She drank a large glass of water angrily. “By the way, can you believe that I didn’t even drink a glass of water at his place?”
Mireya patted her shoulder sympathetically. “How blind must you have been to fall in love with him before?”
“You know that I’m blind too?” Cate looked up and sighed. “I blocked his number as soon as I left. How infuriating.”
“Well done. You must be tired. Go take a break and then sleep.” Mireya comforted her. “I believe that after this experience, your heart will be calmer and will no longer ripple for him.”
Cate sneered, “The only ripples I’ll have for him are from anger.”
Lyons Corporation.
The next morning at 8:00 a.m.
When Shaun came out of the elevator, he heard Hadley chatting with several women in the secretary department in the corridor.
“Assistant Young, I saw a super funny male
chauvinist ask a question online yesterday. The man actually asked, ‘I invited the girl I like home to cook, but when I asked her to do the dishes, she got angry and left. Is it my fault or is the woman too narrow-minded?’ My God, the world really is large. There are all kinds of outlandish men out there.”
Hadley laughed. “That man is crazy. He invited a woman to his place but made her cook. That’s bad enough, but he asked her to do the dishes too. This kind of person is destined to never find a girlfriend.”
“Right? He even had the nerve to ask the question online! It’s enough that he’s not self-aware, but he had the cheek to accuse the woman of being too narrow-minded.”
“There are much weirder men these few years. It’s best to stay away from people like that if you encounter them.”
“I’m guessing he’s been blocked by that woman.”
At some point, everyone suddenly felt a chill coming from behind them. It was almost summer, but they felt as if it was colder than winter.
Someone called out, “President Lyons.”
Looking back, they saw Shaun’s handsome but dark face.
“President Lyons…” Hadley explained nervously, “ Work hours haven’t started, so we…”
“Hadley Young. ” Shaun’s death stare fell on him.
“Come in.”
Then, Shaun went into the office.
Hadley followed him miserably and closed the door. “President Lyons, I’m sorry. I’ll never chat with others in the corridor again…”
“Assistant Young, the crazy man you mentioned earlier is me.” Shaun took off his jacket and threw it on his leather seat. His eyes were frosty. “ I’m the man who asked the question online. The same guy you said would never find a girlfriend in his life.”
Hadley was petrified, “…”
He had an urge to whack himself to death on the spot. What kind of outrageous words did he say earlier? He could not remember at all.
“President Lyons, I’m sorry. I didn’t know, ” Hadley stammered, “I… I thought it was some poor and ordinary loser. Of course… for a handsome, rich, and dazzling man like you, there are tons of women willing to cook and wash dishes for you. There’s no way you won’t be able to get a girlfriend.”
Shaun snorted coldly. “That goes without saying.”
Hadley’s heart leaped to his chest. He wanted nothing more than to disappear. He could not understand. He was not the only one who had been gossiping. Why was the president only bothering him?
“Then answer this question for me.” Shaun knocked on the desk and said in a deep tone, “
Cate… Why did she get angry and leave? Did I really do something wrong? What should I do now?”
Hadley realized that the person was Ms. Cox. Gee, Ms. Cox was really pitiful. Why did she run? If he were a woman, he would run too.
“President Lyons, with all due respect, at present… you should be at the courting stage, right?” Hadley asked carefully.
Shaun scoffed and glanced at him. “Do I have to court her? You should know better than anyone what she thinks of me. She has liked me for a long time, but I hurt her in the past and made her feel uncomfortable. However, I’m lowering myself for her.”
Hadley laughed dryly. Shaun was a mighty president, so Hadley could not call him out. “ President Lyons, whether the two of you are in love or not, women should be spoiled. How can you call a woman home and ask her to cook for you? Then, you even asked her to do the dishes. You’re looking for a woman, not finding a qualified housekeeper. Women should be doted on. You should be the one cooking and washing the dishes, making her happy. With the way you’re acting, you’ll only make Ms. Cox feel like she’s with you just to be your nanny. Any woman would be uncomfortable.”
“ Sarah isn’t like that. ” Shaun could not help but say.
Hadley was speechless. If Sarah was not like that, then why did he not go to Sarah instead? However, Hadley still pretended to be surprised and said, “ Has Ms. Neeson done the dishes before? It seems that it’s usually Aunty Zara who does the work.”
Shaun was stunned.
It was true. Although Sarah occasionally cooked,
the cleaning up was usually done by Aunty Zara or Yael. There were maids at home to wash the clothes and clean the house.
Hadley sighed. “President Lyons, you should get this straight. Women are to be doted on. Don’t you have a lot of servants and nannies?”
“But I like her cooking,” Shaun said in annoyance.
“Then you can learn to wash the dishes yourself. She’ll cook, and you’ll do the dishes. This is actually a kind of simple happiness for many couples… You can learn from how Young Master Stringer courted her.”
“Why do I need to learn from him?” Shaun sneered disdainfully, “How can Isaac Stringer compare to me?”
From head to toe, there was nothing Isaac had that was comparable to him.
“I misspoke. I’ve spoken too much.” Hadley immediately slapped his own mouth. “Compared to you, Isaac is like the dirt on your shoes.”
Shaun gripped his fountain pen in annoyance. A moment later, he let go of it and said in a cold voice, “Go buy a car full of pink flowers and send them to Hudson Corporation.”
Hadley sweated. The man just said he would not learn from Isaac, but he ate his own words in the blink of an eye.
“Yes.”
Hadley answered respectfully and went out to book flowers for delivery.
He was really pleased to be able to see how Eldest Young Master Lyons and Ms. Cox were progressing. Although the Eldest Young Master Lyons’s hypnosis could not be lifted, it did not prevent him from falling in love with Cate again.
Hudson Corporation.
Cate had just returned to her office after a meeting and suddenly found that it was filled with pink roses. She felt like she had fallen into a sea of roses.
Her mouth twitched as she turned to ask Harvey, “ Who sent these?”
As soon as she spoke, her phone rang. It was from a n unknown number, so she answered it. Shaun’s low and gentle voice sounded. “Do you like the flowers I sent?”
Cate rubbed her forehead and mocked, “Why did you send me so many flowers? Do you want me to cook and wash the dishes for you again?”
“It’s an apology, ” Shaun said in a low voice, “I shouldn’t have asked you to wash the dishes last night, and I shouldn’t have let you do the cooking. ”
