Chapter 28: A GOOD THING IS COMING
It was only after he had finished his business with the man that York Charlie had time to pay attention to Shireen Miller.
“Let go!”
Just now there were outsiders in front of him, he didn’t want to lose Shireen Miller’s face too much, but now that no one was around, he would never let Shireen Miller pester him like this again.
Being fierce by York Charlie, Shireen Miller didn’t care. She smiled and let go of York Charlie and sat down on the man’s seat just now, “York, when did you arrive? Have you been here long? We’re sitting so close to each other, why didn’t you say hello to me when you were here just now?”
York Charlie had arrived long before Blanche Capra arrived, and he had an appointment with President Howard today to talk business. When he first saw Blanche Capra he intended to say hello to her, but once he thought that he came here today to talk business, I guess Blanche Capra couldn’t leave at a moment’s notice, so he pressed down this thought, just so he could also see what Blanche Capra was here for.
“You came here today to spite and humiliate her?” York Charlie snapped at Shireen Miller instead of answering her question.
“Looks like York has heard everything that just happened.” Shireen Miller sighed inwardly.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“York, how can I call that giving her a hard time? You’ve just heard it too. She wouldn’t even leave when I offered her the money… that’s ten million dollars… and she wasn’t satisfied… she said that it wasn’t just about the money… Blanche Capra… she didn’t want to be near you… she didn’t want to be near you. She doesn’t really love you. She was trying to covet your money and power.”
Shireen Miller didn’t deny that she was trying to get money to make Blanche Capra go away, but at the same time, she still didn’t miss a single opportunity to discredit Blanche Capra.
“Yeah? I’d be happy to pay her, but she doesn’t want it.” York Charlie chimed in lightly.
Shireen Miller then felt even more that York Charlie didn’t see Blanche Capra clearly, and she hatefully brainwashed York Charlie, “York, she’s just pretending. She is just going to pretend in front of you first that all she wants is you as a person, and when you really believe it, her fox tail will show. Blanche Capra’s heart is too deep, you mustn’t be fooled by her.”
“Is that so?” York Charlie asked Shireen Miller without irony, “Is that what you’re thinking: wait until you’re in Mrs. Charlie’s seat and then covet something?”
“York how can you think that about me?” Shireen Miller looked at York Charlie accusingly, “Who doesn’t know how true I’ve been to you all these years, I …”
“Enough, I don’t need your heart. Nor can I afford to enjoy it. You’d better keep it for other people.” York Charlie didn’t pay any attention to Shireen Miller’s confession, or even stopped being patient to hear it, “And don’t bother her again. I have paperwork to take care of, so I’ll leave now.”
Along the way, York Charlie was thinking about the series of things that just happened. He didn’t care about Shireen Miller’s claim that Blanche Capra was scheming for his money; there was no need to believe it. But even if it were true it wouldn’t matter to him, he had the money anyway. On the contrary, if Blanche Capra would use his money, he’d only be happy about it: it meant she was willing to accept herself.
By contrast, he was now more interested in Blanche Capra’s comment that ‘she wasn’t just in it for the money’: and if it wasn’t for the money, then what exactly was it about him that interested her?
“Jingle bells-”
As night fell, Blanche Capra’s phone suddenly rang and she picked it up in a daze, “Hello, who is it?”
“It’s me.”
Just two words from the person on the other end of the line made Blanche Capra lose all sleep.
“Yes?” There was a rare caution in her seemingly cold tone, even a hint of timidity that one’s brain could detect.
“Nothing, take it easy.” The person on the other end of the line was clearly smiling, but Blanche Capra didn’t dare let up for a second. “I saw everything that happened during the day today.”
“The daytime events? With Shireen Miller? You followed me?” Three questions in a row, and Blanche Capra went from initially puzzled to finally incredulous.
“I’m not that bored. I just happened to be in that cafe this afternoon talking about a project with York Charlie, sitting not far from you and Shireen Miller. Just happened to hear the whole thing.”
“York Charlie was there?” Blanche Capra bit her lip.
“Of course, that would have been simply awesome. Called just to talk to you about how great you were during the day today, even better than I thought you would be …”
What Moore Howard said after that Blanche Capra couldn’t be bothered to listen any longer, she just said a soft “Got it.” She hung up the phone.
Yes, the person on the other end of the phone was Moore Howard, the President Howard who had talked business with York Charlie during the day, the mysterious person who had called Blanche Capra several times before.
“Boo-”
“What kind of nonsense is this written by what kind of people?” Shireen Miller ate her breakfast and gasped at the sight of the bold, blacked-out headline in the paper!
“The Charlie Group CEO envied by romantic candlelit dinner at restaurant with young model.”
“York Charlie with girlfriend ayton road romantic western restaurant ambiguous each other cast food, suspected close to good things.”
…
Shireen Miller saw the headlines and tore the paper to shreds and threw it in the rubbish bin!
That’s what it says in the papers, not to mention online. The talk of York Charlie and Blanche Capra now rivals the headlines. Especially after the day York Charlie and Blanche Capra had a candlelight dinner together!
It’s just downright deceptive! Did these people ever consider how she, Shireen Miller, felt?
Shireen Miller clenched her hands so tightly that her long fingernails sank into her flesh without feeling any pain. What do you mean, “getting close”? What was she, Shireen Miller, if they were close? She was nothing!
Shireen Miller knew that York Charlie had deliberately released the news, otherwise, even if those reporters dared to take photos, the website and weekly magazines would never dare to publish them.
No, she must ask for clarification. She had to ask York if he cared about his fiancée’s feelings at all.
the Charlie Group, York Charlie’s office.
“Miss Miller, you can’t go in. Miss Miller, you … “The president said that without his order, his office easily can’t let people in, although it is summer, the assistant’s head is out of cold sweat. Despite this Miss Miller’s special status, she still had to resist the pressure to stop her.
“Get out of the way!” Shireen Miller felt that everyone was against her now, everyone was looking at her for a joke.
Did all these people disregard her because they saw the news? Now even a tiny assistant dared to block her way!
“How dare you, do you know what kind of person I am? You dare to stop the future president’s wife, do you believe I can make you roll up and leave right now?”
The assistant really hesitated after hearing this and didn’t dare to stop her any harder, Shireen Miller took the opportunity to push open the door of York Charlie’s office, lifted her foot and barged in.
“Something wrong?” York Charlie didn’t even raise his head and asked perfunctorily. Just now Shireen Miller made so much noise in the corridor, even if York Charlie was in his office, it would be hard not to hear it.
“You go out, I have something to say to your president.” Although Shireen Miller was angry that York Charlie’s attitude was so cold, she didn’t want to reveal in front of outsiders that she and York Charlie didn’t get along, pointing at the door and letting her assistant go out.
“President …” God fights, the kid suffers, the assistant asked York Charlie for help.
“Go out, by the way, take the door with you, don’t let anyone in.” York Charlie raised his head at this time.
“Yes.” The assistant was as if she had heard the Buddha’s voice, as soon as York Charlie gave the word, she immediately retreated out.
