Chapter 278: Chapter 277: An Unimitable Demeanor
Ivy River said sternly, "I can’t accept another unreasonable patient, I’m really on the brink. If you don’t post it, I’ll go on Twitter to issue a statement. Anyway, I’m pretty well-known now. When Lewis Chadwick comes around, I’ll tell him you didn’t print the notice."
"Alright... I’ll post it. I’ll get it ready soon and make sure it’s a nice one, don’t worry."
Isabella Yeaton panicked the moment she heard Lewis Chadwick’s name.
No.
This isn’t a joke!
She still has to rely on the director for a year-end raise, offending Lewis Chadwick would mean no raise at all!
However, she knew that Ivy River had the final say in her raise.
Satisfied, Ivy River nodded, "Alright, you can go out now. I’ll send you the work arrangements later."
As soon as Isabella Yeaton went out, she immediately started working busily.
...
Blake Clan Group President’s Office.
Isla Sutton stood at the secretary’s office, tearfully pleading, "Harry Ross, please let me see Edwin Blake for just a moment, I really have something important to discuss with him."
Harry Ross formally refused, "Sorry, Miss Sutton, President Blake is busy right now, he’s in a phone conference. If it’s not urgent, tell me and I’ll ask for you when he’s done."
"It’s very important, please go ask him for me!"
Isla Sutton said, trying to push her way inside.
Harry Ross quickly blocked her, looking troubled, "Miss Sutton, you don’t want to put me in a difficult position, do you? This phone conference is very important, it’s about a major project. When it’s over, I’ll go in and ask for you."
"Alright, then I’ll sit here and wait for Edwin. Or maybe I can go in and not say anything, is that okay?"
Harry Ross looked conflicted but firmly refused, "That’s not really possible, Miss Sutton. If you want anything to eat or drink, please let me know, and I’ll prepare it for you."
It’s not that he didn’t want to let her in.
It’s just that the president had specifically instructed him not to let Miss Sutton barge into the office.
Otherwise, he’d lose his year-end bonus.
An adult’s world is simple: affection and money. Since he didn’t have affection, USD was his only source of security!
Isla Sutton stamped her foot, snorted unwillingly, and walked towards the sofa.
After a while.
Harry Ross cautiously entered the office, "President, Miss Sutton is still outside waiting... You can’t avoid seeing her forever, can you?"
"I’m not meeting her, we’re about to start a meeting."
Edwin Blake ordered coldly, "Tell her to leave, I don’t want to see her right now."
Harry Ross looked at him with difficulty, "But... President, you know Miss Sutton’s temper..."
"Do you not understand what I’m saying?"
"Understood, President. I’ll go out and try again."
Harry Ross resignedly walked towards the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Isla Sutton rushed in, "Edwin... Edwin!"
Edwin Blake quickly turned on his computer and looked up, "What’s the matter?"
"Why are you ignoring me? I’ve been waiting outside for a long time."
Isla Sutton shook off Harry Ross’s arm and ran towards Edwin Blake.
Edwin Blake said, "I’m busy. If you have any problems, go to Harry Ross. He can help you with many things."
"Are you angry? I already know I was wrong. The tweet I shared wasn’t what you thought it was. I didn’t express it clearly. I was on your side. I don’t believe that you and Ivy are involved."
Isla Sutton said pitifully, pulling at Edwin Blake’s sleeve with an innocent look.
Edwin Blake frowned.
Isla Sutton would never come so urgently without a reason. It was clear she had some ulterior motive.
It wasn’t just about a tweet.
He glanced at the time, "I have a meeting in ten minutes, I can’t delay."
Isla Sutton froze, knowing Edwin was trying to get rid of her, "I won’t take up your time. I just wanted to explain the situation to you so you don’t misunderstand me."
She spoke with genuine emotion, and Edwin Blake nodded, "Alright, don’t cry. I know you didn’t do it on purpose. Harry Ross is already dealing with it, so you don’t have to worry."
Isla Sutton continued, "Do you have time tonight? I want to have dinner with you and Ava. She misses you... I miss you too."
As she said the last part, Isla Sutton’s face turned slightly red.
Edwin Blake felt a bit conflicted, "I don’t have time tonight, there’s a lot of work lately. Once I’m less busy, I’ll take you both out for dinner. By the way, it’s almost time for new clothes, go buy some. Charge it to my account."
"No!"
Isla Sutton refused decisively.
Edwin Blake was taken aback, "Why not? You used to love shopping."
He thought to himself, how come money doesn’t work anymore...
Realizing she had been too abrupt, Isla quickly backtracked, "I do love shopping, but I love it when you come with me. All the top fashion brands are releasing new clothes and bags, and even Lynn’s brand has new jewelry. I’d love for you to come with me."
"I’m really too busy. Buy all the clothes, bags, and Lynn’s brand items you mentioned."
Edwin Blake said as he looked down to make a transfer.
The next moment.
Isla Sutton’s phone buzzed, but she ignored it, continuing, "You haven’t gone shopping with me in a long time. You weren’t like this before."
"Listen, I’m really busy now. When I’m free, I’ll definitely take you out to have fun."
Isla Sutton reluctantly nodded, "Alright, then take care of yourself while you’re busy. Your health is important, you hear me?"
Edwin Blake responded, "Okay. I have to go to a meeting now. You can stay here or go shopping, and if you need more money, just let me know."
Isla Sutton said directly, "It’s definitely enough. I can’t even spend what you’ve already given me."
"Alright, Harry, get ready for the meeting."
Edwin Blake said, prying Isla Sutton’s hand off his sleeve, and walked coldly out the door.
Harry Ross followed with a smile, "Miss Sutton, I have a meeting. Please make yourself comfortable and let the other secretaries know if you need anything."
Isla Sutton snorted coldly, shot Harry Ross a dismissive glance, and didn’t say anything.
After the two men left.
She hurriedly took out her phone and saw a transfer of ten million.
Isla Sutton’s heart sank again.
There’s still thirty million left...
A final sum of eighty million USD. What status does Lynn have to charge so much!
But she had no choice but to pay.
Thinking about it, Isla Sutton decided to take a risk and began rummaging through Edwin Blake’s drawers.
She found a Pigeon Blood Red necklace.
After some hesitation, she stuffed it into her bag, "Edwin has so many things, he might not notice this necklace. Maybe it was meant for me anyway. Wearing it in advance should be fine."
Resolving her thoughts.
Isla Sutton felt no more guilt, and happily left with her bag and the ten million.
As she passed the secretary’s office, she raised her head and looked at the secretaries with contempt, "Do your work and stay focused!"
Upon hearing this, all the secretaries lowered their heads and started typing on their keyboards.
Isla Sutton flipped her hair and walked out proudly.
"Really, does she genuinely think that she’s elegant and noble? She can’t even mimic Madam’s innate demeanor."
As soon as she left, the secretaries started gossiping.
