Chapter 262 Where Are You Now?
Angela asked these Weibo celebrities to maximize the influence of Jessica’s frame of her on public opinion, and it was best to have more connections with the Smith Group. She would give them satisfactory rewards, but–
“Others think that as long as people give money to celebrities like us on Weibo, we will help them. Actually not, we also have principles. In fact, someone contacted me last night, whose request was similar to yours. So I can’t accept your commission! ”
“You’re really lucky, for there happened to be a gentleman who did what you asked for. You can save your money!”
Angela contacted several Weibo celebrities, and their answers were basically that they had already accepted the commission. She didn’t have to waste money and effort.
She asked them who that man was. They all said they had to protect the privacy of their customers, so they didn’t tell her.
Angela almost guessed who that person was. She licked her dry lips and called James.
“What’s up?” He immediately connected the phone, with a somewhat suppressed joy in his voice.
This was the first time she took the initiative to call him in this period of time.
Angela changed her hand to hold the phone and kicked the pebble beside her foot, “The person who contacted those Weibo celebrities yesterday… It’s you? ”
“No.” James said.
Hearing this, Angela breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn’t have to owe him favors, but she felt a sense of indescribable disappointment.
“I was busy with odds in company so I asked Lee to arrange it.” James said, “Where are you now?”
After a long while, Angela said the name of the community.
“Stay there and don’t move. I’ll pick you up.” After James finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving her a chance to refuse.
Looking at the phone interface that had returned to the home screen, Angela frowned. Then she put away the phone and beckoned to the passing taxi.
When the taxi stopped in front of her, a young mother happened to run over with a little girl.
Seeing that the taxi had been booked by Angela, the little girl grieved with a crying voice, “Mommy, the car was booked by this aunt, and I can’t catch … I can’t make it to the show…”
“You can take the taxi. I’m not in a hurry.” Angela took a few steps back in the gratitude of the mother and daughter.
Soon another taxi passed by, and Angela raised her arm in the air, and then put it down again. She absently kicked the pebble under her feet, remembering the good old days.
She was going to participate in a competition when she was nine years old, and the family driver happened to be away.
Her mother took the driver’s license but never dared to drive on the road. But in order for her to participate in the race on time, her mother overcame her fear and drove. When they got to the performance destination, her mother’s legs were so weak that she couldn’t walk.
Angela took a deep breath, and recalled her mother’s teary face. Mixed feelings came to her.
If Jessica didn’t plot the car accident, she might be as annoying and even supercilious as usual and could live a happy life with her families.
The car horn suddenly sounded.
Angela’s thoughts were interrupted. She looked up and was a little surprised when she saw the Bentley parked beside her, “Well, you are so fast.”
“I’m afraid you will leave.” James leaned forward and opened the door of the co-pilot, “Get in.”
Angela opened her mouth, but said nothing in the end. She walked around to the co-pilot and got into the car, closed the door and fastened her seat belt.
“Your current situation is not suitable for learning to drive. You can take the first session now, and wait until your legs are better.” James started the car.
Angela hummed, and hesitated, “You let the media spread Jessica’s scandal. Are you afraid that your grandfather will blame you?”
Jessica’s scandal would affect the Smith Group’s stock price, and the Smith family could easily find out that James did it. If they told Mr. Lawson about it, he wouldn’t spare James lightly.
“You don’t need to care about these things.” James frowned almost invisibly, and quickly returned normal.
Angela glanced at the gauze around his neck and thought of how he was lying in a pool of blood that night. Her heart seemed to be held by an invisible big hand, feeling uncomfortable and depressed.
She turned her head to look at him, “James, you don’t need to do this.”
After a pause, she said, “Whether you do it or not, I will stay by your side.”
But she was forced to do so.
“But I want you to stay by my side willingly, instead of thinking about how to leave me all the time.” James turned his head to glance at her.
His eyes were calm, but he seemed to be trying to suppress inside emotions.
His look made Angela uncomfortable. She avoided his gaze and turned to look out through the window.
Willingly?
She used to be willing, but unfortunately he didn’t care. And after having suffering so much, how could she willingly stay with him?
Seeing her resistance, James felt sad, and then looked forward. Both kept in silence all the way.
The car stopped in front of the Harvey Group, and the two got went of the car and walked inside.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Mr… Hello, Mr. Harvey!” Employees in the company came and went. Some called him President Harvey, others called him Mr. Harvey. Their attitude towards him was no longer pure respect, but also mixed with sympathy.
Angela got into the elevator and said, “Your employees like you very much.”
“Do they?” James followed into the elevator, pressed the floor number, and stared down at her, “But it doesn’t make much sense to me whether they like me or not. I only care if you like me or not.”
There was her figure reflected in his pupils, and his eyes were so hot that it seemed to poke Angela. She took a step back uncomfortably and distanced herself from him.
But James moved a step and still stood beside her.
She couldn’t retreat, surrounded by his breath. Angela couldn’t help tensing his body and couldn’t tell whether she was disgusted or not.
She had followed him since she could remember, and knew how strong his desire for victory and utilitarianism was. But now he lost the position of president because of her…
He was really good to her now. But it was also true that he broke her leg, threw her into jail, and threw her out naked.
The last thing was her lack of luck, because she wanted to shoot their sex videos to threaten him. What about the first two incidents? And he left her in the Dream Club to humiliate her.
Ding!
The elevator car arrived.
The two entered the President’s office together.
In normal times, there was almost no one in the president’s office, but today there were a group of people: the person who handled the business handover of the president, the chief financial officer, Vice President Lee, Lee, Ralphie, and three police officers.
Seeing them coming in, Vice President Mr. Lee stepped forward and said, “Mr. Harvey, why did Director Morgan say you let her tamper with the ledger and make false accounts? I remember Director Morgan only listened to Chairman Harvey’s words, except sending financial reports to you. ”
Mr. Lawson was the chairman of the Harvey Group.
