The moment Joanna Haynes heard that, her rage hit the roof!
“Bruce Everett, what is your problem?”
“Heh, you’re the one who called to ask me out, not the other way round!”
“With this attitude, I don’t think there’s even a need for us to meet!” With that, Bruce hung up on
Joanna.
He was confident.
He was very confident that Joanna would call him again.
“Hello, hello…” Joanna said a few times in exasperation. However, all she could hear was a beep
signaling that the line was busy.
Beep, beep, beep!
Bruce’s phone vibrated again.
After Bruce had hung up, Joanna was so angry that her face turned purple. She immediately dialed his
number again.
Seeing that Joanna had called him again, Bruce pursed his lips and smiled.
He knew that she would call again.
Beep, beep, beep!
His phone kept vibrating but he purposely
hose not to pick up her call.
He wanted to keep
her in
suspense
Soon after…
A familiar tone came
from the other end of the line. “Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
Joanna brushed away the stray hair on her forehead before sending a text to Bruce.
“Answer the phone right now, I have something to ask you!”
Bruce looked at the text from Joanna and a hint of mockery appeared on his handsome face.
He could tell that she was anxious!
As long as she was anxious, she would start panicking. When that happens, it would be too easy for
him to deal with her.
Beep, beep, beep!
Joanna’s third call came quickly!
After his phone vibrated for a while, Bruce slowly picked up the call just as the call was about to end.
“Hello! Speak!”
Joanna took a deep breath and tried hous
best to suppress her anger as she asked, “Bruce Everett, what exactly do you want?”
“What is that supposed to mean? What exactly do you want?”
“Where are you now? I need to see you!” Joanna’s tone sounded cold.
Bruce chuckled and replied mockingly with
“Dolb
to see you just because you need to see me?”
“Who do you think you are that I have to listen to you?”
“Alright fine, we can talk over the phone!”
“What’s going on with the Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group? Don’t you think that what you did
is despicable?”
Bruce snorted before saying, “I told you, I’m not interested in talking about work!”
“If you want to talk about work, I’m hanging up!”
When Joanna heard this, she was so angry that pain shot through her heart. Her hand that was holding Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
the phone was trembling!
“Bruce Everett, can you not be like
“Then what do you
want me to do? Hmm” Bruce’s nasal voice was very heavy and he sounded amorous.
“I need to meet you!”
“Give me a reason why I should meet you!”
“I just need to meet you, there is no other reason!”
Bruce smiled playfully as he answered, “Perhaps I can consider meeting you if you change the word
‘need’ to ‘want”!”
Joanna exhaled and suppressed her anger. “… I want to see you!”
“How much do you want it? Hmm?” Bruce’s tone carried a hint of teasing.
His teasing was extremely infuriating.
Joanna could no longer suppress her anger as she scolded, “Are you crazy?”
“Yes, what a clever girl! You even know that I’m crazy!”
Joanna’s patience has completely worn out. “Are you going to meet me or not? If not, then forget it!”
“Is this the attitude of a person wanting to meet another?”
“Who knows, I might agree to meet you if you asked me in a nicer and gentler tone.”
Joanna closed her eyes and calmed down for a few seconds. She tried to make her voice as gentle as
possible. “Mr. Everett, I want to see you. Is that
okay?”
On the other end of the phone, Bruce’s lips curled into a smile.
However, his tone was abnormally cold and devoid of any emotion. “Come to my office at three in the
afternoon.”
“Can we go somewhere else?” Joanna asked as she didn’t really want to go to his office.
She wanted to meet him in a public place.
If they met alone, being the vile bas ta rd that he is, he would definitely “force” her again.
“No, if you want to meet me, you’ll have to come to my office!”
“I’ll meet you from 3 pm to 3.30 pm. I only have half an hour for you. If you don’t come, you won’t even
get half an hour!”
When Joanna heard that, she gritted her teeth in anger!
This da mn bas ta rd was really evil!
“Fine, I’ll be there at three in the afternoon)”
Bruce’s smile deepened as he replied, “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you!”
After that, he hung up.
Bruce felt inexplicably excited, and he could feel his blood burning with anticipation.
They had not seen each other for a month. His body missed her more than his heart!
