Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 123

It was pointless talking to someone like my mother-in-law , so I smiled at her as she rambled

on . Eventually , she got bored talking to herself , so she stopped . “ I’m going to

take a look at Joana “ .

“ Of course . “ I wanted nothing more than for her to leave . _

When she was at

the door , she looked at me . “ Tell Carlos that you will be discharged as soon as possible . _ fifteen tho

usand per

day is too wasteful .

“ Of course . ”

My mother-in – law then left , much to my relief . When I was about to call Isabel , I heard my mother-

in-law ask loudly at the door : “ You ‘re Henriques Ribeiro , are n’t you ? ”

“ I am , and you are ? Henry asked . _ I could imagine he must be scowling at her by now .

“ Why did you take my son ‘s client ? _ Do

you have any grudge against him ?! she screamed , sounding like a whore . _

“ Who is your son ? ” Henriques replied calmly . ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“ Oh , I

forgot to do the introductions . Charles is my son . He is the president of Axcom . She emphasized on ‘

president ‘ , as what she meant was that Henriques should meet Carlos , as they were both presidents

. _

“ Oh , so you are Mr. _ _ _ Morais ” , Henriques spoke slowly . “ Good morning , Mrs. _ Morals . ”

My mother-in-law , being the socially inept and rude woman that she

was , snapped , “ I’m not having a good day , brat ! Mr. Ribeiro , why did you take my son ‘s client ?

Henriques said nothing , obviously shocked by her ridiculous behavior . _ _ Someone like him has prob

ably never had contact with lay people like Mrs. Morals .

My mother – in –

law thought his silence meant he felt guilty . “ Integrity is important to business . _ My son was suppos

ed to deal with the customer , so you should have stayed out ! You are rich and have many companies

!Why would you compete with my son ?! ”

Mrs. _ Morais bombarded him with questions without fear or embarrassment . _ Suddenly , someone s

aid : “ Mr. _ Ribeiro , do you need us to chase that old hag away ? ”

“ What did you call me ? Rude ! I ‘m not old at all ! What ? _ Do you think I ‘m old ?! ”

Mrs. _ _ Morais was a vixen who argued with whoever she wanted . As the hustle and

bustle outside increased , I got a headache , so I massaged my temples , wondering if I should go outs

ide .

A moment later , Henriques said , “ You do n’t look a day over eighteen , Mrs. _ Morals . He ‘s just bad

with words . _

“ But you don’t , Mr. Ribeiro . You are polite , I see . Oh right , you can give my son the business back ,

Mr. _ _ Ribeiro ? “ Return the business ? ” I could hear the sardonic laugh in his voice and I

blushed with embarrassment.. “ Call Mr. _ Morales here then . ” He had raised his voice as he spoke .

“ Really ? I will call my son immediately ! _ Overjoyed , my mother-in – law tried to call him .
