Chapter 13: Plan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When she heard Anna’s words, Laurie’s face clouded over.

Initially, she thought that she and Jose could live in peace and that it would be fine if Jose made her a servant. However, she did not expect this man to be so despicable. In order to please his current girlfriend, he would push all the blame on her.

“Have wicked thoughts?” No joy or anger was discernible in Laurie’s voice.

“What’s wrong? You were honestly thinking about doing something?” Anna withdrew her hand from Jose’s hand and looked at Laurie with her arms crossed.

“I’m Jose’s legitimate girlfriend. Shouldn’t you check yourself in the mirror first if you are thinking of being the third party?”

Anna’s words were really unpleasant, but Laurie suddenly laughed.

Laurie was the third party?

“If someone already had a legitimate girlfriend, he shouldn’t have a mistress, right?” Laurie’s eyes looked back and forth between Anna and Jose.

Anna turned red at Laurie’s words. She glared at Jose furiously. “Look at her. Is this how you manage the company?”

Anna knew she was in the wrong and didn’t want to argue with Laurie in the office, but she didn’t want to see Jose sitting idly, not helping her.

“To think that I begged Dad to let you be the department manager. Is this all you are capable of?” Her questioning tone made Jose feel somewhat awkward.

Jose glared at Laurie and was about to say something when he heard a knock on the door.

Now that he finally had an excuse to exit gracefully, Jose naturally wouldn’t let it go.

He cleared his throat. “Please come in.”

Beebo walked in with a pile of documents. He also felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

He was worried that Laurie would be bullied, so he deliberately brought the documents in to help Laurie out.

“Manager, this is the department employee file you asked for.”

When he saw Beebo, Jose felt a sense of superiority.

So what if Beebo was an influential figure in the university? Didn’t he still have to make a living under him now?

“Put it down.” Jose remained sitting on the sofa and did not get up. “All of you can leave. Don’t come into the manager’s office without my permission next time.”

Laurie wanted to continue arguing, but Beebo discreetly pulled the corner of her shirt. Only then did she leave the office with Beebo.

As she watched the two of them walking out, Anna was a little upset. “Don’t tell me you still have feelings for her? Why are you so protective of her?”

Jose quickly pulled Anna into his arms and pacified her, “How can that be? You’re my greatest love. What happened today was just an accident.”

When he recalled what Anna said just now, Jose became serious again. “Did you allow me to become a manager here because you knew that she works here too?”

As she could tell that he was a little angry, Anna pouted and said, “Isn’t it all because I’m still worried about you? Isn’t it all because I love you?”

“Gosh! You…” Jose shook his head helplessly and gently tapped Anna’s nose. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. You’re the only one in my heart.”

“Really?” Anna left his embrace and said, “Then prove it to me.”

Jose suddenly felt a little nervous. “How am I supposed to prove it?”

It wasn’t that he had no feelings for Laurie, but between money and love, he chose the former.

“There’s a banquet tonight. It’s a banquet held to celebrate the establishment of the Wansen Group’s branch company. Come along with me.”

Upon hearing Anna mention the Wansen Group, Jose’s eyes lit up.

“Of course, no problem! Darling, why did you only tell me such an important thing now?” Jose knew that the Wansen Group had been investing in movies and television dramas. If he could establish working relations with them, would he still have to worry about not being able to establish a foothold in the company?

“Are you familiar with Wansen’s management staff?” Jose asked in a probing manner.

Naturally, Jose had heard that Wansen’s vice president had also come to Ping City. However, he did not have any connections with him to start collaborations.

Anna looked a little troubled. “I guess you can say I am familiar with him, but…”

“But what?”

“The vice president of Wansen, Bob, is somewhat lecherous,” Anna had an awkward expression on her face.

When he saw her expression, Jose thought that Bob had some improper thoughts about Anna.

However, what he didn’t know was that Anna had indeed tried to seduce Bob, but Bob was totally not interested in a woman like her.

Jose quickly comforted her, “I will never work with this kind of people. Darling, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can bully you.”

Upon hearing his words, Anna displayed a sly expression.

“But there’s one good thing about Bob. As long as the beauty is to his liking, it’s not difficult to sign a long-term partnership, let alone a mere collaboration.”

Jose gave her an incredulous look. “You mean?”

At this time, he already understood what Anna wanted to do.

If he had to give Laurie to someone else, he was genuinely very reluctant.

“Not willing? Can’t bear to part with her?” Anna’s tone became more and more unpleasant when she saw his ever-changing expression.

As he looked at the displeased Anna in front of him and thought about his future development, Jose finally gritted his teeth.

“There’s nothing to be reluctant about. Tell me your plan.”
