Can't Get Away With You

Chapter 13 It's Him

Lois looked at Joey's angry eyes. She remembered that it seemed that because the gentle man helped her up just now, she didn't kneel down, so did it make him unhappy?

Thinking of this, Lois felt sad, but she didn't dare to say anything. She turned around and looked at the gentle man beside her. He looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had met him before. Maybe they had cooperated with each other before.

Kent quietly observed Lois's reaction. What made him anxious and scared was the strange look in Lois's eyes. She was not familiar with him at all, but only strange and grateful.

Kent frowned. He didn't come to his senses until he saw the displeasure on Joey's face.

Kent nodded gently, took out the business card he had already prepared and handed it to Joey. "Mr. Joey, I'm the general manager of HN Group Overseas. This is my business card."

Joey took the business card, but he looked a little serious. In the past, the chairman of HN Group would come to negotiate cooperation in person, but this time, the general manager was sent. He was afraid that the man in front of him was not only experienced here.

He once heard that when HN Group was suppressed, the general manager called Kent pulled back the orders and cooperation letters that had been taken away during that time, but did not promise any unfair conditions, which was enough to show how strong the gentle man in front of him was!

Joey thought a lot and nodded slightly, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Kent. I've heard a lot about you."

Lois knew about HN Group. Every time HN Group came to communicate, Joey would be drunk for several days in a row, and sometimes he would even stay out all night for several days.

The two men came and went with fake courtesy. From their words, Lois knew that Kent came here on behalf of the chairman of HN Group. HN Group and the Gu Consortium had cooperated with each

other for more than a few years, and they had always been willing and happy to see it.

But the difference was that, compared with the previous chairman of HN Group and his cooperative group, this year only the general manager of HN Group, Kent, and his assistant discussed cooperation. The number of employees decreased greatly, and the quality was not at the same level. She could not help but guess whether it was because of more internal strife or ability.

Seeing that Kent was sincere, Joey had to let go of the grudge in his heart and talk about the future cooperation with him. At the same time, he ignored the existence of Lois.

Without Joey's cold eyes and embarrassment, Lois felt much better, but her heart was heavier.

She couldn't predict what Joey would do to her next. There were too many things that she couldn't bear, such as giving up the custody of Maggie, and having nowhere to ask for a divorce

The two men were chatting happily, but was interrupted by the Secretary beside Joey. The secretary took the phone and glanced at Joey in embarrassment. He whispered to the other end of the phone, "postpone it for a while..."

Kent smiled apologetically and gently saved Joey, "Mr. Joey is busy now. It seems that I am a little anxious..."

The corners of Joey's mouth twitched. He only said that the company had been busy recently. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Kent nodded and stretched out his left hand. "Then I won't disturb you anymore. I'm looking forward to our cooperation."

Joey wanted to ask him to go to the company for a walk, but was declined by Kent. "I have some personal affairs to deal with, so I won't make trouble for Mr. Joey for the time being."

Joey had no choice but to give up. He had made an oral agreement with Kent that he would go out for a meal the next time when they cooperated with each other. Then, his assistant urged him to go to Gu Consortium.

Lois watched Joey receding figure, but she saw clearly that his last glance at her was a warning mixed with coldness.

What was he warning her? Did he warn her not to mention what happened today to Kent?

He warned her not to tell others that he had a mistress outside?

He was afraid that her nagging would delay the development of Gu Consortium and postpone the cooperation with HN Group.

Even if he didn't warn her, she wouldn't say anything more.

Those things were not only an obstacle to him, but also a shameful and disgusting scar to her.

However, her plan failed last night. Not only did she not get back Maggie, but she also completely annoyed Joey again.

Biting her lower lip, Lois felt depressed. The five fingers with distinct joints suddenly flashed through her mind. She looked up at the man who was talking happily with Joey.

Kent still smiled gently, but there was something similar to tenderness in his brown eyes.

The more Lois thought of the man in front of her, the more kind he looked. She looked at the handsome man in confusion. Without saying anything, Kent stood there and let her look at him.

Her eyes were full of inquiry and doubts. Kent couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his lips were raised a little higher.

Realizing her impoliteness, Lois looked away and said gratefully, "thank you for your tissue, sir..."

"Lois." Kent interrupted her.

Now Lois was sure that the man in front of her knew her!

"Don't you recognize me? How forgetful a person is! " Kent took off his gold frame glasses and said with a little regret.

Lois looked at the man in front of her, but her mind was in a mess. She didn't know him, but she felt familiar, or did she just forget the person she knew?

"I still remember that you were confessed at a basketball match when you were a freshman."

A low voice rang in her ear. She was shocked to realize that the two were too close. When she was about to step back, she was hugged by Kent.

"Do you still remember the place you went when you were at Grade Two?"

Kent's voice trembled. He had liked her from the very beginning, but he had lost the opportunity because of his young tenderness. Both his father and brother thought that he could achieve great success in a steady manner, but he knew that he only took the opportunity to make a move, while love did not have the opportunity. Only he seized the opportunity.

"When you joined the club, you didn't even know the basic knowledge."

When Lois was about to struggle, the first person in her life that made her feel ashamed of herself appeared in her mind.

Kent Wu!

"My father's surname is Wu, and my mother's surname is Kent, so my name is Kent Wu."

The simple but nerd's words made Lois introduce herself with a sneer, "Lois Shen."

She had never lost to anyone since she was a child, except that senior, who was inferior to him in both calligraphy and piano

"Mr. President..."Said Lois in a trembling voice.

"It's been a long time since we last met. You look much more dejected," Kent said slowly

Shen Lois rubbed her nose and shook her head in tears, "people will change."

Kent forced a smile and said, "didn't you say that you would be optimistic about life?"

Fortunately, Lois lowered her head and didn't notice his embarrassment.

Joey looked coldly at the two people who had just hugged each other in the parking lot. The corners of his eyes were filled with endless anger. His fingers were clenched into fists, and he wished he could go downstairs and teach the shameless couple a lesson right away!

She began to seduce men when he was away? He was blind to believe that woman had endured his coldness for Maggie for so many years!

The Secretary quietly walked up to Joey and handed the document to him. "President Zhao sent something here... "

"Clap!"

"Get out!" Joey slapped the folder away.

The Secretary rushed out of the office in panic, not even putting away the documents scattered on the ground.
