Chapter 32 The senior is so naive
“President, it’s only five o’clock.” assistant stood aside and reminded.
“My eyes are not blind.” Bowen Carter looked up and gave him a cool look.
assistant, “…”
So what are you doing staring at your phone all the time? It’s a full seven hours until 12:00 p. m.!
…
Tess Baker sat in her office with the contract Bowen Carter had given her and read it over several times, but still hadn’t made up her mind.
She exhaled deeply and leaned back in her chair, thinking about the chances of escaping under Bowen Carter’s watch – and the answer was zero!
Doh…
Linda Mark sent a message from WeChat.
[Tess, let’s go to dinner tonight! How about BBQ?]
Tess Baker felt that if she continued to dwell on this, she wouldn’t be able to dwell on anything, so she might as well go out and relax, so she agreed.
After work, she drove to the big stall that Linda Mark had mentioned.
The sun had already set and the temperature had dropped. It was only about seven o’clock, and the stall was already crowded under the pergola that had been built outside.
As soon as Tess Baker stepped out of the car, her good figure had already attracted the attention of many men. When she lifted her burgundy waves behind her ears to reveal her delicate features, many men began to jump at the chance.
Long accustomed to such stares, Tess Baker didn’t take it to heart and began to look for the target person in the overwhelming crowd.
“Tess Baker!”
Just when Tess Baker was considering whether to make a phone call to ask for a location, a warm and nice voice came from the front, followed by a group of people’s exclaiming –
“So handsome!”
“They look so good together, they should be boyfriend and girlfriend, right?”
“Oh my God, I envy this beauty, she has such a handsome and elegant boyfriend!”
This big stall branch inside and outside the store pergola, Tess Baker has always thought Linda Mark so good lively will eat outside, but did not expect is in the store … also did not expect seniors will come.
“Seniors.” Tess Baker smiled a little and walked towards him.
They stood side by side, their faces were superb, the turnaround rate was 100 percent, and the two had long been accustomed to it.
“Linda Mark is waiting for us on the third floor.” Dennis Gate led her up the stairs, inclining his head.
Tess Baker hmmed, not knowing what to say.
The Gate Group was now in such a big trouble, did the seniors know that it was her fault? If she knew … would the seniors blame her?
“You have something on your mind?” Dennis Gate has been paying attention to her look and asked with some concern.
Tess Baker smiled, “What can I do? At most, I’m worried about grabbing Linda for the barbecue.”
She wanted to ask The Gate Group how they were doing, but she didn’t have the courage.
“Don’t worry about that.” Dennis Gate wanted to rub her hair, but halfway through, his hand retracted, “More, no need to steal.”
“I’m just kidding, why do you take it seriously?” Tess Baker has been in the business world for more than five years, and has rarely seen people with such simple thoughts.
When Dennis Gate heard this, he realized that she was just joking and his ears turned red.
Tess Baker looked at his red ears and couldn’t stop laughing. He looked like a young lady being bullied by a dude!
Fortunately, the two of them had already reached the third floor, Linda Mark ran out from the private room to look for them, “Tess, are you a snail? If I don’t come out to look for you, do you have to move step by step until tomorrow?”
“The senior went to pick me up, why don’t you say the senior is slow?” Tess Baker disliked back.
Linda Mark deflated her mouth and gave her a contemptuous glance, “Senior has long legs, you must be the one with short legs who can’t keep up!”
“Baby, are you blind? Do you want me to refer you to a good eye doctor?” Tess Baker smiled conspiratorially.
“Fuck off! I’m 5. 3 in both eyes!!!”
“Oh, that’s a blind heart. Blind eyes can still be cured, blind hearts are terminal!”
The two made their way to the private room, with Dennis Gate laughing indulgently from the sidelines.
“Mommy…” The little guy hadn’t seen his mommy for a long time, so he stretched out his two little arms and crawled up his mommy’s legs into his arms, and then barks, rewarding him with a kiss.
Tess Baker hugged him, looked down at the oil stains on his legs and clothes, and touched the mixture of oil and saliva on his face, and his temples popped.
“Little bastard, retreat before your mommy freaks out!” Linda Mark hugged the little one and quickly withdrew from the front line, sitting furthest away from Tess Baker.
“Mike Baker!” Tess Baker looked at the little guy who still had the oyster in his hand and smiled extra creepy, “Did I ever tell you not to hug me when you have a bunch of oil on your hands, huh?”
The little one shrank into Linda Mark’s arms, pitifully, “Mommy, I just miss you so much!”
“Tess Baker, you are not allowed to criticize my godson!” Linda Mark stepped directly in front of the little one, like an old hen protecting her chicks.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Dennis Gate, holding a tissue and handing it to Tess Baker, was also helping to persuade, “He just misses you too much and doesn’t think too much about it, don’t blame him!”
Tess Baker, “…”
She glanced into Linda Mark’s arms, the little one was smiling thievishly and made a face at her, where was the look of fear?
Tess Baker sighed and took a paper towel and wiped the grease off her body, she really owed them both in her last life!
Everyone arrived and started to order.
The little guy ordered two oysters and three chicken wings in advance, and had already eaten almost everything, so Tess Baker didn’t count him when he ordered again.
The business here is very hot, a few people order, a moment can not be delivered, so sit together and chat. Ignoring the little guy’s age and gender, he was just like Dennis Gate’s future mother-in-law –
“Wow, pretty uncle looks so elegant, what do you do?”
“Pretty uncle, do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of my mommy?”
“Pretty uncle, do you mind if your future partner marries you with a baby?”
The little guy asked seriously, Dennis Gate answered seriously, and Linda Mark listened seriously.
Tess Baker was left as the party in question, embarrassed and wanting to bury her face in a plate with only two empty oyster shells left. She tried to interrupt this matchmaking-like conversation, but was unsuccessful.
Fortunately, the waiter came and brought up ten skewers of lamb six wings and six scallops.
“Eat!” Tess Baker directly took a barbecue wing and stuffed it into Linda Mark’s mouth, then handed Dennis Gate a scallop, “Senior, the scallops here are very good, you try them!”
Linda Mark took a bite of the barbecue wing and gave Tess Baker a hard stare, gesturing with her eyes, “You’re ruining my day!”
“Baby, don’t mess with it!” Tess Baker returned her look, the corners of her eyes slightly curled, tinged with infinite charm.
The little guy was not happy about it and coughed twice to get his mommy’s attention. However, the two women were frowning at each other and didn’t even notice him.
