Chapter 64 There Must Be A Reason
What else could he do except for the affairs between men and women.
“Hey –” looking at the mobile phone that returned to the address book, Peter was depressed, “my kindness is not good to return.”
Then he threw the phone away and said, “forget it. I’ll see how you beg me then.”

As soon as she came out of the shop, she received a call from Vivian.
“Annie, where have you been? I didn’t see you when I arrived at the Gu Group.” Said Vivian.
“Damn it. I’m not in the company.” There was a smell of gunpowder in her tone, but she still tried to suppress it in front of Vivian, “what do you want from me?”
“No, it’s time for dinner. I don’t want to eat alone…” Vivian said with embarrassment.
Hearing that, Andy fell into silence. She knew what had happened to Vivian. After her mother’s death, her father brought back the woman and her stepson outside. The family was happy, and Vivian was in an extremely embarrassing situation. That was why his father had sent her abroad alone for so many years.
After adjusting her tone, Andy said to the phone with a smile, “let’s meet at the restaurant. Pick a seat and send it to me.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Vivian sent the address to the restaurant she had been to last time.
It took Andy about an hour to get there because of the traffic jam.
She hurried into the restaurant and found that Bob was also there.
“The dishes are ready.” As soon as she sat down, Bob ordered the waiter.
Looking at Bob and Vivian, she asked curiously, “are you two…”
“No.” Vivian blushed and rarely spoke loudly.
Bob looked at her affectionately and said, “Vivian said that if she didn’t ask for your forgiveness, she wouldn’t make friends with me anymore. Miss. Jian, you are broad-minded. Please give me a chance to restart my life.”
Then he put her hands together in front of him and made a gesture of begging.
Looking at Vivian, who was lowering her head, she couldn’t help but look up at Bob and was amused by him.
This girl was trapped.
Well, with someone accompanying, Vivian wouldn’t be too lonely.
After thinking for a while, Andy took the initiative to raise the glass of wine that had already woken up and said briskly, “cheers! Let’s forget the past.”
“wonderful!” Bob gave her two thumbs up and made a big gesture. Then he quickly picked up the glass and clinked it with Andy. “Cheers. Do as you like.”
After saying that, she raised her neck and drank up the wine in her glass.
She drank it up in one gulp.
Vivian tried to stop her, but failed, “Annie, don’t drink so fast. What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” She didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere, so she said with a smile, “I’m happy.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Bob handed a document to her.
She lowered her head and glanced at the two words “labor contract”, which were obviously the same as what she saw in the afternoon.
“What do you mean?” She smiled bitterly and looked at Bob with self mockery. “You want to sign me?”
“I’m thirsty for talents.” Bob said sincerely, “I can guarantee that no second family in this city can get such good treatment.”
As a talent, he didn’t want to let go of her. Besides, the relationship between them had eased down, and he was so close to Vivian. There was no reason for him not to take action in any way.
Andy sighed and shook her head, “it’s too late. I’ve already signed another house.” “Are you kidding me?” Bob looked at the waiter unhurriedly, hinting him to refill his glass.
“I just signed the contract before I came here.” Said Andy lightly.
Bob finally realized the reality and said remorsefully, “who dares to do that?”
“A villain.” But she didn’t think it was a big deal, so she added, “a despicable villain!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Then she thought of Bill. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have provoked someone like Peter.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The knife and fork grinding the steak made the plate squeak. Seeing this, Vivian and Bob looked at each other and silently shrank their necks.
“Miss. Jian?” A figure suddenly approached their seats.
When A saw Edward, she frowned subconsciously. Why couldn’t she escape?
“Brother?” Bob vigilantly looked behind him and asked, “did you come alone?”
“Come here alone? Is it possible?” The dinner party of Gu family had been here for decades. Every time Edward came, he would follow the whole family. “Mom is outside. She met Mrs. Qin. I guess they will finish talking soon.”
Edward’s eyebrows frowned, and a trace of worry flashed through his heart. When he was in a trance, Vivian said in a hurry, “Bob, I’m not ready yet!”
Edward breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a symbolic snicker. He said mysteriously, “do you want to have a nervous and exciting escape?”
Vivian nodded with expectation, “yes!”
“Come here.” Bob reached out his hand and said, “give me your hand!”
Without hesitation, Vivian held his hand.
Bob pulled her up and the two smiled at each other. Then they looked at Edward and Andy who didn’t know what was going on.
“Brother, I’ll leave Andy to you! Send her back for me!”
Then, before they could react, Bob dragged Vivian to the back door of the restaurant and disappeared behind the curtain.
A opened her chin in disbelief.
So she was left alone?
Or a man she couldn’t avoid?
She closed her lips and made a gesture of swallowing. She looked at Edward innocently, “well, I can do it myself. If you are in trouble…”
“It’s okay. Bob has told me not to send you back. I can’t explain to him either.” Edward didn’t give her a chance to finish her words.
She had no choice but to give up resisting and said weakly, “okay…”
“But,” Edward suddenly added, “I think we’d better go from the back door.”
“Why?” Asked Andy simply.
“Because I don’t have a girlfriend either.” Edward smiled sheepishly.
As soon as she finished, Mrs. Gu voice came from behind, “Edward –”
Just from the voice, Andy could imagine the scene that a mother who was eager to see her son marry and settle down, pulled a suspicious future daughter-in-law and questioned her family members for eight generations.
Without hesitation, she stood up and rushed in the direction where Bob and others had just left.
She moved so fast that even Edward did not react. He stood there in a daze for a while and then chased after her with a smile.
In the dining room, Mr. s Gu said, “Edward, Edward!”
They didn’t dare to stop until they ran out of the restaurant and crossed another street.
“Whoosh -” Andy patted her chest and calmed down. Then she said to Edward, “all right, Mr. Gu, please send me here. I will tell Bob later that you sent me home in person.”
“But Miss. Jian helped me avoid a blind date. I can’t leave you alone without conscience.”
“…” Andy felt like weeping but had no tears. Why could this man always think of a reason to get close to her.
