Chapter 37: Be my girlfriend
“Oh, but I think I’m fine, President, if there’s nothing else I’ll hang up now?” Elena looked at the phone in disbelief, and wondered where the president had gone wrong, it was strange that there were bosses who didn’t like their employees coming to work.
She wanted to repay him for his kindness yesterday, but she didn’t expect for him to be angry with her for no reason.
Fred Garner took his breakfast to the office and wanted to take it next door, but when he picked it up and found it cold, he put it down again.
This woman is really irritating, I wanted to throw the breakfast away, but thought of her rough line, so I could not resist.
“Bess, heat up this breakfast and give it to Designer Elena.” Fred Garner called his secretary and instructed.
“President, it’s already ten in the morning.” The secretary, Bess, looked at the breakfast and whispered.
Fred Garner was not happy: “You deliver it when you are told to, where is all this nonsense.”
Bess reluctantly delivered the breakfast to Elena’s office.
“Designer Elena, this is the president’s ‘reward’ for you, please enjoy it.”
“Bess, it doesn’t seem to be lunch time yet, does it?” Elena looked at the steaming porridge and eggs on the table and couldn’t help but frown, looking at Bess like this, she wouldn’t dare to eat this breakfast, not to mention that she had eaten in the morning and she wouldn’t be hungry yet.
“This is the president asked me to send it to you, eat or not, you decide for yourself.” Bess, with a stinky face, twisted her bee waist and left.
Elena originally wanted to call the president’s office, but thought of Bess’s words and gave up. The president’s temper was really a bit strange, let’s leave it as it is, no big deal, let’s take it as lunch at noon.
When it was time for lunch, Elena decided early in the morning not to waste the president’s ‘kindness’, but just as she picked up the cooled breakfast and was about to heat it up, the office door was pushed open.
“President, in the future, before you come in, can you knock first.” Seeing Fred Garner, whose face was slowly turning dark, Elena said helplessly.
“You’re going to eat this for lunch.” Fred Garner looked at the breakfast in Elena’s hand and said with a dark face.
“this porridge is not bad, just heat it up.” Elena was a little embarrassed, obviously nothing was wrong, but being stared at by Fred Garner, it was as if she had done something wrong.
“Come on, let’s go have lunch.” Fred Garner said, and went to pull Elena’s hand, Elena smartly backed away.
“President, I still have some designs to look at, noon ……”
“I don’t mind changing the chief if you can’t do your job.” Fred Garner went to get the breakfast Elena was holding as he spoke.
“President, before we go out to lunch, can I ask you a personal question?” Elena took a few steps back, feeling even more retarded, she felt that the president treated her differently, and to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, to avoid unnecessary confusion, she felt the need to make things clearer.
“Say.” Fred Garner hand reached out, took the breakfast from Elena’s hand and threw it straight out.
It was too late for Elena to try to salvage it, and she could only watch as the breakfast fell in a parabolic pattern into the trash can.
“President, it’s shameful to waste, do you know how many people in this world can’t even get enough to eat.” Elena glared at Fred Garner in annoyance.
“Is that what you’re going to say?” Fred Garner easily changed the subject.
“Of course not, I wanted to ask if the president was interested in me?” Elena froze and blushed.
Elena hoped she was overthinking it, she’d rather be embarrassed now and ask today.
“Yes, I’m going to pursue you.” Fred Garner’s dark eyes sparkled and his eyebrows rose.
“Boom,” Elena felt like someone dropped an atomic bomb on her brain, did she hear wrong, what did the president say about ‘yes’? And he said he was going to pursue her? Could she be aggravated by a cold, why was she so dizzy about.
“Is it so hard to accept that I’m pursuing you?” Looking at Elena’s expression, Fred Garner sighed lightly in his heart, she now looks very different from the bold girl who proposed to him five years ago.
“No, President, I think I need to tell you that I’m married.” Elena slapped her face, she had come back to find her baby’s father, not to fall in love.
“I know, but that doesn’t stop me from pursuing you.” Fred Garner had a bigger grin on his face, like he was waiting to see Elena get defeated.
“President, this joke is not funny, please get out, I’m not having lunch with you.” Elena couldn’t control her burning face, but it wasn’t just shyness anymore, it was more anger, what kind of man was this, that he would say something like that.
“Elena, if one is really not interested in a man, a smart woman should know how to deflate his attempts, not provoke his desire to conquer.”
As he spoke Fred Garner leaned forward and had dropped a light feathery kiss on her cheek, then clasped her hand as she returned to her senses, “there is no need for you to think about the rest, you just have to accept it.”
