Chapter 40 He Must Have Done It on Purpose
Betty, with Nikki, was shooting the breeze at the neighbor's when she got a strange call.
She hung up immediately for it was a strange number.
But then she received a photo from the same number.
In the photo, a woman got off a limousine with a tall, handsome young man beside her.
The woman was Ann, but the young man was not her son, Karl.
Betty's face grew solemn at once. When the number called again, Betty told her neighbor to look after
Nikki and went out to answer the call.
"Hello, is that Mrs. Jobson? This is Ann's stepmother. I heard that she is going to marry your son. After
full consideration, I think that there is something I need to tell you..."
Hanging up the phone, Betty was so angry that her face turned pale. She called Karl.
"Come home right now. Tell me what's going on between Ann and that man!"
...
The Moore Group.
Ann followed after her senior to the meeting room and introduced the proposal for the research and
development of the perfume.
During the meeting, she pretended not to see Phillip and his gaze on her.
Regardless of what Phillip was about to do, he was just her boss now.
After all, groups had introduced their proposals, it was time for Phillip to make a decision.
However, Phillip was still staring at Ann. The others looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
There was an atmosphere of embarrassment among all.
Although Ann hadn't look up to see Phillip, she was annoyed by his gaze.
What a shameless man! How could he look at her all the time?
Ann wished the project to end soon!
Looking at Ann who had lowered her head to her chest, Philip gave a faint smile and a teasing
expression.
At long last, Phillip stopped looking at her. Then he made brief comments on the proposals and gave
some advice.
Then he leaned back in his chair and slowly said, "Dismiss."
Ann looked relieved and was going to leave at the moment.
"The Iris Ukiyoe was quite interesting. Who came up with it? Tell me about it in detail."
Hearing this, all people who had already walked to the door halted.
They turned their head to look at Ann who was behind them and then all of them sped away tacitly.
When the door of the meeting room was closed, Ann was nervous.
They got the wrong idea!
It was all because of this man!
Feeling depressed, Ann turned around and saw Phillip stretching his long legs and leaning lazily
against his chair.
Ann forced a fake smile and gritted her teeth.
"Mr. Phillip, what would you like to know about the Iris Ukiyoe?"
Phillip looked up to see Ann who was standing at the door and gritting her teeth. In his eyes, there was
a faint smile.
"Come here."
Ann didn't move. She started to talk about her proposal.
She wanted to leave here as soon as she finished!
"The Iris Ukiyoe is inspired by an Ukiyoe from Country R. As its name implies, it is a floral scent..."
Ann stopped abruptly and retreated with vigilance because she saw Phillip coming over.
"Mr. Philip, what are you doing?"
Phillip bent and looked down at her with a smile.
"You don't want to come over to me, so I come over to you."
What he said was meaningful.
Ann bit her lips and thought, "How could this man cling to me all the time?"
The phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
Ann was delighted and answered the phone without seeing the number on the screen.
"Where are you?" Karl asked, with restrained anger.
"I am still at the company. Karl, what's wrong?"
Phillip's voice sounded slow, "How could you answer a private phone call at work?"
Ann clutched the phone and glared at Phillip.
He must have done it on purpose!
