Please Love Me, Mr. George

Chapter 24 Shoulder All the Loss

After pausing a bit, I got around the car, opened the passenger seat door and pulled Dennis’s sleeve,

“Dennis!”

Maybe it was because that he couldn’t sleep for his stomach was acting up, he immediately woke up

when I called him.

He opened his eyes slowly and scanned around, “Did you bring me home?”

I nodded and didn’t know whether he was sober or not, “Get out of the car. It’s getting late.”

It was nearly midnight and I really couldn’t stay up all night with him as I was pregnant.

He sat up straight and didn’t look like that he was coming out of the car.

Staring at me with his big dark eyes, he looked quite innocent, but I knew how capricious he could be.

After musing for a while, I asked, “Do you need me to hold you down?”

“I want to bask in the sun.” He said and then sat still.

I was totally shocked by his words! Bask in the sun at this time?

How wasted was he!

“Okay then, do whatever you want.” I really had no energy to stay with him here as I was exhausted, so

I just went in the mansion.

After entering the bedroom, I lay down for a while and didn’t hear a thing in the lobby. Afraid of that he

might run about in the middle of the night and hurt himself, I struggled inside and went downstairs to

check on him.

I was surprised to see him sleeping on the sofa of the lobby.

Okay then, I can go to sleep rest assured.

I was totally out the whole night and it was already afternoon when I came to myself.

I hurriedly dressed up and left the mansion for I had an appointment with Mr. Pearson.

He was already a waiting in the office when I arrived.

He stood up smilingly and apologized, “I’m sorry for causing troubles for you, Miss Kennedy. I’m really

sorry.”

I calmed my breathing and asked Jackie to bring him a glass of water and then signed all the

completion and transfer contract.

After getting all the things done, Mr. Pearson proposed, “It’s about lunch time, Miss Kennedy. How

about we grab the lunch together? My wife meant to express her gratitude to you all this time, so I’m

wondering are you available?”

Well, actually, I was quite free now, but Jackie seemed like that she wanted to tell me something, so I

grinned, “You are too kind, Mr. Pearson. I should be the one who buys you dinner. I’m really swamped

today. Let’s get together on another day!”

Mr. Pearson then just left after bidding goodbye.

Jackie then said to me, “Director Clara, President George asked to see you in his office once you are

here.”

I paused and frowned, “Do we have any mistakes recently in work?” Dennis normally wouldn’t ask to

see me for personal matters, unless it was about woke.

Jackie nodded, “Yeah, the finance department told President George about Mr. Pearson’s delay on

payment and he seemed displeased, so he asked to see you.”

“Okay.” I answered and went to the top floor.

Dennis’ working area was as cold as him in person. I can feel the chilly air masking in this place in

summer.

Looking around, I found that the meeting room door was shut. Toby noticed me and said, “Director

Clara, President George is having a meeting with Mr. Thomson and doctor Bennett.”

I nodded and figured what he was referring to.

Then I grabbed a seat in the lobby and checked the time. It was already noon, and as I didn’t have

anything this morning, I was quite hungry at this point.

Toby served me a glass of water and said coldly, “Director Clara, president George would be out in

about half an hour.”

I took the water and ignored his indifference, “Toby, has Dennis been drinking a lot recently?”

Diana mentioned that Dennis went to the bar many times, so I meant to probe what was he drinking for.

Hearing my question, Toby froze and answered, “The president is probably in a bad mood.”

“Why?” Dennis shouldn’t be so upset about the baby, so he must be distressed about Olivia.

Noticing that I was quite curious, Toby coughed a bit and said, “I really don’t know what president is

thinking about.”

I...

Toby was really hard to crack.

I got dizzy after waiting for a while.

When they got out of the meeting room, they all turned their eyes to me.

Mario scanned me with his lips pursed and then said something to Toby who glanced at me and just

left.

Dennis examined me and I felt like that he was bottling up the anger against me.

Thinking about Mr. Pearson, I hurriedly stood up and asked, “President George, I will shoulder all the

loss that the company suffered for the past two days.”

Eyebrows knitted, he didn’t say anything, but Marcus Thomson who was having the fun replied, “How

competent are you, Miss Kennedy! You know that this project is worth of millions of yuan and you just

cost your husband a great fortune for two days! How generous are you!”

He was clearly sarcastic.

Seeing that Dennis was keeping a straight face and didn’t say anything, I rolled my eyes at Marcus,

“It’s really none of your business.”

Mario chuckled with his hands in the pocket and acted he was just a bystander.

Face darkened, Marcus glanced at Mario and said to me, “Who do you think you are, Clara? You are in

no position to speak to me like this.”

I really didn’t want to waste to breath with Marcus. He didn’t like me anyway and always thought that I

stood in the way between Dennis and Olivia, so he was pretty mean to me all this time.

We were quite familiar with each other, so I just teased, “Are you the emperor that time traveled from

three thousand years ago? I’m afraid only those terracotta warriors can have conversations with you,

after all, you are in the same era and have common topics.”

Hearing my irony, Marcus was livid with anger and just retorted, “Dead people are far more entitled to Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

talk to me than you! You heartless monster! How can you bring yourself to kill your own baby...”

“Marcus!” Mario spoke out and interrupted Marcus’s words, “Dennis has to talk with Director Clara

about something. I’ve booked a table in a restaurant. Let’s go over there and wait for them!”

Mario then paused and turned to me, “Director Clara must haven’t had lunch yet. Why don’t you join us

with Dennis later!”

I wanted to reject, but he just dragged Marcus out.

Me and Dennis were then left alone in this empty office. I’m not quite sure how he was going to deal

with Mr. Pearson’s matter, so I said to him, “I got to be blamed for Mr. Pearson’s delay on payment. I

have been recovering at home since the miscarriage and just forgot about this.”

Seeing that he was still silent, I continued, “I knew that this mistake had resulted in large loss for the

company, so I will resign from the post.”
