Wendy nodded and spoke up animatedly, “Yes Mrs. George, bring it to you right away.”
Looking at her extraordinarily lively appearance, I froze for a moment and said with a light smile, “Vibrant girls, so nice!”
Dennis embraced me into the elevator and spoke, “Want some sushi?”
Don’t say, he said, I really want a little bit, but said whatever, this and make a request with people, seems not very polite.
When I saw Dennis reach for his phone, I thought he was going to call Wendy, so I quickly said, “No, we’ll go eat tonight when you’re done, so don’t bother anyone here.”
He raised an eyebrow and spoke, “I’ll call Toby and ask about Macao.”
I froze and blushed, it seems I was making a fool of myself.
Watching me bow my head in embarrassment, he couldn’t help but smile lightly.
Once in the office, Dennis got busy with the company’s business, and I had nothing to do so I sat on the couch and played with my phone.
Edward’s message popped up, “I miss you.” I almost didn’t throw the phone out, eased up a bit in suppressing the psychological disgust and typed a question mark in the past.
He replied almost in seconds, “What do you think would happen if Dennis knew that the person I liked was you, according to his character?”
I suppressed my nausea and typed, “He’ll get you killed, no hesitation.”
What came back to me was a string of ha-ha-ha’s, then he said, “This game is getting fun, I can actually really help you with your daughter’s kidney, if you ask, your daughter can be operated on right away.”
I don’t know where he got the confidence, some warm anger, “Don’t be disgusting!”
Whether he has a suitable kidney or not, I don’t want to have any contact with this man who is not what he appears to be.
The office door was opened and the person who came in was Wendy, carrying a lunch box with a vibrant smile on her face, and she spoke, “Mr. George, Mrs. George, lunch is bought, you are hungry!”
I put away the phone, get up and result in the lunch in her hand, smiling and opening my mouth to say thank you, “Thank you, please.” My eyes inadvertently fell on the watch on her wrist and froze slightly.
“Mrs. George you are too kind, these are what I should do.” With that, she was ready to go out.
I hesitated and spoke anyway, “Your watch is so pretty, it looks great against your skin tone.”
She froze for a moment and laughed, “It’s okay, it’s not very expensive, it’s more suitable for us office workers to wear.”
I nodded, following her words, “It does suit you quite well.”
She smiled, and then went out.
I carried the bag and couldn’t help but be slightly distracted.
“Thinking about what?” Dennis walked over to me, took the bag in my hand by hand, and pulled me down to sit on the couch.
Seeing him take out all the lunch boxes from the bag with my favorite sushi, I froze and looked at him and said, “Did you just talk to her?”
He smiled lightly, “If you like to eat, it is natural to satisfy you.”
I pursed my lips and looked at him instead, “Dennis, I remember when you showed me that employee promotion form earlier, Wendy hadn’t qualified for the promotion yet, so why did you suddenly let her get a promotion, and a secretary at that?”
He raced a piece of sushi into my mouth and laughed, “It was Trevor, he begged me to give Wendy a promotion at the front desk’s salary, just a different position, she was left with after effects from her last hospitalization and felt she was the secretary, not the front desk, so she made a lot of noise over it.”
I purse my lips, can’t help but frown, so the problem is here, Wendy in a way, is to save Dennis, if she has this kind of request, not much, not to mention that she also used the after-effects of such things as an excuse, Dennis has no reason to refuse.
Seeing my frown, he spoke, “Don’t you think it’s good?”
I smiled lightly and shook my head, “No, it’s quite tasty, I just feel like I’ve gained weight recently.”
He laughed helplessly, “You’re pregnant now, how can you think about losing weight? Eat more, besides, not fat!”
Mario’s test results were not available and we had to wait for a while. I always had too much curiosity about Barbara, who seemed to have a mystery on her.
After eating, Dennis was busy with the company and I messaged Barbara to ask what she was up to, but to my surprise, Karina called.
Before I could say anything, she said, “Clara, are you busy?”
I froze with a smile and shook my head, “Nope, in Dennis’ company, just had lunch, did you have lunch?”
She hmmed and spoke, “Didn’t I say earlier that I asked you to accompany me for a wedding dress fitting, do you have time this afternoon?”
Looking at Dennis who was busy, I nodded, “Well, there just happens to be nothing going on, you’re there, send me an address, I’ll come over later.”
“No, we are not far from your place, we will drive over to pick you up later, you just wait for us at the George Group.”
When I hung up the phone, I got up and walked over to Dennis and saw him and Toby talking as if he was asking Toby to find a kidney source, I froze and spoke, “Dennis, I’m going out with Karina in a few minutes.”
He looked up at me, “Shopping?”
I shook my head, “I told you she was getting married, she asked me to go with her to the wedding dress store to try on a wedding dress, you know, she had no friends in City P, so she could only find me.”
He nodded, and his warm palm fell on my stomach and touched it, “Be safe, and contact me first if anything happens.”
I smiled lightly, kissed him and said, “Don’t you always have bodyguards following me?”
He was a bit surprised and raised an eyebrow, “You knew?”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Every time there is a difficulty they even appear, I do not know also difficult!”
“I feel more comfortable with them following you!”
I nodded, knowing his good intentions, and saw him to say goodbye, I went downstairs to wait for Karina in the lobby, and saw a few girls at the front desk chatting together, and when they saw me coming down, they all smiled and said hello, and automatically kept quiet.
Seeing a few green mangoes placed at the foot of the front counter, I was a bit surprised and couldn’t help but say, “Where did you buy the green mangoes, they don’t seem to be available these days.”
After all, it’s out of season and City P is in the north, so it’s hard to buy ordinary mangoes, not to mention green mangoes.
One of the receptionist smiled awkwardly and said, “not bought, is Secretary Miller sent, their hometown is the south, I heard that there are still some at home, she specially let the family mail over, Mrs. George you also like to eat? Do you want to bring one?”
I looked at the few green mangoes, smiled and said, “No, I’m just curious, how there are still mangoes in the north in this season, you guys keep them to eat.”
After that, I walked out of the hall, Karina and Alan came faster.
