Chapter 28 : Clearly a Provocation
Aurelia had no intention of making things difficult for her and nodded. “It’s okay. Which floor is he on? I can go there by myself.” Her tone was indeed much kinder, which made Anna Virginia breathe a sigh of relief.
Then she shook her head quickly. “I’ll take you upstairs. Mr. Finnegan told me to do that.”
Aurelia looked at Anna Virginia and felt a little scared, guessing that she was probably afraid of Callum as well .
Yes, for a man as strict as Callum , there probably wouldn’t be many people who aren’t afraid of him!
Briar , who are usually fearless, but are scared like a grandson every time they see Callum …
She nodded and followed her into the elevator, which finally stopped on the 66th floor.
The entire 66th floor is large and quiet. There is a small area not far from the president’s office. There are several desks with a sign hanging on them that says “President’s Secretary Area”.
There were five people sitting there, but there were six seats, which meant Callum had six secretaries! She opened her mouth in surprise. However, she thought that if there were not so many secretaries in such a large group company, Callum would probably be exhausted.
A male secretary wearing glasses saw Anna Virginia coming up , stood up and came over to her, “Who is this?” The little girl looked very familiar.
The male secretary looked to be no more than 30 years old, with the appearance of a top student. He looked at Aurelia with a smile in his eyes, which gave people a very comfortable feeling.
Anna Virginia glanced at Aurelia awkwardly and said respectfully, “Secretary Zheng, this VIP is looking for the president!”
It turned out that his last name was Zheng. Aurelia smiled at him, which made Jim a little absent-minded. But he quickly returned to his working state, “Hello, please follow me!” He extended his right hand forward and politely invited her to the door of the president’s office.
Jim knocked on the office door and a deep voice came from inside, “Come in!”
Callum ‘s voice , deep and cold . She clenched the lunch box in her hand and began to get nervous.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Callum be unhappy to see her? Or one of them will be unhappy or happy, and then they will sign the divorce agreement…
While she was thinking randomly, she also walked into Callum ‘s office.
The huge office is at least two or three hundred square meters, decorated in all white, black and gray styles.
The spotless office is simply furnished with the latest high-tech desk, a wine rack, a bookshelf, a water dispenser, a white reception sofa and a long glass table.
There is an indoor golf course on the westernmost side, with several famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall. On the easternmost side, there is a door, which is the president’s private lounge.
When the man who was working in the office saw the little girl appear at the door, an imperceptible emotion flashed across his eyes.
He put down the pen in his hand, said nothing, and looked at the girl who was looking around the office curiously.
Aurelia felt the man’s gaze and immediately came back to her senses, stepping on the soft carpet and taking a few steps forward.
After calming down, he spoke carefully, “That Callum … No, not Mr. Finnegan . Sorry to bother you. This is the meal I… cooked. Would you like to try it?”
The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this. As stubborn as she was, would she apologize to him? Could he doubt that she had bad intentions?
And the meals she cooked? He remembered that he had told Alfred on the day they got their marriage certificate to treat her like a rich girl and keep her away from housework .
Alfred report this .
Aurelia looked at the silent Callum and began to feel nervous . What did this stinky man mean by not talking?
Is he unhappy that she is here?
Aurelia felt a little embarrassed when she thought of this possibility , but she still opened the insulated lunch box and said, “Then you eat. I’ll leave now.”
Several black dishes appeared in front of him, and Callum frowned immediately.
There is a slight smell of burnt food in the air. Is this food?
Callum mean by frowning? Is it because the food doesn’t look good?
She explained seriously, “… although this doesn’t look good and doesn’t present itself, it’s still delicious. Mary has tried it, you can try it too.” This is what Mary told her. Although it doesn’t look good, it tastes good. She herself couldn’t bear to eat it!
Aurelia took out the chopsticks and handed them to him in a flattering manner , with an expectant expression on her face unconsciously.
Looking at the expectation on the little girl’s face, Callum hesitated for a moment, but finally took the chopsticks.
Aurelia watched him take the chopsticks and happily introduced the names of the dishes, “This is Dongpo tofu, and this is… why is it so black, it looks like braised pork!” She looked at the dark dishes and smiled awkwardly at Callum .
“This should be braised lion’s head, why did it turn black…” She muttered the last sentence in a low voice.
Callum looked at the dishes in the lunch box and had no appetite at all. There was no need to taste them!
“This, I know, this is a mantis shrimp, and this one hasn’t changed color.” It definitely won’t change color, it’s just boiled in water.
Callum couldn’t lift his hand holding the chopsticks. The girl was still talking with relish, ” Callum , this is my first time cooking. I… I’m here to apologize for what I did last night…”
She lowered her head, and when she said this, the man’s eyes were dark. But the next words made him feel relieved for some reason.
“You were so drunk, unconscious. I won’t contradict you anymore, Mr. Finnegan, please don’t be angry, okay?” At last, the little girl stared with her big eyes, pretending to be expectant at the silent man.
He nodded unconsciously, and the girl’s eyes were immediately filled with surprise and happiness. Seeing her happy, inexplicably, he also felt very happy.
But, “Then try the food I cook soon!” She changed the topic back to the food.
Callum couldn’t bear to disappoint her, so he put his chopsticks on the food and picked up a mantis shrimp she mentioned.
However, the girl held down his chopsticks and said, “This needs to be peeled, eat something else first!” Peeling the skin is so troublesome, it’s better to leave it to last.
Callum ‘s face darkened. She had to put down the shrimp and picked up a piece of what she called braised pork, slowly put it into her mouth and chewed it for a few times.
Suddenly his face changed drastically and he couldn’t help but vomit into the trash can beside him.
Is this braised pork? Not only is it bitter and salty, but it also tastes weird!
After spitting out everything, he quickly picked up the boiled water next to him and drank it in big gulps.
Aurelia was really dumbfounded when she saw this scene. “Isn’t it delicious?”
Callum looked at her innocent eyes and spoke coldly, “Are you here to apologize? You are clearly here to provoke me!” He knew that this stubborn little witch would never give in so easily.
