Devil President's Night Bride novel Chapter 16

When Darren sat in the office, his assistant Sophie knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Darren, the general manager of Cheng Group is waiting for you in the reception room. He wants to have a meeting with you from 9:00 to 9:30."

"No, I don't want to see him." said Darren, waving his hand lazily.

Sophie turned to arrange accordingly. When she opened the door, Darren suddenly stopped her. She looked back at him curiously and wondered, Mr. Darren is always a decisive and efficient man. Why was there doubt on his face? Cheng Group is just a small company. Comparing with An Group, it's just too small. Why should Mr. Darren care about it?

"Tell him to go to the conference room in ten minutes." Said Darren in a low voice.

Sophie went to the reception room and smiled politely, "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Darren is busy now. He will meet you in conference room in ten minutes. Please wait for a moment."

Charles stood up in a hurry and said with a smile, "Thanks for your help, Sophie."

Through his eyes, Sophie was dressed in a white uniform with black stripes, which outlined the attractive V line on the collar. Plus, Sophie had a delicate and indifferent face. If a beauty like her came to his side, his life would be more relaxed than that of the heavens hall.

Sophie struggled through her career step by step, she saw through Charles's mind at a glance. After reporting to him, she turned around and left.

"Sophie, who is Mr. Darren meeting?" When Nancy came out of the tea room and saw Sophie, she greeted her with a smile.

"It is just the general manager of Cheng Group," answered Sophie.

"I heard that man is a ruffian." Nancy sighed and shook her head, "I really don't know how come family like Cheng family can marry Mr. Darren. It's really losing out."

Sophie said calmly, "This is none of our business. Mr. Darren needs to read the report for next month. Send it to my office later."

Nancy stood up and escorted Sophie off. Her face changed immediately, 'She is just an assistant. How come she is even more arrogant than me, a manager. Well, but she is Mr. Darren's assistant, is more omnipotent than me in front of Mr. Darren.' she thought.

Charles came here to talk with Darren about the withdrawal of the capital yesterday. He remembered that Darren had given the order to continue the cooperation with him last night, but the capital was still locked in the bank. The head of the bank was playing Tai Chi with him and wanted him to give some money secretly, which was too much for Charles, so he wanted to take the opportunity to look for his brother-in-law and bond with him as well. Usually, Charles had no right to make friends with people like Mr. Darren.

Sitting in the reception room, Charles waited for a long time, but Darren didn't show up. Charles started to feel anxious, hopeful and disturbed at the same time.

At the corner of the corridor in front of the reception room, Lionel was coming up towards Darren. Seeing Darren, Lionel stopped immediately.

They were close friends. But Amanda had meddled in, so the two men couldn't get along anymore.

"She is just a dispensable chess piece of Cheng family. This is not your style." Darren said slightly, "The progress of the case in America is not bad. You should follow it up. In the future, your performance will also be counted on the board of directors."

"Darren, listen to me. My style is that I'll do what I think is the right thing. And I'll do my best to achieve my goal. Besides, I know better than anyone else about the fact of your marriage. You don't love Amanda at all." Said Lionel.

"Do you like her?" Darren suddenly asked with a smile.
