Chapter 308 – Let’s Pretend I’m Begging You
“Trouble Mark big sis.” Tess Baker nodded with the other woman and walked briskly to the elevator, Bowen Carter had just warned her yesterday that she would upset him if she delayed any longer today.
When she got off the elevator, Light was already waiting at the elevator door just like yesterday.
“Young granny, let’s say I’m begging you, okay? You go out early next time, it’s better for both you and me!” Ah Guang glanced at the time and said in a fiery voice, “Let’s hurry.”
Tess Baker followed him to the car, still thinking about her angry son, Bowen Carter and Wendy Summer had been eating together for two hours, right? Bowen Carter had been eating with Wendy Summer for about two hours, right? But if they were doing something else after dinner and she called, would she make Bowen Carter angry?
She licked her dry lips; Bowen Carter annoyed her, all the time. She took out her cell phone and called Bowen Carter.
After ringing for more than twenty seconds and no one answered, Tess Baker wrinkled her eyebrows, and her heart could not tell what she felt … Bowen Carter actually didn t even bother to answer her phone in order to go on a date with Wendy Summer!
She exhaled a heavy breath of depression and was about to hang up when the call came through and Bowen Carter’s voice came through on the other end of the phone without a hint of emotional rise or fall, “Yes?”
At the same time, the conference room at the headquarters of The Carter Group.
In front of the large conference table, sitting in a circle, The Carter Group managed to answer the phone with a shocked face Bowen Carter, still could not believe their eyes. Their meeting is talking about the last project leak, the result has always been a workaholic president actually during the meeting … to answer the phone?
ASSISTANT stood behind Bowen Carter, a glint of helplessness in his eyes. They were surprised at this? If they knew that the president had a car accident chasing the lady to the airport, they’d have to suspect that the president was possessed by a ghost, wouldn’t they?
“Mike saw me when I was wiping Wendy Summer’s feet with my shirt and he’s not happy right now, I’d like to go over to the old mansion and check on him, is that okay?” Tess Baker said in a low voice, not like her at all.
Bowen Carter’s thick ink-like sword brows furrowed as Tess Baker went so far as to wipe Wendy Summer’s feet with her shirt and be seen by her son?
“If you’re not comfortable with that, you can have someone follow me, and I promise I’ll only go to the old mansion to look for Mike, and absolutely nothing else. Bowen Carter, consider this a plea, okay?” Tess Baker was near begging.
Such a Tess Baker makes Bowen Carter’s heart pang, as if a million little thorns were sticking into it, “Wait!”
He spat out two words coldly, hung up the phone, rose sharply and said, “Dismissed!”
“President, we haven’t discussed a result yet, isn’t it better to solve such a big mistake earlier?” The director of the personnel department cautiously proposed.
Most of the others mean the same thing.
“Another hour and you can find out the results?” Bowen Carter sneered, took the coat handed to him by ASSISTANT and put it on, hurrying out of the conference room.
ASSISTANT followed closely behind, and when he reached the doorway he was pulled by the CFO’s arm, “ASSISTANT LEE, what’s so urgent about the president that it’s more important than even the leakage of the company’s information?”
“Madame called.” Assistant said succinctly.
The finance director raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Isn’t the relationship between our president and his wife … bad?”
“There are things you can’t see with your eyes.” ASSISTANT said meaningfully and walked out quickly.”
…
In the car.
“Waiting?” Tess Baker looked at the phone that had gone black and frowned as she repeated, what did Bowen Carter mean by that?
Ah Guang drove and surveyed her expression in the rearview mirror, “Master Carter cares so much about the young master, he will definitely let young grandmother go to the old mansion, so you should not worry too much.”
Tess Baker looked at her phone worriedly, after being together for so long, she couldn’t figure out Bowen Carter as a person … nor did she know if he would let her go to the old house.
Tess Baker was about to open the door and get out when the door on the other side opened and Bowen Carter got in with his long legs and told Kwang, “Drive.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“Where to?” Tess Baker had a bunch of things on her mind and didn’t react for a moment. And Bowen Carter was having dinner with Wendy Summer, so how come he came back and didn’t see Wendy Summer?
Bowen Carter didn’t answer her, just blushed hard enough to ask, “Who told you to wipe Wendy Summer’s feet with your own clothes?” Does Wendy Summer deserve it?
Tess Baker gave a numb chuckle; was he knowingly trying to humiliate her again with that question?
“You don’t have to serve Wendy Summer anymore.” Bowen Carter’s fists were clenched, hating himself for his lack of talent. tess Baker was so dedicated to being nice to Dennis Gate that he had every intention of teaching her a lesson, but it was only for a day and he couldn’t hold on … he couldn’t see anyone else humiliating her!
“Thank you, then.” Tess Baker’s eyebrows were light, and her mouth said thank you, but it was more like mockery. She even felt a sense of absurdity of going back to the feudal era, when the emperor said to beat her and she had to thank the Lord for his kindness.
She makes Bowen Carter uncomfortable like that, he looks away and ahead, “To the old mansion.”
“Got it, Master Carter. “Before Bowen Carter’s command, Ah Guang was driving towards the old mansion. He told him that the young granny and the young master were still different in Master Carter’s heart!
Upon hearing this, Tess Baker lifted her eyelids to look at Bowen Carter, and after a moment’s hesitation, said, “Thank you.”
It’s a mockery that she feels honored to even have the opportunity to leave the house once, surely she couldn’t have imagined a few years ago where she is today!
“I’m just doing it for Mike’s sake, not yours.” Bowen Carter couldn’t do not mind about the fact that she’d gone to great lengths to take care of Dennis Gate.
Tess Baker’s fists clenched unconsciously, her eyes lowered, her heart overwhelmed. Even if he didn’t say that, she knew she meant nothing to him, no, maybe just a bed partner!
The atmosphere inside the car is quiet, silent and depressing.
Light even breathed a little lighter, trying to lower his presence. He felt that Master Carter had Young Granny in his heart, though many times he felt that he didn’t, and he was getting confused about Master Carter’s mind!
…
The car stopped in front of the Carter family home, Tess Baker opened the car door, a pair of large bony hands suddenly handed to her eyes. She lifted her eyelids to look at the expressionless Bowen Carter, froze, and then released, to the old mansion side, he always have to do to show the old man.
She put her hand on his and got out of the car, and was about to let go when his hand suddenly went across her waist and wrapped around her in the direction of the tram.
Tess Baker wrinkled her nose and stiffened her body to accompany him in his act, a sort of payment for his agreeing to let her come to THE Carter family’s old mansion.
Bowen Carter saw that she hadn’t even struggled, and the oppressive feeling in his heart dispersed a bit as he wrapped his arms around her and got on the tram, the corners of his lips quirking up a little bit unnoticeably.
“I tell you to stop calling and you come to the door?” Seeing Tess Baker, the old man blew a gasket.
Tess Baker automatically ignored the old man’s words and anxiously searched the hall without finding the little one, “Grandpa, where’s the little … Cable?”
“Cable doesn’t want to see you and you don’t have to look.” Elder Carter pounded his cane on the ground a few times and glared at the two men, “Kneel down, both of you!”
