“Let’s not talk about it anymore.” Andy said. “I need to quickly go buy coffee and cake! If I’m late, Mr.
Everett will get angry again.”
“Well, you should go quickly then.” Mark said.
Andy did not say anything else. He hurriedly took the car key and left the Everett Group.
Half an hour later, Andy arrived at the Haynes Group, panting and carrying the coffee and cake.
“Andy, why are you here?” Cora asked. She was surprised to see Andy running so quickly.
Andy said breathlessly, “Um. Mr. Everett asked me to buy coffee and cake and bring them here. Where
is Mr. Everett?”
“Oh, Mr. Everett is in Miss Haynes’s office,” Cora said.
“I’ll send the things to Mr. Everett first!” Andy said, not bothering to exchange pleasantries. He hurriedly
ran toward the
ollice.
“Knock! Knock! Knock!”
Bruce heard the knock on the door. He then personally went over to open it.
Seeing that it was Bruce who opened the door, Andy was shocked. He quickly handed the bag to
Bruce. “Mr. Everett, coffee and cake from Skyluxe,” he said.
“Okay,” Bruce said. He took the bag and closed the office door with a bang.
Joanna ignored Bruce and focused on her work.
Bruce could not help but sneer inwardly when he watched Joanna working seriously.
He thought, “What’s the point of working so hard?
“Even if you work until you drop, you won’t make much money. You might as well cozy up to me!
“It’s a pity that this damn woman is stubborn and wants to bring trouble to herself!”
Bruce placed the bag on the desk. His expression was still tense. “This is for you!” he said.
Joanna gave him a skeptical glance and asked, “What is this?”
Bruce said, “Coffee and cake!
“From now on, you are to only eat the food that I buy!” Bruce was tall. He sat at the corner of the desk.
“You’re crazy!” Joamma muttered under her breath. She then continued to lower her head and work,
not touching the things he had bought
After a while, seeing that she did not move, Bruce touched her chin in annoyance and personally
unpacked the coffee and cake, placing them in front of her.
“Stop being stubborn!” Bruce said. “Hurry up and drink it, or it will get cold later.”
He clearly wanted to please her, but when he spoke, he somehow sounded rude.
“I’m not eating,” Joanna said. “Move it aside!”
Bruce was left speechless. He looked displeased.

“Alright, alright,” Bruce said. “It’s fine if you don’t want to eat it. I’ll throw it into the trash can now!”
As Bruce spoke, he angrily picked up the coffee and cake, intending to throw them into the trash can.
Upon seeing this. Joanna choked in anger. “Hey, these are all bought with mongy” she said. “Even if I This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
don’t eat them, you can give them to someone else!”
“If you don’t eat it, is there a need to give it to someone else?” Bruce said.
Joanna gritted her teeth in anger. “Forget it,” she said. “Just leave it there!”
“You should have said so earlier!” Bruce said.
Joanna had no choice but to take a sip of coffee.
When Bruce saw Joanna drink the coffee, he smirked. He then turned around and sat on the sofa,
pretending to read the
newspaper.
Joanna rolled her eyes at him fiercely and went back to work.
“This possessive and domineering man is really making people hate him to the extreme!” Joanna
thought.
At the Haynes’s house.
Roxanne had been lying on the sofa all day today, looking listless.
While Ingrid was using a beauty device to massage her face, she curiously looked at her daughter.
“Roxy, why didn’t you go out today?” she asked.
Roxanne replied casually, “I’m not in the mood.”
“Weren’t you with Bruce yesterday?” Ingrid asked. “Where did you guys go?”
Upon hearing the question, Roxanne felt fretful. “Mom, stop asking!” she said.
Sensing that her daughter sounded off, Ingrid stopped using the beauty device to massage her face.
“What’s going on?” she said. “Quick, tell me!”
“Mom, you’re annoying.” Roxanne said. “Can you leave me alone for a while?”
Ingrid stood
up
and sat next to Roxanne. She then said, “Roxy, we can’t let anything go wrong at this critical juncture!
“Did you have a conflict with Bruce again? Quick, call him and clarify things!”
Roxanne said impatiently, “He’s busy now! He’s not free!”
“No matter how busy he is, you can still accompany him!” Ingrid said. “He can’t be busy twenty–four
hours a day!”
Roxanne said, “I waited for the whole afternoon at the company yesterday, but in the end…”
“What happened in the end?” Ingrid asked.
“In the end, he didn’t even say a few words to me,” Roxanne said. “He immediately asked the driver to
send me back home.”
Upon hearing that, Ingrid widened her eyes and said. “Send you back home? Then where did you go
last night?”
When Roxanne heard that, she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
“1. um, I didn’t go there!” Roxanne said.
Ingrid suddenly raised her voice and said, “Roxy, you didn’t go to see that poor guy, did you?”
12:48 FTI,
‘I didn’t!” Roxanne said, her eyes shifting slightly.
You didn’t, huh?” Ingrid said. “If you didn’t go to see him, why are you avoiding eye contact?
It’s not that I want to reprimand you, but this kind of poor guy shouldn’t be messed with. Once you get
involved, it’s hard to get rid of them!
‘Quick, call Mr. Everett now!”
Tm not going to call!” Roxanne said.
“Hurry up!” Ingrid said. “You have to strike while the iron is hot. It’s a rare opportunity for you to take
advantage of Margaret’s illness to ease your relationship with him!
“It’s a critical time now, so you shouldn’t give him the silent treatment. Listen to me, be accommodating.
No matter what, we can’t let anything go wrong with the marriage.”
Roxanne had no choice but to take out her phone and call Bruce.
Beep, beep, beep!
Bruce’s phone rang.
