In the CEO's office, SG Group Headquarters.
Knock, knock, knock——
"Come in." A calm male voice came from the office. Malcolm was reading the documents left behind these days.when Sean Xiao, his assistant opened the door and walked in with a mobile phone in his hand. "Mr. Malcolm, it's Miss Lin's call."
"Yes." Malcolm slowly signed his name and then raised his head. His long eyes squinted. He took the phone and said, "you go out first!"
"Yes." Sean Xiao nodded and took a few steps back. Then he turned around and gently closed the door for Malcolm.
He dialed the phone with his slender finger and asked: "hello?"
"Malcolm!" "Are you busy now? I heard that you went to the company without taking a break yesterday after you came back to y city. You must take care of yourself! "said Catherine Lin with a sweet voice.
"Yes." "Do you have anything to tell me?" Malcolm replied in a cold voice
"Can't I call you since I have nothing else to do?" She pouted her lips, acting like a spoiled child.
"I'm busy. I won't answer your phone if there's nothing important. Bye."
"Wait! wait! I am busy! I have something to tell you! " "I have something to tell you," she added hurriedly
"Yes."
Hearing his response, Catherine heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I heard that a magazine wants to interview you. Can you..."
"Interview me? Why didn't I know? " Malcolm asked while looking at the documents.
"Well, my friend told me that she works in this magazine Anyway, they have the right to interview you! " After a few words, she changed the subject. "Could you tell the media something about us during the interview?"
"Our business? What's our business? " "It's still unknown whether I accept the interview or not." Malcolm said without even raising his eyes.
"I'm twenty-six years old. It's time for me to get married. You know, my father has always been optimistic about you. Why don't you tell them more about our relationship? " Catherine Lin looked happy and proud. She was the daughter of the mayor. In Ye city, perhaps no one was more suitable to be Malcolm's wife than her. And Malcolm was so excellent that no one was more suitable to be the son-in-law of the mayor than him.
"Miss Lin, we are just friends now. It's too early for us to talk about marriage." Malcolm put down his pen, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, "and I don't want to get married now."
She had expected that he would say so. It was just a bold idea of hers. She had no chance to win.
"Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together. " Catherine Lin said and naturally changed the topic.
"I'm busy tonight." Malcolm said in a low voice.
"What are you doing?"
"having a dinner with my family."
"Can I go there?" Asked Catherine Lin, full of expectation.
"It's not suitable for you to go to such an occasion."
"…… Okay. " Though she was active, she had higher self-esteem than others. She would no longer follow him because of many times he had refused.
When Malcolm was about to hang up the phone, he thought of something and asked: "I wonder which magazine are going to interview me, Miss Lin."
