“Yes!” Kattie nodded. “I took a vacation before, but after a car accident, I have been off for almost half a year, and it’s time to come back to work!”
“Yeah! Good!”
Only then did Esther know that Kattie was the secretary in Elijah’s company. In other words, in the future, Kattie would work in Perry Group. Uh! No, she had never left Perry Group. Moreover, she used to be Elijah’s secretary!
Kattie smiled at them comfortably, and then said, “I’m going to work!”
“Okay! Welcome back!” Elijah said solemnly.
Elijah didn’t explain anything, but Esther was a little uneasy.
And then.
Esther and Elijah entered the president’s room.
“Beep…” The phone in the president’s office rang suddenly.
Elijah reached out and pressed the button, and heard Kattie’s girly voice on the other end of the phone, “President, at ten o’clock this morning, Gabriel, the president of Burton Group in H City has an appointment with you. He is here now.”
“Bring him in,” Elijah said in a deep voice and hung up.
Kattie received a call from the lady in the lobby and turned to the superior. After getting Elijah’s approval, she got up and walked out of the office to the elevator to greet him. Sure enough, the elevator was slowly rising to the top floor. The moment the elevator door opened, Kattie showed a professional smile, “Mr. Burton, please.”
A tall and handsome man in a suit walked out of the elevator. His handsome face was strange. When he saw Kattie, he smiled slightly, “Miss Cole, are you better?”
“Thank you, Mr. Burton, for worrying, I am all right!” Kattie nodded.
“Yeah! That’s good!” Gabriel nodded and smiled.
Kattie opened the door, smiling professionally, “President, Mr. Burton is here!”
Esther just saw that the person who came in had an imposing appearance. He was a handsome guy, but it was not Gabriel who attracted her, but Kattie. She was at work and was charming!
Kattie nodded to Elijah, closed the door, and stepped back.
“Sit,” Elijah said quietly, paying attention to Gabriel who came.
The visitor glanced sharply at Esther, slightly surprised. It seemed that he did not expect that a girl would appear in Elijah’s office. She looked very cute, a young girl, his surprised eyes turned into playfulness, and he turned towards Esther.
Esther was very smart. Seeing Gabriel’s surprise, she nodded slightly, and then quickly said to Elijah. “It suddenly occurred to me that there is something else I gotta do. I made an appointment with Lena in the afternoon! I’ll leave now!”
Elijah was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. “Well, don’t forget to go to class in the afternoon!”
“Yeah!” Esther nodded to Gabriel again, grabbing her backpack and left first.
“Elijah? Who is that?” Gabriel’s eyes were full of playfulness. He walked to the chair opposite the desk and sat down, with his left leg overlapping his right leg. His posture was casual, without a trace of restraint.
“My wife!” Elijah’s leisurely and deep male voice sounded in the silent office.
“You are married?” Gabriel raised his eyebrows.
“Yeah!” There was only one short word.
“I thought you would marry Kattie!” Gabriel smiled faintly.
Esther walked out of the president’s room and saw that Kattie was busy, she smiled slightly, Kattie also smiled slightly and raised her eyebrows. “You are leaving?”
“Yeah!” Esther nodded dully.
“Goodbye!” Kattie said with a smile.
Esther didn’t speak and left straight away.
Kattie was Elijah’s secretary! Why didn’t he say it before? Or did he think it needed no explanation? Was it because she was too narrow-minded? This made Esther feel very awkward.
The phone in her pocket made a sound at this moment, accompanied by vibration. Generally speaking, at this time, nobody would call her. She couldn’t help frowning in confusion, wondering who it would be.
She took out the phone, looked down, and found that it was an unknown number. Holding the phone, she hesitated, then picked up the phone, put it to her ear, and gave a gentle “Hello”.
“Babe?” Philip’s voice passed to her ear, and it was the same low voice, and Esther suddenly felt a slight warmth passing into her eardrum.
“It’s you, Philip!”
“Yes! It’s me!” His nice voice came from the other end. On the phone, she felt that his voice was particularly nice.
“Is there anything you need?” Esther didn’t know why he was calling her.
“Can’t I call you if I’m okay?”
“Hehe, that’s not it!” She shook her head and entered the elevator. “I’m just wondering, you seem to be very idle, don’t you have to work?”
“There is nothing, just making a call to greet you. I’m leaving G City for some time. Don’t miss me too much during this period! Also, remember this number, you can call me if you have something you need. If you have no place to go, or if you are in a bad mood, you can call me!”
“Uh!” Esther was startled. “Hehe, it looks like you are my Dad! Can I call you when I’m homeless?”
“Why? Is Elijah not good to you?”
Just as he said it, doubts came from the other end, as if he cared about her, Esther’s heart warmed and she chuckled. “What! No, I won’t call you!”
But no matter what, Philip gave her a sense of peace of mind. It seemed that he would protect her from wind and rain, and eliminate all worries, it had a special taste to it.
