His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1301 Getting Involved

Sensing success in this endeavor, Holley just kept silent. She did not want to do anything that would

push Charles to make a hasty decision. It would be better if it came from him. She seated herself

leisurely and looked around his office with great interest.

For the longest time, silence reigned in the room.

Finally, Charles said hoarsely, "I agree to work with Tarsan Corporation to finish this project."

Hesitation and helplessness were obvious as he pressed his brows after saying his decision out loud.

Deep inside, he knew he wasn't sure if what he did was right.

Opposite, Holley gave him her biggest smile ever.

"As I expected, Mr. Lu, you made a wise decision. With the two powerful companies joining hand in

hand, this project will surely be completed successfully. What's more, maximum profit is in store for us

in the near future. I look forward to our working together."

Holley extended her hand to shake hands.

Charles had no choice but to shake hands with Holley. "Same here."

Not long, the two people soon confirmed the cooperation with Party A.

After signing the contract, Holley suggested that Charles and she create a project committee which

would be composed of their top caliber employees. Without hesitation, Charles agreed. Anyway, he

was already thinking of letting one of his assistants take charge of the project. He would just ask for

updates on its progress every now and then.

At the reception of Shining Company

Holley lightly tapped the reception desk with a smile.

"Good day, Miss Ye. It's nice to see you again," she greeted Holley respectfully when she saw it was

her.

"I am here to see Mr. Lu," Holley informed her with a smile.

"Just for a moment, Miss Ye." Then, the receptionist dialed the CEO's office and informed Charles of

her presence. Charles replied, "I know." And, he hung up.

Annoyance was clearly written on Charles' face. At the beginning of the project, Holley was always

seen at Shining Company every two or three days. He already instructed her to talk to his employee

about the project. But still, she kept on bothering him.

Meanwhile, the receptionist was confused and didn't know what to do. Charles' answer was vague.

On the other hand, Holley visited Shining Company almost every day ever since the project started.

Anyone with sharp eyes would know that she had another purpose unrelated to business.

When the two receptionists exchanged looks with each other, Holley already understood. What she did

was walk towards the elevator without glancing back.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, they began talking in lower voices.

"Do you notice? Miss Ye is here almost every day! Do you think she has a crush on Mr. Lu?" After

always seeing Holley in the company, the girl who was regularly assigned at the reception asked her

colleague curiously. She couldn't help not to ask anymore.

"And, coming here every time dressed seductively? I definitely think it is true! What's more, she always

asks where Mr. Lu is whenever she comes around,"

the other receptionist answered jealously, feeling envious and resentful towards Holley.

"But... Mr. Lu has a wife and two kids! Does Miss Ye want to be involved with a married man?!"

Because of astonishment, the receptionist voiced her opinion out loud.

"Didn't you know the latest news about Mr. Lu? With an intention to kill, his wife pushed his mother

down the stairs. No matter how deeply he loves his wife, it is natural for him to get mad at her after

what happened. It is his mother, for God's sake! And now, I believe, Miss Ye sees this as an opportunity

to seduce Mr. Lu." With conviction on her tone, she clearly believed what she thought was true. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Oh! I didn't know that. And, I haven't thought of Miss Ye in such a way. What a seductress! I hope that

Mr. Lu won't fall into her trap so easily. I don't see Miss Ye as the right woman for Mr. Lu."

Understanding each other perfectly, the two girls suddenly laughed loudly. In their eyes, aside from

being wealthy and powerful, Charles was the most handsome man they had ever seen. If they never

knew that he was just a human being like them, they would really say he was a perfect man, a god.

Therefore, in their eyes, Holley naturally didn't qualify to be with him.

When the elevator stopped on the CEO's floor, Holley stepped out. She walked directly to Charles'

office, knocked, and opened the door. What she saw was Charles, with his head bowed, busy with the

files in front of him.

"Mr. Lu, I came here to inform you of a new aspect about the project."

Every time she came to see Charles, she noticed that his replies became simpler and more indifferent.

So this time, she made sure that she had something important to say.

"Miss Ye, if I remember correctly, I already told you to discuss everything about the project directly with

Mr. Zhao. I have already assigned him on this project. He would be following up its progress. So, there

is no really need to inform me anymore." Without looking up from the files, Charles informed her.

"Mr. Lu, I firmly believe that this project is very important and should be given a top priority. So, it's

necessary to inform you personally." When Charles did not answer right away, Holley felt disappointed.

"Now that you have already informed me, is there anything else?" Charles finally raised his head and

looked at Holley.

Upon hearing Charles' answer, Holley suddenly didn't know what to say. She could hear the impatience

in his voice. But, she didn't want to leave without gaining anything.

"Yes, there's one more thing. Our companies have been working together for quite some time now. In

celebration of our cooperation, may I have the honor to treat you to dinner?"

Hoping to get a yes from him, Holley walked closer to his table and bent to look at him eye to eye. Her

hair was even cascading on his table. Seeing her intention, he turned a blind eye on what she was

doing.

"I am sorry, Miss Ye. I can't accept your offer. As you can see, Shining Company is so busy. I have tons

of work to do."

Trying very hard to control his impatience, Charles answered Holley as gracefully as he could. But

deep inside, he wanted to kick her out of his office. If not for their companies working together in a

project, he would surely have done that. But he knew it would be unpleasant for the company.

"But, Mr. Lu, no matter how busy you are, you surely do eat dinner. Right? Why don't we grab

something quick to eat? Just around the vicinity. Is that okay with you?"

Hearing Holley's endless talk, Charles wanted to shut her mouth to prevent hearing more from her.

"Look! If you want to have dinner, just go and eat by yourself! I don't want to go out with you! I am

satisfied to eat in the cafeteria." Charles lost his control and answered her harshly.

For the first time, Holley felt scared. She had never seen this side of him before. In her eyes, he was

always the perfect gentleman.

Comforting herself, she just thought that Charles must be too busy and tired these past few days. That

was why he lost control of his emotions.

"I understand, Mr. Lu. But remember, you have to take care of your health despite your hectic

schedule."

Charles didn't reply anymore to her unnecessary concern. Instead, he was annoyed of her expressing

her love unexpectedly last time.
