“Mr. George, can we join you?” Although it was an inquiry, Hank had already sat down and incidentally beckoned the waiter to start ordering.
Dennis pursed his lips and didn’t say much.
Inadvertently see Dennis’s mouth corner stained with something, I pulled the paper towel naturally reached out to him to wipe, not intentionally, just think of his hands are not convenient, so I did it myself.
Dennis froze a little and I spoke up, “You’re so old, you’re still so careless about eating, you’re getting it all over your mouth.”
Perhaps my action is too sudden, he slightly froze for a moment after a pair of black eyes flooded with laughter, looks good mood.
As an afterthought, I noticed Hank frowning and looking down to avoid Dennis and I. I couldn’t help but feel that this was a little too much, as if it was okay to show affection in front of him.
But if you open your mouth to explain, it seems too deliberate, so you end up saying nothing, just quietly eating breakfast.
After breakfast, Dennis followed me to the base under the pretext that he needed my care. Most of his documents and meetings were changed to video, so his work was kept in the office.
I was busy at the base and from time to time he would call away on the grounds that his hands were not handy and he needed me to pour water or to help him send papers.
So much so that, my base and his two care, it is a little tired.
Just coming out of Dennis’ office after sending him an email, Rudolph handed me a bottle of water and laughed, “Looks like Mr. George is here to watch his daughter-in-law today!”
I froze for a moment and blushed a little, “No, Mr. Macey you misunderstood, he came with me to this side of the base because his hand was injured yesterday and many things were not very convenient.”
He smiled, “I don’t think so, otherwise he wouldn’t have specifically picked the time when Hank was talking to you to call you away.”
I froze and smiled instead.
Indeed, as Rudolph said, every time Hank asked to speak to me, Dennis called, causing Hank to speak only halfway every time.
Seeing me laugh, Rudolph snickered, “Looks like you’re going to be a bit tired today!”
Who says otherwise!
While we were talking, Hank came in with a bag of fruit, and after giving some to the staff, he came up to me and said, “Clara, the assistant brought some fruit, you’re tired, take a break and eat some fruit!”
Before I could say anything, the phone rang.
Rudolph snorted out a laugh, then grabbed a fruit and laughed, “Miss Kennedy, you need to get busy again.”
I can’t help but sigh, it’s still true.
Not surprisingly, it was indeed Dennis who called.
I picked up the phone and Dennis’ low voice came through, “I want some water!”
I held my forehead, “Didn’t I put it on the table for you?”
“Drink up!” He opened his mouth and said it as a matter of course.
I nodded, “Yes!”
Then, hanging up the phone, I looked at Hank and spoke, “Sorry, I have things to do, I’ll go first.”
Then he turned right around and went into the office.
Office.
Dennis leaned back lazily in his chair with a Bluetooth headset in his ear, seemingly still in a meeting, and saw the glass of water that hadn’t been touched on the table.
I was speechless, “Isn’t there water? Why did you ask me to come?”
Just like a little kid.
He raised his eyes and looked at me, his face was not red and he said, “Toby just came to pour, he brought pastries, you cut some out!”
I frowned, “He’s all here, can’t he get it all done for you before he leaves?”
“Busy!” After saying that, he turned to his computer and continued the meeting.
I am speechless.
But still, he cut a portion of the cake Toby brought and placed it in front of him, and spoke, “Eat!”
He raised an eyebrow, “You’re not eating?”
“I’m on a diet!” I was just told I was fat in the morning and now I’m being told to eat these desserts.
He said into the video, “OK, the meeting is over.”
Then he took off his headphones and put them down and looked at me and said, “What do you want to eat?”
I ??????
“Dennis, I’m at work now!”
He nodded, “Well, I’ll have Toby send it over.”
“Not hungry!” This is the man who came here to get a job.
Seeing me like this, he raised his eyebrows, did not open his mouth, just put the pastry in front of me, and then his slender fingers tapped slowly on the keyboard, because his hand was injured, so his movements were not very fast, and also looked a little twisted.
I looked at it and opened my mouth, but before I could say anything to help him.
There was a knock on the office door and Dennis spoke indifferently, “Come in!”
The person who came in was Olivia, carrying a thermos lunchbox in her hand. When she saw us all there, she froze, but only for a few seconds, then looked at Dennis, looked at his hand with concern, and said, “Dennis, how is your hand? I toned pork rib soup to tonic you.”
Said, people have gone to the desk, she put down the insulation box in her hands, open, but is extraordinarily familiar, gentle and virtuous movements.
Dennis saw that it was her, raised his eyebrows and said, “It’s okay, thanks!” The words were calm and indifferent.
Olivia looked at him like this, her face showed some guilt and self-reproach, and spoke, “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t always play childish when you are driving, and affect you, I was wrong, I promise I really won’t in the future.”
Dennis pursed his lips, his words were light, “Nothing!”
Olivia looked at him, standing next to her with her hands intertwined, watched Dennis move slowly tapping on the keyboard, and immediately said, “Dennis, are you sending an email? Why don’t you have your soup first and I’ll help you with your email.”
With that, she moved closer to Dennis, ready to take the keyboard from him, but she was avoided by Dennis before she could touch it.
Dennis frowned slightly, his voice low, “This is a company document, outsiders are not suitable to interfere, it’s all company privacy!”
Olivia’s hand stiffened, half a day before she withdrew it, a smile pulled out of her stiff face, somewhat out of place, “That’s right, it’s all company secrets, I shouldn’t have touched it, I’m sorry, Dennis, I was ill-considered.”
Dennis hmmed and said lightly, “It’s okay!”
I was thinking that Olivia was here too, so it was just as well that I had nothing to do, so I could go out and work on my own. Before I could say anything, I saw Dennis look up, his eyes fell on me, and spoke, “Clara, come here and give me the file!”
I froze and said after a pause, “I’m not appropriate, am I? And I’m not a fast typist either.”
“It’s okay, just type what I say!” With that, he got up from his position and made room for me.
I frowned and was just about to say something when he pulled me into a chair and he spoke up, “the George Group affiliate …”
After typing part of the word, I couldn’t help but look up at him, “These are your working documents, involving the company’s trade secrets, it’s not appropriate!”
