Him
Roy Lewis didn’t think he was the kind of overbearing CEO Richelle Dunn was talking about, besides, he actually understood that the “overbearing CEO” she mentioned wasn’t a compliment.
“Is it possible that I’m not overbearing, but I just don’t know which flower you like, so to save trouble, I directly gave you a whole backyard?”
Roy Lewis didn’t like making excuses for himself, instead, he looked for reasons within himself.
He really didn’t know much about Richelle Dunn.
Even if he wanted to please her, he often didn’t know where to start.
The conversations between Richelle Dunn and Roy Lewis left the few kids utterly confused.
Tifanny thought she didn’t understand people as well as her brothers, so she nudged Timothy with her left elbow and Timmy with her right elbow, blinking her eyes desperately, asking them what their daddy and mommy meant. However, the cryptic conversation between Richelle Dunn and Roy Lewis left both Timmy and Timothy just as puzzled.
The two of them shrugged at the same time, indicating that they didn’t know either.
Richelle Dunn, on the other hand, understood Roy Lewis’ words and directly pulled a flower from the vase and handed it to him.
“I don’t know how you define a gift, but for me, as long as it’s a gift from someone I like, I like it. I care about the person, not the gift.”
Roy Lewis understood immediately.
He took the rose Richelle Dunn had just handed him and returned it to her.
“Do you like this rose?”
Richelle Dunn didn’t answer him but took the rose and put it back in the vase.
Then she stood up with the vase full of fresh flowers, sweetly smiled at Roy Lewis.
“I like it!”
She finished speaking, leaving only her silhouette, and walked into her bedroom with the vase.
Roy Lewis almost drowned in her dimples, his whole body seemed to be stuck, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a glimmer of light passed in his eyes. She said she cared about the person, not the gift.
She said she liked that rose, which was almost equivalent to her liking him right?
The kids, who had just been confused, eventually understood when they heard daddy asking “Do you like it?” and mommy answering “Yes, I like it.” The mystery was completely unraveled.
Timmy walked over and bumped his daddy’s fist with his little fist.
“Daddy, keep it up!”
Tifanny threw him a flying kiss, “Uncle, keep it up, I believe in you!”
Timothy was the coolest, clenching his fist and waving at him, “Uncle, don’t bully mommy!”
Apparently, the three little brats thought daddy and mommy were confessing their feelings to each other.
But in reality, it was just two adults with their own difficulties and barely suppressed feelings unintentionally flirting with each other.
And the potential storm or crisis that Roy Lewis thought would happen because of Mr. Lewis’s crude interference was thus covered by the ambiguous and pleasant daily interactions.
It seemed to have left no negative effects.
Richelle Dunn didn’t really dwell on Mr. Lewis’s words.
Now, apart from matters related to the children, her extra thoughts were focused on the Dunn Group.
The Dunn Group’s stock price had been falling recently, but the decline was not as steep as before.
Richelle Dunn decided it was about time and asked Hugo Camrey to help her buy shares in the Dunn Group with 90% of her funds over a few days.
On the other side, Sonia Seaton finally found a trustworthy psychologist and was waiting for Hugo Camrey to arrange for her to come over any time.
Richelle Dunn had been busy with real-world affairs for a few days and hadn’t been on the system for a while.
This day, she finished work at just past ten o’clock and thought about dealing with matters related to United Ventures, so she logged into the top-secret system. However, as soon as she logged in, she received a message from the mysterious wealthy party.
The time was actually two days ago.
“Which forces in the central region did the Thompsons collude with?”
This really seemed like they were sending Richelle Dunn to her death!
Richelle Dunn regretted coming in today.
But the mysterious wealthy person who she didn’t know and couldn’t locate seemed to sense when she logged in. At the moment she regretted it, they sent another message.
“Name your price, anything besides Dunn Group’s is acceptable.”
For a moment, Richelle Dunn thought the mysterious wealthy person had tracked her down, her heart panicked, and as she was about to log off and hide, she received another message.
“One week deadline, will not wait after it expires.”
Richelle Dunn stared at the screen, taking a deep breath.
She hesitated for a long time, wondering whether to pretend she hadn’t logged in and ignored the messages.
But eventually, she decided to edit and send a message.
“I’m sorry, I can’t find that information.”
But in reality, it’s not that she couldn’t find it, it’s just that she wanted to stay alive.
This mysterious wealthy person must be intelligent too, and probably understood the reasons behind her decision to not get involved.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have offered an extremely high price like “any price.”
“Are you sure you won’t try?”
The usually aloof mysterious wealthy person, for once, tried to persuade her repeatedly.
Richelle Dunn sent two decisive words back.
“No try!”
At this moment, Roy Lewis, who was sitting in his study, also stared at the words “No try!” on the screen and smiled bitterly.
This student Margareth clearly saw through what was happening in the central region, knowing that it’s untouchable!
Roy Lewis was at a loss, frowning at the plan that had been stuck for days, unsure how to proceed.
Mason Lilliput was starting to make moves recently. He needed to deal with the Thompsons’ side before Mason Lilliput made his move.
Otherwise, if Mason Lilliput gained the Thompsons’ power, it would be trouble.
Because of the Thompsons’ matter, Roy Lewis, who hadn’t had insomnia for a long time, spent a sleepless night that night.
As a result, he fell sick the next morning.
It wasn’t a serious illness; he just had a mild fever.
But his body was different from others’, and Uncle Axel became worried when he saw Roy Lewis’s poor complexion and measured his temperature at 37.8”C in the early morning.
Roy Lewis saw through his intentions at a glance, “Richelle will be here at 8
o’clock at the latest, there’s no need to call her specifically.”
Uncle Axel nodded his head in front of him, turned around and went back to the kitchen, only to call Richelle Dunn.
It was just past six o’clock, and Richelle Dunn had just finished washing up and was about to make breakfast.
Seeing Uncle Axel’s call, her first reaction was that something might have happened to Timmy.
So she answered the call anxiously.
Uncle Axel, what’s the matter calling so early?”
Uncle Axel was also very anxious, “Dr. Dunn, could you please hurry over here, Master Lewis has a fever.”
Richelle Dunn was startled and asked as she walked out of the kitchen, “How did he suddenly get a fever? He was fine last night!”
“He said he had insomnia last night and didn’t look very energetic when he got up this morning.”
Richelle Dunn didn’t care about anything else and went back to her room to find the clothes for going out, asking a few more questions about the details.
Then she hung up the phone, changed her clothes, and rushed out the door..
