Chapter 583 - [Bonus ]Evil Woman
Lunch time was almost here, but Jack and his men, who were receiving clients from Melbourne, Australia, were still in the meeting room. The discussion about a new project that would be done soon made them all not aware that it was already noon. Giselle was the only one who was so sick of being in the room. She really wanted to go to the bathroom to let out all her annoyance after seeing Jack's wife and son were back in the office this morning.
Giselle, who was making up her face this morning, even made a big mistake by smearing her cheeks with the lipstick she was applying, because she was very surprised to hear Christian's loud scream as soon as he got out of the elevator. Indeed, seeing the presence of Christian and Anne instantly ruined Giselle's mood. Her whole plan was shattered because of the presence of the woman she hated so much.
"Really, it is a huge honor for me to be able to meet and talk to you in person, Mr. Clarke. I can't wait for our project to start," said Benjamin Calum, a young entrepreneur from Melbourne, who was quite famous, while shaking hands with Jack. .
Jack held his new client's hand with a smile. "I look forward to it as well. On our next meeting, I will call one of the best property companies I know to help us. I hope that when that time comes, you can attend the meeting."
"Of course, I will definitely come. You don't have to worry sir. Well then, I'll see you soon. Thank you very much and see you at the next meeting, sir."
Jack smiled in response to Benjamin's words. He then escorted Benjamin out of the meeting room. At the same time, Christian was running to and fro in the 40th floor hallway with Anne, as she had feared before.
Christian was bored!
After done playing the monopoly, puzzles and some other brain games, Christian refused to be fed by Anne. He insisted to have lunch with his father. Christian even loudly refused the milk that had been prepared for him. What he wanted was to have lunch his father, who never left the meeting room even though he had been in the meeting room since 9 am.
"Chris, be careful."
"I am okay, Mom, I can do ..."
Bam!
Christian lost his balance and fell while trying to run to Anne. He couldn't concentrate because he saw his father came out of the meeting room.
"Christ..." Anne screamed loudly as her son fell on the floor with his knees directly touching the floor.
Jack, who was about to shake Benjamin's hand, turned to the source of the sound of Christian's crying. A second later, he immediately ran quickly to where Christian was sitting. Even Anne lost to Jack, who finally managed to carry Christian off the floor.
"It's okay... it's okay... Daddy's here..."
Christian continued his sobs in his father's arms and peeked out curiously at Benjamin Calum and his people.
"That's Mr. Jack's son," said Erick quickly explaining Christian to the man from Australia.
Benjamin Calum immediately turned to Erick for a moment. "Oh, that's Mr. Clarke's child, then the woman..."
"That's Mrs. Clarke," Nicholas said, quickly cutting Benjamin Calum's words when he realized the blonde haired man's gaze was on Anne, who was standing in front of Jack.
Benjamin Calum immediately closed his lips quickly. His eyes were still on Anne, who was trying to wipe Christian's tears. Even as Jack brought Christian closer to him, Benjamin was still staring at Anne. The man was hypnotized by her grace.
"Sorry sir, looks like I have to carry out my other duties and can't see you downstairs," Jack said quietly to Benjamin who was now looking back at him. "Ah yes, this is my wife and son." Jack immediately introduced Anne to his business partner.
Benjamin Calum smiled. "It's okay, Mr. Clarke, I understand. Your son seems very attached to you."
Jack chuckled. "Sure, a son will definitely be closer to his father even though his mother is nearby."
Benjamin Calum laughed at Jack's words, while Anne just smiled faintly, forcing herself not to look angry at Jack's words. In Benjamin Calum's quick movement of glancing at Anne, he was more and more fascinated by Anne's beauty at such a close distance, especially when he saw Anne's adorable expression when she heard Jack's last words.
After small talk, not long after that, Benjamin Calum actually said goodbye to Jack to return to the hotel, accompanied by Erick and Nicholas. The man who had decided not to marry, finally left Jack and headed for the elevator that had been specially prepared for him. While in the elevator, Benjamin Calum smiled. The man who was known to rarely smile seemed to have been smitten by Mrs. Clarke's charm. Wearing a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, which she previously covered with a knee-length black coat, made Anne very elegant, the casual clothes didn't look cheap, they looked even more 'expensive' when they were attached to Anne's body.
Christian's cries only stopped when his father had treated his leg wound. Although it was only a small scratch, Jack took his son's wound seriously. Giselle, who was carrying the first aid kit, was still standing in front of Jack, who was still holding her son.
"Okay, the wound will heal soon. A hero must be strong," said Jack softly while kissing Christian's cheek which was wet with tears.
Anne smiled. She then held out her hand to Christian. "Come to Mommy. You're hungry right?"
Jack's eyes immediately widened. "What do you mean, Anne?"
"Christian hasn't had lunch yet. He insisted to have lunch with you. Even I'm tired of persuading him to drink his milk first."
"Damn... so you guys haven't eaten yet?" Jack wondered, panicking.
"Just like you," answered Anne briefly with a smile.
Instantly, Jack turned to Giselle. "Why are you still standing there, Giselle? Quickly prepare lunch for us. You're not a new secretary here that needs to be ordered first."
"Jack..."
"No babe, this is her job. As a secretary, she has to take all this into account so that you and Christian don't starve," said Jack quickly.
Giselle's face reddened. Without speaking, Giselle immediately left Jack's room and rushed to the pantry to heat up the food that had been prepared for Christian and Anne since two hours ago. Some of the other staff could hear Jack's previous shout at Giselle, because the door to Jack's room wasn't shut tight, so now they were whispering behind Giselle about how the arrogant secretary worked.
While preparing food for Christian and Anne in the pantry, Giselle continued to curse Anne in her heart. She blamed Anne's presence in the office for making her do the lowly work she was doing right now. Her face turned red from holding back the anger that had reached the top of her head.
"Just wait and see, your position will definitely be mine soon. You poor woman," said Giselle in her heart as she put the salad for Anne on the tray.
Giselle insolently mixed her saliva with the salad she had just taken from the refrigerator. Her evil smile widened as she spat on one of Anne's meals.
"Enjoy my drool, you lady fox."
