Free Web NovelChapter 119: A Quiet Call
Editor: Henyee Translations
Owen breathed a sigh of relief when the message was sent. He didn’t know when Anita would see this message, but it didn’t matter when. As long as Anita could see this message, she wouldn’t be angry at him for not answering her phone.
"President, you’re already up. This is the meal that was ordered for you." Bruce had also been busy until the middle of the night yesterday before going home. As soon as he woke up today, he hurried over to order food for Owen.
"Um, thanks," Owen said with a smile as he glanced at the meal Bruce had brought.
Bruce looked at Owen, who smiled as he thanked him. He wasn’t used to it and had an awkward look on his face.
"By the way, CEO, regarding Eric’s matter that you asked me to investigate, the private detective sent me a message. They’ll send me the sorted information this afternoon." Bruce eased up the expression on his face and said to Owen. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Really? The results are finally out. Bruce, you’re a little slow this time," Owen said as he heard that Bruce’s investigation finally had results.
"President... President, is this still slow? This is already a private detective with a very good reputation in the industry. Do you think an investigation is as simple as grocery shopping? We can’t let the person involved find out and have to investigate his relationships. This is quite time-consuming and exhausting," Bruce said helplessly.
"I understand. You worked hard this time. I’ll pay you double by the end of the month," Owen said with a smile while looking at Bruce’s bitter expression.
"Only double? CEO, don’t look for me the next time something like this happens. I don’t want a double salary." Bruce had been with Owen for a long time and occasionally complained.
For example, he was an assistant, but he was actually ordered by Owen to do these things every day. He couldn’t help but grumble.
"Okay, I know you worked hard. I’ll give you two more days off. Okay?" Owen could hear the complaint in Bruce’s tone, so he said again.
Hearing that Owen had given him another two days off, Bruce’s expression finally brightened. He smiled and said, "Really? You’re the best, CEO."
The speed at which he changed hus attitude made Owen sigh helplessly.
"By the way, CEO, you’ve been working overtime these few days. Miss Anita isn’t angry, is she?" Bruce was in a good mood now and started to snoop about his CEO’s love life again.
"She’s away on a business trip to England," Owen said quietly while listening to Bruce mention Anita again. He wasn’t in a good mood.
"She went overseas? Why would she go overseas? Miss Anita actually abandoned you and went to England?" Bruce said dubiously without looking at Owen.
"Bruce, you’re so talkative. Did you not work enough overtime yesterday? Why don’t you not rest for the next two days?" Owen didn’t sound happy anymore. He looked at Bruce impatiently.
Bruce didn’t say anything else after hearing Owen’s words and cleverly shut up. However, he started to mumble inwardly, "I wonder what the CEO is thinking for him to act like this every day."
He finally met a girl as good as Miss Anita, but he didn’t cherish her.
Unfortunately, he only dared to think so inside. He wasn’t so stupid as to say it out loud. If he said this, perhaps his double salary and two days of rest would be gone.
Bruce walked out of the office and patted his chest. Then, he started to plan what he should do during the next two days.
He had watched Owen and Miss Anita flaunt their love every day and he couldn’t take it anymore. At the thought of this, he knew what he had to do the next two days. He would be out on a date in the next two days to try to lose his bachelor status. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
After Anita woke up, she got up from the bed and pulled open the curtains, only to find that it was completely dark outside and that the street was already lit.
Many beautiful women who were dressed fashionably had already gotten off work and were walking together in twos and threes.
At the sight of this, Anita suddenly pulled the curtains open and went back to sit on the bed. She took her phone first and realized that Owen had sent her a message.
She quickly opened it. When she saw the message, her expression changed.
She knew Owen definitely didn’t mean to not pick up her call. He must be busy.
At the thought of this, she didn’t hesitate to call Owen. This time, she didn’t wait long. The phone rang only twice before it was picked up.
"Hey, Anita." As if he had been waiting beside the phone, Owen’s voice sounded on the other end.
Anita remembered that there was a time difference between them after the call connected. At this time, Owen probably would have gotten home from work and needed to rest, so she asked shyly, "Owen, were... were you asleep?"
