Love You Can’t Say

Dennis’ office was huge, with a compartment, which was furnished soundly.

I frowned, “I am not drowsy.”

But he ignored me, taking me to the compartment. He turned on the air-conditioner, “Have a rest now.” With that, he took away my phone.

“Dennis!” What time was it! How can I fall asleep? “I got up late and I am not sleepy.”

He looked over at me, “You need me beside you?”

Speechlessly, I went straight to the bed with anger, and covered my head with the quilt. “I am sleeping, you can go.”

Then I heard his voice with laughter, “OK!”

Soon, it got quiet in the compartment. He must have left. I pulled away the cover, staring at the ceiling.

Did Dennis have changed out of guilt?

Did the marriage last long without love?

I was distracted, and cannot fall asleep with things in mind. I got up to find my phone, but it was outside there.

Off the bed, I went out of the compartment, seeing no Dennis there.

I looked around, seeing a man behind the curtain on the balcony. I picked up my phone and was going to the compartment.

But I heard his voice on call, “Is she fine now?”

He then uttered, “Well, you take her to have a check and get her wrapped. After that, you drive her back to L Community.”

It’s about Olivia Pearson.

Yes, Olivia also got hurt. The one who was not on his lips was the one he cared best.

He didn’t love me, but shouldered the responsibility.

Dennis was surprised to see me, and he walked to me, “Why not have a rest?”

I showed him the phone, “I am here to pick the phone.”

“You don’t need the phone while sleeping.”

“Well.”

Back to the compartment, I lost in thoughts.

Thanks to the pregnant drowsiness, I soon fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was noon. Hearing the noise, I got off bed, with a headache because of long sleep.

I pushed open the door, to see Dennis and Marcus in a fight. But they stopped when seeing me.

Dennis threw a stack of files to Marcus, saying in a cold tone, “Don’t make yourself in trouble, and I hope that you will never do it again.”

Picking up the files, Marcus shoot me and then left.

In confusion, I wondered why?

“What are you thinking?” Dennis uttered, sitting on the executive chair and reaching to me, “Come!”

I stepped forward, sitting on his lap. I said spiritlessly, “I slept too much and feel a little bit uncomfortable.”

He touched my hair and put his face against my neck, “OK, I take you to linger around later. What do you want to have?”

“Not hungry!” I looked up to the clock on the wall, and it’s 3:00 pm. I slept for almost 4 hours, no wondering that I felt so uncomfortable.

He got me a cup of water, “Stefan Pearson just called and invited us to have dinner tonight. Would you like to go?”

I paused, sipping the water and putting it down, “You accepted it?”

He nodded, “Yes, I want to take you to have something better.”

That’s a good excuse.

As president of the George Group, he didn’t have to rely on someone else to get me something better.

“It’s up to you.” I got up, and smoothed the winkles on my clothes, “I need to get back to my office.”

I had done nothing this day in the company, except sleeping.

At this time, his call rang. He nodded at me, “You go and I will pick you up later.”

Back to my office, I saw Jackie with an ugly look. Seeing me, she forced a smile, “Director!”

“What’s up?” Looking at clean table, I asked, “There are no documents today?”

Jackie lowered head, and said in a low mood, “The documents from AC were returned and President George required to redo.”

“Redo the audit of Thomson Group?”

“Yes!”

“Dennis required it?”

She nodded.

I knew why Marcus got a bad face just in Dennis’ office.

“Do you know why?” Dennis was not that kind of person to trouble someone for no reason.

“It seems there is something wrong with the Audit, and it’s not so serious. But President got furious.” Jackie faltered, avoiding my eyes.

I stopped asking. Now that Dennis required to redo the audit, I can do nothing to change his mind.

I nodded, and then recalled the HY things, “Anything wrong with HY?”

“No, and the market reacted well, but there is something wrong with JD Technology?”

Pausing, I looked over at her, “What?”

“A company of science and technology in A city is recently buying it, and the leaders in JD Technology held opposite standpoints.”

Jackie had been focusing on it. I nodded, “You find someone to investigate the company in A city. You make an appointment with JD Technology as soon as possible.

Dennis should also want to buy JD Technology. Perhaps the company in A city also wanted to buy JD Technology for its technology.

After chatting for a while, she went back to work. I turned on the computer and searched for JD Technology, to find that it’s a small company with good market value. But its president was not good at managing, so the company had spent more than it received.

A while later, Dennis came in. He took off the suit jacket, which made him less depressed but more debonair.

“What are you doing?”

Shutting down the computer, I got up, “JD Technology, we need to set out? Did Stefan Pearson tell the address?”

He nodded, and hugged me, “Yeah, let’s go. Hungry?”

“Nope!” I seldom felt hungry these days.

Dennis’ car was parked in the basement parking, but I was freaked out by it. So I went to the gate first, waiting.

With folks coming and going, I directly got seated beside the flower-beds.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

It’s work-off time, and the workers successively came out. I saw a familiar figure. It’s Jackie in a light yellow dress. She got into a black car of Cadillac with a happy look.
