    Chapter 286 The Soup


    After Hank left the Armstrong Family, the news immediately spread to the newswork inside the


    Barnwell group. The directors stood in front of him, almost kneeling down to apologize and confess. But


    Hank only took a look and knew that they were acting. “Stop acting. Do you want Terry to go back to


    thepany? Okay, I agree. Do you have any other requests?” Director Qin’s face was pale and he


    shook his head. “No, no, no, Mr. Barnwell, we are not going to plead for him. This whole thing was


    nned by Terry. We hope that you can handle it seriously. It is best not to let hime back to the


    Hank’s eyes turned cold. “Director Qin, as far as I know, Terry treats you quite well. You sold him off


    just because you wanted to protect yourself?” “It was that kid who burned the bridge after crossing the


    river. I did this for the sake of thepany.” Director Qin snorted coldly. “It turns out that you also know


    that making such a big joke is damaging to the Barnwell group’s face.” Hank’s handsome face sank.


    “Everyone, hand over all the shares in your hands. At most, I will leave you five percent. Before next


    Monday, I want to see the handover procedures.” Director Qin and the others were all stunned. “Mr.


    Barnwell, please, don’t be so ruthless.”


    “If the Barnwell group is suppressed to the point that it can’t turn over because of this matter, or if it falls


    into others’ hands, do you still have the qualifications to bargain with me?” Hank had always kept his


    word. The few directors begged for mercy, but it was useless. They looked at each other, sighed, and


    walked out.


    “Director Qin, forget it. Just treat it as a lesson. Mr. Barnwell didn’t kick us out of the group. He is


    already too generous.”


    How could Director Qin not understand this? However, he had fallen into Terry’s hands once again.


    This debt, of course, had to be settled!


    They entered the lift. The other lift door opened. Lyra was holding a lunch box in her hand, followed by


    Sister Zhang “Excuse me, where is Mr. Barnwell’s office?” Lyra walked directly to the front desk and


    asked.


    When the staff at the front desk saw her, they were all stunned. “Ms. Jones…”


    “Over there, over there.” Sister Zhang immediately pulled Lyra away.


    She pulled Lyra over and saw Keith standing at the door. She heaved a sigh of relief. “Quick, she’s


    looking for Sir.”


    “I brought him some food. Can I trouble you to send it in for me?” Lyra smiled. Keith’s expression


    turned cold and he immediately pushed open the door to the office.


    If Lyra stayed outside for a second longer, there would be more risk. If something went wrong, he


    would not be able to keep his job. “What’s going on?” Hank raised his eyes in displeasure when he


    heard the voice. The next second, his gaze fell on Lyra’s face. His brows furrowed, and he quickly


    walked over. He pulled Lyra in, then closed the door and pulled up the blinds. His nervous and


    somewhat angry expression gave Lyra a fright. “Did Ie at the wrong time? I just wanted to send


    you something to eat” she said, pursing her lips. Hank gripped her shoulders nervously, his eyes


    almost seeing through her. “Hank? It hurts.” Lyra pursed her lips and whispered. Only then did the man


    realize it and abruptly let go.


    “Sorry.” “Hank, can’t Ie?” Lyra asked in a clear voice. Hearing this, all of Hank’s emotions were on


    guard. He turned around and stared at Lyra’s face. Although he did not speak, the meaning in his eyes


    was already very clear. Lyra’s beautiful and fair face had a light smile. She seemed to be just asking


    casually. She turned to the table and took out a portion of the food. Her mouth was still muttering, “This


    is the soup I made, and there are fruits. No matter how busy you are at work, you must remember to


    eat on time.” After she finished speaking, she smiled gently at the man. “Try it.” For some reason, Hank


    just felt very ufortable.


    He looked at Lyra for a long time, but he couldn’t find anything. “Are you angry with me? If you don’t


    want me toe to thepany to find you, I


    won’te in the future.” Lyra looked aggrieved. “No. I’m very happy that you’re here.” Hank walked


    over and smelled the fragrant aroma of the soup. He pulled out a chair and sat down. “Then you eat


    first. I’ll go to the bathroom.” Lyra’s smile gradually deepened.


    Bada.


    The spoon in Hank’s hand identally touched the ss wall. “Huh?” Lyra looked over in surprise. “It’s


    fine. You can go.” Hank turned his back to her and suppressed all the emotions in his eyes. Lyra


    blinked and did not make a sound.


    She opened the door and closed it again. She nced at the employees at the door, but none of them


    dared to look at her. Keith and Sister Zhang were nowhere to be


    seen.


    It seemed that Hank had made all the arrangements and wanted to lie to her until the end.


    Well, then let’s see who couldugh to the end. Hank had drunk two bowls of soup, and Lyra still did


    note back. He got up in a hurry and called Keith in. “Find her. Don’t let her be lost in thepany.”


    What if someone leaked something, or Lyra saw something… “It’s all my fault. Madam insisted on


    but with Lyra’s stubborn personality, who could have stopped her? “Now is not the time to talk about


    this. Find her immediately.” Hank pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Who are you looking for?”


    Lyra picked up the conversation and walked in with a smile, a cup of warm coffee in her hand.


    Seeing this, the expression on Hank’s face became even moreplicated. “Where… did you go?”


    “Oh, I just came out of the bathroom. I was a little lost. I don’t know what happened, but I went around


    to arge office with many employees and drank a cup of coffee there.” Lyra smiled, her eyes bright


    and beautiful. She looked like she did not know why Hank was so anxious and angry, which made him


    instantly calm down.


    “You guys can leave.” Hank said. He turned around and loosened his tie. The door closed again. The


    cup of coffee in Lyra’s hand was still warm. She looked down at the two bowls of chicken soup and


    smiled gently. “It’s so good. It seems that the taste is not bad. I’ll make more next time.” She would do


    more, and she woulde to the Barnwell group every few days to join in the fun.


    She wanted to wait until the day of Alma’s production, and this y would be even more beautiful.


    Hank turned around and saw Lyra smiling gently. The stars in her eyes were something he had not


    seen in a long time.


    That appearance was imprinted in his heart, making his heart ache at the same time. “Lyra, let’s talk.”


    “Oh right, didn’t you say that you were going on a business trip? Did you change the time?”


    Lyra bent down and took a sip from the soupdle that Hank had just drunk. “It is not salty enough.”


    She muttered to herself. Hank’s pupils trembled.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    “I…”


    The moment his lie was exposed, he could not think of a reason to defend himself.


    “It was Uncle Priestley who called me. I just found out that you haven’t gone on a business trip. It’s


    okay, Hank. I know that you are busy at work. Sometimes, it’s normal that you don’t want to go home.


    It’s okay. I will always wait for you.” When hepletely put down his guard, she would give him a final


    blow.