“Little lady, don’t speak big words, if you have something, you can still call me! For example, when Elijah bullies you!” Philip’s ridiculous laughter came from that end, “If he bullies you, just come to me! Also, happy birthday!”
Esther was stunned, how did he know her birthday.
“I will bring you a gift when I get back!” Philip said from the other end. Later, Esther hung up the phone, her mind was a little confused, she didn’t think about it.
After Esther went to Lena’s house with her after class, she had been playing with Oscar for a long time, it was almost seven o’clock. And Elijah didn’t call her.
Today was her birthday.
Didn’t he remember her birthday? Why hadn’t I called or celebrated with him till now!
She was thinking, she didn’t remember who her parents were, how could she still have a birthday? This birthday must be made up randomly. It was strange that even Philip knew her birthday!
However, she received Philip’s blessing and received a gift from Hudson, but Elijah was the only one who didn’t.
Today, Elijah was a bit busy.
By seven o’clock in the evening, he was still dealing with things.
“Kattie, assign these documents to all the department heads.” After reviewing the last few documents, Elijah said in a deep voice to Kattie.
“Yes.” Kattie took it and sent the document.
Elijah glanced at his watch. Today was the babe’s birthday. He didn’t forget it. He had already called and booked a table at the restaurant. Although it was late, at least he was done, and he ordered some flowers.
Only then was he ready to leave.
Taking his suit, he hurried out.
Kattie, who had sent the documents and hurried off work, just came from the corner of the corridor, and the two collided head-on.
“Ah…” Kattie screamed, completely caught off guard, her high heels tilted, and she fell backward, Elijah reached out and hooked her waist, gently, because the fall was a bit fierce, she slipped and fell onto Elijah’s chest, her red lips were printed on his white shirt.
“Ah! I’m sorry, Elijah!” Kattie apologized awkwardly, and immediately stood up, “I was not careful!”
“It’s okay! I was in a hurry too!” Elijah smiled and helped her up. “I gotta go first!”
He looked at his watch again, he was in a hurry!
He didn’t know where that little girl was now, so he was dialing the phone while walking.
And Kattie behind him was stroking her chest. It was an accident just now, but his chest was so strong, what a pity it didn’t belong to her, but how could she make him belong to her?
With eyes moving, she watched his back and walked into the president’s elevator. Only then did she stop her emotions and prepared to get off work.
Finally, she received a call from Elijah, and all of Esther’s grievances disappeared the moment she received the call.
But he didn’t mention her birthday, but said in a deep voice, “Where are you?”
A little disappointed, but she still said, “At Lena’s house!”
“I’ll pick you up! Go out of the alley when I get there! I will be there in twenty minutes!” He said in a deep voice and hung up the phone.
Esther looked at the phone and said to Oscar, “Oscar, cutie, are you okay coming with me to have a big meal?”
Oscar smiled and babbled. “Big, big…”
“When will he speak?” Esther was suddenly anxious.
“He is only eleven months, maybe until after he is a year old! It should be soon!” Lena said.
“Yeah! I’m just waiting for him to speak!”
Twenty minutes later, someone appeared on time outside the alley of Lena’s house. Esther then left with her bag! When she walked to the alley, she saw the Veyron parked at the alley, and someone was leaning at the front of the car waiting for her.
The slender figure leaned against the door, revealing ultimate laziness and handsomeness, his face like a crown jade, his eyebrows like a sword, lips red and white teeth, he looked extremely handsome! This described Elijah, right?
She looked at him from a distance, her heart beating abruptly.
Seeing her approaching, his hands were behind his back.
When she walked in, he suddenly took out flowers from behind, and then said to her with deep emotions, “Happy birthday!”
She was stunned for a moment and then smiled in surprise. “You remembered?”
“Of course!” He said solemnly, “Get in the car!”
Esther was holding the red roses. Although it was a bit vulgar, it represented love. She still held the flowers with pleasure. The door opened, and he invited her to get in the car like a gentleman.
He chose PUB deliberately, and he even had booked the whole place. He bought a three-layered birthday cake for their candlelight dinner.
He sang the birthday song himself.
When the singing ended, the lights dimmed, and only the candles were lit on the cake. She stood in front of the cake, folded her hands happily, and blew out the candles.
“Happy birthday!” He said deep in her ear.
Esther’s pale face was blushed. “Thank you!”
He suddenly turned out a fluffy box with a necklace glowing brightly in his hand. When she was still surprised and astonished, he helped her put it on.
“I hope it can hold you, as long as a diamond!”
They ate the warm and romantic dinner till ten o’clock, then the two of them returned to the apartment.
However, when the light was turned on, Esther’s gaze suddenly saw the bright red traces of lipstick print on his neckline. Her eyes stopped for a moment, thinking that she was dazzled, so she rubbed her eyes, but it was still there!
She felt her eyes tingling suddenly, a bit astringent pain.
