Chapter 450
Be‘s POV
When it was almost noon, I suddenly received a call from Herbert
Seeing that it was his call, I immediately picked it up with a smile. “Mr. Wharton, I wonder which
restaurant you‘re at now? You don‘t have to pick me up. I can go by myself.”
I didn‘t know why, but now that I couldn‘t see him for a long time, I missed him very much
I felt that I was more and more dependent on him in our rtionship. I wanted to be with him every day,
but he needed work and I had to work hard for my career. Otherwise, I really wanted to be with him 24
hours a day.
But this time, he said in a serious tone, “Be, I‘m sorry. I have something to do at thest minute. ! cant
have lunch with you at noon today.”
Hearing this, although I was very disappointed, I also knew that it was not his intention.
The next moment, I yed the role of a reasonable wife. “Work is more important, and you‘re engaged in
social activities. I‘ll be very considerate to you.”
After a moment of silence, he said warmly, “You are more important than work. What happened today
has nothing to do with work.”
“What are you going to do at noon?” At this time, I asked in confusion.
This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Herbert then replied, “William will bury Daniel Morgan‘s corpse and carry out the funeral. After all, Daniel
Morgan is considered number one in the business world of A City. In addition, K.G. Software Company is
an old customer of the Wharton Group. That‘s why several business friends want to pay their respect.
The funeral home is in the suburbs, and I definitely won‘t be able to make it back at noon.”
Hearing this, my hand, which was holding my phone, froze, and I had mixed feelings in my heart.
William still buried his father‘s corpse.”
When I thought of Ryan‘s sudden death, although I was very reluctant, I would bury his body and hold
his funeral
The father and son used to have a good rtionship, but since William‘s mother passed away, the two of
the gradually drifted away In fact, there is still a deep rtionship between them, so their situation is
different from yours and Ryan‘s.’ Herbert soon understood what I was thinking
I realized that he really knew me better and better. He knew everything “Viell, go ahead. I’ll have lunch
with Joey” I was a little depressed and quickly hung up the phone
At noon, I saw that it was almost lime, so I opened the door and went out of my office
As soon as I opened the door, I suddenly saw Joey looking at a bag in a daze When she saw me cofring
out, she immediately hid it under the table
I could help but feel strange Joey and I were almost wearing the same pair of pants She knew almost
everything about me and Herbert‘s life in bed there was no need to hide anything from me
The next moment, I walked up to Joey and asked her with a stern face, ‘What were you buding just
now?
“What... what did I hide?” Joey stammered.
I took a closer look at Joey and found that her face was flushed red as if someone had pulled her little
braid. I couldn‘t help but feel more suspicious.
“What did you hide under the table just now?” I bent down and reached for the bag under the table.
Joey stopped her. “Stop it… What can I hide?”
“I‘ve already seen it, yet you‘re still lying.” This was the first time I had seen Joey like this, and I thought
that something must be off.
At this time, when Joey saw me, she made up her mind and took the bag under the table to the desk.
“Take a look. You‘re so curious!”
I took a look at Joey, then I took the bag and looked inside. It was a ck shirt.
The next moment, I took out the clothes from the bag in confusion. When I opened it, I saw that it was a
man‘s pants and a price tag. Seeing the price on it, I couldn‘t help frowning.
“Did you buy this?” I asked, holding the pants.
“Yes.” Joey nodded.
At this time, I couldn‘t help but ask in surprise, “You don‘t have a husband or a boyfriend. Who do you
buy pants for? Your brother is the only one closest to you, but you have no contact with him now. You
won‘t spend more than a hundred dors to buy a pair of pants for him.”
“Can‘t I buy it for my male friend?” Joey put her arms in front of her chest, looking like a dead mouse that
felt no cold.
“A male friend? What‘s his surname? Where does he live? Where does he work? Do I know him?” |
asked a series of questions in one breath.
Seeing that she really couldn‘t take it, Joey had no choice but to say, “Sigh, didn‘t I identally knock
the coffee over Connor‘s pantsst time? That pair of pants is very expensive, and I‘ve always felt
uneasy, so I just wanted to buy a pair of pants topensate him. It‘s not asplicated as you think.”
Hearing this, I was silent for a moment, and then I kept staring at Joey.
“Hey, why are you looking at me like that?” Joey‘s eyes shed.
Then, I looked at Joey and teased her. “I don‘t think that‘s right. This isn‘t your usual style. Tell me, do
you have a good impression of him?”
At this time, Joey‘s face turned red!
“You‘re blushing. I guessed right!” | pointed to Joey and said.
“If you keep talking nonsense, I‘ll be angry. All right, all right. It‘s past 12 o‘clock. I‘m starving to death.
Let‘s go for lunch.” In the end, Joey pulled me and left.
I understood Joey too well. I had guessed what was on her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn‘t be blushing,
and she wouldn‘t have changed the topic so quickly. Besides, she invited me to have a big meal very
generously today, so I was more convinced of my guess.
I began to feel a bit worried for Joey. Last time, I was the one who had matched Connor with Joey.
Although Joey didn‘t know anything about it, Connor had said that he didn‘t have any feelings for Joey,
which was why he didn‘t bring it up again.
Right now, Joey really wanted to fall in love with Connor, but Connor didn‘t like her.
11.49 Joey would definitely be sad, so I was a little sad. What should I do to keep Joey from being hurt?
