Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 22

I though Dennis would be just angry with me for a while for aborting the baby and would just drop the whole thing once he realized that Olivia was pretty happy about this.

But I really didn’t see that the entanglement between me and Dennis was just beginning.

I was pretty contented and calm since Dennis stopped coming back to the mansion because of the baby.

I stayed at the mansion all day to play the whole scene and just asked Jackie to drop off all the groceries that I needed.

In the afternoon, after organizing all the stuff in the fridge, Jackie came over and said to me, “Director Clara, the final payment in the People’s Hospital has been held off for several days and the finance department has been calling to ask what went wrong. Should we give a call to Mr. Pearson?”

After having several bites of the durian in my hand, I really couldn’t bear the smile and just threw it in the trash bin. Seeing that Jackie was standing there formally, I motioned her to sit down and wiped my hand, “How long has he been stalling?”

“About two or three days.” Jackie paused and continued, “It hasn’t been long, but the amount is a bit excessive. The company meant to use this money to tap into the new market. Now that it isn’t paid in time, the next quarter’s profit of the company would be affected.”

I nodded. The liquid capital of the George Group was already limited, so any delay on the payment of any partners would result in some bad effects. The amount of money that Stefan owed was a bit huge. This amount of money would have sizable profits even if it was deposited in a bank.

After pondering, I replied, “Mr. Pearson is a man of his word. I was home resting for the past couple of days and had forgotten this. I got to be blamed for this. Tell the finance department that I would deal with this as long as I got a bit better.”

“Okay.” Jackie answered and went to cook the meal.

I unlocked the phone and read Alice’s message.

‘Mrs. George, are you feeling better? Stefan’s cash flow has recovered now. Thank you for helping us.’

It seemed like that Mr. Pearson had tackled his conundrum.

It was about time that I went back to work, so I called Mr. Pearson to schedule a time to finish the final payment and sign the contract.”

Jackie had fixed the meal when I finished the call.

She had to get to work so I didn’t keep her to have dinner with me.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, I said, “I’m quite all right now. I’ve called Mr. Pearson to finalize the payment tomorrow. You can stay at the company and help me.”

Jackie scanned me and was a bit concerned, “Are you sure you are okay? Aren’t you supposed to rest for about a month after the abortion?”

I beamed, “Do I look terrible to you? Moreover, this matter will keep delaying if I don’t meet Mr. Pearson in person. How much of loss would the company suffer? Dennis wouldn’t be just cold shouldering me then.”

Well, I didn’t really get an abortion and if I kept on resting at home, things would get complicated between me and Dennis as my pregnancy belly will gradually show.

I got to make the best use of my time and left Newton Town after settling everything.

Hearing my words, Jackie just sighed, “Okay then, but you need to take care of your body.”

After seeing Jackie out, I went back to the dining table to resume eating. It was pretty boring to have the meal alone, but as it was late outside, I really didn’t feel like going out.

So I just went back to the bedroom.

As Dennis didn’t come back for the past couple of days, I had nothing better to do and just got some reading done. Apart from this, I was also looking up online to hunt the department in Hensley Town as I got to find a comfortable residence for me and my baby.

Then my phone just suddenly rang and it was Diana. I froze a bit and picked up the phone.

My ear just instantly was about to explode when I heard her yelling.
