Chapter 242 – The Senior Seeks Her Help
“Why are you so early, Senpai?” It was only 9:45, she thought she was early enough.
Dennis Gate had a warmth hidden under his eyes, “Afraid of being late.”
Arrive early so you can see her more.
“Has the senior been waiting long?” Tess Baker took off her coat with some effort and sat down on the couch across from him.
“Just arrived not long ago.” It’s only been an hour or so of waiting, “What would you like to drink?”
“A cup of original milk tea.” She didn’t really like coffee, it was a little bitter.
Dennis Gate called the waiter, ordered a latte, gave her an original milk tea, and ordered a few more small snacks.
Neither spoke after the waitress left.
Tess Baker has mixed feelings. The senior helped her so much, but she was dragged into it, the senior confessed to her, but he rejected her, guilt, gratitude and embarrassment are intertwined, she has a lot to say, but she doesn’t know what to say.
“You …”
“You …”
Both men spoke at the same time, and they looked at each other–
“You first.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“You first.”
Again, they spoke together.
Dennis Gate smiled and pushed the plate of snacks the waiter had just brought over towards her, “Ladies first, you go first.”
Tess Baker couldn’t do it as easily as he did, “Senior, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, and, I’m sorry!”
She stood up and bent down very solemnly to apologize.
The moment she bent down, the tears turned under her eyes and were forced back.
From the moment Bowen Carter suppressed The Gate Group, or from the moment Master Gate died, she was destined to be ashamed of her seniors for the rest of her life!
“No need to say you’re sorry.” Dennis Gate stood up, sighed softly, and stroked her head as before, “I never blamed you.”
How could he blame her?
“I’m really sorry, senior.” It was because of her that The Gate Group fell into crisis twice, that he was ostracized by the Gate family people, and that Senior Gate passed away.
She’d rather he blamed her, so she could feel better inside!
Half a long time later, Dennis Gate said: “Even without you, The Carter Group will still go after The Gate Group, it’s just a matter of time, you don’t have to feel so guilty.”
I don’t blame her, I blame him for being too weak to protect the woman he likes, or his family!
He sat down first, “You sit down too, bending over with your stomach, not uncomfortable?”
It was indeed quite hard, and Tess Baker sat down, wondering if what he said was meant to comfort her or the truth. But either way, she felt less than half guilty about him.
At that moment, the waiter came up and put coffee, milk tea and a few other small snacks on the table.
“Have something sweet to soothe your nerves.” Dennis Gate pushed the treat toward her heels, a struggle flickering under his eyes, and said in a fake voice, “Or if you’re really guilty, you could do me a favor.”
“You tell me, as long as I can help, I will do my best to help you!” Tess Baker’s eyes burst with amazing light, she was only afraid that she couldn’t help her senior!
Dennis Gate took a sip of his coffee, fragrant, but bitter.
“Seniors?” Tess Baker shouted.
“Hmm.” Dennis Gate collected the smile on his face, picked up a cactus from the floor and put it on the table, “Can you help me put this in Master Carter’s office?”
Tess Baker pursed her lips and didn’t make a sound.
Business spies, the most hated and most passionate type of businessmen!
Bowen Carter had other women on the side, but never treated her badly, and she couldn’t in good conscience put something like that in his office!
“The Carter Group and The Gate Group are competing for a project recently, and if The Carter Group loses that project, the full-year profit won’t be affected much. But if The Gate Group loses this project …” Dennis Gate paused for a moment and spat out two words with difficulty, “it will die.”
Tess Baker clutched the corner of her coat, and the blood disappeared from her face.
She was the one who put The Gate Group in this situation, and now she’s going to do nothing to save them? But if she really helped the seniors to do such a thing, I’m sorry Bowen Carter!
“I can guarantee that I will only compete with The Carter Group for this one project, and when I’m successful, you can move the cactus out of the pot.” Dennis Gate has never done anything so despicable, but if he doesn’t, The Gate Group will disappear from the world’s view in no time!
Tess Baker swallowed hard, “the Gate family joined with the Park family … doesn’t work either?”
The Park family is not as good as the Carter family, but it is still a powerful family, and ordinary powerful families can only look up to it! Will the Gate family see the fall of the family?
“Uh-huh.” Dennis Gate clenched his fists tightly, his voice soft. He was engaged to Puppy for the purpose of marriage, but to his surprise, the Park family refused to help THE Gate family for fear of offending THE Carter family!
Things have come to this point, he and Puppy will only have one more big enemy if they cancel the engagement, and this mistake can only continue!
Tess Baker picked up the milk tea and drank a cup, not tasting anything.
She looked at the cactus on the table and was incredibly torn.
“I’ll think of something else.” Dennis Gate’s handsome face was in a state of embarrassment as he picked up the potted plant and tried to put it down.
Tess Baker grabbed the potted plant and moved over to her at his confused stare, “This project really doesn’t matter to The Carter Group, does it?”
“Here’s the information about this program.” Dennis Gate pulled out a piece of information.
Tess Baker took the information, folded it in half and put it in her lady’s handbag, her face was excessively pale, “I’ll go back and read it and get back to you, is that okay?”
Not far away, Frank Duke hooked his lips at the conversing pair, pressed the brim of his hat down, and exited the café in a cheerful mood.
Tess Baker carried the potted plant and left the cafe, still in a trance.
“Ah, Tess, you’re here too!”
Tess Baker was startled by a tap on her shoulder and realized that she was tapped by Linda Mark, who was also carrying a large belly.
Cliff Ford came impatiently, “Linda Mark, would it kill you to slow down? Do you know you have a baby? See how peaceful your sister-in-law is, can’t you learn from her?”
“Why are you chattering all day, just like my mother.” Linda Mark pushed him away.
Cliff Ford grunted twice and his eyes fell on the potted plant in Tess Baker’s hand, “Sister-in-law, what are you doing holding a potted plant on such a cold day?”
“Like it, buy it.” Tess Baker tugged at the corner of her lips, but there wasn’t a hint of a smile under her eyes.
“Sister-in-law just came out of the café?” Cliff Ford’s eyes glowed, “Is Carter still in there? I’ll get Carter!”
Haven’t seen Carter in a while!
“He’s not here!” Tess Baker hurriedly pulled him back, if he saw that the senior was also in the cafe, he would definitely add vinegar and report to Bowen Carter. At that time, there is no telling how Bowen Carter will suppress the seniors!
Cliff Ford, “???”
Why is your sister-in-law acting strange today?
