Second Marriage

Chapter 377 You Are Importuning Me

Kennedy was not a man to trifle with.

But Annie was his aunt.

Besides, she meant a lot to him. Kennedy felt helpless.

“You can wait here. You don’t have works to deal with today. You go to meet her in the afternoon.”

Kennedy felt unhappy and asked in a cold voice, “Why?”

“What?” Annie was stunned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Why do you keep importuning me?”

Kennedy raised his eyes to stare at Annie. He had clear eyes. Annie could tell his mood from his eyes.

He was unhappy and didn’t want to follow her arrangement.

Annie paused for a moment. She didn’t expect that Kennedy would say these words to her.

When she came to her senses, she sneered.

“Now you’ve grown up. How could you say that I am importuning you? It seems that I can’t control you

anymore.”

After that, Annie had mixed feelings. She looked depressed.

Kennedy became morose. He was not in a good mood these days. Annie was his only relative.

Thinking of this, Kennedy closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He did not reply to her.

“All right, you can think that I’m importuning you. Anyway, you must go to meet her today.”

He didn’t speak nor did resist her.

Annie knew that he accepted it. She sighed with relief.

Even if he said that she was importunate, she wouldn’t mind it at all.

“Yes. We must add the soup to the menu.”

The chef hired by the Nelson Group designed the menu of nutritious meals for a week. Yanis brought

the menu to Alice.

Alice nodded after reading it. She just changed a few details of the menu and then handed it to Yanis.

“We’ll provide different soups for every week. Alice, how do you think about the price?

“The chef is experienced. You can ask him for the advice.”

“Okay.” Yanis nodded and then started to leave.

At this time, Alice gathered up her papers and stopped Yanis before she went out. She said, “When

you go downstairs, tell the designers on the third floor to come to the meeting here.”

Hearing her words, Yanis looked back at her with confusion.

“Meeting?”

Alice raised her eyebrow and asked, “Is there any problem?”

“No.”

Yanis shrugged and then went out of the office. She felt it was strange for her to inform others to have

a meeting. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Both of them were free when they didn’t come to this company. Now they had to manage groups and

deal with business affairs. She was very busy these days.

‘Just forget it. I must work hard.’ Yanis thought.

Only a few people came to the meeting room reluctantly. In fact, they came here just because Alice

was their boss.

It was only a few people went into the meeting room.

When Alice came in, she found there were only a few people in the meeting room. But she didn’t say

anything when she saw the scene. She just walked to the table. Yanis followed her with the papers in

her hand.

Yanis glanced at them and found that there were only Noah, Ada, Hugo, and Chloe.

Other team members didn’t come here.

Besides, these people in the meeting room belonged to different sections.

Noah smiled meaningfully and he kept looking at Alice.

Alice was all dressed up today. She was wearing a shirt with blue and white strips and a slinky skirt.

Her long, fine hair was swept back in a ponytail. She looked tidy and smart.

Alice was an attractive woman with a pretty face and a slim figure.

She was charming whether her makeup was light or not.

Ada quietly sat in her seat with a gentle smile.

On the other side of the table, it was Hugo. This solitary and aloof young man sat with a few buttons of

his shirts unbuttoned. He looked unruly. Chloe sat beside him and stared at him eagerly.

But Hugo just ignored her eyes.

Chloe knew that Hugo didn’t like others to stay with him, so she could only sit at a short distance. As

long as he didn’t drive her away, Chloe was happy to sit near him.

“Where are other members? I’ve informed you of the meeting. Why didn’t they come here?” Yanis

asked.

Noah raised his eyebrow and did not reply to her.

Ada explained, “They probably have works to do.”

“Works? What is it?”

Ada smiled and said, “I don’t know it. You can go downstairs to find them.”

Hearing her words, Yanis intended to go there.

However, she was stopped by Alice. “Yanis, sit down.”

Yanis looked back at Alice in disbelief. She said, “But... they didn’t come over. I want to find them to

come to the meeting.”

“No.” Alice looked cold. She said calmly, “I’ve said that nobody would have a great work if they were

not willing to stay here. Since they didn’t want to come here, we start the meeting now,”

Then she turned to look at the papers in Yanis’ hand. She said, “Give the papers out now.”

Although Yanis was angry, she still followed Alice’s words and reluctantly handed the papers to them.

Alice pulled open her chair and sat down. She was well prepared for the meeting. She inserted the

USB into the computer, and then said, “You can read the papers in your hand first.”

Ada just quietly looked at the papers. Noah still sat frivolously. Hugo turned over the file. His actions

looked like a robot. Chloe snorted when she saw the file. She said, “Hugo, these papers are useless.

The company has just been set up. There are no customers to place orders. Why do we come to this

meeting?”

Hugo didn’t listen to her words. He just scanned every line of the papers.

Noah didn’t touch the papers. Alice didn’t pay attention to his action. She just presented what she

wanted to express. Noah suddenly became curious about her.

She looked like a pushover.

But no one could influence her emotion easily. At the same time, she would feed someone who dared

to insult her with comebacks.

Noah kept focusing on her. She suddenly raised her head and looked at him with cold eyes. She

asked, “Do you have any problem?”

When Noah heard her question, he smiled and replied, “No. I just wonder why we have a meeting now.

We don’t have any customers.”
