Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 52's
There are so many companies that work with Jotuns Corps, it makes Lorie have to meet different people every day. He could not remember their looks and names one by one, Jenty who would remind him if they had to meet a business partner they had met before.
Not to mention Raymond who still kept calling her using another number - like his current one - made her consider replacing the phone number with a new one.
Lorie kept her phone in the drawer and focused on checking the documents that Jenty had just delivered. There are many reports to read and there are many more files to sign. He wants to finish it all today so that tomorrow can take a leave of absence and go to the obstetrician. It's time for another checkup.
Being too busy taking care of her work, the woman did not realize that it was almost lunchtime. He looked up when he heard a knock at the door. A second later, Jenty walked in with a complicated-looking expression.
“What's up?” ask Lorie.
“Um ... it .. there are guests looking for you, Miss,” Jenty replied as he glanced at the door. He knows Lorie doesn't like to be bullied, but the guy out there also insists before Lorie herself comes to see him and makes up her mind.
“Is there a missed appointment?” asked Lorie while frowning. As he remembered today he did not have an appointment with anyone.
“No.” Jenty walked up to Lorie and looked at her boss with a helpless expression.
“Mr Daniel of EON’s Company. You remember?” ask in a low voice.
Daniel's?
The frown on Lorie's forehead deepened. It took him a few seconds to remember the emerald green-eyed man who kept staring at him during the meeting that time. He took a deep breath and pinched his temple. Men ... Why is it the same? He was quite dizzy with the behavior of Raymond Dawson, really did not want to add new problems with other men.
“Say I am busy,” Lorie said as she returned to the sheet before her.
“I've been trying to kick him out since half an hour ago, Miss. But he insisted. I was forced to come to you because his presence in front of my desk seized quite a lot of attention,” replied Jenty, sounding like a little complaining about facing a stubborn man.
Suddenly Lorie realizes that Daniel is not the type of man she easily copes with, and that makes her even more reluctant. But anyway, he is a client. Lorie couldn't possibly avoid it just for personal reasons.
Therefore, after sighing for some who to how many times, Lorie said, “Tell him in.”
“Good.” Jenty breathed a sigh of relief and rushed out.
Lorie had no intention of clearing the documents on her desk. He would use it as an excuse to reject Daniel, whatever the man would ask for later.
“Good day, Miss Lorie. Seems I'm bothering you?” greet Daniel upon entering Lorie's office. He was quite satisfied because he was finally allowed to enter by the wry-faced secretary.
Lorie who was still lowered quietly rolled her eyeballs and sneered.
After scolding the man inwardly, Lorie looked up a little reluctantly and forced a smile on her face.
“Good day, Mr. Daniel, please sit down,” a simple word of mouth.
“As you can see, there is a lot I have to finish here. Oh, is there an urgent need for our cooperation? Because as I recall, there was no appointment of any meeting or meeting today,” he continued after seeing Daniel occupy the seat before him.
Lorie hopes that her words will make Daniel unwell and leaves soon. However, apparently the man was more shameless than he had imagined. The alluring smile was still perched on that extremely handsome—cial— face, as if it was not affected at all by Lorie's innuendo just now.
“Nothing, I happened to pass around here and want to take you to lunch,” replied Daniel, casually crossing his legs and resting both hands on the back of the chair. Her relaxed and indifferent appearance somehow made her look even more attractive.
This man ... is so outspoken and confident, not afraid of me rejecting or expelling him? Coincidentally passed. Huh. Who would believe such a classic excuse? Really ridiculous.
Lorie put on a wry smile and returned Daniel's intense gaze.
“Mr Daniel, since this is not a business visit, just tell me what your purpose is. It will help both of us to know the limits.”
A hint of shock ripples appeared on Daniel's face, but the man controlled it quickly. Instead of being upset or offended, now the grin on his face seemed wider.
“You're making me more interested. Rarely find one like you,” said the man casually.
There was a hint of teasing in Daniel's magnetic voice and Lorie was stunned. The man even changed the originally formal greeting to be more relaxed. However, the woman quickly got in control and got defensive.
“Unfortunately I am not interested, Sir. If there are no work issues that you want to discuss, please exit.”
After saying that sentence, Lorie lowered her head again and read her report with a serious face. He was determined, no matter what happened, he would not ignore the man before him.
