"Why did you come out? I'll take you to the company."
"I can't," she said, shaking her head. "I work over there. It's not good to be seen."
"Then I'll call William."
He took out his phone and called William Walton.
A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "What are you doing?"
"William, let's have lunch together."
"I'm not free."
"William, don't hang up. It's not that I'm inviting you, it's that Laura is asking you. Laura said she misses you."
Laura on the side, patted him, wanting to snatch the phone away.
But Benjamin Walton went to the side to prevent her from touching his phone.
This brat, he was looking for a beating.
William Walton who was on the other side of the phone remained silent for a good ten seconds, then said: "Let her call me herself."
After he finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
Benjamin Walton looked at her warmly: "Laura, quick, quick, William wants you to call him."
"Why?"
"William is just like that, very pretentious. Hurry up."
Laura took out her phone and called William Walton.
William Walton stared at the caller ID. He curled his lips and the expression on his face became a lot more relaxed.
The few people who were being reprimanded across the desk all accompanied the CEO to listen to the ringtone.
He only proudly picked up the phone when the ringtone was about to end.
No one spoke and she tensed up, "About that ... William Walton, have you eaten? "
"Nope."
"Do you want to eat together?"
William Walton remained silent.
He was intentionally asking her to call him, to play with her, right?
"Don't you have time?"
"Since you have kindly invited me, I will reluctantly accept your invitation."
This man was truly shameless.
"Then I'll get Benjamin to tell you the address."
After hanging up, William Walton looked at the three people opposite him and his tone became a bit more relaxed.
"Did you all remember what I just said?"
"Remember, remember."
"If you remember, why don't you hurry up and leave? Waiting for me to treat you to lunch? "
The three of them hurriedly said, "Mr. Walton, we'll be leaving now."
After they left, William Walton had a smile on his face as he went downstairs and drove away.
When he arrived at the dining hall, Benjamin Walton was sitting opposite to him. The two were chatting about something unknown, but they gouged out Benjamin Walton with their warm gazes.
William Walton walked over, Benjamin Walton immediately stood up and helped his brother pull the chair away.
"William, when did you just arrive? Laura is already hungry from waiting."
She looked at William Walton who did not even glance at her. "What do you want to eat?"
William Walton was about to say something when Benjamin Walton clapped his hands together, "Ah, I forgot, I still have some matters to attend to today. William, Laura, I won't be accompanying you two for lunch today.
After he finished speaking, he stood up and winked at her, then quickly left.
Laura was stunned.
This brat had left her behind just like that?
The waiter brought the menu. William Walton opened it and asked: "What do you want to eat?"
"I don't mind. You order first."
"Hmm, other people's logic is better than yours, why should I listen to you?"
"If it's according to what you said, then you know everything. Why did you still come out?"
He retracted the hand that was slapping her back, crossed his legs, and said in a clear voice, "I just said it, it's because I was tricked by you."
She blushed. This man always did this.
She didn't know whether it was true or false.
Was teasing her so fun?
"Now, tell me, let me hear what you're going to say for that brat."
"Are you sure you don't want him to stay in the country to study at university?"
"Right."
"Why?"
"I want him to study business management. And this major can be taught better abroad."
"However, I feel that true talents do not necessarily have to come back from abroad. Some people's excellence is ingrained in their bones."
"His future is not something an ordinary person can compare to. If one day he stands at a high position and he is a leader who graduated from an ordinary university, then his subordinates are all elites. Have you thought about his position before?
In school, he can be willful, but in the workplace, this is not something that he can do as he pleases. I don't want my younger brother to be criticized behind everyone's back, saying that he relied on his background to rise to the top. "
His words instantly caused her to be speechless.
After all, it made perfect sense.
At that moment, a waiter came to serve the dishes.
After the waiter left, she picked up her forks, lowered her head and began to eat with a depressed expression.
William Walton looked at her. "What else do you want to say?"
She looked at him. "I can't be responsible for his future. So that I don't have the right oppugn someone who cares about him."
Hearing her words, William Walton smiled.
This woman was always so clear.
This was what he admired the most.
