Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: Acquisition Plan
The sun fell on her, yet the heat couldn’t rival the burning in her chest.
Arnold Simmons’s steps were steady, but the strength in his hands gradually tightened. His clear voice revealed his pleased mood, "Is that so? Then I’ll have to keep track of it."
Hannah couldn’t help but laugh, nuzzling her face against his neck.
The fuzzy hair tickled her heart, sending tremors through it.
"Then you better keep track properly; otherwise, I might just deny the debt."
Hannah only found out about the River Clan’s crisis that evening.
She didn’t have the habit of playing with her phone during work hours.
Even if she went online, it was hard to find any news about the River Clan’s crisis.
The specific details had been brought over by Jin Lian.
This time, George River had faced the biggest setback in his life.
In the original plot, the cold and domineering boss knew how to romance but business...
The South City project was indeed not a trap, but it was not something George River could handle with his current abilities.
He had brought trouble upon himself, dragging Jimmy Simmons down with him.
Now, both were swamped with solving the company’s issues.
After hearing the latest news from Jin Lian, Hannah looked again at Arnold Simmons, who was handling office work beside her.
He wore glasses, and his computer screen displayed an email.
It seemed that a company overseas needed his personal attention to resolve an issue.
He was always busy and occasionally, even when she was with him, he might have to set aside some time to handle business matters.
Her Mr. Simmons, the domineering boss, worked non-stop throughout the year, with overtime on demand.
Compared to him, it was no wonder Arnold Simmons in the drama could single-handedly face the protagonist team.
Compared to the several male leads who were enchanted by the female lead’s charisma, Arnold Simmons, focused on his career, was indeed a breath of fresh air in this Mary Sue story.
After sending the edited email, Arnold Simmons turned to look at Hannah sitting beside him.
She cradled her face in her hands, intently looking at the files on the computer.
Then she asked, "What is this?"
Arnold Simmons shut the computer, pulled her into his arms to hold her tightly, and explained, "It’s a recent acquisition plan of the company."
Hannah wrapped her arms around his waist and moved closer. She was not curious about the acquisition plan, but rather about something else.
"Arnold, will you return to the Simmons Clan?"
Arnold grasped her hand, his chin lightly resting on her shoulder, his gaze falling through his glasses on her curled eyelashes and then on her moist, rosy lips.
His attention was clearly not on Hannah’s question, but he still responded, "No."
With a simple, two-word answer, before Hannah could ask why, her lips were enveloped in a warm touch.
Arnold lifted his hand to remove his glasses, tossed them aside casually, and with his other hand he parted her fingers, their fingers interlocking.
The conversation abruptly ended.
The heavy curtains blocked out the moonlight from outside the window.
A cold breeze brushed across the tree tops, causing the leaves to rustle.
...
Jin Lian sat alone on the balcony railing, staring at the pitch-black night sky and letting out a lonely sigh.
It missed Big Lang and Big Circle, that silly dog.
If Big Circle was here, at least there would be a dog to play with, and it wouldn’t have to worry about the bed being too cold at night.
That dog, Big Circle... Its fur made Jin Lian envious.
Jin Lian angrily bit off a piece of leaf, then burrowed back into the small bed specially prepared by Hannah.
The toasty feeling made it dream.
In the dream, there were Big Circle and Big Lang.
Hehe, they were all circling around it, praising it as the cutest and most charming little puppy in the world.
