immediately, the girl took the tie and put it around the man’s neck.
But he tied it for half a day, but it didn’t work out for him.
Hell, the Ming organization taught him how to hold a gun, how to kill, how to disarm a bomb, how to seduce an enemy, but never how to tie a man’s tie.
