Speakerphone...
She cursed Edwin Blake a thousand times in her heart.
Wasn’t everything she just said heard by everyone, including the higher-ups?
Harry Ross’s voice came through, "President Blake, I also stepped out, do you need me to switch off the audio?"
Edwin Blake answered faintly with an "mmhmm" and waited until Harry left.
Then he smiled and spoke to Ivy River, "Ivy River? Why so silent?"
"Damn it!"
Ivy River blurted out a curse.
Edwin Blake held back a laugh, "Haven’t heard from you in years, and now you learned to curse?"
"You shameless! Why didn’t you tell me the audio was connected to the conference room?"
Edwin Blake replied, "You didn’t ask me. I had just answered the call and didn’t get a chance to speak before you started talking; I didn’t even have the chance to stop you."
"So this is all my fault then?" Ivy River retorted angrily.
"If you want to think of it that way, it’s not impossible. Originally, I’m also a victim, letting so many people hear about me crawling into a girl’s bed in the middle of the night. There’ll surely be a wave of gossip at the Blake Clan," Edwin Blake said with a green tea tone.
Ivy River couldn’t help but scold, "Ugh! If you weren’t doing such things, how would people gossip? Now you’re pretending to be an innocent flower, so cheap."
Hearing her break down, Edwin Blake stopped teasing her, and spoke seriously, "What’s going on? Why did you call me?"
"Why did you crawl into my bed in the middle of the night? Did you come over from the balcony next door?"
Edwin Blake chuckled lightly and only then realized if it was too late?
"I don’t know, didn’t I tell you? I came while sleepwalking; sleepwalkers can often do astonishing things. What if I climbed the wall?"
Ivy River scolded, "You’re full of crap! Just try spewing nonsense!"
Edwin Blake said earnestly, "I’m serious, I have lots of meetings today. Otherwise, I would definitely go to the hospital to check this out."
Ivy River couldn’t help but clench her fist, "Bastard! I hope the doctor prescribes something that knocks you out."
"Hmm? You know, maybe the problem is with the herbal medicine you prescribed last time?" Edwin Blake countered.
"Don’t slander me!" Ivy River was nearly driven mad by him.
"What if it is? I didn’t even check the ingredients, just drank it. The sleepwalking symptoms appeared after drinking the medicine."
Ivy River cursed, "Shameless! How did I not notice how shameless you are before!"
Edwin Blake continued, "As my attending doctor, I’m having problems after drinking your prescribed medicine; you need to be responsible."
"How should I be responsible?"
Edwin Blake gave an ambiguous smile, "Just marry me."
"Screw off!"
Ivy River angrily hung up the phone.
If she had seen the smile on Edwin Blake’s lips, she might have beaten him to death.
Being hung up on didn’t bother Edwin Blake; he got up and opened the door to leave, "Let’s go, Harry."
Harry observed the cheerful Edwin Blake and knew he was in a good mood.
He immediately spoke, "Boss, you seem to be in a good mood now; there’s something I want to discuss."
Edwin Blake was in a great mood, "Go ahead."
"Recently, Miss Sutton has been contacting me frequently, hinting that she’s out of pocket money. Could she get an advance on her salary?" Harry quickly relayed the message he’d been holding for two days.
Edwin Blake hadn’t been happy in a while, so he wanted to seize every opportunity!
Edwin Blake frowned slightly, "Out of money, huh? Asking for salary advances makes no sense. Transfer ten million from my private account to her."
Harry replied, "Got it."
He couldn’t help but think.
The original spouse is indeed better; those who came later have to look at the original’s mood to survive.
When the original’s mood is bad, the successor lives a sad life.
Tsk.
Edwin Blaze seemed to think of something, "Wait, why is she asking you for a salary advance? Shouldn’t she be going to the company’s finance department?"
Harry instinctively said, "Yeah, I was curious about that too! I’m just a small assistant, not an all-purpose tool!"
Edwin Blake replied mildly, "Well, it’s not important anyway. Just remember to do the transfer; she’s probably really out of money."
Harry was speechless.
It’s likely that this lady’s salary isn’t enough.
The real purpose is to use him as a breakthrough point.
To have him act as a messenger to Edwin Blake.
So cunning! Just too cunning!
She didn’t dare, but does he dare?
If Mrs. didn’t make the boss happy today, he wouldn’t be able to handle this task.
Then when Isla Sutton asks,
He could offend both sides.
Sigh, the assistant’s job is tough.
Halfway through, Edwin Blake noticed Harry hadn’t followed. He spoke coldly, "Harry."
Harry snapped back, "Coming, coming, I was just thinking about the medicine Mrs. gave you; I should arrange for someone to prepare it."
Edwin Blake nodded and didn’t pursue it further, "Bring it to the villa once it’s ready."
"The villa with Mrs. or the marital home?" Harry verified.
Edwin Blake glared at him, "What do you think!"
Harry understood immediately, "Got it, got it. Understood completely."
Edwin Blake thought for a moment, "Don’t schedule any meetings after six tonight, I’m having dinner at home."
Harry replied, "Okay, I’ll arrange it."
Now he dared only to say okay and nothing else.
"This afternoon, go buy a computer and all kinds of children’s toys," Edwin Blake suddenly remembered about the child and instructed Harry.
"What kind of computer do you want?"
Edwin Blake glanced lightly, "The best one, for Vincent River."
Harry realized, "Got it. I’ll pick a gaming laptop for the young master; what about the toys?"
Edwin Blake said coldly, "Do I know? What am I paying you for? Asking me about everything; I might as well go buy them myself!"
Harry said quietly, "Buying them yourself would show your affection for the child."
"What?" Edwin Blake asked loudly.
"Nothing, boss, I’ll go do some research right away," Harry said and then ran out like the wind.
This place is not safe to linger!
...
On Isla Sutton’s side, she received the notification of Edwin Blake’s transfer.
She couldn’t help but frown.
Why only ten million?
Her remaining payment requires at least fifty million, still forty million short.
What to do?
Looking at her fairytale-like conversation with Harry, she subtly inquired, "Did Edwin ask you to transfer the money to me?"
Harry replied without hesitation, "Yes, the boss, he personally told me to transfer ten million to you. Is it not enough? If not, I can apply for more."
"Oh, no need, it’s enough," Isla Sutton quickly stopped him.
"Then I’ll hang up now, Miss Sutton. The boss needs to see me for something."
"Alright."
Harry immediately hung up.
Isla Sutton wore a bitter look, fiddling with the recent design competition entries.
How would she know what elements to use?
She hadn’t even attended a few sessions of the designer training classes.
The overseas certificate was all bought with money!
Suddenly, a thought struck her; she drove straight to the mall to check out the latest popular styles.
Then maybe she could blend them.
Coincidentally,
She happened to bump into Edwin Blake, who was picking out toys for a child.
She walked up immediately, "Edwin, are you buying toys for Ava?"
Startled by the sudden voice behind him, Edwin Blake turned and frowned, seemingly not expecting to see her here.
"Ava doesn’t have toys? Then go ahead and pick," Edwin Blake said and turned back to continue choosing toys.
Isla Sutton was taken aback, pointing at the toys in Harry’s arms.
Anyone could see they were picked for a little girl.
"Aren’t these toys being chosen for Ava?"
Harry answered tactfully, "These are for the little miss."
