Chapter 154
Anna Stuat wasn’t sure what the argument outside the door was about. But as soon as Selina was pulled out and the door was closed, Anna Stuat immediately let go of Philip Andrew’s hand and turned around, only to meet his gaze. She suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
“Um… I…” Her usually sharp tongue seemed to fail her at the moment. Philip Andrew’s face remained calm and composed, betraying no emotions.
Only he knew that when Anna Stuat leaned in just now, a faint fragrance had drifted over to him, giving him a surge of blood. “You can leave now if there’s nothing else.”
He said coldly. Anna Stuat felt even more embarrassed and guilty, but she still felt the need to explain herself. “It wasn’t my intention earlier, it was all because of Selina…”
“I understand.” Philip Andrew interrupted her and repeated himself, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.” Anna Stuat froze, feeling helpless, and then left. She couldn’t help but mutter to herself,
“When did Philip Andrew become so petty? He got angry just because I hugged him earlier?” Click.
The office door closed softly. Philip Andrew was left alone in front of his desk.
Translation: Philip Andrew had been tense in front of his desk, but his body suddenly relaxed. He let out a long exhale and slowly placed his hand over his heart.
He could feel the strong, rapid beating of his heart through his chest. Even the normally cold blood in his veins seemed to be boiling. “Anna Stuat.”
He murmured her name softly and closed his eyes for a moment. Normally a workaholic who tirelessly dealt with various documents and contracts, he suddenly found the work on his desk to be a nuisance and couldn’t focus on it.
When he had come out, Selina and Xiao Xu were still arguing. Selina was a cruel and ruthless woman, but her verbal skills were lacking. She was easily silenced by the secretary’s words, and her fingers trembled with anger as she pointed at Anna Stuat when she saw her.
“I thought there was something special about you, but you got kicked out too.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Anna Stuat remained calm. “Watch your words. You were kicked out, I left on my own.” Anna Stuat didn’t want to get involved with Selina any further, so she praised Xiao Xu, the secretary, and left.
She went straight to Sadin Andrew’s office. After all, he was the only one who could help her.
Sadin Andrew wasn’t in his office, but was sitting quietly at a small tea table outside, reading a book. He was naturally quiet and loved to be free.
So despite having studied under many masters, learned many things, and traveled to many places, he had never settled down. It wasn’t until he was forced by Anglo Andrew to come to the Andrew Group that he finally found a place to stay. But his nature was still the same.
It was unrealistic to expect him to suddenly fall in love with business and become a businessman like Philip Andrew, burying himself in endless contracts and work. He still preferred to drink tea and read books. Suddenly, a shadow fell on his head. Sadin Andrew frowned slightly. “Didn’t I tell you to leave anything until this afternoon? Don’t bother me for now…”
When he looked up and saw Anna Stuat, his words were cut off. His expression suddenly became very surprised. “Anna Stuat, why are you here?”
“Is there something you need?”
Sadin Andrew put down his book and looked at Anna Stuat seriously. Anna Stuat was not one to beat around the bush, and she said directly, “Selina went to Philip Andrew’s office just now. I asked someone from the CEO’s office and found out that he’s been going there a lot these days. It’s not appropriate for her, an employee in your office, to keep going to Philip Andrew’s office. It might lead to rumors in the company.”
Sadin Andrew was taken aback for a moment, and his brow furrowed again after having just relaxed it.
After a while, he nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll take care of it.” Selina was someone his parents had asked him to bring in temporarily. In the end, he was just the general manager in name, and the one who could really make decisions was still Anglo Andrew.
So even though he felt disgusted and didn’t like Selina, Sadin Andrew had no way to refuse her presence here.
But with the belief of “out of sight, out of mind,” he didn’t pay much attention to Selina, and he had hired a senior assistant to handle the important matters around him.
He never expected that even if he didn’t pay attention, Selina would still cause trouble.
“I didn’t expect that even if I didn’t pay attention, Selina could cause trouble. ‘That’s a lot of trouble for you.’ Anna Stuat said as she turned to leave. Sadin Andrew felt a little disappointed as he watched her turn around. ‘Anna Stuat!’
Anna Stuat turned back, puzzled. ‘Is there anything else?’ Sadin Andrew looked a little uneasy for a moment. He took a deep breath.
‘Professor Qian’s project is completed, and there will be a celebration at Hongsheng Building in a few days. Will you come with me?’
Anna Stuat hesitated. ‘Is it appropriate for me to go?’ Although she had participated in the project for a while, she eventually had to stop due to a sudden attack, and that period was also the busiest time in the laboratory. So Anna Stuat felt guilty, thinking that she had delayed the laboratory’s progress. She naturally felt that she was not suitable to go, and besides, Professor Qian didn’t actually invite her.”
“Why?” Sadin Andrew stood up. “The early stages of the project were the most difficult. You were there with the whole studio during the toughest time. Why wouldn’t you be interested?” Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly added, “Professor Qian asked me to invite you. He couldn’t reach you.” At this point, Anna Stuat didn’t really have a reason to refuse. She thought for a moment and asked, “When will it be?” “This Saturday,” he replied. Anna Stuat reviewed Philip Andrew’s schedule and realized that she didn’t have anything planned for that Saturday. So she nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go. But where is Hongsheng Building?” “I’ll pick you up on Saturday and take you there.”
