“I just don’t think you have to fight with each other.”
“It’s not up to you whether we have to.” He said with a bit of cruelty in his voice, “People have to stick to their own goals. I will fight for it. If I lose, I’ll accept it.”
I sighed and didn’t know what to say for a moment. I couldn’t do anything about his obsession.
I didn’t need him to send me back. Seeing that the rain was much lighter, I went straight into the rain. He followed me and said, “I’ll drive you home.”
“No need!” I refused with a firm attitude, but he was so stubborn that he wouldn’t let me go.
“Even if you don’t need me to send you home, you should take the umbrella.” He reached out and handed the umbrella to me with a tough attitude.
I didn’t take it, but he directly pulled me and let me hold the umbrella. Then he held my hand and didn’t allow me to throw it away.
I stopped and looked at him. My face turned sullen. “If someone takes a photo of us now, Dennis will be even angrier. You’ll not only lose your company but also be sent to jail.”
He sneered, “So what? In the business world, it’s just a matter of life and death. Since I can’t win him, I will lose. But Clara, I will never give up on you.”
I was a little angry, “Hank, I know you have your persistence and pursuit, and so do I. I will try my best to pursue what I want. I really don’t know what you are going to do, but I know what I want.”
He looked at me with his deep eyes and asked, “Then what do you want?”
“A home with Dennis!” I said it without hesitation.
A gust of strong wind blew the umbrella away.
The cold wind blew. He smiled with pain. “Clara, do you know how it feels after hearing your words?”
I didn’t say anything. I took a step back and walked to the car.
Everyone’s path had been set from the moment they were born.
I was not greedy. I only wanted Dennis.
I saw Dennis’s car at an intersection in the city center. It seemed that he was finding me.
Seeing his black car, I pulled over.
Dennis got out of the car. Although the rain was not heavy, he still got wet.
He got in my car and I handed him a tissue. “You come here to pick me up?”
Although his bodyguards didn’t follow me openly, I knew they were after me all the time.
Although it was an accident to meet Hank, the bodyguards also reported everything to Dennis.
I didn’t mean to hide it from him. Anyway, even if the bodyguards didn’t report it, the media were so sharp-eyed that they would make it a piece of hot news and let Dennis see the photos.
He wiped the water on his body and looked at me as gently as ever. “If I say I’m passing by, will you believe me?”
I shook my head, “No!”
He smiled, “What do you want to do later?”
I thought for a while and said, “Karina’s kid has a fever. It’s useless for me to go there. I planned to go back to the villa. Tomorrow is the new year’s day, so I’m going to the supermarket. How about you? Have you finished your work?”
He reached out his hand and held mine. Then he said, “Let’s go shopping together tonight. It’s raining and it’s cold outside. Can you go with me to the company?”
It seemed that I couldn’t refuse this. I nodded, started the car, and drove directly to the underground parking of the George Group.
I would never park my car in the garage without him. After the accident that had happened before, I was always alert.
The George Group had a lot of employees. Fortunately, Dennis and I went upstairs by the president’s elevator.
Dennis had a meeting. I had nothing else to do, so I could only wander around in his office.
As soon as I found a magazine and sat down, someone knocked at the door. I said, “Come in, please!”
A young woman came in. She was about twenty years old. She looked very young, beautiful, hot, and sexy. What a stunning woman!
At the sight of me, the woman was slightly stunned. She said in a gentle voice, “Hello, I’m looking for Mr. George.”
I smiled, “He’s in the meeting room. He won’t come out until a while later.”
She nodded, looked at me up and down, and said politely, “Okay, thank you!”
Then she went out.
I looked at the magazine and couldn’t help smiling. Dennis always had pursuers.
Toby came in to bring some documents. Seeing that I was reading a magazine, he said, “Mrs. George, I’ll get you a glass of juice.”
I smiled, “Thank you!”
When he came in again with the glass of juice, I closed the magazine and looked at him. “Is the George Group also going to develop AI technology?”
“Well, the current international trend is AI technology. Now the George Group has high-developed groups in all fields and looks great, but no one knows whether those projects will be replaced by something new. Therefore, we have also invested a part of the capital in Al technology.”
I nodded and then said. “Who is the person in charge of this? I have been in the Gibson group for some time, and I have talked to Stones Washington from JD Technology, so I know something about this.”
Toby put the juice in front of me and said, “It is an expert who has just come back from the university abroad. She has in-depth research on AI and is also a professional technology engineer.”
I raised the glass and took a sip. Then I said, “She should be young and promising.”
Toby nodded and said, “Yes. She is a twenty-five-year-old girl with good working ability and attitude. She was invited back by Mr. George from abroad in person. I’ve talked to her several times. She’s an outstanding talent.”
It must be a talented girl since Toby made such a comment on her.
I couldn’t help asking, “It sounds cool. What’s her name?”
“Sheila Torres, a young girl.”
I shouldn’t ask too much about that girl. I smiled and looked at him. “Okay, you can go ahead with your work. I will read the magazine.”
Sheila Torres.
An hour later, Dennis came out of the meeting room.
I feel sleepy.
Noticing that something was covering me, I was a little stunned and opened my eyes. Then I met his eyes.
He smiled, “Don’t sleep now. Or you can’t sleep at night.”
I sat up straight and lay on his shoulder, closing my eyes and pretending to sleep. “I can!”
He smiled, “It’s not good to be so drowsy.”
I said yes, and leaned against his body quietly.
He didn’t move and let me adjust a comfortable posture to continue sleeping.
“Rat-a-tat!” Someone knocked on the door.
Dennis lowered his voice, “Come in!”
The sound of high-heeled shoes came in, followed by the sweet voice of a woman. “Mr. George, the first draft of the new product has been finished. You need to have a look. If there is any problem, I will modify it.”
Dennis moved so lightly that I could hardly feel his movement. I heard the sound of a book opening. Obviously, he was reading a document.
“There’s no big problem. You can ask other engineers to check it. Then discuss with them before you use it.”
Dennis’s voice was not loud. Obviously, he was afraid of waking me up.
“Well, I’ll go back to my work now.” The woman said.
The sound of high-heeled shoes disappeared. I leaned on Dennis’s shoulder and didn’t move.
But Dennis’s deep and sexy voice sounded, “She has left. When will you wake up?”
I was surprised.
