Boss,I'm Not Your Stand-in Gilrfriend

Chapter 51 Negotiations

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I was just at work and didn't expect to be involved in this kind of thing."

Candice said, "He is also an innocent person who has got involved in the rich family grudges..."

I was a little confused. Rich family grudges? Why had Candice said that? Wasn't this a business

dispute? Wasn't this supposed to be the evil means of a rival? I was about to ask cautiously when

Goran coughed softly and said, "Go back to your rooms and rest for now. I will inform you if there is

anything."

I nodded and went upstairs alone. I opened Gavin's door, but then I thought about it, and I decided to

let go. He must need to be alone now. I hadn't been with him for a long time, so I didn't know much

about him. I would better not bother him.

After that, I went back to my room, where there was not even my luggage, only a simple traveling bag. I

was just lying down on the bed and about to rest a little when the telephone rang. I did not look to see

who it was but answered it directly. It was a noisy little girl. She said, "Darcey! I heard you went back to

Aurora?"

I was still struggling to figure out who that was. I pulled out my phone and saw that it was my classmate

from university, Mischa. She and I both went to school in Denver, but we were both from Aurora. We

hadn't meet until we went to our university, and we were both members of the hometown association of

Aurora.

I said weakly, "Yes, I have something to do back here. What's up?"

Mischa had a good relationship with me, and she was outgoing. She couldn’t hide anything if she heard

that, then she said. "Have you recently followed Roger's news?"

I said, "News? What news? Since he left me, he has even been on the news page?" I made an unkind

joke.

Misha said, "What, what news page! I heard that since he divorced with you, he was doing poorly

economically, not to mention that any relatives who had something to do with him hadn't ended well. He

was just almost begging on the streets!"

I hummed a few times in a daze. Mischa said something else and hung up the phone. I've heard about

Roger, but it was actually cannot be counted as news for me. But I've never heard anything about his

relatives. It must had been Gavin. He did it to revenge for me.

Roger and Olivia did not come to a good end, and I was very happy. But as more and more people

were involved in the matter, I gradually felt a little uneasy.

It was just that I have no right to say anything at the moment. I didn't want to have anything to do with

Roger in my life. How his family was going to be depended on themselves.

It was evening and I slept in a daze. When I woke up, someone was lying beside me. I was startled and

struggled to sit up. But immediately, I heard a voice. It was Gavin.

He said, "You're awake?"

Feeling relieved, I leaned into his arms and asked. "What time is it? Did you have dinner?"

Gavin rubbed his chin against my forehead, rubbed it gently, and said."Not yet. I'm not hungry."

"Still no clue?"

"No."

"What should we do? We can't just let it go like this. It's not a small amount of money."

Gavin let go of me, sat up hesitatingly, and said. "You are right. So this matter has still to be

investigated. But now, the project cannot be delayed. I want to talk to the people over there first, just

take another sum of money and settle it."

I sat up with him and leaned on his back, saying, "Would you like me to talk to them?"

No sooner had I said this than Gavin immediately declined. "No, it's too dangerous. Regardless of our

relationship, I cannot even let Candice do it. I have to think about the safety of our employees. Besides,

you are my girlfriend. I can not let you go."

"Well... But I think it will be easier for me to solve it in person." I put my hand on Gavin's shoulder. I was

unintentional. But when Gavin caught my hand, I felt something strange.

Gavin covered my hand on his chest and said, "What's wrong? If you cannot persuade me so you are

using other means?"

I snorted and took my hand out. "What? I'm serious. If I get involved, maybe I can even bargain a price

for you."

"Really?" Gavin laughed and raised his head with a wicked humor.

I frowned and shook off his hand and said, "Of course it's true. Do I look like someone who is not self-

knowledged?"

Gavin said, "Not likely, but I'm afraid that you'll come up with something else in order to succeed."

I squinted at him and said, "What means? Please teach me, Mr. Stone. I can also take a shortcut."

Gavin hurried over, bit my ear gently, and said. "No, this remedy can only be used on me." Hot air blew

into my ear, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling of emptiness rose in my heart.

I knew it wasn't the right time or place, but Gavin trapped my hand behind his back, and then kissed

me.

The next morning, Gavin brought me to a dinner party. He was worried that it would be dangerous if I

went alone, but with him, it was fine.

In addition to us, the workers representative Mr. Simpson and Edward, Gavin’s brother, also came from

Denver. Moreover, my uncle Kit came.

As soon as I entered the room, I met my uncle. Both of us were a little embarrassed. Fortunately, no Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

one noticed us. We didn't say hello but just pretended that we didn't know each other.

After everyone sat down, we chatted for a while and then got to the point. Before I could listen to a few

words, my mom called me. I told it to Gavin and went out. Then he nodded and listened to Mr. Simpson

talking.

My mom called me and we met somewhere nearby. When I arrived, my dad was there too, I

asked. "Why aren't you coming in, Dad, Mom?"

My mom said, "Your uncle is inside. It has nothing to do with us. It's not appropriate for us to go there."

My dad said, "Darcey, you haven't told me what's going on. When did you start working in the Stone

company?"

I mumbled a few words and said that I was recruited. Then I remembered something and asked. "What

did my uncle say about this? Would he like to make a concession?"

My mother glared at me and said. "You, he is your uncle anyway. How can you make him give way

immediately?"

I said, "Then I am also an employee of the Stone company. Uncle can't give me the money. If I fight for

benefits for the Stone's, I'll get a bonus too!"
