Chapter 351


    Be’s POV:


    My colleagues were talking about it. “Linda and Mr. Wharton, did they have a fight?” “I‘m sure.


    Linda is still angry. Mr. Wharton is trying to coax her.” “Linda is so blissful to have a boyfriend


    like Mr. Wharton.”


    “Right. He’s a handsome, capable boss. If I were Linda, as long as he gave me a nce, I


    wouldn’t be angry.”


    “Linda is not like you. She is also a beautiful and capable woman…”


    Listening to these words, I felt that there was a big difference between their spection and the


    real situation.


    But I didn’t say anything and just continued to observe carefully.


    The general manager raised his ss to give Linda a toast, and so did the other executives of the


    company


    At this time, Herbert stepped forward in time to block the liquor for Linda. He had only drank a


    little but for Linda, he drank a few cups of white wine.


    Seeing this, the general managerughed loudly. “Mr. Wharton, you really are a gentleman.”


    “Linda is my friend. Of course, I have to take care of her. Besides, it‘s impolite for a beautiful


    woman to drink too much with you men.” Herbert‘s tone was cold.


    “Yes, yes, yes, let‘s drink.” The general manager raised his ss again. At this point, Herbert was not


    like before. He drank one ss after another with Stephen Firm‘s men.


    Linda stepped forward to help Herbert, so she drank a lot.


    All of a sudden, everyone burst intoughter.


    “It’s true that Linda and Mr. Wharton, are a match made in heaven. Look, both are afraid that each other


    will drink too much. They‘ve always been drinking for each other. They‘re so loving!”


    “Mr. Wharton, Linda, have you already decided on your rtionship?”


    “Can you stop making a fuss? In fact, we…” Linda blushed all of a sudden. She wanted to exin, but


    she didn‘t know what to say.


    At this time, Herbert suddenly said, “In fact, Linda has never epted my pursuit. So, whether I am


    Linda‘s prince charming or not, it still needs time to test!”


    Hearing this, everyone sighed.


    Herbert pursued Linda, but Linda didn’t agree.


    This was really beyond everyone‘s expectations.. Therefore, the general manager then said to Linda,


    “Linda, don’t be too picky. Mr. Wharton is such an outstanding man.” Linda forced a smile and did not


    speak.


    At this time, Connor, who was sitting next to the general manager, immediately tried to smooth things


    over. In an instant, everyone’s attention was once again focused on drinking.


    I heard it clearly from the side. Herbert was a gentleman when it came to Linda. Today, he made


    everyone think that he couldn‘t court Linda, but in fact, he respected and protected Linda. But since he


    didn‘t like Linda, why did he provoke Linda? In my heart, I secretly cursed him. He was a scum. It was


    almost ten o‘clock before the meeting ended. Everyone left the table one after another. I carried my bag


    with one hand and held the wall with the other, feeling a little dizzy.


    At this moment, a strong arm suddenly held me, and my heart skipped a beat!


    This arm was strong. It was so familiar with it. I was overjoyed and turned to look at it, but the happy


    smile froze on my face


    The person holding me was not Herbert, who I had imagined, but the assistant of Herbert, Connor. At


    this moment, I was indescribably disappointed.


    “Miss Stepanek, you drank too much.” Connor asked with concern.


    “I’m fine, thank you!” I replied.


    After that, I followed my colleagues into the elevator, and Connor left with Herbert. My colleagues


    began to talk about it.


    “Connor is the special assistant of the president of the Wharton Group, Herbert. It is said that he


    has a lot of power in thepany.” “Right. Although his position is only that of the special


    assistant of Herbert, in actual fact, his power is even greater than that of the vice president of the


    company.”


    “Be, what‘s the rtionship between you and Connor?” “Nothing special”


    I replied with one sentence.


    The elevator just reached the first floor. I walked straight out of the elevator.


    At this time, I saw that Herbert was holding Linda‘s shoulder. Linda should be a little drunk, and


    Herbert was protecting her. The general managerughed. “Mr. Wharton, are you going to myExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    friend’s newly opened bar?”


    “No. Linda drank too much. I‘ll take her home.” Herbert‘s expression was still cold.


    “Alright, I‘ll see you again. I hope we can have a good time working together in the next few


    days.” At this time, Herbert said, “As long as Linda is in Stephen Firm, I will naturally take care of


    Stephen Firm. Do you understand what I mean?”


    Upon hearing this, the general manager immediately nodded and said, “Understood, understood,


    I will definitely put her in an important position in the future!”


    These words made Herbert very satisfied. He looked up in this direction, and I immediately stood


    up straight, thinking that he was looking at me. The next moment, Connor walked quickly to the


    front of Herbert. He whispered something to Connor, and then walked out of the hotel lobby with


    Linda in his arms, surrounded by the crowd.


    For a moment, I was left here alone.


    Looking at the back of Herbert who was leaving with Linda in his arms, I suddenly felt so lonely
