Chapter 444 – Is the Good Man Finished Acting?
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault Tess Baker, I will trust you in the future and never question you! I won’t force you anymore when you don’t want to!” Bowen Carter hugged her hard, his voice hoarse and shaky, “Anything as long as you don’t leave me!”
He just couldn’t imagine life without her!
The words hit home, and Secretary Wang was initially moved, but coughed uncontrollably when he heard ‘you don’t want to do it’ or something.
The president looked ascetic Fan full, did not expect that he would also force Mrs. … What s that!
She felt really awkward staying here and gently walked out, closing the office door for the two.
Tess Baker was confined in Bowen Carter’s arms, unable to move. She listened to what he was saying and just laughed, “Did you move yourself with what you said?”
Maybe the old her would have been moved, but not anymore.
He made her so many promises, which one did he keep? He would just talk about it!
“Tess Baker …” Bowen Carter wrapped his arms around her tightly, wanting to set her into his bones and become one with him so he wouldn’t have to fear her suddenly disappearing.
He was so strong that Tess Baker could barely breathe as she said coldly, “You’re hurting me.”
Upon hearing this, Bowen Carter immediately let go of her, the tension in his eyes disappearing only when he saw that she was okay.
He wouldn’t let anyone hurt her again, including himself!
Tess Baker, however, just cringed, “Are you done playing the nice guy? You can go now.”
He just gave her to a lesbian inmate to humiliate her two days ago, and now he’s acting like this nice guy for who?
“Tess Baker …”
Bowen Carter had just opened his mouth when Tess Baker interrupted him with a cold, “Get out!”
She doesn’t want to see him!
“… Fine.” After a long moment, Bowen Carter frowned, “But don’t you dare try to kill yourself, and if you die, neither will THE Mark Family.”
He didn’t want to threaten her and bore her, but there was nothing else he could do but threaten.
“Heh!” Tess Baker sneered, finally realizing why he had just gotten so nervous, “I’m not going to kill myself for you,” she stared at him intently as she slowly spat out three words, “You don’t deserve it.”
The last three words weighed heavily on Bowen Carter’s mind and he clenched his fists, desperate to prove that she still cared about him, “What about last night? Didn’t you choke on the water like that afterward because you tried to kill yourself in the bathroom?”
Tess Baker froze for a moment, that suffocating feeling of being smothered in water from last night coming back.
Her voice was soft as she tried to look calm, “I just didn’t want to go out to see you and fell asleep in the tub, not realizing that I would then slip inside the water.”
Bowen Carter’s heart poked and prodded as he watched her lips open and close.
She doesn’t want to see him that badly?
Is it no longer possible for them to be together without any problems?
Tess Baker looked disgusted, “Can we get out now?”
Bowen Carter opened his mouth to explain something, but just said “You rest well, we’ll have lunch together at noon” and left the lounge.
The moment the door closed, the break room was isolated from the entire office.
Tess Baker sat bolt upright in bed, the corners of her eyes glazed over.
When he didn’t want to be with her, he completely ignored her explanations and begging and kicked her away; when he realized it was all just a misunderstanding and wanted to be with her again, he completely ignored her feelings and forced her to stay with him.
What Bowen Carter needs isn’t a lover, just a robot that can react as he expects to changes in his thoughts!
It wasn’t love, it was just possession on one side, and all this time it had been nothing more than wishful thinking on her part that there was love between them!
Bowen Carter stood in the doorway of the tightly closed lounge, pain in his dark eyes.
How deeply did he hurt her to drive a woman who loved him enough to do anything to be with him to hate him?
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
Bowen Carter resumed his expressionless look, afraid of disturbing Tess Baker’s rest, as he exited the office and closed the door.
Standing outside the door was Secretary Wang, who had seven or eight bags hanging from her left and right hands combined, all of which had the logo of a well-known designer on them.
“President, this is the dress you ordered for your wife, put it in your office or what?” Secretary Wang spoke carefully, afraid of annoying him.
Bowen Carter scanned down at the bags and reached out to take them, “You’re free to go.”
The image of the always unattainable president carrying a pile of ladies’ clothes was so beautiful that Secretary Wang sneaked a few glances before nodding his head in a complicated mood and heading for the secretary’s office.
But she had only taken two steps when Bowen Carter called out, “Wait.”
“Is there anything else you wish to order?” Secretary Wang stopped and turned back to him, asking warily.
Bowen Carter, “How many of the company’s employees are married or have boyfriends and girlfriends?”
This question was asked too abruptly, and Secretary Wang froze for a moment before saying sheepishly, “I haven’t understood this aspect, I’ll go investigate in a moment.”
Why is the president asking this all of a sudden?
Is … going to fix office romances?
Bowen Carter nodded and said irrefutably as he pushed the door open, “Have each of them write an admission of guilt program with their significant other and have it in my mailbox by two o’clock this afternoon.”
“!” Secretary Wang’s pupils crinkled, and when he was about to ask something, the door had already closed.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
She sighed and glanced down at her watch, it was already ten thirty, she’d better hurry up and inform the poor staff.
…
Inside the lounge.
Tess Baker was awakened by a knock on the door, she rubbed her somewhat distended brow and went over to open it.
Bowen Carter stands outside the door, just a few moments out of sight, and he’s changed into a dark blue striped suit suit. He usually only wears black suits, and the visual effect of suddenly changing into a blue one looks stunning.
“Yes?” Tess Baker didn’t look at him more than once because he’d changed his clothes, and she stood with one hand on the door and the other on the wall in front of the modestly exposed doorway, with absolutely no intention of going out or letting him in.
There was a flash of loss under Bowen Carter’s eyes, but no extra expression changed on his handsome face, “Out to lunch.”
He had lunch sent to the office, Tess Baker was still in her monthly cycle and it was not good for her to go out in the wind.
“Not hungry.” Tess Baker spat out two words faintly and was about to close the door.
Bowen Carter got a head start on the door and didn’t let her close it.
“Anything else?” Tess Baker asked impatiently as she pushed harder or couldn’t close it.
It made Bowen Carter uncomfortable that she was looking at him like that, and he lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her thin body, his usual commanding tone, “Come out to dinner.”
Before she could refuse, he spoke slightly faster, “Mike’s coming too.”
“Switching up the bullying, at your expense!” Tess Baker taunted, opening the door and walking out.
