EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 282

Charlie had not exactly told Suny when he would come, but he just would. After trying several times for nothing, Suny just stopped bothering Charlie. But guess what? Finn received a call from the Murphys.

Finn became a bundle of nerves, starting at the sound of the phone ringing. He was afraid to screw up his boss's chance, but obviously, he was just paranoid. He didn't have a chance to utter a word.

"Mr. Lee, this's Mr. Murphy's assistant. Could you please tell Mr. Johnson that Mr. Murphy's flight will be tomorrow afternoon? Mr. Murphy wants to have dinner with Mr. Johnson. Room A1 at Bishounen at six tomorrow night."

Then there came a long beep over the phone.

Finn quickly sent the message to Austin.

"Mr. Johnson, you have an appointment with TK's president."

"Antonio can do that."

Mr. Murphy and TK's president? Finn knew who the priority would be.

"Mr. Johnson, should I check Mr. Murphy's flight?"

"No." Mr. Murphy probably didn't like people who did things on the sly.

"Okay, I'll inform Mr. Read."

"Thanks."

Austin was not in the mood for work anymore because he was going to meet Suny's grandfather. He was anxious. How could he leave Mr. Murphy a good first impression? Exactly, second after he had screwed up the first time. What if he ruined his chance this time?

He gazed at his phone on the table. After a moment of hesitation, he opened the chat group and typed, "Do you guys know how to make your girlfriend's family like you?"

Soon, his phone pinged. It was Elijah.

"Are you going to see Suny's family? Well, big progress."

Austin ignored his stupid joke.

Then Antonio's message popped out. "This's a hard one."

And Tate, "Sorry, no can do."

Austin was too naive. How could he find an answer among a bunch of bachelors? Then he threw his phone aside. After a while, he received a call from Elijah but hung up the phone impatiently. But Elijah kept calling one time after another. Well, this man was nothing better than having thick skin!

"You are asking for trouble, man," Austin answered in a frosty tone.

Elijah was playing dumb. "Aren't you trying to win favor with Suny's family? I'm trying to help!"

"Okay, wait, don't! I knew you were going to hang up the phone! I'm serious! It works every time!"

"Can you just tell me?"

"Let your mind do the talking. I mean, butter him up and don't go against his wishes."

"... Bugger off!"

Austin would never expect useful things from Elijah. He must be insane! But he must never know he would have to face such a problem one day.

That night, he lost sleep over it.

Late the next day, a phone buzz woke him up. It was from Suny.
