All the senior employees of the DC Capital Group knew that Mr. Edward didn't answer any phone calls in meetings. The news that he hadn't rushed to the hospital to see his mother who was in a kidney stone operation had been talked about until today! In the past four years, it was said that any call from the CEO's wife would be answered immediately, and he even cut off some meetings halfway for his wife, even some of them are emergency ones.
The new employees knew that Mr. Edward was very strict with his work and didn't allow anyone to interrupt the meeting! It seemed that the person who called must be very important!
After Edward leaving the meeting room, the rest began to whisper with each other. They were very curious about the person who called him, and it was not until Lucas coughed that they became quiet.
Edward strode all the way to his office and didn't call back until the door was closed. On the other side, Angela had called for a long time, but no one answered. After hanging up the phone, the person on the other side called her. She answered the phone in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
On the other side of the phone, his calm and deep voice was not as anxious as just now, let alone any other emotions.
"You..." All of a sudden, she didn't know where to start. She thought for a while and said softly, "I just thought that the new semester is about to begin. I took a look at the new house first and found that this is a villa."
"What?" There was a question in his tone, it seems that he was asking what's wrong?
"Uh..." She hesitated for a while. Although she felt that she was not as capable as him, she still frankly said, "I may not be able to afford this house... I mean, the expense seems to be a little big!"
"I will be responsible for the maintenance of the house and the salary of the employees."
"I don't think it's a good idea! I have divorced you! Your future wife will mind!" After thinking for a while, she felt it inappropriate to say so. She added, "if I get remarried, I'm afraid that the other party will also care about this."
He remembered that when he gave her something before, she would say thank you happily, and her eyes would be shining. He enjoyed her happy smile with shyness. But now, he gave her a big gift in the name of his son, but got her words like this.
All of a sudden, his heart seemed to be blocked by a big stone.
Unable to hear any response, she thought it was because of the bad signal. "Hello? Can you hear me?"
"Yes..."
"This house is very beautiful. Although I like it very much, I don't think it's appropriate." Just like him, he was talented, handsome and rich. Even if he liked her so much in his heart, it was not appropriate for her to marry him! Even if he could get it, he could only feel the pressure that made people unable to breathe.
Since he divorced her, her tone had become much calmer than before. But it also made him feel a sense of alienation. He said, "all the fees are my alimony for Eden. You don't need to feel uncomfortable, because it has nothing to do with you. You only have to rely on your son, so there is no problem whether you accept it or not."
I have to rely on my son...
His aggressive and cold tone cut her heart hard.
Angela didn't know how to respond for a while. She was stunned for a long time before she lowered her head to hide the sad emotion in her eyes.
There was no response from the other side for a long time. He was a little nervous, but he suppressed it. "Anything else?"
She came to her senses and forced a smile. "It's all right. I thank you on behalf of Eden."
Angela threw her phone into her bag. Seeing that she looked depressed, Lesley walked up to her and asked, "what's wrong?"
"Nothing!" She restrained her bad mood.
"What are you going to do with this house?" Lesley asked.