It was finally three o’clock in the afternoon!
Joanna arrived at the Everett Group on time.
The front desk manager quickly greeted her, “Hello! Do you have an appointment?”
Joanna tried her best to suppress her emotions as she replied, “I have an appointment with Mr.
Everett.”
“Alright, this way please!” The front desk manager led Joanna to the elevator with a professional smile.
After that, he swiped the elevator card to bring her straight to the floor where Bruce’s office is.
“Ms. Haynes, please come in!”
“Thank you,” Joanna replied before walking into the elevator.
Half a minute later!
The elevator arrived at the floor where Bruce was.
The front desk manager brought Joanna to the secretary’s desk on that floor.
Andy was already waiting. When he saw Joanna, he immediately smiled and greeted her, “Hello, Ms.
Haynes!”
“Please follow me!”
With that, Andy personally led Joanna to Bruce’s office.
Three minutes later.
The two of them arrived at the door of Bruce’s office.
Andy led Joanna in and they took a turn past the fitness area before arriving at the administrative
office.
“Mr. Everett is in the office. You can go in yourself, Ms. Haynes!”
“Alright, thank you!”
“You’re welcome!” Andy smiled before taking his leave.
Joanna took a glance!
This office didn’t look like an office at all. It was ridiculously big and there was even a mini golf course.
Although she had been involved with Bruce for many years, this was the first time she had been inside
his office!
Joanna opened the door with a creak and walked in!
The office was huge!
It felt like she couldn’t see the end of it from where she was.
Joanna walked quite a few steps inside. Suddenly, Bruce’s voice sounded, “Coming!”
He had been watching her through the surveillance camera from the moment she entered the company
to his officet
“Alright!” Joanna replied.
She looked inside and saw Bruce behind the long desk. He had his legs on the desk and was lazily
leaning against the swivel chair as he sized her up with
a faint smile!
Joanna was dressed professionally today.
She was in a white blouse, suit, and trousers, She wore black framed glasses with her hair casually sc
att ered, She did not put on any make-up, not even lip gloss.
However, she was naturally beautiful. Even if she deliberately dressed up professionally, it could not
hide her beauty.
“Have a seat!” Bruce looked straight at her with a smirk,
He did not like her old-fashioned dressing,
Every time they met alone, she would wear a black and white business suit. She was cold and
involuntarily distanced herself from him.
On the other hand, when she went to meet Jaydon Grimm, she would always dress up meticulously
and look more feminine.
This made Bruce even more displeased.
Joanna did not sit down but said bluntly, “Bruce Everett, what exactly do you want?”
Bruce shifted his legs off the table and raised his eyebrow slightly as he replied, “What are you talking
about? I didn’t do anything to you.”
Joanna’s face was tense with a hint of anger. “Skywinds and Neorace canceled their orders with the
Haynes Group. You’re behind this, aren’t you?”
When Bruce heard this, he paused for a few seconds before standing up from his chair. “Heh, you said
it yourself. It’s a fair competition!”
“Besides, Skywinds and Neorance were originally working with the Everett Group!”
“You were the one who maliciously lowered the price and poached them. You were the one who spoiled
the market!”,
“Unfortunately for you, they’re back now.” Bruce suppressed the smugness in his heart and deliberately
pretended to be nonchalant,
He got up and went to the wine cabinet to pour two glasses of red wine.
Joanna’s face darkened. She gritted her teeth and asked, “In that case, why didn’t you do something
earlier? Why did you wait for me to build the factory in Mossbourne before making them cancel the
order?”
Bruce held up the two glasses of red wine and walked towards Joanna. “Heh, so what do you plan to
do? Have you discussed it with me?”
“Bruce Everett, do you know how despicable you are?”
Bruce handed one of the glasses of red wine to Joanna and said teasingly, “Yes, I do. Have a glass of
red wine. Don’t be so angry!”
“We haven’t seen each other for a month and you’re so angry! Looks like you need someone to help
you get rid of the fire!”
“Get lost!” Joanna took two steps back and did not take the wine he offered.
“Okay, I won’t touch
you!”
“You want to see me so badly, right? What exactly do you want?”
“Are you only here to question me?” Bruce’s mocking smile deepened.
