Chapter 74
“That’s right! Mr. Everett has been coming here every two to three days recently. In the past, it would
be rare if he even visited once a year!”
“Hey, do you think Mr. Everett intends to remarry Miss Haynes?”
“That’s hard to say. I heard that Miss Haynes gave birth to triplets, not twins. The children’s father is
probably Mr. Everett!”
“Wow, if Miss Haynes’ children are Mr. Everett’s, why is she still working so hard? She’s set for life!”
“Really? Isn’t Miss Haynes’ children Mr. Grimm’s?”
“That’s right, isn’t Miss Haynes’ boyfriend Mr. Grimm?”
“Well, no one knows the details. The relationships between the wealthy are complicated. Ordinary
people like us can’t figure them out!”
“Stop talking. Cora is here!”
The employees quickly returned to their duties and did not dare continue gossiping.
Meanwhile, Joanna was busy dealing with the contract in the office.
Although she had signed a contract with the Stark Group, there were still many small details in the
contract that she had yet to figure out.
“Knock! Knock!” There was a knock on the door.
“Please come in!” Joanna thought that Cora was here to deliver the coffee.
Bruce pushed open the door and walked in.
Joanna didn’t even raise her head. “Leave it there!”
Cora would bring in a cup of strong coffee every two hours during office hours.
Coincidentally, she had just finished a cup of coffee, so she thought Cora had brought the next cup in.
Bruce did not say anything and quietly walked to the table.
He just placed his hand on the desk and looked at Joanna amorously.
Joanna finally realized that something was amiss half a minute later.
When she looked up, she realized Bruce had entered her office.
Joanna immediately frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, “Mr. Everett, why are you here again?”
This ba stard had pestered her in the office for half a day yesterday.
If Cora hadn’t come in, he would have forced himself on her again!
Bruce smiled teasingly. He raised his eyebrows slightly and leaned his face closer to hers. “Is there a
problem?
“I’ve already told you that I’ll come to work occasionally. I’ll also inspect your work efficiency when
I’m here.”
Joanna felt her chest hurt from anger when she heard this.
She was the chairwoman of the Haynes Group, the company’s leader! What right did he have to
inspect her work efficiency?
“You… You’re really annoying!”
Bruce walked over and lifted her chin slightly. “Babe, what are you busy with?”
“Cough, cough!” Joanna almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
She didn’t expect Bruce to have such a sleazy side. She felt like retching.
“It’s none of your business! Please watch your words. Don’t misuse them!”
“Hey, I’m also the company’s chairman! Don’t I have the right to ask about company matters?”
“Mr. Everett, you own a big business and have a bunch of elites from all over the world working under
you and earning money for you.
“Of course, you needn’t busy yourself. But please don’t disrupt other people’s work!
“Now get out of here!”
Struck by how adorable Joanna sounded when she was serious, Bruce’s lips curled into a smile. Why
would this silly woman need to work so hard if she just agreed to be with him?
She was making life difficult for herself.
“Alright! Alright! I won’t disrupt you. Continue doing what you were doing!”
Bruce sat down on the sofa opposite Joanna as he spoke and stared at her with an ambiguous and
mischievous smile.
Joanna, who had initially returned to focusing on her work, felt her body pric kling now that he was
staring at her. It was challenging to concentrate when she felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Mr. Everett, it’s strange for you to stare at me like that.”
“I have no choice. I don’t have an office, so I must share one with you.
“Now hurry up and get back to work. Don’t disrupt me from working!”
Joanna’s eyes widened.
She couldn’t believe her ears.
“Mr. Everett, are you being serious? I’m disrupting your work?”
Bruce shrugged innocently. “That’s right! My job is to supervise you.
“You’re disrupting my work if you’re not working hard!”
Joanna’s eyes, wide from shock just now, instantly narrowed into a glare.
This da mn bas tard. No wonder he could dominate the industry. His craftiness and twisted logic were
unmatched.
Joanna suppressed the anger in her heart and called the secretarial desk.
“Cora.”
“Miss Haynes, what are your orders?”
“Clean out an office for Mr. Everett immediately!
“In the future, when Mr. Everett comes over, let him go to his office!”
“Yes, Miss Haynes!”
After hanging up, Joanna was still furious and so decided to turn off the computer.
Bruce did not think much of it. He liked to see Joanna’s reactions when she was angry. “Babe, what are
we having for lunch?”
“Bruce, stop fooling around! I’m working now!”
“You have to cat to work.”
“I’ll have the company’s staff meal. Now leave me alone!”
“Why don’t we go out and eat together?”
“I’m sorry, I’m not free!”
Bruce smiled ambiguously. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll eat the company’s staff meal with you. alright?”
Soon, it was noon and time for lunch.
The employees were given an hour and a half to eat and rest.
Joanna could not be bothered with Bruce. She went to the staff canteen and had the staff meal like the
employees.
