The servants’ hearts were gaily pleased.
They were good-looking, and surely their baby would be very cute!
Zoe did not know what they were thinking.
She was still thinking about how to mention it to Henry when he came back.
At 6:30, the black Rolls-Royce pulled into the courtyard, and Henry came back.
The servants had already served the dishes the table.
Zoe changed the clothes, obediently sitting in front of the table, waiting for him.
It was the first time that Henry saw her so lovely. He was a little surprised. He glanced at the food and found two dishes that were different from the previous ones.
But he said nothing, pretending not to notice them.
Zoe greeted him with a smile. “You are back! Sit down and eat!”
Henry nodded, took the hot towel from the servant and wiped his hands before sitting down.
The first dish was the mushroom braised bamboo shoots made by Zoe.
These years Natalia had been taking care of herself, so she was good at cooking, but Henry was picky, she was not confident to make him satisfied.
Years of taking care of herself had hone Zoe’s cooking skills, yet she was not sure whether she could please a picky eater like Henry.
The upcoming negotiation would be more hopeless if she failed to woo him with her cooking.
Henry took a piece of bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth.
Zoe looked at him and became nervous when she found him frowned.
“How is it? Is the taste… okay?”
Henry looked at her, “You made it?”
Er…
Zoe did not know whether she should admit it. What if he did not like it?
As she wanted to deny, Mrs. Dottie said with a smile, “Sir, Madam made two dishes especially for you, the dried mushroom braised bamboo shoots and sweet and sour fish!”
Mrs. Dottie sure had a mouth on her.
She had to show an embarrassing smile, “I was just trying it out. Don’t eat it if you don’t like it.”
Then she reached out to move the two dishes away.
But no sooner had she reached out her hand than she was stopped.
Henry looked at her with smiling eyes.
“When did I say I didn’t like it?
Zoe was stunned.
He took a piece of sweet and sour fish in the bowl and had it slowly, as if he was enjoying it.
So why did you frown then?
Mrs. Dottie’s recipes basically avoided the food they didn’t like, so even if Zoe casually picked two of them, it would be fine.
Coincidentally, she and Henry had similar tastes.
They didn’t like spicy food. Zoe preferred sweet and sour food, and Henry didn’t like it or dislike it.
Since he did not reject the food, Zoe was finally relieved.
Henry looked at her with a smile and asked, “Do you need you help?”
Zoe smiled sheepishly, “I want to discuss something with you.”
“Let’s talk after dinner?”
After dinner, Henry went to his study to take a phone call.
Zoe went to the kitchen and cut a plate of fruit, then went up with the fruit plate.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw him sitting behind a computer desk in what looked like a video conference.
Zoe was hesitating about whether to enter
the room or not.
Then Henry looked up and waved at her.
On the screen of his computer showed an office beyond the Atlantic Ocean, where executives from the overseas branch of Mccarthy Properties were reporting to him collectively.
Zoe dared not to disturb him. He walked to the sofa and sat down, and then put the fruit plate on the coffee table.
Having been abroad for three years, Zoe was proficient in English and French, but she still had trouble understanding the complex technical terms in the video conference.
Time passed slowly.
Bored, Zoe sat on the sofa, holding her chin with one hand. She picked up a fork and casually feasted on the fruit.
Behind the desk, Henry looked at her. Henry stared at her exquisitely red lips opening and closing.
His Adam’s apple rolled.
The usually hour-long meeting ended in a tight squeeze of forty minutes.
“You said you have something to discuss with me. What is it?”
Seeing that he was done, Zoe got up in a hurry and said, “As you know, I’m taking over Star Entertainment right? The situation in the company is not good, so I want to discuss with you if I could attach the company under Annie International. You know, to share resources and something else.”
The more Zoe talked, the more abashed she became.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Needless to say, Annie International didn’t have to cooperate with such a small company
as Star Entertainment since it had reached its current scale.
Henry was not short of her measly shares.
However, Zoe really could not think of any other better way. The company was almost in a standstill state. If there were no good resources, the future would not be prosperous.
Most importantly, no matter what happened next, she did not want to stand on the opposite of Annie International.
Therefore, it was better to cooperate with it in advance.
Henry looked at her and chuckled.
“You want my help?”
Zoe squeezed an ingratiating smile and nodded.
“Hmm… It could be done.”
The man sat in his leather chair, fingered the
arms, and casually asked, “How are you going to bribe me?”
Zoe was stunned.
Henry looked at her, with a smile in his dark eyes.
A deep blush crept over her face as she thought of something.
She dropped her eyes slightly and mumbled, “How can I bribe you…”
Smiling, Henry leaned closer to her and lowered his voice. “Mrs. Han, if you really want to bribe me, there are many ways. I am sure you get what I mean”
The men were very close, and the clear smell was on the tip of her nose, with the heavy smell of male hormones.
With the man approaching, a fragrant cold breath lingered around her nose, carrying with it
a heavy scent of testosterone.
She later thought that she must have been blinded by lust to be shamelessly giving him a peck at that moment.
Henry’s pupils dilated.
Without further delay, he reeled her in the moment she pulled back.
Having lost her footing, Zoe fell into his arms. The next second, the back of her head was held down as a passionate kiss ensued.
Henry kissed her fiercely.
It was in his nature to be distant and aloof. Zoe was taken aback, but did not realize what happened.
By the time she returned her senses, his tongue was in her mouth.
The man fiercely attacked her mouth, which was extremely inconsistent with his domineering manner.
It had been a long time.
Henry finally released her.
Zoe was panting. Her face flushed. Her clear eyes were wet, like a poor little beast. Her swollen lips from the kiss sparkled of wet glistening.
Henry stared at her, feeling a lump on his throat. He wanted to kiss her again.
“Mrs. Han, are you seducing me?”
He muttered in a raspy voice.
