CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 I Lost My Pet

"He will understand what it means to reap what he has sown."

Lester listened, feeling a bit confused. He wanted to ask more questions, but Francis stood up and grabbed his coat from the couch, walking out.

As Francis walked away, a gust of wind lifted up some pieces of paper from the ground.

One scrap of paper lightly floated down and landed at Lester's feet, and he saw the incomplete words on it, which he could complete to the original word - DIVORCE.

From the doorway, Francis's voice, devoid of warmth, came to him. "Lester, bring her back to me before I find her."

Lester watched his disappearing figure, sighing heavily.

In truth, Francis's words had given him a few people of interest in mind, but he couldn't be certain yet.

Lester also got up and walked out. Nelson hurriedly approached him and asked, "How did it go?"

Lester shook his head and replied, "Let's search. They should still be in Linkland City."

"How do you know? Did Mr. Landau tell you that?" Nelson asked.

Lester patted his shoulder, not answering, and walked past him.

The next day...

Francis went to the office as usual, acting as if nothing had happened.

He informed everyone about the meeting, and Johnson was there too. The two of them met at the entrance and exchanged a glance.

"Frank, you don't look well. Did you not sleep well?" Johnson asked with a smile.

Francis raised a faint smile and replied, "My pet is lost. How can I sleep well?"

Johnson maintained his smile, pretending not to understand, saying, "What kind of pet is so important?"

"Take a guess."

Johnson frowned and thought for a moment, replying, "I heard you had a cat before. But I didn't see it when I visited you. Could it be that cat?"

Johnson didn't hand them over during the meeting because he knew very well that Francis would reject him.

Now that everyone was gone except Francis and him. He took them out now, clearly with a purpose.

Francis casually took the files and glanced at them. Then he threw them back on the table.

It was the expected reaction to Johnson. So, Johnson didn't get angry. He just smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Can't focus on the documents because you lost your pet?"

Francis pulled his tie a little and didn't rush to leave. He leaned back and calmly stared at Johnson.

Johnson then said, "Frank, do you need my help to find your pet?"

"No need. Your proposals are not good."

"What's wrong with them?"

"As someone who has been a vice president of this company for so long, how could you not see the problems? Or do you think I'm so easy to fool?"
