Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 81

Samuel’s face immediately darkened and was a bit irritated, “Well, it seems like that Miss Kennedy doesn’t like me handling this matter in an amiable way. Sure, let’s change this another way, but I do hope that Miss Kennedy won’t find our approach too brutal this time.”

“Let’s wait and see!” Then I just left. I got to thank my grandma for though she was quite austere these years, she had never taught me to adopt shady means and kept me quite good-natured.

Leaving the café, I went straight to the company.

To be honest, I was in a shitty mood but not to the point that I couldn’t bear.

I met Luis downstairs who was clearly in a hurry, so I just pretended that I didn’t see him, but he just approached and stopped me, “I haven’t seen you for days. What have you been up to?”

“Working, obviously!”

He twitched his mouth, “What are you being so cold for? I’m your admirer, all right? Would it hurt you to be slightly sweet to me?”

I ignored the question and asked back, “Where is your biological father?” If Luna was Luis’ mother, where was his father then?

Maybe it was because my question was a bit abrupt, his face immediately changed and stared at me, “Why are you asking me this question?”

“I’m simply curious.” Luna was kind of a drama queen and got many men around.

“He’s dead.” He said indifferently and continued, “I will tell you everything that you want to know if you have dinner with me tonight.”

“I’m not interested.” Passing him, I went into the elevator.

“I’ll cook myself.” He hurriedly said.

The elevator door closed and kept him outside.

After entering the office, I called Jackie who clearly looked terrible, so I asked, “What happened?”

She sighed, “Well, the audit thing. President George wants to look over this matter himself. I’m under a lot of pressure.”

I grinned, “What for? We’ll check the files the same way. As long as you have proofread everything, there won’t be any problems.”

Remembering the man that she met yesterday downstairs, I asked, “Was that your boyfriend who picked you up yesterday?”

She froze and was obviously surprised, “What?”

“The man driving the black Cadillac. He’s quite dashing. Is he your boyfriend?” I was simply chatting around and didn’t expect her to be so nervous.

I giggled and said, “I just bumped into you guys yesterday. What are you being so edgy for? I’m married and certainly wouldn’t snatch your man.”

She let out a forced smile, “Director Clara, I don’t mean this. You know that I’m quite private about my personal life within the company. Plus, many girls in the company mentioned that they wouldn’t get married and be pregnant within the five years when they interviewed for the job.”

The George Group was a great company, but grandpa Freddy deliberated that female staff would miss work by having maternity leave or marriage leave after taking the offer, so he made a rule that women can’t start a relationship or get pregnant within five years.

This rule was at its nature a flawed one, so Dennis actually disagreed this idea after taking over the company, but he can’t just abolish it since it was grandpa who created it. Therefore, though it was a rule, it wasn’t legally-binding and certainly won’t make things difficult for girls having maternity leave.

But since this was her personal life, I was in no place to question, so I just beamed, “It’s okay. I’m just curious since I saw you yesterday.”

Handing her the files that I’d processed, I said, “You can go on with your work then. Spend more time on the AC audit since Dennis said that he would verify it himself. Moreover, give me a summary of Jo Turner Credit’s audit report.”

“Sure!”

After Jackie left the office, I checked the time and it was already noon.

I actually felt odd since Dennis should be here and taking me to lunch at this time.

I was taken aback when the office door was suddenly pushed open. I paused and saw Mario rushing into the office and he just dragged me out.
