Chapter 77
Melanie heard a voice say, “Leave it to me.”
Her employees shouldn’t be knocking on the CEO’s office door first thing in the morning since they had just started work.
As she hesitated, a voice sounded outside the door, “Ms. Robertson, It’s the folks. from Prime Eats who brought your breakfast.”
Melanie was stunned for a moment.
She didn’t order breakfast with Prime Eats. And as far as she could remember, Prime Eats never served breakfast.
No doubt, it must have been Roderick’s arrangement.
Looking at the big meal on the table, Melanie thought of Roderick again.
She wondered if he had gone to bed after standing downstairs all night.
Melanie had become inadvertently concerned about him without even realizing it. Melanie blushed and thought, ‘Maybe I should give him a chance.
‘Perhaps I should try to accept him. After all, what happened back then is in the past, and I have moved on.
‘Even if it was his fault, it’s forgivable.
‘Ahem!‘
Melanie touched her burning face. She then changed her mind.
She’d promised herself she wouldn’t even think about dating until her mother’s affairs were settled.
She had spent much time on Roderick recently, which was unimaginable in the
past.
Sighing, Melanie remembered Roderick’s smile just before he got into the car. “This man truly captured my attention!‘ she thought.
However, Melanie didn’t know that Roderick had changed since he eat in the —–
Staying up all night didn’t change his noble aura but made him even more stern
and indifferent.
Roderick was sitting in the back seat with a pile of documents in his hand, frowning.
“Sir, how about you get some rest first? You didn’t sleep at all last night.” Bill cast a worried glance at Roderick seated in the back.
“No need,” Roderick responded without raising his head.
Despite not getting any sleep last night, he was very excited mentally and physically, not feeling tired at all.
Bill secretly glanced at the rearview mirror a few more times before turning to exchange glances with Richard.
Both of them expressed silently that their boss was overexcited.
Richard wanted to say something, but he repressed the urge and dutifully followed the driving protocol. “Guys, please pay attention to your driving and ensure smoothness and orderliness. Keep other cars from disturbing our boss.”
“Got it.
Richard silently shut the soundproof door and activated the soundproof system after getting responses from Ken, Mark, Louis, and John.
“Bill, do you think our boss’s self–inflicting trick worked last night?”
“What self–inflicted trick? This is clearly a tease between our boss and Ms. Robertson. Do you understand it or not?” Bill said.
“Really? Bill, how was it fun to be standing there like a statue all night? Everyone knows that our boss doesn’t like Darrin and wants to move to Harbour Villa,” Richard said with confidence.
“What? Do you have a problem with our boss?” Bill glanced at Richard fiercely.
“I just feel sorry for our boss. Will he stand outside again tonight if Ms. Robertson doesn’t open her heart this time?”
“It’s rare for you to think about these things.”
Bill glanced at him and urged, “So we have to get someone to help us.”
“Who can help me?” Richard frowned. “Dr. Gibson has left with his future wife. Who else can help our boss?”
“I’m telling you, we should go find Ethan and Elias. Things will move more smoothly and successfully if they are willing to help.” Bill looked thoughtful.
“Needless to say, his sons must be supporting our boss,” Richard said carelessly.
“You know nothing, you idiot!” Bill scolded inwardly when he glanced at Richard with disappointment.
“The two boys are close to Darrin. How do they know that he is trying to steal our boss’s woman?” Bill uttered.
This dawned on Richard, whose face lit up like a beacon. “That’s true, but it’s hard to speak it out.”
“How come? Don’t you get along well with the two kids?”
Bill glared at Richard. “I mean, our boss shouldn’t have been so nice to you. You can’t even get such a small thing done.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Richard was ashamed to hear this. “That’s not true. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. Humph. The affairs of our boss concern me.”
“Well, get it done nicely. Perhaps our boss will reward you with another house if you can get Ms. Robertson to come to the Lambert Manor,” Bill joked with a smile.
“Of course!” Richard smiled proudly as if he had invited Melanie into the Lambert Manor.
Such a diversion caused the car to bump. Bill was so frightened that he was going to open the soundproof door to check on Roderick.
To his surprise, he found that the soundproof door was open, and their boss was looking at them coldly.
“Sir, are you alright? The road is not in good condition. Did you get hurt?” Bill forced a smile, pretending to be calm.
“Humph.” Roderick glanced at Bill indifferently and then turned to the document
in his hand.
Bill then turned around and glared at Richard, who was driving. They exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.
Their boss would never smile at them again. Getting a “humph” from him was already a great pardon.
When the crisis was solved, they quietly closed the soundproof door and began to whisper.
“Bill, do you know why our boss suppressed those media reports about Ms. Robertson?”
“Are you a fool? Ms. Robertson doesn’t like it!” Bill remarked.
Richard nodded and made a turn skillfully.
“Yes, she is really different. So many people want to become a trending topic with our boss in Zerivia.”
“Nonsense! She won’t be special if she’s like other women.”
Richard chuckled, not taking Bill’s contempt into heart at all.
“Bill, do you think our boss can enter Harbour Villa as he wishes tonight?”
“Of course. He has to.” Bill’s face was full of confidence.
“I don’t think so. Could it be that she has no interest in men, just like our boss?” Richard was quite mysterious.
