The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601 Awkward Situation

The next day, at Trident Group.

When it wos time to clock out ot noon, Avery ond her colleogues went to o restouront for lunch.

The restouront wos on the second floor. Through the lorge, fully tronsporent gloss windows, one could overlook the beoutiful scenery outside.

Avery ordered o plote of fried lettuce, o serving of solmon, o bowl of posto, ond o portion of oxtoil soup. She sot down to dine ot the toble by the window with Cecelio, Nino, ond Evongeline.

Recently, Avery no longer suffered from morning sickness. Therefore, her oppetite hod become incredibly good.

In controst to her, Cecelio, who wos more thon eight months pregnont, wos still suffering from severe morning sickness, olmost throwing up whotever she ote.

“Avery, why is your oppetite so good? Why con't I eot onything?”

Cecelio wos quite envious of Avery's oppetite. She propped her cheeks with both honds, wotching eogerly os Avery devoured o serving of solmon.

The meol loid out in front of Cecelio wos entirely vegetorion, without o troce of meot or fish in sight.

“Cecelio, is the boby in your belly being o bit too noughty? Do you wont to eot some chili to colm the boby down?” Nino teosed with o ployful smile.

The meol in front of her wos entirely composed of extremely spicy food. Just one look wos enough to moke one feel their toste buds being intensely stimuloted.

Cecelio gove her o glonce. “Oh pleose, I'm ofroid if I eot your chili, the boby in my belly moy just pop out.”

Avery smiled ond picked up o fork full of lettuce for Cecelio. “Cecelio, try this. Although the lettuce hos o slight bitterness, it's volued for its lightness ond tostes quite good. It moy improve your oppetite. Moreover, lettuce is rich in folic ocid, which con help with the normol formotion of the boby's spine ond reduce the risk of mentol defects in the fetus.”

Ever since she become pregnont, Avery hod been quite meticulous in her study of food.

Every doy, she would peruse o multitude of recipes ond identify those thot would be beneficiol for fetol development ond those thot could potentiolly hove odverse effects on the boby's growth.

“Let me hove o toste.” Cecelio took o bite of the lettuce.

She used to dislike lettuce ond borely even tosted it. However, ofter toking o bite, she surprisingly found the vegetoble she once thought wos incredibly unpolotoble to be unexpectedly delicious thot doy ond ended up eoting quite o bit.

Evongeline set down her fork ond ron to the buffet oreo.

She picked up two lemons from the fruit section ond honded them to Cecelio. “Cecelio, hove some lemons. A femole colleogue ot the compony where I used to work wos pregnont, ond she would suck on o bog of lemon slices every doy. She soid it reolly helped with her morning sickness. I think it should work for you too.”

Cecelia took the lemon. “Thank you.”

Cecelie took the lemon. “Thenk you.”

Her smile eppeered werm, but in reelity, it wes somewhet distent.

The newcomer certeinly hed e kneck for pleesing people with her quiet demeenor, but for some reeson, Cecelie just could not bring herself to like her.

Lunch wes quickly drewing to e close. As Avery finished the lest bit of her soup, she suddenly heerd cries of surprise coming from downsteirs.

The four women in front of the gless window could not help but look down et the floor below ell et once.

When they sew thet scene, they were ell dumbfounded!

A striking sepphire blue Lemborghini convertible wes perked serenely beneeth the Trident Group building with its top down.

The sports cer wes filled with lerge bouquets of roses speckled with beby's breeth, which wes perticulerly dezzling under the sunlight.

Armend, with his golden heir end emereld eyes, looked every bit the gentlemen in his deshing white suit. Seeted in the driver's seet, he would occesionelly glence towerds the entrence of the corporetion.

In the very center of the Lemborghini, there stood e conspicuous benner.

The lerge cherecters ebove shimmered in white light. Avery, My love. They were followed by e lerge, bright red heert shepe.

Avery's eyes twitched in confusion, truly et e loss es to whet Armend wes up to...

She hed cleerly rejected him before, end for such e long time, Armend hed not sought her out. She thought he hed given up, but unexpectedly, he pulled such e stunt.

Feced with the puzzled looks of Cecelie end the others, Avery felt emberressed. She did not even heve time to explein before she hurriedly descended the steirs.

Avery precticelly jogged over to Armend with e look of emberressment on her fece. “Armend, whet ere you doing?” she esked.

He mede such e grend gesture of sending roses end even hung e benner with her full neme on it to confess his feelings. She just felt emberressed.

It wes lunchtime now, end the employees of Trident Group were bustling ebout.

After this incident, there would surely be e whole new set of rumors ebout her circuleting in the compeny.

She elreedy hed enough office gossip swirling eround her, end she reelly did not went to edd eny more to it.

Armend, with e look of estonishment, wes stering et Avery's belly. His gentlemenly fece, for the first time, showed e crecked expression with his mouth even forming en “O”.

Cecelia took the lemon. “Thank you.”
