Chapter 39
“Why don’t we set up a time to meet up… Mr. Diaz, something’se up. I’ll talk to you next time.”
Cameron identally nced at Christian, who was standing at the door and was so shocked that his
heart nearly stopped. As such, he quickly hung up the phone.
He swallowed his saliva and said carefully, “Mr. Thatcher.”
Christian nodded. “Did I scare you by suddenlying in?”
“No, no!” With his heart pounding very quickly, Cameron said while smiling sheepishly, “I just didn’t
think that you’d be looking for me. I’m… I’m surprised. Yes, surprised!”
“You look like you’re in a good mood today,” Christian said casually.

Hearing that, Cameron swallowed his saliva again. “I’m just happy to have the pleasure of meeting
you.”
“Hmm?” Christian raised his brows slightly, but there was a hidden meaning behind it.
“O-Other than that, there’s another thing that has made me happy.” Cameron wiped the cold sweat off
his forehead and felt his knees buckle. “I found a treasure at the antique market recently.”
Christian walked a few steps to the couch and sat himself down. “You’re quite lucky, then. Do I have the
pleasure of looking at your treasure to get some luck from it?”
“Don’t even mention it, Mr. Thatcher. This jade ne is able to grab your attention.” Although
Cameron was not willing to, he still took out the jade ne and gave it to Christian with both of his
hands.
When Christian saw the jade ne, his eyes darkened a little. He then yed with the ne in
his hand and asked, “This jade ne is from the Renaissance period. It should be worth more than
ten million, but you found it in the antique market? Since you have such good taste, do you want me to
rmend you to the city’s art appraisal center? Hmm?”
“I… I…” Big droplets of sweat were flowing down Cameron’s face from his forehead.
While touching the cool and smooth jade ne, Christian said in a deep voice, “No rush. Think
properly before you answer.”
Cameron’s knees buckled, and he nearly fell down on his knees when he heard that. His eyes darted
around, and in the end, he said while grinding his teeth, “Victoria gave me this jade ne. She
wanted me to help her change her job position.”
Fearing that Christian would misinterpret his words, he said quickly, “But I’ve always worked with
diligence and discipline throughout my ten years in Delta Club, so how could I break the rules just for a
jade ne? I asked Miss Charlotte about it, and I changed Victoria’s job only after Miss Charlotte
agreed to it. I didn’t decide it myself!”
At this moment, he was feeling very grateful that he had asked Charlotte about it first.
“When did Victoria give you the jade ne?”
“This afternoon,” Cameron answered right away.
With his right arm propping his leg, Christian yed with the ne in his hand and asked casually,
“Do you know why she wants to change her job?”
“Being a janitor is very tiring.” Cameron assumed. “They’re always despised, and the sry is not good
either. If she can be a hostess and meet a generous dandy, she can get quite an amount of
money, and there’s no need to be this tired. She might even meet an innocent rich man and turn from
rags to riches. It’s definitely better than being a janitor!”
“Did she tell you that herself?” Christian looked up. His dark gazended on Cameron as though he
could see right through him.
At this moment, Cameron’s heart skipped a beat. His face reddened as he stuttered, “N-No, it’s j-just
my guess.”
Why does Mr. Thatcher care so much about Victoria’s matters? Does he know her? I’ve arranged so
much work for her throughout this period, though. Will Mr. Thatcher be unhappy about it?
At this thought, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
P-Probably not. If Mr. Thatcher really knew Victoria, he wouldn’t have let her be a hostess and a
janitor at Delta Club. I’m just thinking too much.
Meanwhile, Christian stared at Cameron straight in the eye. Just when thetter felt pins and needles
on his head while his limbs were weak and his mind was nk, only then did Christian look away and
turn around, leaving the room.
”Mr. Thatcher!” Seeing that, Cameron quickly dragged his buckled knees to chase after Christian and
shouted anxiously.
When Christian heard that, he stopped and turned to look at him. “Is there anything else?”
“Mr. Thatcher, the…” Cameron stared at the jade ne in his hand and pointed at it. Even though
he wanted it back, he didn’t dare say frankly, making his face turn red from frustration.
Christian yed with the jade ne in his hand and nced at him without much expression.
“Hmm?”
“N-Nothing.” Cameron felt so upset as though his favorite toy had been snatched away, but he didn’t
have the courage to take it back from Christian. As such, he could only say with duplicity, “It’s already
late. Be careful when you go back.”
Hearing that, Christian nodded slightly and kept the jade ne under Cameron’s painful gaze
before turning around to leave.
“This Victoria only brings me trouble!” Cameron grinded his teeth and scolded with a stream of
coldness shing in his eyes. I’m definitely going to kick her a*s.
After Christian left the room, he walked a few steps to the front and headed into the CEO’s office.
“Mr. Thatcher.” Someone was reporting Delta Club’s recent procurement matters to Charlotte. When he
saw Christiane in, he bowed down and greeted him immediately.
Christian gave him a hum and waved at him, asking him to leave the room.
“I just wanted to tell you something, and you’re here already. What a coincidence.” Charlotte stood up
with an alluring smile and boiled some hot water, ready to make some tea. “There are too many janitors
in the club, but the number of hostesses isn’t enough, so I decided to transfer Victoria over.”
“Is the clubcking hostesses? Do you want me to hire a batch for you?” he asked subtly while ying
with the jade ne in his hand.
When he recalled Victoria wearing the bodycon dress that showed her thigh and how she drank with
other men, his grip on the ne strengthened, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong with him.
At this moment, Charlotte nced at the jade ne in his hand, which looked quite familiar, and
clicked her tongue. “I’m just joking with you. Did you really believe me?”novelxo fast update
“Why did you transfer her back?” After walking to the office chair, he sat down and tapped the table
with his fingers subconsciously.
When she saw that, she raised her brows as a stream of interest shed in her beautiful eyes. He’s
tapping the table? I don’t remember thest time I saw him show his emotions like this.
She then nced at the jade ne in his hand and smiled meaningfully. “Aren’t you holding a
grudge against Victoria? I just thought that I should attack her weak spot. It’s quite useless to let
arrogant people like her engage in hardbor, so I thought I’d let her entertain the customers to train
her not to be so hot-tempered.”
Just then, his action of tapping the table came to a halt, and there was not much change in his
expression, but Charlotte could still feel that he was unhappy.
The water was boiling, so she made tea while saying with a smile, “Are you reluctant to see that? Oh,
right. Miss Coleman is so delicate and has been following behind you, pursuing you for so many years.
It’s quite normal if you feel sorry for her…”
“Charlotte,” Christian raised his eyes and called her name coldly.
“This is a great tea that I got recently. Try it.” After she was done making the tea, she pushed a tea cup
to his front.
Following that, he picked the tea cup up and took a small sip, but the tea was too hot. He frowned a
little and put the tea cup back on the table.
“Well, this is funny! Who’s in your mind that can make you burn yourself from drinking tea?” She
laughed her head off with some tears in her charming eyes. “I think no one will believe me if I tell
anyone about this.”
With a darkened face, Christian nced sideways at her.
