Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 918: Marry Me

"My secretary?" Stanford soon thought that Atwood wasn't in the company today. He wondered if Atwood had done so.

"Did Atwood go to see you?"

Amanda sneered, "Don't you tell me you have no idea about it?"

Stanford said frankly, "I truly don't know about it. What did he say to you? He made you so angry. If it was truly his fault, I apologize on his behalf."

Amanda suddenly realized that she had been too reckless. She lost her mind because she was too angry earlier.

Although Stanford was cold-hearted and ruthless, he wasn't someone who dared not to admit what he had done.

"He asked me to go to your company and report the progress of the business plan. We've agreed to have it ready in one month. Hence, his request upset me."

"I see. I apologize to you on his behalf. We've agreed to have it done in a month. We shouldn't have urged you," said Stanford extremely sincerely.

In such a circumstance, Amanda couldn't complain more, "Okay. Since it's a misunderstanding, I'll forget it. Mr. James, please restrain your employees. Last time, it was Lindsay Leroy. This time, it's Atwood Barret. Mr. James, why are your employees so unprofessional?"

"It won't have again." Stanford truly didn't know why Atwood had done it.

Atwood did it behind his back.

"Mr. James, please manage your employees well. I'm here for business. I don't want to get involved in any trouble."

After finishing her words, Amanda stood up, "I've gotta go now."

Stanford also stood up, "Let me wall you out."

Amanda said, "No, thanks."

"Ms. Flores, I feel you are always avoiding me purposely." Stanford added, "We're business partners. Ms. Flores, you don't need to distance yourself from me." Amanda was speechless.

She thought for a moment and found an excuse, "I have a boyfriend, and he's petty. He doesn't like it when I'm too close to another man."

Then she strode away.

Stanford didn't insist. He gazed at her receding figure in silence. Then he pulled out his phone and called Atwood.

The call was connected soon.

"Where are you?" Stanford asked.

"Outside," said Atwood.

"In half an hour, I want to see you in my office." Then Stanford hung up the phone and put it back into his pocket. He gazed at the cup of latte that wasn't touched at all, looking down. No one could see through his current mind.

Later, he returned cold and aloof, striding out of the cafe.

When his driver saw Stanford come out, he hurriedly opened the rear door for Stanford. Right then, Stanford heard a woman's voice. He looked up, only to replace that Amanda was dragged Casimir to the other side of the road.

Stanford paused a bit and didn't sit in the car immediately.

Earlier, when Amanda walked out of the cafe, she didn't leave right away. She went to Casimir's company asking if he had returned, and the receptionist said yes.

Hence, she went to Casimir's office. However, Casimir was still angry, unwilling to talk to her.

Seeing Amanda come in, he immediately stood up and wanted to go downstairs. Amanda had to pull him, "I can understand why you are so pissed off. But you must give me a chance to explain."

"I don't want to hear it. You should know when seeing those photos. You have so many chances to tell me. Last night, I was so down and went to drink with you. I was so upset and hesitant, but you still didn't tell me. Are you really my friend?"

Casimir's voice was loud as he was angry.

Stanford overheard it. 'Drink? Friend?' the words reechoed in his mind. He rolled his eyes slightly and seemed to have overheard a lot of information.

He couldn't help wondering what Simona's secret was.

When Amanda was about to speak, she noticed Stanford opposite. She swallowed her words and hugged Casimir.

Casimir was startled by her sudden action. Her warm and soft body clung to him tightly, making him stiffed, "What... What are you doing?"

"Shush... Don't speak," she whispered.

Casimir looked at her in silence.

He was enraged earlier and complaining about her, but now everything vanished.

He looked down at her, "Do you want to marry me to calm me down?"

Amanda was speechless.

She truly want to pry open his skull and take a look at what was inside.

How could he have that kind of idea?

Watching Stanford's car leave, Amanda let go of him and took a step back to distance herself from him.

Feeling the emptiness in his arms, Casimir felt a bit disappointed.

After Amanda's behaviour, he calmed down a lot, "Tell me. What are your difficulties?"

Amanda looked at him and asked, "Is this a good place to talk?"

They were in the lobby where people came and go frequently.

Casimir realized it and turned around to walk to the elevator, "Let's go to our office," he suggested.

Amanda was quite surprised - he was way too stubborn earlier and unwilling to listen to her. She wondered why he suddenly calmed down and agreed.

Anyway, she wanted to explain it to him first.

She followed him.

Soon, they arrived at his office.

Sitting on the sofa, Casimir said proudly, "Go ahead. Tell me why you have deliberately hidden it from me."

"I didn't do that o purpose. I just feel that man looks like him. After all, many people in this world look like each other. Without any confirmation, I can't just tell you so affirmative, can I?"

"You always have excuses." Casimir knew that she had a sharp tongue.

Amanda was speechless.

"In fact, I'm still uncertain if you are his son. He's an elder to me. I haven't told you because he has a family. I don't know if your appearance will bother his family. I've asked him tentatively. When he was young..."

"What happened?" Casimir asked nervously.

Now he understood a bit why Amanda had hesitated.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
