Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1734
It was afternoon. In the blue sky, several pieces of cloud surrounded the blazing sun.
The highrise office building of the Chin's Group's was not as busy as usual because of the holiday break. Almost every floor of the building was empty and quiet, even the dustmen were rarely seen.
In the President's Office on the top floor, somebody was reading documents.
The general secretary and special assistant were waiting nearby attentively.
The office was quiet, and the "flip-flop" sound of turning the documents could be heard.
After Wilson finished reading half of the documents, his mobile phone rang.
As he deeply hated being disturbed during work, he wanted to hang up the phone directly. However, when he saw that the caller ID was his mother's, he finally picked it up.
When the line was connected, Wilson could hear complaints from his mother, Meadow Yamada. "Wilson, why are you still working now? Now is the holiday break. Why don't you go back home to see your father and me?"
"It's because I'm too busy in business!" Wilson pinched the place between his eyebrows.
Meadow said, "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow. You have to go home for dinner, don't you?"
"Well... I won't forget about it," Wilson said.
"That's good!" Meadow was satisfied.
Wilson could overhear through the line that there seemed to be a servant reporting, "Madam, the driver is ready!"
Then, he heard Meadow saying, "Wilson, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I have to visit your uncle's house. Your uncle and auntie wanted me to introduce some other young men to Selene as her boyfriend candidates, but she refused every one of them!"
The entire Chin Family felt headache as far as Selene Chin, Wilson's youngest cousin, was concerned.
Wilson clearly knew Selene's standpoint. He frowned. "She still hasn't given up yet?"
Meadow sighed. "It's not so easy to persuade her to give up. When her engagement with Dylan was canceled, she acted as if it was the end of the world. Up to now, she still believes that her relationship with Dylan could be repaired, that someday she would still be able to marry into the Koo family! But this time is quite different. I heard that Dylan is going to get married to a girl who is perhaps his first lover. The marriage has been confirmed by Dylan's parents..."
Then, Meadow said something else, but Wilson didn't hear it clearly.
The phone was hung up, and his heart sank with anger and despair.
Behind the lens, his eyes were as gloomy as a silent pool of water.
As soon as the mobile phone was put down, the telephone in the office rang.
A short while later, Terry reported respectfully, "Mr. Chin, Miss Amery is coming!"
Wilson thought for half a second and said, "Let her come in!"
"Yes!" Terry nodded.
There was a knock on the door, and then Abby Amery pushed the door open and walked in with a smile.
In addition to the handbag on her wrist, she was also carrying a bag in her hand, which seemed to contain gifts for Wilson.
"Wilson, I guessed it straight away. You're probably the only one who would still be working on such a holiday! You haven't changed in this regard. I still remember you were the best at squeezing out your own time and energy while studying abroad!" Abby said.
When she talked about their life experience in the past, Abby generally would try to suggest something which could strengthen their emotional ties in an almost unnoticeable manner.
Wilson leaned back on the chair. "Why are you coming here?"
He crossed his long legs while saying. Such a posture made him look very casual.
The view of the top floor was especially wide. The blue sky and white clouds outside of the French window were clear and bright. Yet Wilson's handsome features were more likely to attract women's attention than the sky and clouds.
Abby's eye expression became softer. "The MidAutumn Festival is coming. Auntie and I made some mooncakes together at home. I have brought some of them for you! They are Five- kernel Mooncake, the same kind that we used to make in college. Try it and feel whether the taste has changed. This time, I have also added some honey in the mooncakes!"
"Uh-huh!" Wilson answered nonchalantly.
He didn't like to eat sweet things.
He was not interested in something like mooncakes, but he thought that it was inappropriate to refuse Abby's kindness directly.
As for Tina, she almost had a child's taste. She loved the sweet and sour things. Wilson had always remembered this feature of her. However, his eyes darkened when he thought of his phone call with his mother.
Abby noticed that Wilson's eyes were fixed on the mooncakes for a long time. She thought that he must like them. She was very happy.
She raised her wrist and slightly stroked her hair. "By the way... Is Isla coming out of the sterile room? Don't forget what you promised me before. I want to see her together with you!"
Isla would be transferred to the ordinary ward tomorrow.
Wilson's attention was naturally attracted, as Isla was his daughter.
He nodded. "Alright!"
Abby glanced at the documents on his desk and asked with a smile, "Are these the bidding files?"
"Mmm." Wilson nodded.
The bidding project had been put on the agenda, which was the focus of a great many companies.
Abby's voice was tender, "Wilson, you really don't want to think about my suggestion? The marriage between the Chin's Group and Amery's Group will be a win-win situation. It not only will bring benefits to the Amery's Group, but will also help you to win this bid smoothly!"
She tried to encourage him, and convince him of the relevant benefits.
Wilson remained silent.
At this, Abby smiled again. She would not put herself in an awkward situation. She quickly changed the topic. "Go on with your work. I won't bother you anymore! Don't forget to call me when you want to visit Isla next time!"
After that, she stood up and left in graceful steps.
When she was about to walk to the door, Wilson suddenly called out to her.
Abby stopped.
Wilson's posture remained unchanged, and there was no extra expression on his face. He said coldly, "Abby, I have changed my mind!"
Abby's red lips suddenly raised, and her proud smile suggested that she was determined to win.
The next day was another sunny day.
Behind the clouds, the sun was shining with golden beams of light, bright and dazzling.
Tina arrived at the hospital very early. After Isla went through a series of examinations by the doctors, she was transferred to an ordinary ward in the morning, as the examination results showed that her recovery was satisfying.
Isla behaved like a little bird that was fluttering her wings, happy and lovely.
Tina's mood brightened considerably when she saw her daughter's delicate face.
To reward her daughter for spending so much time in a sealed space, Tina went out to buy Isla's favorite cake.
Two hours later, Tina came back to the ward with a cake box.
When she pushed the door open, Tina saw that Isla was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, while her two small hands were holding her cheeks. She was perhaps thinking about something. She would frown or purse her lips from time to time. Isla looked very cute when she seemed to be worrying about something.
Hearing her mother's footsteps, Isla shouted in her little girl's cute voice, "Mom, you're back!"
Tina smiled. "Hum... There are more people during the holidays. I had to line up for some time. Are you eager to eat the cake?"
"No... Mom, thanks!" Isla shook her head and replied sweetly.
Tina opened the cake box and cut out a small piece of cake for Isla.
She then asked softly, "Isla, what happened to you just now?"
Isla told her mother, "Just now, the Domineering CEO came to see me!"
Tina paused for half a second, yet her smile remained unchanged. "When?"
Isla mumbled while eating the cake, "Not long after you went away to buy the cake. He knew that I would leave the sterile room today, and therefore he came here to see me. But he was not alone. He brought a pretty auntie with him!"
