Chapter 14 – Young Master Norton is So Handsome
“Sister-in-law, you–”
“Christine White, what are you doing out here?”
Baird Lane’s voice came from the office, cold with displeasure!
He really didn’t expect that Christine White would dare to be so flirtatious with someone else even in front of him!
He’d hinted at her once last time outside the police station, and the woman hadn’t taken it seriously at all!
Even though they’re only nominally married, can’t Christine White have the self-awareness of being married?
“No, didn’t do anything!” Christine White snapped back to her senses and hurriedly stood away from Ives Norton, gave him an apologetic look, and immediately handed Baird Lane the information in her hand again.
“President, this is the information I organized earlier, please take a look. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.”
Baird Lane flipped the papers over and his face sank, “These papers, are you sure you’ve read them all?”
“Yeah, I’ve seen it all.” Christine White froze, “President, is there something wrong?”
“Then you should really read it again!” Baird Lane closed the contract with a snap, “The contract for China Transmission Entertainment hasn’t been officially signed because the details haven’t been taken care of yet, yet you labeled the contract as complete on the document? You haven’t even seriously looked into these details? When the company’s bills don’t match up at that time, are you planning to be responsible for that?”
“Yeah, sorry, President! I’ll go revise it now.” Christine White blushed miserably and hurriedly tried to carry the documents back.
“Later.”
Baird Lane called out to her, raising his chin toward his side of the desk, “And the papers on the desk all together.”
These contracts are already signed.
However, because of the previous mismanagement at the top, many of the documents had not been categorized at all, and he took this opportunity to try to reorganize them just right.
“Do you want all of these …?”
“Yeah, what are you still standing here for?” Baird Lane frowned down.
“But President Lane, there’s so much paperwork here, and I don’t know how long it’s going to take for me to get through it alone, I …”
“Aren’t you quite free to stand here and eavesdrop right now? How come you don’t have time to get busy with business? Otherwise, you shouldn’t come over to work tomorrow either.”
“… I know.”
Christine White choked, keeping her head down and not daring to retort, stepping up quickly to take all the papers, “President Lane, I’ll be there now.”
The five million dollars she owed him hadn’t been paid back yet, and what would she do if she lost her job?
“Sister-in-law, be careful.”
Watching Christine White holding a pile of documents over, Ives Norton subconsciously wanted to help her, but the rest of his eyes swept Baird Lane’s face became even more difficult to see.
Ives Norton raised an eyebrow, watched Christine White leave, reached out to close the office door behind her, and hung back to pour a cup of tea for his own, “Baird, if I’m not mistaken, did you misunderstand something just now and get jealous?”
“Your imagination can be put away, I’m not interested in the kind of woman who doesn’t have much of a brain.”
“Yeah?” Ives Norton said meaningfully, “If you really don’t like it, why do you keep her around and make her a secretary? I am truly unable to understand this behavior of yours.”
Baird Lane grunted softly, “Have you had a free day? Keep focusing on the irrelevant.”
“Irrelevant?” Ives Norton repeats his words back to him and suddenly laughs, “I don’t have time for such things, I just want to remind you to remember what you want to do and never regret it later.”
“I’m well aware of that.”
Baird Lane squinted down, the secretary’s office still faintly visible outside through the blinds in his office.
The door was still open, and Christine White was sorting through papers with a chagrined look on her face, her crisp willowy brows furrowed.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Her face was not exquisitely beautiful, but her skin was fair and watery, and it was pleasing to look at.
Thinking of his unusual behavior just now, Baird Lane’s face sunk slightly, there was absolutely no way he could like this kind of woman!
