chapter 142 – I’ll think you’re in love with me
He stood there, looking at her quietly for a long time, his eyes too deep to see the bottom, for a moment, walked over, lifted his foot and kicked her calf, his voice was cold and hard, “Phoebe Barnes, have your guts been on growth hormone lately? Run to sleep in my office.”
“Huh?” The woman was coldly awakened and looked at him with a dumbfounded little face.
Kemp Ross’ throat bones rolled soundlessly, narrowing his eyes and making his voice colder, “Stupid?”
Phoebe Barnes froze and hurriedly stood up, slapped her head, and said in embarrassment, “You’re back?”
“Answer me, how did you end up in my office? Who brought you in?”
“Campbell Butler!” Phoebe Barnes heart shuddered, directly betrayed teammates, plus some blushing, not dare to look at him, stumbled to explain, “I, I I do not have to shoot today, made lunch to bring you here. ”
“…”
The man frowned and stared at her strangely for a few seconds, and then swept a glance at the package on the table, and even snorted softly out, “Phoebe Barnes, are you kicked in the head by a donkey or suddenly into the water, to come here to bring me food? You’re not afraid of being caught on camera having an affair with me? Or did you just want to see that happen?”
Phoebe Barnes’ small hands unconsciously clenched the corner of her coat, her face a little embarrassed, “It’s not what you think, I didn’t think that much, I just wanted to come and see you.”
The man approached her and lifted her jaw, a cool smile appeared on his handsome face, “Which drama is this line from again? Say it so melodramatically, I’ll think you’re in love with me.”
Phoebe Barnes was stunned and suddenly pulled her lips into a light smile and looked him in the eyes, “You are confident that all the women in Jiangcheng love you, so why don’t you believe that I will fall in love with you? Am I that special in your eyes?”
The man’s body obviously stiffened, his face suddenly condensed powerful, fingertip strength increased, cold voice: “brain is not enough to play with my mind, but is courageous, what is the kind of cheap love you say? This face of mine? The endless amount of money behind me? Or my status in Jiangcheng? Don’t tell me that you’ve been fucked out of your mind and are obsessed with my body.”
“…”
The atmosphere fell into a quiet staleness.
Phoebe Barnes’ mouth was a bitterness that could not be dissolved, blocking all the words she wanted to say, and her happy mood disappeared in a flash.
Kemp Ross glanced down to see her somewhat aggrieved and sad look, suddenly let go of his hand, sat down by himself, and said in a light voice: “Not the food delivery? You want to wait for me to die of hunger?”
Phoebe Barnes froze, then took a breath, calmed down, and took the lunchbox out and opened it.
Three dishes and one soup, two meat and one vegetable, look very appetizing.
Phoebe Barnes could not cook before she got married, and as the only child in the family, Phoebe’s fatherPhoebe’s mother almost never let her into the kitchen.
After the marriage, also considered to please the man, she took advantage of her free time to learn from Chen’s mother, plus their own research some recipes, but made a unique taste.
The man picked up his chopsticks and casually asked, “Have you eaten?”
“Uh … ate.” Phoebe Barnes nodded her head.
Bi Shui Yun Ju is very far from the company, originally she did not think of rushing, so take the subway to come, leaving very early, even if it is eaten, it is not considered lunch.
However, she only brought one person with her, thinking she would go back and fix it herself at the restaurant downstairs.
The man just glanced at her and ate on his own, silent, unhurried, natural and elegant.
The four weeks again fell into a state of silence, Phoebe Barnes propped up his chin, lying on the table, some lost in thought, looking at him, heart extremely fond of such a moment, mouth suddenly without thinking out, “Why do I have to make dinner for you to send to the company whenever I have time in the future.”
“…”
Kemp Ross looked up at her white face, “Are you bored that John Lu hasn’t had time to play with you lately?”
She is the kind of standard oriental, very dark hair, very dark eyes, but very white skin, delicate and small features, when not smiling, giving a cold and noble feeling, in front of him, and a few more quiet and well-behaved, like a long-raised pet, know how to look at the master’s face and curry favor.
“Why do you always bring him up in front of me?” Phoebe Barnes raised her eyes in some confusion, then her voice dropped and she cooed, “Or I’d think you were jealous of him.”
“You really can make a wall out of this cheek!” The man snorted coldly, “I get annoyed when he makes you idle, why do you think I brought him up?”
“You’re annoying me?” Phoebe Barnes’ eyes showed a hint of resignation.
“Or should I like you? Having a pet and knowing how to wag your tail at me, what else can you do but cause trouble for me?”
“…”
So she’s really that annoying in his mind?
Phoebe Barnes had some hard feelings in her heart, raised her eyes to look at him, saw his expressionless face, and said in a muffled voice, “Then I won’t bother you later, so eat quickly, I’ll get my lunch box and leave when I’m done.”
Kemp Ross, “…”
“Are you going to use this lunch box next time you bring me food? You’re so poor you’ve never seen a lunchbox before, right?”
Phoebe Barnes was dumbfounded, looking at his suddenly gloomy and handsome face, a little confused, “What else? This lunch box is very well insulated, it was found for me by Chen’s mother, it won’t break after using it once, so why don’t I use it next time?”
The man’s brow bone jumped, “You give me … a roll right now!”
“…”
…
Phoebe Barnes was thrown out, a face of depression under the mask, really could not understand why the man suddenly angry.
She touched her empty abdomen, curled her lip pitifully, looked around, and walked into a nearby restaurant.
As soon as Phoebe Barnes left the office, Campbell Butler returned to the president’s office and looked at the empty office and froze, “Ross, where’s the wife?”
“Get lost!”
“…”
Campbell Butler carefully looked at the man some bad face, hastened to take the initiative to admit the mistake, “Sorry Ross total, it was me who brought in the wife, I saw her downstairs by the receptionist to stop, so …”
“How is that project of Lin’s that you followed up on?” The man frowned and suddenly interrupted him in a cold voice.
Campbell Butler was stunned, some did not keep up with his jump in thinking, slowed down and said: “there is still one last process to be completed, but, recently, there is a small problem down there.”

Campbell Butler, “Someone from the Don family is deliberately causing trouble and trying to block the start of construction on our side of the land.”
“The Tang family?” Kemp Ross’s eyes narrowed a little, and his face gradually became cold.
Tang Mingchen?
The man at Mirror Lake Autumn Moon?
He asked carelessly, “How did you handle it?”
Campbell Butler wrinkled his brow and said, “We don’t have a partnership with Tang and don’t know why they are suddenly targeting us, so we are in the process of negotiating a settlement.”