“Let go of me, what kind of ridiculous words are you saying? What do you mean just accept it, I’ve said it, I’m married, I have a husband.” Elena tried to pull back her hand in anger, but she didn’t expect Fred Garner to smile slightly, that smile flashed Elena’s eyes, before she could regain her senses, Fred Garner suddenly leaned over and hooked her chin with his long fingers, without waiting for her to resist, his lips were already gently printed on it. The kiss was a familiar one.
The kiss was familiar, as if it tasted like a memory, Elena was a little confused.
Fred Garner hooked her waist and tenderly rubbed his lips on hers, gradually no longer satisfied with the lip contact, the tip of his tongue invaded her lips, what was originally a gentle and loving rubbing, slowly turned into a rapid plundering, Elena’s reasoning collapsed under the plundering of his lips and tongue.
Fred Garner looked into her dazed eyes and let her go without a trace, his thin lips pressed against hers, and he coaxed her with a mute voice, “Elena, be my girlfriend.”
“Hmm. What?”
Elena, who was still in a state of ecstasy, did not notice what he was saying and responded vaguely, and only after she had done so did she slowly realize that the look of ecstasy on her face was suddenly swept away and she pushed Fred Garner away, saying with hatred, “Fred Garner, you …… “The actual fact is that you can’t even use beauty on her, she said she was married, did he take her as a joke?
Fred Garner was in a great mood to hook up a smile, his eyes slipped around her body, meaning, “I don’t mind if you return the favor.”
“……” Elena was choked half speechless, she could not be tempted by his beauty, although her husband has the same name as the big president in front of her, although he is not as handsome as the one in front of her, but she, Elena, is never a person who sees things differently and cannot betray her marriage.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Come along, my dear, if you don’t mind taking yourself to lunch, I ……”
“Shameless, Fred Garner, don’t think I have to put up with you because you’re the president, if there’s a next time, I……” Elena me half a day and didn’t think of any way to hit him back.
“As I said, I don’t mind if you return the favor.” The smile in Fred Garner’s eyes intensified and his eyes shone with a sparkle.
“Fred Garner, I’ll say it again, I’m married and ……” Elena wanted to say that she was already the mother of two children, but looking at Fred Garner’s expression, she decided to give up, this kind of person, reasoning with him It’s no use, he is a playboy, just keep your distance from him in the future.
“Elena, are you going to stand here and discuss this with me? Are you going to be hungry to discuss whether you want to be my girlfriend or not?” Seeing Elena so angry, Fred Garner mood was very good, he really did not expect, after being separated from her for five years, Elena still remembered that she is a married woman, since this, this ‘girlfriend’ he needed to be sure.
“Okay, Fred Garner, let’s make it clear today, we can only have a superior-subordinate relationship between us, there will never be a second relationship.” Elena glared angrily at Fred Garner.
Fred Garner simply treated her like a cat sharpening its claws and didn’t care at all, instead he wrapped his arm around her waist and went into the elevator before getting into the car.
It was only when she got outside the restaurant that Elena realized she had lost her mind in her anger, for the first time, in all her years, no one had ever made her lose it so much.
After Elena realized her disorder, she glared coldly at Fred Garner after drinking several glasses of water.
“Elena, as touching as you look when you’re angry, it’s not good for your health to be angry, and besides, is it that bad to be my girlfriend.” Fred Garner looked at Elena taking a big gulp of water and laughed.
“President, if you mention the word ‘girlfriend’ again, don’t blame me for not being polite.” Elena wanted to throw water in his face, she didn’t think her good temper and recuperation would be gone after meeting such a ‘rogue’ president.
Fred Garner doesn’t explain, his meal is the second serious meal they have had together as a couple, the first would be the breakfast five years ago when they had their marriage license, looking at Elena, the difference is really big, it’s hard to associate her with the girl who was a little shy and a little nervous five years ago.
“Elena, your husband must treat you very well.” Fred Garner said intentionally to lighten the mood.
“Of course.” Elena was stunned, she did not expect Fred Garner suddenly change the topic, and look at him, and did not mean anything else, face slightly better.
“Can you tell me how he courted you? Or how he proposed?” Fred Garner asked, pretending to be casual as he cut into his steak.
“President, this is my personal matter, I don’t believe it has anything to do with work.” Elena’s small face, which had just relaxed, would tense up again.
“OK, let’s eat.” Fred Garner smiled, from Elena’s expression it was not difficult to judge that she should not have had a boyfriend in these years, thinking like this made his heart more pleasant.
“President, you have caused me distress, I think we should not have any other relationship between this room other than the boss and employee, I hope the president can understand, this meal, my treat, thank you for taking care of me yesterday.” Elena did not eat, put the money on the table, got up and left.
