"Oh, there's nothing to do at home after work, so I come to the company." Eric said in a natural tone and smiled bitterly: "others may not know, but you should know that I still lack a lot."
"Yes, but you are also the youngest, smartest and most hardworking president I've ever met. No wonder Mr. Taylor chooses you." Wendy chuckled and the special charm of a sexy woman came to him.
And what she said about President Taylor was naturally Zack.
Wendy's words made Eric feel more bitter. Why did he work so hard?
"It's getting late. Mr. Smith, you haven't had dinner yet, right? May I invite you to dinner?" Wendy smiled and said, "I'm sorry for the last time."
Wendy's mind was delicate. She could see that Eric was distracted about something, but the smart one didn't ask much.
"What's the last time? I've forgotten." Eric shook his head, threw away the upset in his heart, looked at Wendy again and smiled: "this invitation should be raised by me. May I invite you to dinner? It's just time to ask President Davis about some company matters."
Wendy said softly, "of course."
In the community.
"Mom, what's the matter? Eric... Why are all his things outside?" Thea came home after working overtime, looked at her mother in surprise and frowned slightly.
"Don't you understand? Of course, I drove Eric away. I will never allow you to marry such a loser all your life. Since you are soft-hearted, I will be the bad guy!" Helen walked out of the kitchen and said firmly.
"Mom!"
Thea yelled. Although she really thought about divorce, and more than once…
"Mom, you may not know that Eric just borrowed 5 million from a friend to fill the vacancy in my company yesterday. How can we do this?" Thea said anxiously. She was not ungrateful; how would she face Eric in the future?
"5 million is a big deal? Besides, he borrowed it, and he didn't earn it himself!" Helen was also angry and raised her voice: "Daughter, think about it carefully. How many ridicules have you suffered since you married Eric? We have provided food and clothing for him for three years. Now he just borrowed some money, which means he has a little conscience. It's just that we are even with him. After you earn money, just give it back to him. Now I just want you to leave him!"
"Mom!" Thea bit her lips.
"It's nothing. I will cook tonight." Helen thought about something and said with a smile.
Thea looked strangely. It seemed that after Eric came to the house, her mother had never entered the kitchen at home.
"By the way, Bruce called me and said that as long as you get married, he would give us $10 million as a bride price. I have agreed. If you feel sorry, just give back 5 million to the loser." Helen said again: "it would be your grandmother's birthday in two days. Bruce said he prepared a great gift for grandma and planned to propose that day."
"Mom! What did you agree? How can you make decisions for me like this?" Thea was stunned and shouted unwillingly.
Bruce was nice. Compared with Eric, he also had more skills. For so many years, he was not only infatuated with herself, but the Valentino that day also moved her.
But she still didn't want to agree, and what bothered her most was that her mother not only drove Eric away, but even promised her marriage with Bruce.
"Knock…"
Helen was about to speak when the door was knocked.
Thea was stunned. She thought Eric was back. She quickly opened the door and was stunned.
The first thing that came into her view was a handful of 99 bright red roses. Of course, the person who sent the flowers would not be Eric, but Bruce.
Today, Bruce was very well dressed. He was wearing a suit and tie. He looked very formal and energetic. With a smile on his face, he looked at Thea’s exquisite and beautiful face, who was a little surprised. He was full of affection in his eyes: "Thea, here you are."
"You... Bruce, how do you..." Thea looked complicated, and her delicate body couldn't help but step backward. She suddenly looked at the direction of the kitchen and suddenly understood.
It must have been mother's idea that she invited Bruce.
"Ha. it must be Bruce." Helen also heard the sound of the door. She came out of the kitchen with a smile. She looked at Bruce, who stood at the door in a suit. Her eyes were full of joy.
Compared with Eric, who was poor and shabby, Bruce in front of her was so decent. Helen was more and more happy: "don't stand outside, come in!"
Thea frowned and turned into the room without receiving the flowers from Bruce.
"Aunt, this is a gift for you." Bruce picked up a beautifully wrapped gift box and said with a smile.
"Oh, why do you bring me a gift? Just come!" Helen pretended to be angry but took the gift with a smile. The gift looked very valuable at first sight.
The gifts were really not cheap, but what Helen didn't know was that Bruce borrowed all the money! Just this morning, he was informed by the that he was relieved of his status as CEO of the company.
It was without any reason!
Bruce didn't know what had happened, let alone who he had offended. Now he had nothing.
But he didn't intend to give up on Thea. At this time, Helen called in person and asked about the 10 million bride price. He simply pushed the things to happen.
He thought that as long as he got Thea's body, even if Helen and Thea knew later, it was too late.
When he just entered the door, he also clearly saw a pile of messy stuff at the door. Eric has been driven out of the house!
Helen's resolute attitude made him more and more excited.
Helen happily winked at him while taking Bruce in, telling him not to mind Thea's attitude.
Thea was polite. She just stood at the door and didn't speak. In fact, she agreed.
Bruce smiled to show understanding.
How was that Thea's agree? In fact, she had no way at all. She was very filial to her mother. No matter what her mother did, she never yelled at her mother.
Helen was so happy that she cooked four dishes and one soup. The dinner was a feast.
The three had dinner. Helen and Bruce talked. Most of what they said was about the company. At present, few people knew about Bruce's resignation. Naturally, he boasted himself a lot.
Thea seldom interrupted, but ate silently. Because there was an outsider, she didn't change clothes. She wore the company's professional dress, silk stockings on her legs, and a pair of pink slippers on her small feet. Her beautiful face fascinated Bruce.
Helen looked at Bruce's eyes, and that infatuation also made her happy. She couldn't help thinking of Eric's cowardly appearance of lowering his head and not talking when eating at home. Looking at Bruce, sitting with his daughter, it could be called a perfect couple.
This was like a couple! The more Helen thought, the happier she was.
After dinner, Thea and Helen cleaned up the dishes. Bruce sat on the sofa and glanced at Thea from time to time. He was more and more excited.
Soon, Thea was rushed to the sofa by her mother and asked her to accompany Bruce.
But Thea didn't say a word, and things have developed to the present. Facing Bruce, Thea suddenly felt uncomfortable. She didn't know what to say at all.
"I brought something for your father. I'll go home first." at the door of the room, Helen changed her slippers, and smiled at Bruce and his daughter on the sofa: "it's getting late, Bruce, if you have nothing to do, just stay here tonight."
"What?" Thea suddenly looked up, and she was shocked.
"Auntie, I… Isn't it appropriate?" Bruce also stood up, seemed surprised, but he was already happy.
"What inappropriate? I agree with your marriage. You will soon get married. Don't you say the sooner the better?" Helen said with a smile: "you're not a child. You're busy at work during the day and don't have time. You stay here tonight and have a good chat."
Bruce turned his head and looked at Thea, who was still in shock. He noticed that Helen winked at him and quickly nodded.
The door was closed, and there were only Bruce and Thea in the house.
Bruce couldn't help looking at Thea and said, "I'll take a shower first. I'm really tired at work today, haha."
Thea looked at him. Bruce seemed to be in his own home and entered the bathroom.
Soon, there was a sound of water…
Thea was confused.
