Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 58

I nodded and looked at the report on his computer. I had to admit that Luis was a very good leader in terms of his work abilities.

He was very efficient and courageous.

After finishing the report, he closed his eyes and leaned his body back on the sofa. He rubbed his eyes and closed them, pretended to be dreaming as he placed the back of his hand on his forehead, and said with some fatigue, “Mr. Andrews from the branch office called and said that he wanted to invite you to dinner tonight.”

I nodded while seeing his sleepy face, “Well, why don’t you go back to the room and sleep for a while.”

He looked at the time, shook his head, and said, “No, I’ll just lean here for a bit.” After a pause, he said, “There are some financial issues in the branch office. If you don’t take a closer look, you won’t be able to tell. It is probably some higher management staff that had embezzled funds and casually found a project to fool others. Take a look, it involves millions of dollars!”

I nodded and started to look into all of the accounts. The branch office was modelled after the George Group and its operational model. City A was developing smoothly hence Dennis handed over a lot of its rights to the president here.

He didn’t often intervene in many of its affairs. I took a closer look and found that there was indeed a problem with a project. Under normal circumstances, for a small accident from a project, there was no reason why millions of funds were spent to cover up for it. Even if it is used to subsidize work-related injuries, it wouldn’t have amounted to such a figure. It was apparent that someone had misappropriated it.

“This matter may have to be handled by Jason Andrews!” I spoke and looked back at Luis but didn’t expect him to be asleep.

I got up and took a quilt from the bedroom to cover him.

There were still two hours left, so he could rest for a while. He hasn’t rested much from yesterday till now.

After sorting out the information, my phone vibrated, and it was Diana who called.

I picked up the call and her background noise were a little noisy, but her voice could still head, “Clara, you’re in City A, right? Send me your location, I’ll find you in a bit!”

I was taken aback, “Are you also in City A?”

Didn’t she ever mention that she wanted to travel in Armstrong Island, why is she in City A?

“I saw from your social media. I knew you were in City A, so I came here. I just got off the plane. Send me the address and I’ll come and find you.”

After we hung up the phone, I sent Diana a message on Facebook. I saw I had a few messages, I scanned through them. Some of them were work reports by Jackie, and a few were sent by Mario.

I almost forgot that Mario said that he would also be coming to City A. I called him when I remembered about it.

He connected after the phone rang a few times, with a deep and pleasant voice, “Which hotel are you in?”

“Are you in City A too?” I asked thinking it was a great coincidence.

“Just arrived. I just wanted to call you when you called. Which hotel are you in?” His voice was very low, and the surroundings were a little noisy.

I said with a louder voice, “Windemn Restaurant, the one along ND Street.”

“Ok, see you later!”

After I hung up, I got up and prepared to take a bath. Since I was going out for dinner in the evening, based on Diana’s habits, she would definitely make me go shopping with her.

I haven’t been shopping for a long time, so it’s good to get out for a walk.

I initially planned to go to the other room to bathe, but after searching for a long time, I didn’t find the other room’s key card. Luis was also asleep. Seeing that he was deep sleeping, I didn’t want to wake him up, so I just bathe it in this room.

Since there was a door in-between and he was also asleep, nothing would happen.

Probably due to overeating before sleeping, I had felt greasy, fortunately, I felt so much more comfortable after taking a shower.

I dried my hair in the bathroom, changed my clothes, and put on light makeup. When I came out, I heard Luis was speaking on the phone with someone.
