EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Too Much for Me to Bear

What Suny said was nothing for Anthony, who believed that she was merely an assistant and that she could not have had much association with Phantom's boss in the one and a half years after the breakup of her marriage with Austin, during which she remained a housewife.

But Rosa was different. Everyone knew she was the principal secretary of Phantom's boss. Since the emergence of Phantom, she had always been her assistant. While he could turn a deaf ear to what Suny had said, he must value Rosa's words.

Rosa's intention to expel him made Anthony stiffen, for he knew if he didn't achieve anything today, god knew when he could meet their boss again, which was something he could not afford to do.

Anthony looked at Rosa with a flattering smile, "Secretary Lee, it's my fault. But the emergency urged me to be here today. Could you please send a message to your boss?"

But Rosa stood still with her emotionless face, "Mr. Johnson, it's not me that you should apologize to. It's Miss Holland. Our boss has made it clear that Miss Holland has an equally important position as her and has the right to decide up to ninety-nine percent of the businesses in this company before informing her. As for what you mentioned earlier about pretending to be the boss. That could be regarded as an insult to Miss Holland. As the secretary of our boss and a colleague of Miss Holland, I truly suggest you make an apology to her."

It must be admitted that Rosa, as someone who had worked with Suny for years, knew by heart that she needed to earn respect for her.

Anthony despised Austin, and Suny even more. For him, though Suny was the granddaughter of Charlie Murphy, there was still Robert Murphy. Even though she belonged to the Murphys, she had not surnamed Murphy.

And now he, a man more than sixty years old, was going to apologize to her?

Hilarious. If people knew it happened, how could he live down?

He did not want to apologize. Not at all. So he changed the subject, "Secretary Lee, if your boss's not available today, could you tell me when she's free? I really have an important project to discuss with her and I believe she would be interested."

Rosa peeped at Suny without a trace, then she said coldly, "Mr. Johnson, Miss Holland was the only person in Phantom who was able to contact our boss. I believe you should ask Miss Holland as to when she's free to discuss with you about the project."

Suny was beside her when she was rambling about in a serious tone. The corner of her mouth could not help curling up.

Anthony happened to catch that smile and thought she was laughing at him. Suddenly, his face stiffened.

If it was in the past, he would have turned angry.

But now, he was quite clear that he could not offend Suny no matter how much he disliked her when faced with the dilemma that he could neither doge apologizing nor apologize willingly.

At that time, Raul, who seldom came to Phantom, was back and was astounded at the sight of Anthony.

But smart as he, he was clear Suny's identity had always been kept as a secret.

Although he merely had a glimpse, it was quite obvious to him that the conversation did not go well.

Actually, it was Anthony that was not well. After all, for all those years that Raul had known Suny, few people could agitate her to a point that she lost her normal countenance.

When he caught sight of Raul, Anthony's stiffened face was replaced by much glee.

It seemed impossible for him to meet Suny today, but at least he met Raul, which meant something to him.

Instantly, Anthony ignored Rosa and Suny. Well, if they were not going to treat him nicely, why should he be wasting time?

Anthony thought so and averted his attention to Raul, "Long time no see. Mr. Webster. "

"Mr. Johnson. Long time no see."

Anthony used to be treated with reverence, but now everyone knew that he had retired. And people were also aware of Suny's relationship with Austin. Besides, now she was the granddaughter of Charlie Murphy. For smart people like Raul, it was impossible that he didn't know who could and who could not be offended.

For Raul, Anthony was overestimating his ability if he was going to fight Austin.

But he was a man that preferred to have plan B, a man who would do things to a certain point, not too extreme. As what Anthony would turn out to be was still hard to tell, he added after the first greeting, "What brings Mr. Johnson here?"

Anthony was discontent at first, but seeing that Raul's attitude was much more sincere than Rosa's and Suny's, his face softened as he felt his dignity back, "I have a project to cooperate with your company."
