Chapter 100
“Call the police then!” Bruce said as he sneered.
When Joanna heard this, her beautiful face turned extremely displeased! She would never dare to call the police.
With work being so important now, any negative impact would be a heavy blow to the Haynes Group.
“Please, Bruce, I beg you!” Joanna said. “Can you stop disrupting the order of the Haynes Group…”
Bruce interrupted her immediately. “How did I disrupt the company’s order?” he said. “I haven’t even pursued the matter of you disrupting the entire market!
“You still have the cheek to say that I’m disrupting the company’s order, huh? Besides, I’m also a director of the company. Can I not come to the office?”
Joanna took a deep breath and said, “What are you even doing here in the office? You’re not involved in the management. You’re here purely for fun!”
Upon hearing this, Bruce raised his eyebrows and gave a sly smile. “Hey, you’re right!” he said. “I’m just here to have some fun!
“I gave you two big deals. shouldn’t you make me happy? In other words, shouldn’t you make an effort to please me?”
Joanna retorted angrily, “Hmph, you’re really shameless! I fought for those two deals myself. They were not given to me by you!”
Bruce lit a cigarette and took a slow drag. “Well, women have two mouths and can make any argument seem reasonable. Women control men!”
As he spoke, there was a hint of provocation and frivolity in his eyes as he enjoyed the sight of Joanna being angry and frustrated.
He liked to see her stomping her feet in anger and losing her mind!
“You….” Joanna’s little face turned angry. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She even coughed twice
because of the smell of smoke.
“Can you not smoke in my office?” Joanna said.
Bruce was stunned. As he saw Joanna coughing continuously, he subconsciously put out the cigarette.
Bruce said, “Don’t forget that my job is to supervise you!
“From today onwards, I’ll come to the office every day to supervise you at work!”
“What right do you have to supervise me?” Joanna said. “Are you the president of the country? Who gave you such authority?” Joanna was completely speechless with anger.
The feeling was like a bully coming into one’s home, eating and drinking everything, and then throwing pots and pans around!
However, one could not afford to offend the bully. Neither could one avoid the bully.
Bruce smiled. He leaned lazily against the backrest of the chair, crossed his long legs, and placed his feet on the computer desk in a domineering manner!
Then, he leisurely read the newspaper.
“Could you make me a cup of tea?” Bruce said.
Joanna was so choked up with anger that she could not even speak. She was left speechless.
“Hurry up and go. Bruce said. “What are you waiting for?”
Joanna took a deep breath and walked out.
Alright, since he wanted her to make tea, she would do it!
Joanna went to the pantry and took a cup. Then, she placed a tea bag of black tea in it.
After pouring half a cup of hot water into the cup, she proceeded to add some dirty water from the sink.
A moment later, Joanna held the teacup and placed it in front of Bruce. “Here you go!” she said.
Bruce’s eyes flickered. He looked at Joanna with a half–smile. “So obedient, huh? This doesn’t seem like your style.”
“Do you want to drink it?” Joanna asked.
“Sigh, forget it!” Bruce said. “In ancient times, Wu Dalang was poisoned by his own wife. Who knows if history will repeat itself today?”
“Don’t worry, there’s no poison in the tea!” Joanna said. “If I were to poison you, wouldn’t I have to pay with my life? It’s not worth it to sacrifice myself for a man like you!”
Bruce sneered. He then held the teacup and sniffed it.
There was a strange smell in the teacup. Bruce was such a picky person, so he naturally would not drink it. He casually put the teacup back.
“Okay, okay,” Bruce said. “Since you said it’s not worth it, it’s not worth it then!” Bruce said. “Jeez, after eating and drinking their fill, women forget about the goodness of men!”
Joanna said, “Bruce, stop talking nonsense…”
As Joanna was speaking, she suddenly stopped. “Why bother arguing with him?” she thought. Then, she said. “Forget it. Say whatever you want.”
With that, Joanna turned around, wanting to leave.
Bruce’s eyes widened and he sat up straight. “Where are you going?” he asked.
“Oh come on, how am I supposed to work when you’re occupying my office?” Joanna said.
“You can’t go anywhere,” Bruce said. “If you want to work, work here! Don’t get out of my sight!”
Joanna laughed out of anger. “Bruce, are you sick?” she said.
Bruce raised his eyebrows and said, “Yes, I am! You’re my cure!”
“Psychopath!” Joanna said. She could not help but curse. She turned around, wanting to leave.
“Try taking another step!” Bruce said. His voice suddenly became serious.
Joanna stopped in her tracks upon hearing Bruce’s words.
This damn bastard, if she provoked him, he might use force on her again.
“What the hell do you want?” Joanna asked.
“Come back and work under my watchful eyes!” Bruce said. “If you dare to leave my sight, you know the consequences.”
Joanna swallowed her anger.
She angrily moved the documents and computer onto the coffee table.
She still had a lot of documents to deal with today, so she did not have the time to argue with Bruce.
Just as she put on her glasses to start working on the documents, her phone began to vibrate with a series of beeps.
Joanna instinctively took out her phone and glanced at it.
The call was from Jaydon.
Joanna muted her phone and stood up again. She did not dare to answer the call in front of Bruce.
“Where are you going now?” Bruce said.
“Can I go out and take a call?” Joanna said.
“Just take the call here,” Bruce said.
Joanna replied, “Bruce, you’re so annoying!
“Can you not be so overbearing?”
Bruce sneered and said, “No, I can’t!”
“Okay, I won’t answer the call then,” Joanna said. “Is that good enough for you?” She then angrily hung up the phone.
Jaydon called a few more times, but none of the calls made to Joanna was able to go through.
It was almost noon.
Jaydon personally came to the office to look for Joanna.
When Cora saw Jaydon, she quickly went forward to greet him. “Hi Mr. Grimm, you’re here,” she said.
“Hello, Mr. Grimm!” Several staff members also greeted Jaydon one after another.
Jaydon brought Starbucks coffee and cakes. He smiled and handed it to Cora. “This is for everybody!” he said.
“Thank you, Mr. Grimm,” Cora said. “You’re so kind!”
One after another, a few high–level executives came over to get coffee and cake. However, they felt worried.
Today, it seemed that there would be another intense conflict.
“Where’s Joann?” Jaydon asked.
Cora shifted her gaze a few times before she said, “Uh, Miss Haynes is in the office.”
“Is she busy today?” Jaydon said. “I called her several times, but she didn’t answer.”
“Yes…” Cora said. She hesitated, wanting to say something but she held back.
“I go in and look for her,” Jaydon said.
Cora quickly stopped Jaydon. “Mr. Grimm, please wait!” she said. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“What’s wrong?” Jaydon asked.
“It’s not a good time for you to go in right now,” Cora said.
Jaydon was left speechless. He looked at Cora in confusion.
Cora knew about his relationship with Joanna. He often went in and out of Joanna’s office in a casual manner.
“Um, I think I’ll go in and report to Miss Haynes first,” Cora said.
“Alright, Jaydon said.
“Please wait in the reception room for a while, Mr. Grimm,” Cora said.
“Okay!” Jaydon said.
Cora gathered her courage and knocked on the office door loudly.
“Come in!”
Cora walked in with a stack of files and said, “Miss Haynes, there’s a client here.”
