Chapter 370 Our Cooperation Is Out of the Question

Something flickered in his eyes as he was staring at Suny, who was then sitting on the couch. He interrupted Ivan abruptly, "I see. Keep an eye on that." When he finished the sentence, the phone was hung up.

Suny watched him come striding towards her and felt the couch sink as he sat down.

"You've done talking with him?"

He put the phone on the table which was not far away and answered her in a quiet tone, "Yep."

Suny was a bit confused when he raised his hand and softly touched her brows and eyes, "Is there something on my face?"

"No."

As he bowed his head, there was just a little distance between them. She could almost sense his breath brushing her face.

It was warm, and a bit tickling.

She stared at him and could not help lifting her eyebrows, "Then... What are you doing?"

"What did you just say to me?"

"Why are you looking at me?"

"Because you are good-looking."

Suny giggled, "Austin? Where did you learn that stuff?"

He looked down at her smiling face, reached out his hand to the back of her waist, and pulled her into his chest, pressing his lips on her red ones. Suny gasped while clenching his clothes at his waist.

Their breaths were getting more and more rapid, loud in the silence of the room. Under her clothes, his hands were traveling up to her breasts.

The palm of his hands was like a touch of fire, heating her whole body.

It was not the first time that Austin had kissed her, but it made her feel like deep under a pool of warm water, hard to get out.

It was not until the knock on the door, which was hard to tell how long had passed, that his kiss came to a halt.

Suny was leaning on his shoulders, gasping. When she saw his throat bob, her heart skipped a beat and her face blushed. She straightened herself, fiddling with her hair to avoid eye contact, "Is that the lunch delivery?"

He looked down at her and his eyes grew darker as he had a glimpse of her red lips.

He compelled himself to loosen his grip while saying in a subdued tone, "I'll get the door."

"Okay."

Suny watched him going downstairs and emptied the half-full glass of water.

Soon Austin went up with the lunch. He asked Ivan to send some food to the house as soon as they were out of the airport.

Secretary Ivan was quite efficient to have the food delivered so soon.

The dishes were good as they were specifically selected according to Suny's and Austin's preferences.

Austin had a meeting in the afternoon and Suny also needed to go to Phantom.

After some rest, they headed to their companies.

Not long after Suny had seated herself, Rosa came in, "Miss Holland."

"Yeah?"

Suny looked up and smiled at her, "What's wrong? Rosa?"

"Anthony Johnson called again. He wants to meet you."

Seeing the complex expression on Rosa's face, Suny lifted her brows, "He did more than call you, right?"

Rosa continued, "His assistance is here. He knew we have a meeting today. I believe he would come in person after a while."

Suny smiled, "Never mind. Just let them wait."

"Yes, Miss Holland." nodded Rosa. Having understood Suny's intention, she went out of the office.

The meeting lasted from three to five.

Just as Suny left the meeting room, Rosa's assistant came frowning, "Miss Holland. Secretary Lee." "What's wrong?"

Suny had always been genial with employees. Seldom would she wear a cold look.

That was why Amina felt even more guilty, "Miss Holland, it's all my fault. Mr. Anthony came up with his assistant and is waiting in the guest room. I could not stop them." Suny clucked her tongue, "That shameless Anthony Johnson."

Rosa peeped at Suny and signaled Amina to leave first.

Amina looked at Rosa and then Suny, who said, "You may go now. We'll be there in a minute." She paused, "You did not mention my relationship with Phantom, did you?"

There were few employees in Phantom who knew her identity, except some leaders like Raul and Rosa. If Amina had not been Rosa's assistant, she would not have known the real boss of Phantom.

It was an unstated rule to keep secret Suny's identity. After three years of working with Rosa, Amina was quite aware of that rule.

"No, Miss Holland."

Suny nodded with a smile, "Okay. Don't be nervous. Go and prepare some tea."

After all, those who pay a visit shall be regarded as guests.

On the other side, Anthony was too, a bit nervous.

The boss of Phantom was always a secret. It had been seven years since Phantom was established, but still, only a few people were aware of her identity. And those who knew unanimously chose to keep that secret.

Anthony was out of choice. He had investigated her two years ago to try to establish cooperation with her. But after half a year of investigation, nothing was found.

However, it was said that sometimes she would appear in the internal meeting of Phantom. That she would appear at Phantom today was something that caused him great effort to get hold of.

He had no other choice but to come here uninvited, trying to seize her outside of her office.

He knew he might offend her if things went wrong, but he was more convinced that she would be interested in the tempting offer concerning KLOC.

As he was contemplating, the door opened. He felt a rush of glee in his heart and was about to stand up when he found out it was just some stuff sending tea, "Mr. Johnson, please have some tea." Anthony was not in the mood for tea, "Has your boss finished her meetings?"

Amina shook her head, "I'm not sure. If Mr. Johnson has other business to do, you may go first. I will inform secretary Lee."

Anthony gave Amina a glance, nodding, "I'm not busy. I just wanted to ask about it."

Of course, he was reluctant to go. He would not leave until he met her.

As Suny and Rosa left the elevator, they headed directly to the guest room.

With seven or eight meters away, Suny noticed Anthony Johnson.

She lifted her brows and entered with her high heels on, "Mr. Johnson. I heard you want to talk to our boss."

The expression on Anthony's face changed as he saw Suny, "Why are you here?"

Suny smiled, "I'm her assistant. Of course, I'm here."

This was something he was not aware of. He stiffened, "Miss Holland, I came to see your boss today..."

Probably out of discontent, he said directly to Rosa, "Secretary Lee, I sincerely want to meet her."

Suny walked to his opposite side and sat on the sofa with a faint smile on her face, "Mr. Johnson. My boss has some other business to deal with and has left. But she said, if you have any problem, you can jus tell me. Ninety percent of the business in this company could be decided by me."

"It's no use talking to you. I need to see your boss. Do you think I have no idea what you are up to? I have a huge project to discuss with her. Tens of billions. Can you make a decision on that?"

"Of course, she has already made it clear that those things are in my charge. Now Mr. Johnson is talking about the project worth tens of billions?"

Anthony's face turned black due to the anger, "You... you are not qualified."

Rosa was about to explain as she noticed a glance from Suny, signifying her to keep quiet.

Suny leaned back, sipped the tea, and opened her mouth casually, "What a pity. It seems our cooperation is out of the question."

"Suny, don't pretend you are the boss. You are just an assistant. Listen..."

"Secretary Lee, am I pretending to be the boss?"

Her smile faded as she turned to Rosa.

Rosa stared at Anthony, emotionlessly, "Mr. Johnson, it has vexed our boss enough that you have shown up in here out of blue. Now that you have insulted Miss Holland, and considering how much importance our boss attached to Miss Holland, cooperation is out of the question even if you are talking directly with our boss. I'm afraid it's time for you to leave..."
