“Aunt.” He called out.
“Marvin, why didn’t you tell me initially that the girl you liked was Oriana. I didn’t expect that Oriana would be so stunning and beautiful, that both aunt and nephew would fall in love with her.”
Although Bounty’s tone was reproachable, she could not resist her love for Marvin. She should have known that the girl in Imperial was Oriana!
Marvin was silent for a while, then he changed the topic,
“Aunt, didn’t you go to grandma’s place for dinner?”
Bounty tugged at her phone angrily, and let out a sigh.
-“Everyone left unhappily. Your grandma is too partial!”
Bounty knew that she didn’t have much of her mother’s support at all. She also didn’t want her two grandsons to become more separated.
“You grandma said that even if you try to get Oriana back, that you definitely won’t be successful!” Bounty sounded a little disdainful.
“How could we not know how to win Oriana’s heart? If Oriana knows the type of person that Deacon is, and how terrifying he is, she would hastily leave him.” Bounty added angrily.
“Aunt.” Marvin called out calmly.
“Oriana likes my brother very much. He added indifferently.
Bounty went mute. She shook her head unbelievably and asked,
“Marvin, sp what do you mean? You wanna give up?”
Marvin did not answer immediately. After some time, his voice sounded extremely slowly,
“But, I also like her very much. Obviously, I met her first.”
The Armstead corporation.
Deacon was holding a high-level meeting in the VIP conference room.
The sales director was speaking about the quarter’s sales. The company’s executives who had blue badge around their necks were listening attentively.
Everyone focused was on the sales director, but there was an exception, and that was Deacon, who was sitting on the main seat.
Deacon was looking at his phone. He opened the social media and began going through it.
Deacon who had never been a fan of the internet, began browsing through it.
The internet was indeed buzzing.
“Two years ago, Marvin and Oriana carried out an operation on the Imperial.” Alongside the post was a picture of Marvin and the talented girl, Oriana.
The picture was taken in the pharmacy. Oriana had reached out and tugged at Marvin’s clothes. The reposts and comments which flowed in had reached a peak of traffic.
“Oriana is so awesome!”
“Academician Marvin and Oriana had joined forces together for that shocking surgery two years ago. It was all fate.”
“Although Oriana is already married, I just can’t help but think that this two are perfect match!”
Deacon placed his phone on the table. His handsome face was emotionless, but everyone could feel that the CEO was unhappy.
Everyone in the room were so frightened that they didn’t dare to breath loudly, for the feared that they would draw the CEO’s anger on themselves.
The meeting finally ended. Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Throughout the meeting, the CEO did nothing other than tap his fingers on the table and unbuttoned his shirt.
The meeting had gone quite smoothly, and it was now time for the close of work.
Deacon stood up and said indifferently.
“Have a rest y’all. Come to my room in ten for a financial meeting.”
“Okay, sir.” The workers chorused respectfully.
After that, Deacon walked on steady steps and left the meeting room.
Once the executives were certain that Deacon was out of sight, they let out a murmur.
They knew that, that was bound to be how the day would end. Whenever the CEO was in a bad mood, he would turn himself into a workaholic, thereby making them work overtime. “Secretary Andrew, what’s the matter with the president? Why is he in a very bad mood?” “Secretary Andrew, who offended the CEO?”
The executives grabbed Deacon’s private secretary and asked loudly.
Andrew shook his head and said professionally,
“This is the CEO’s personal issue. I really can’t say. Everyone, prepare for the meeting in ten. If anything goes wrong during the meeting, we all should prepare to stay here overnight.”
Andrew’s subtext was that the CEO’s issue wasn’t anyone’s buisness. But if the CEO wasn’t impressed later at the meeting, it’ll be everyone’s business, because, everyone would have to stay overnight untill the CEO was impressed with the outcome of the meeting.
In the CEO’s office, Andrew walked in with a cup of coffee and said respectfully,
“CEO, your coffee is here.”
Deacon was standing beside the window. The neon light reflected on his handsome face, making him more handsome.
Deacon dipped his left hand into his pocket and held his phone with his right hand. His handsome eyelids dropped down, and he focused on the phone.
Andrew placed the coffee on the desk and muttered hesitantly,
“CEO, if you want to call your wife, then go ahead and call her. It’s very late now, should be on her way home, If not home.”
and your wife
Andrew saw Deacon go through the internet over and over again. During the meeting. Deacon was still browsing through the internet. Andrew had been with Deacon for six years. His CEO was slowly doing things that he had never done before. He could feel that his CEO was changing for his wife’s sake. Andrew did not know if he was thinking right or not. But all he knew was that his CEO treated his wife with love and care.
Deacon retracted his phone. He looked at the neon sign outside the window and said in a low voice,
“She’s a good girl. She will come back if she wants.”
Andrew brought the coffee over to where he stood.
“CEO, why do you think so? It’s normal for husband and wife to be jealous sometimes. If you wanna check up on her, then go ahead.”
Deacon knew that he really wanted calling her. It was the best and logical thing to do. And he also wanted her explain why she had dragged Marvin’s shirt.
However, Deacon didn’t place the call.
He stood quitely at the window side as if he had nothing doing. The words of Bounty kept echoing in his ears.
Bounty had urged him to let go of Oriana. And that she belonged to Marvin, since he met her first. A raging fire was already burning in his chest. He felt jealous, suspicious, mindful, and gloomy all at once.
But Deacon did not express his feelings. He suppressed all the turmoils in his heart, and tried to act as though he was not bothered.
He curved his thin lips into a shallow arc, and finally said in a low voice,
“She has always made me believe in her. I’m busy at the moment, so I believe that she’s fine.
The financial meeting was held in the CEO’s office. Deacon had taken his sit on the main seat after finishing two sticks of cigarettes.
The financial director handed over the report to him. Deacon knocked the files away sharply.
“Is this what you made?”
The chief financial officer looked aggrieved. He was only given ten minutes, it was not easy for him to sort out the files within such time frame.
Deacon raised his hand and threw the report into the air, causing the paper to fly.
Immediately Deacon was done speaking, the office fell into a suppressed state.
The door knob clicked, and the door opened. A slender white hand reached out and pushed the door. Then, a palm–sized face quietly came into view, with a pair of clear and dark eyes poring into the office.
The executives diverted their gaze to the figure. They wondered who it was, and why she would dare to appear in the CEO’s private lounge.
