Chapter 33 Something Behind the Story
He suddenly stopped in the midst of the story. I couldn’t help asking out of curiosity, “Then what happened?” My voice sounded hoarse because of my fierce blubber just now.
Hearing my question, he let out a smile and he dropped a gentle kiss on my forehead.
Then he continued, “Then my grandpa and I managed to get ourselves away from danger and we headed back inland. We were too flustered to get everything back during the escape. Luckily, we met a man and his sister, who were on their way from Capital to another country for business. We had to borrow money from them as we lost everything including our ID credentials and the cash. However, we didn’t expect that those outlaws were still on our tails. Because of that, both the man and his sister were involved in this disaster…”
Though he hadn’t finished, I could tell a lot from that.
“Were they Calvin and Olivia?” I said while looking at him.
He nodded, “Calvin got his heart injured. I brought him back to take care of him. Actually, he should have recovered. However, something wrong happened and his last wish was to commit his sister to my care.”
“Since they had saved you, why didn’t your grandpa agree on your marriage with Olivia?”
As far as I concerned, Freddy should have preferred his marriage with Olivia instead of me. After all, Olivia’s show-up was prior to me in his life. What was more, Olivia had saved him.
He suddenly let out a smiling face while looking at my eyes wide open, “You don’t feel like crying now?”
It was my first time to see his bright smile at me. He seemed to shake off his horrible and violent look. It was warm and kind.
I paused out of embarrassment. Then I broke away from his hug, “You haven’t answer me yet!”
“The rest isn’t worth telling. It’s late now. Time to sleep.” While speaking, he hugged me again and placed my hand on his crotch.
His husky voice sounded again, “Clara, now it’s your duty to extinguish the desire you lit up.”
Staring at him with my blushed face, I was shocked with my eyes wide open.
“But I am still unprepared…” my voice was timid.
However, driven my lust, he started to gasp heavier.
Not until a few hours later did we stop. He then took me to the bathroom to clean me up. After that, I fell into sound sleep in his hug.
In the next morning, the sunlight squeezed himself in from the gap of French sash and scattered on the ground, shining like candlelight.
Dennis had left for office to deal with his work. It took me quite a while to get up because of the late sleep last night. The scent of hormone still lingered in this messy room.
I was rendered a bit embarrassed as I recalled what happened last night.
I had never expected him to be so lust-driven.
It should be a common weekday for me. It had been 10:00 AM after I spruced myself up. As I didn’t have enough time for breakfast, I drove to the company.
I parked the car, entered the elevator and happened to meet Marcus. Both he and his secretary were holding a pile of files. He sneered while noticing me.
He mocked, “Miss Kennedy, you even learn to put on airs as if you were the CEO before you are formally promoted. Do you deem yourself the only one in charge now?”
The George Group firstly developed its business in the real estate industry. It started to expand its market to different industries during the recent years. Marcus actually ran his own company before. But due to the need for a greater capital, the George Group and Thomson Group had merged after the George was listed.
Marcus, as one of the shareholders, was also responsible for the management. Though I was also one of them who owed a share inherited from Freddy. It only took a mere proportion. Besides, Dennis still took control of my shares.
I started from nothing and it took me two years of struggle to be promoted as the director. Of course, the others only perceived that it would never cost me effort to be promoted because I was Mrs. George.
So from Marcus’s perspective, my position of the director was nothing but a freebie offered by Dennis. That was why he always looked down upon me.
I took a look at the files he was holding. It was one of the records of his electronic company he owed. It seemed that there was going to be an upcoming product.
“Mr. Thomson, there is no need to be exaggerating. The George Group will always remain as it has always been. I am just a dispensable director who asked for a two-day leave because of sickness. I am flattered to have your concern. But Mr. Thomson, you should get down to your own business first as you are still busy with it in case you make mistakes when fully occupied with trifles.”
I didn’t intend to be restrained as there were only three of us in the elevator. I still wanted to fight for my own self-esteem in front of his secretary.
As the door of the elevator opened, he had to hold back his urge of bickering. So he only replied with a cold glimpse before he walked out.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
I went into my office. Before I could sit down, Jackie entered and said to me, “Miss Kennedy, Mr. George is expecting you in his office.”
I wondered how Dennis noticed my arrival as I have just reached my office for seconds.
I still nodded though confused, “Okay, I will be right there.”
His office was spacious and quiet with no one else there. Perhaps only Dennis could adapt himself to such a boring atmosphere.
I scanned the whole office and saw Toby working on something with his computer in the office for secretary. I walked over and knocked on the door.
Hearing that, he raised up his head to look at me. He paused when seeing me, “Miss Kennedy. Mr. George is in the office of Mr. Thomson. He will be back soon.”
I nodded, “Okay, just get back to your work.”
Then I entered Dennis’s office, took a book from the shelf and started to read in the lobby area. There had been a bunch of things to be dealt with after the project of Stefan was finished. So I didn’t get much work from the company.
Perhaps this time Dennis asked me here to tell me something about my following schedule of work.
However, I started to hesitate when I suddenly recalled what I had planned for recently. Actually, I assumed Dennis would still remain indifferent to me. However, his greatly softening attitude seemed to change my mind.
I couldn’t help wondering what would be the price for the baby and myself if I still chose to leave.
“Dennis, you have promised to Calvin that you would take care of Olivia after his death. But think about what you have currently done to Olivia? Don’t you think you are hurting her and even the wish of her deceased brother? What’s more. Clara is never qualified enough to match you as your wife.”
I could tell from the anxious voice that it was Marcus who was talking.
Of course, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Instead, I happened to catch it as they talked loud while walking over.
When both of them entered the office, Marcus noticed me and frowned, “When did you come in?”
“Just a moment ago!” I answered and squinted at him, only to see his indifferent face.
“There will be two products of HY Technology waited to be launched this month. You need to keep an eye on the schedule and also the situation of JD Technology.” Said Dennis to me.
He then handed me the files on his desk and added, “Besides, the fiscal year is coming. And our cooperation with AC should be expired. Just go to the financial department and check it. If a renewal of the contract is necessary, you need to bear the duty to finish it. If not, go to Jo Turner Credit and make an appointment with Luis.”
