Chapter 205 – He’s Charming When He’s Serious
Bowen Carter gave her a sidelong glance and didn’t answer.
Tess Baker is still unsure, “With so many competitors in The Carter Group, are there any that like to play dirty?”
She also spent five years in the mall, clearly know the darkness of the mall. Especially some large companies, the interests are large, the forces involved are also more, openly and secretly do not know how many pairs of eyes watching, want a piece of the pie.
“Lots of partners, too.” Fearing that she was worried, Bowen Carter rarely softened his tone, “Be your Mrs. Carter, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.”
Tess Baker’s mind was all about Frank Duke’s last smile, and her heart seemed to be weighing down a heavy boulder, not seeing the favor in the bottom of his eyes.
The following day.
After Bowen Carter went to the office, Tess Baker immediately called Linda Mark, “Honey, you ask around with Cliff Ford to see if Bowen Carter has a feud with Frank Duke.”
“Cliff Ford, you pick up the phone.” On the other end of the phone, Linda Mark shouted directly at the top of her lungs.
Tess Baker was a little surprised, “You’re living together?”
She’s been so involved with Bowen Carter for a while now, she didn’t even ask how Linda and Cliff Ford went from looking at each other to being lovers.
“Yes, yes! Sister-in-law, I’m telling you, I’m miserable, ever since I moved in with Linda Mark, I’ve become her maid, serving her tea and cutting her nails, I do all the dirty work …” Cliff Ford chanted for three long minutes without stopping.
Tess Baker had to interrupt, “Let me ask you something, do you Carter have any beef with Frank Duke?”
She hadn’t felt much when she saw Frank Duke the first few times, but when she saw him yesterday, she always felt very unsure of herself.
“There are too many people who have had problems with Carter to remember!” Cliff Ford asked, “Sister-in-law, why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
“I think Frank Duke is hostile toward me.” Tess Baker didn’t put too fine a point on it, it was just her gut feeling and not backed up by any evidence.
“Che, I thought it was a big deal!” Cliff Ford hung back, “Frank Duke likes Snowy Cole, and Snowy Cole became psychotic because of you and Carter, can he not blame you two?”
“Do you think he’ll do something radical?” Frank Duke had a look in his eyes that scared her in a way that she hadn’t felt when she saw him before.
She was afraid that Frank Duke, like Snowy Cole, would suddenly do something like kidnap or strangle someone.
Cliff Ford laughed most of the way before saying, “Frank Duke doing bigoted things? No way! You don’t look at him like a playboy, in fact, he has taken over the family business since he was a teenager, his nature is more stable than many people in their 40s and 50s.”
He finally added, “If Frank Duke really wants to do anything to hurt you, he’ll never let you see it, and he’s got a mind … tsk tsk tsk, my grandpa says it’s too deep!”
Tess Baker hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and smiled too. Since becoming pregnant, she seemed to think a lot and become very sensitive.
Knock Knock!
Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and came in and said, “Tess, the young master has a parent-teacher conference over there and said he wants you and Mr. to come over.”
“When?” Bowen Carter wouldn’t let her go out, and she had to talk to him about it ahead of time.
Aunt Zhang, “Ten o’clock this morning. The old man said two days ago that he was going to go, and last night he had a fight with Master Zhao, and today he traveled to take a break.”
The two old men together are almost two hundred years old, quarrel almost hands!
Tess Baker wrinkled her nose and was thinking about how to get Bowen Carter to let her go when his phone call came, “PTA, I’ll pick you up at 9:10.”
Just hang up after saying that.
The grandparents and grandchildren are one and the same, both just as bossy!
Tess Baker simply cleaned up. Being pregnant, she didn’t even put on makeup for fear of the effect on the fetus. At five minutes past nine, Bowen Carter’s car arrived downstairs.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
When she got in the car, he was in a video conference, mouthing a string of languages she didn’t understand, like German.
And there was a huge pile of papers to his left position, all of which should have been dealt with in a hurry.
“Fasten your seat belt.” Bowen Carter whipped his head around and told her, waiting for her to fasten her seat belt before continuing the video conference.
When he was done driving, Tess Baker asked him, “If you’re so busy, why are you still going?”
“How can work be any busier than your son?” Bowen Carter opened a file and looked at it at a glance as he spoke to her.
They say that men are most attractive when they are serious about their work, and Tess Baker just got a visual today. It’s really hard not to be impressed by the way he works.
The baby on his WeChat, I wonder if he fell in love with him because of the way he works.
The little one sitting upright in the classroom sneezed loudly, “Who’s scolding me?”
…
The little guy goes to an expensive school.
When Tess Baker and Bowen Carter arrived, there were already rows and rows of luxury cars parked inside the school, with cars like BMW Mercedes serving only as padding.
They got out of the car and were led by their teacher to an indoor lawn area.
Several round tables were set up on the lawn with champagne and wine pastries and fruit, while dozens of life-size mannequin toys were erected next to them.
With stylishly dressed women and suited men talking and laughing, and children running around on the grass, the place looked more like a party scene than a parent-teacher conference.
“Master Carter, it’s on the news that you just landed a big deal, congratulations!”
“Master Carter it’s been a long time, you’re just getting more and more instrumental!”
“Your child also goes to school here? My child is also here, what a fate!”
As soon as they saw Bowen Carter, these people surrounded him like bees smelling nectar, and their smiling faces bloomed like chrysanthemums, and several of them smiled so much that they couldn’t even see their eyes.
By the time Tess Baker came back to her senses, she had been pushed out of the crowd. But she had no interest in these people either, so she simply went in search of the little one.
But after searching for a while, I couldn’t find it.
“Get out of the way! The woman in front of you, talking about you, hurry up and get out of my way!”
A toothy child’s voice came from behind, and Tess Baker rushed to the side, but she had just moved a step when a child crashed into her.
The child was small, but the impulse was so strong that Tess Baker was unable to stabilize her body, and her whole body fell backward. Afraid of hurting the child, she rushed to protect her stomach.
Wow!
Pastries and fruit spilled all over the table, while wine champagne and juice pretty much spilled all over Tess Baker’s body.
It was only the ninth day of the first month, the temperature was still very low, the temperature of the air conditioning here is not high, her clothes were wet most of the time, cool, cold, she had goose bumps.
And just now the table knocked on the back of the waist, she estimated the bruises, and now some pain, she can not stand up by herself.
“Ooooooooo … it hurts … mom, it hurts me, ooooooooooo …” Before Tess Baker said something, the fallen child cried out first.
It was then that Tess Baker noticed the child who had hit her, white and chubby, looking strong and crying without even a tear in his eye.
