Jeremy and Barbara returned to the office after lunch. He suddenly asked Barbara in a serious tone, "Have you picked the engagement gift I asked you to choose for Dexter?""No!""Well you don't need to pick the gift now. I have already asked someone to buy it. You can either deliver it on behalf of me!""I will deliver it for you?" Barbara was shocked."Yes, you will do it!" Jeremy said in an unquestionable manner. Barbara realized that she was making a fuss. She was Jeremy's assistant. How could she not follow her boss orders?Dexter had long been a stranger to her. It was not a big deal for her to send a gift to an ordinary customer.David handed over the gift he bought to Barbara. She went to Dexter's company right away.The receptionist stopped bet and said she had to have an appointment to meet with the president. Barbara told her that she was Mr blacks assistant and came here to send a gift on behalf of the Golden Age Group. The receptionist immediately called for instructions.
Back in Jeremy's company, he was sitting in his office and having a fit if temper with a stern face. Documents were scattered all over the floor.David lowered his head and stood without saying a word. Barbara quickly picked up and organized the documents and put them in front of Jeremy. Jeremy wiped the anger on his face upon seeing Barbara. "Call Keaton, the guy who's in charge of the city construction!""Okay!" Barbara immediately picked up the phone and called Keaton.She reported to Jeremy immediately after the call, "Mr Black, Keaton agreed!""Agreed? Haha, that old fox!"Jeremy sneered with a weary look in his eyes. It was said that Keaton from the city construction bureau was a tough but. As long as he was on board, everything would be easy to handle.However, Dexter must have also thought of whatever Jeremy could think of. Furthermore, Dexter had one more card to play, Steven cooks. Jeremy's chances of winning were very slim if secretary Cook weighed in.This made things quie
The door was suddenly pushed open after that. A cold voice rang out, "Mr Smith, you are surely enjoying yourself!"Barbara recognized that familiar voice abd looked at the door in a daze. Wearing a black suite, Dexter stood at the door and watched everything with a cold expression.Barbara's blurred vision gradually became clear. She could see a smile on that familiar face. He looked at them without any emotions in his eyes.Barbara closed her eyes in agony. She would rather be raped than let this man see her in such a sorry plight."Mr Lorenzo!" Randy didn't expect that Dexter would drop in out of the blue. He wore an ingratiating smile on his face. "what brought you here?""This is my turf!" Dexter said in a calm voice , "Randy, you're causing trouble in my territory. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"Dexter was aloof by nature and never liked to meddle in other people's business. Randy had assaulted other women in front of him in the past and had never seen him intervenin
Thomas was astounded to see the bruises on Barbara's face when she went to the hospital, "what's wrong?""It's nothing. I bumped into something by accident!" Barbara forced a smile. "Uncle, how do you feel today?"Much better. Staying in the hospital costs a lot of money. The doctor said I'm recovering well. I want to check out tomorrow and recuperate at home."Knowing Thomas was worried about the expenses of the hospital, Barbara felt a pang in her heart. "We're not going to leave the hospital. You need to stay here for a few more days before you're fully recovered""I'm really alright now, Barbara!""Uncle, you don't have to worry about money, I have money. Mr Black offered me a high salary.""Jeremy treats you well indeed. But you're not alone anymore, Barbara. Besides a sick uncle, you have a child to take care of. Eden is growing up every day. You can't leave him to Nathan forever right? Your son needs his mother"The mention of Edens name made Barbara's face dim. Yes, she still
However, things were difficult when Jeremy got involved. The Black's family was also powerful. Mostly important, Barbara was working for Jeremy. If he could benefit them, why wouldn't he help his daughter?Much to surprise, he saw the bruises on Barbara's lips. He also knew that Jeremy and Randy had a fight and were taken to the police station at noon.At that time, Steven was still wondering why Jeremy would offend Keaton at the junction. But now when he saw Barbara's bruised lips, he was certain that Randy bullied Barbara abd Jeremy was taking revenge for her, which made Steven raving mad."Barbara, I will settle the score with Keaton.Barbara darted a look at him. "Mr Cook, my business has nothing to do with you. You had better not waste time and go back to accompany your wife and daughter!""Barbara, I'm here to tell you something about Jeremy" in front of Barbara, Steven didn't seem like the exalted secretary at all.Barbara's expression softened when she heard him mentioning Jer
He really dotted on Emily and even came to pick a dress for her himself. Barbara mocked herself bitterly. When had he ever been so considerate to herself in the past? She was ready to brush past him with a deadpan look, but Dexter stopped her He stared at her and said, "I want to hear your explanation" "What?" Barbara was stunned "Barbara, why did you ask Kinsey to say that?" Barbara only realized now that Dexter probably heard what Kinsey said to Emily and came here to confront her. She remained silent and felt a chill in her heart. She was ready to leave but Dexter grabbed her hand, "I won't allow you to bully my woman!" "Sir, what do you want!" Barbara didn't even bother to say his name. "Apologize! I want you to apologize to Emily" Dexter clutched Barbara's hand, his fingers turning a little pale. The apathy in Barbara's eyes struck his nerve. She treated him like a total stranger after three years. How heartless could this woman be? Barbara suddenly was choked with emotions
The head of the station smoothed things over and asked her to keep it to herself.Kinsey spent painstaking efforts on this show fora long time and never anticipated such a thing. She was also a straightforward person. While feeling aggrieved, she refused to admit defeat, "let's set this aside for a while first. I will find more sponsorship. I can go to the grassroots if that doesn't work!"The head of the station smiled bitterly and said, "Kinsey, who else in San Francisco would dare to provide you sponsor's after this?"Barbara didn't know about Kinsey's demotion until she came in for rehearsal. Knowing Dexter was behind this, she was so angry that she dialed the phone without thinking...She realized that she dialed the number he had been using three years ago which he might have changed already. Surprisingly, however, the call was connected. She heard Dexter's voice on the other end, "Hello?"Barbara was even more furious upon hearing Dexter's voice. She scolded. "Are you still a hu
The car stopped in front of City Hall. Jeremy got out of the car and led Barbara into the building.The two went to a meeting room and saw Dexter right after they pushed the door open. Dexter wore a well pressed suit and brought his assistant John with him. There were also CEOs and assistants from other companies that participated in the bidding. Barbara stood behind Jeremy after he sat down since other assistants were standing. Surprising, Jeremy pulled her to sit down next to him Seeing how Jeremy arranged for Barbara to sit next to him, Dexter's eyes darkened. Jeremy noticed the change of Dexter's expression and whispered, "Lorenzo seems to be quiet hostile to me""Is that so?" Barbara glanced at Dexter's direction. Dexter's charming eyes stared at her without blinking. Barbara looked away indifferently."Yeah, I always feel that Lorenzo looks at you in a strange way. Do you really not know each other?""I don't know him!""That's weird! Is it because of the fight between me and h
