After driving back to the office, I was surprised because Mario was waiting for me in my office.
On seeing me back, he put down the magazine in his hand, looked at me, and said, "How about the bidding?"
"Not bad!" After replying to him, I caught a glimpse of the lunch box on my desk, and I raised my eyebrows, "What’s this?"
"The soup cooked by Chef Owen. It can relieve the sickness.” He said and stepped forward to open the lunch box.
He had given me a bowl of the soup in the morning, and after drinking it, indeed, I did not feel sick all morning. The soup was really good.
"Thank you!" I said and sat back in my seat, raised my eyebrows, and looked at him. "Are you just here to bring me the soup?"
"No!" He was frank and said directly, "Have you decided the successful bidder?"
I shook my head. I also had a headache with the audit of the George Group. "I asked Jackie to make an analysis report, and I’ll screen the bidder after he gives me the report!"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you ever thought about it? What if Jo Turner Credit Co., Ltd. is not shortlisted and finally AC wins the bidding?"
To tell the truth, AC was likely to win. I looked up at him and frowned, "Why exactly does Dennis want to replace AC?”
"You should ask him!" He replied to me, and continued, "He has some appropriate reasons to choose Jo Turner Credit."
It was too complicated. I did not want to think much about it. I looked at him and said, "When the audit company is determined, I may have to go on a business trip. Please prepare some medicine for me to take during the business trip!"
She would be busy outside and become exhausted inevitably at that time. Mario was proficient in pharmacology, and the medicine that he prescribed must be useful.
He nodded and motioned for me to have soup first, or it would get cold later.
When I had just sipped a little soup, my mobile phone rang. Diana called me. It was already afternoon. She just got up.
When I answered the phone, before I opened my mouth, Diana said anxiously. "Clara, I'm at the police station. Come here quickly!"
I froze and wondered why she was at the police station.
She hung up before I was about to ask her. I hurried out with my bag. Mario stopped me and frowned. "What happened?"
"Diana is at the police station. I'll go and have a look!"
"I'll go with you!"
I did not refuse and I went to the police station with Maria. Diana was detained in the observation area. When the guarding policeman saw me, he said, "Are you Miss Clara?"
I nodded anxiously, "Why did you hold Diana? What happened?"
"Miss Diana has been involved in the illegal reselling of aquamarine and needs a judicial transfer. Miss Clara, please cooperate with us!"
The policeman said with awe.
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Heroin?
How could Diana touch such a thing?
I grabbed the policeman in anxiety. "Sir, Diana can't do anything illegal. There must be some misunderstanding. Please make it clear."
