Chapter 26: Free to Eat, Free to Talk
Tess Baker was looking at this quarter’s financial statement when Linda Mark called.
“What’s wrong?” Tess Baker held the phone between her shoulder and her face as she darted through the financial statements making marks.
Costs had been rising for some time now, and she would have to talk to the relevant departments.
“Tess, in front of Bowen Carter in the future, you remember to play fiancé with the senior!” Linda Mark opened her mouth with a big reveal.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
When she finished the story, Tess Baker’s face could no longer be described as ugly.
She was afraid that Linda would get into trouble, so she didn’t say who hit her face, but who knew that Linda would go straight to Bowen Carter!
Now Bowen Carter thinks she’s going to get engaged to the senior, and there’s no telling what she’ll do!
“Hey Tess, do you have a bad signal, why aren’t you talking?” Linda Mark tapped on the phone a few times, mouth still broken, “I just bought the phone, it’s not broken, right …”
“The phone isn’t broken. Baby, don’t talk nonsense in front of Bowen Carter in the future, you’ll get into trouble! I’m still in a bit of a hurry, I’m hanging up now!”
Tess Baker hung up the phone and was in no mood to read the financial statements.
Bowen Carter’s possessiveness was almost perverted. When he didn’t care about her, he didn’t even allow her to associate with other men.
Now …
She rubbed her brow, feeling a terrible headache. Whatever her beef with Bowen Carter, it shouldn’t involve anyone else.
Tess Baker put the financial statement aside and after thinking for a while, she picked up her phone and sent a text message to Bowen Carter-
I want to talk to you about something, are you free at noon?
The text message came back in seconds–
[Free for dinner, not for business.
Tess Baker frowned, she did not want to have too much interaction with Bowen Carter. But in this situation, if she didn’t explain to Bowen Carter clearly, things would definitely spill over to the seniors.
After thinking about it, she sent a new text message…
The first time I saw him, I was able to see him.
After more than half an hour, there was no reply, I don’t know if she didn’t see it, or if it was an indirect refusal.
Tess Baker picked up her phone and looked at the time, it was already 11:30. She hesitated for a moment, but still carried her bag out the door.
The Bowen Carter she remembered was a very stubborn person who would not give up until he got what he wanted. Now that he wants to get back together with her, he should go to the appointment …, right?
When she got a taxi to the Fia Hotel, Tess Baker was greeted by a waitress just as she entered, “Excuse me, are you Miss Baker?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Master Carter is upstairs, please follow me.”
Tess Baker was a little surprised that Bowen Carter was already here.
The waiter led her upstairs, took her to a VIP box and opened the door, “Please come in.”
“Thank you.” Tess Baker pulled her lips slightly and walked in.
Bowen Carter was sitting just to the left as she entered, and he was buried in paperwork when she entered.
“Be right there!” He glanced up at her quickly, signed the paperwork, tossed it all to the ASSISTANT in the back, and then had the waiter bring the menu.
Tess Baker looked at the thick pile of papers with a complicated look, “If you’re busy, you can actually come over later.”
“You used to wait for me, now I’m waiting for you.” Bowen Carter said incomparably natural, smoothly handed the menu into her hand.
The Tess Baker of the past would have been so excited to hear this that she couldn’t sleep, but the Tess Baker of the present would just find it ironic to hear it.
If you don’t cherish it when you should, why do you need to play deep love here after losing it?
Tess Baker looked at the menu and ordered a bunch of things that he liked to eat.
Each time she said the name of a dish, Bowen Carter’s eyes shone a little brighter – it turned out that she had always remembered his taste.
“Bowen Carter,” Tess Baker said after all the waiters had gone down, “I’m not the same person I used to be, and you’re not the same person you used to be. We’ve been at peace with each other for five years, and I hope we can continue to be at peace with each other.”
Not hating him was the biggest concession she could make!
Bowen Carter’s eyes dissipated a little bit, handsome face tinged with frost, “You are anxious to get rid of me, because Dennis Gate?”
“I’ve already told you, I’m just ordinary friends with the senior.” They no longer had any relationship, and she didn’t like his questioning tone.
Bowen Carter sneered and slammed on the table, “Ordinary friends would kiss?!”
The waiters came in with the food just as the words left her mouth.
Tess Baker tightened her lips and waited for the waiters to leave before speaking, “I didn’t kiss with the senior.”
“I saw it with my own eyes!” Bowen Carter stood next to her and looked at her from above, his eyes a little bloodshot, “Tess Baker, do you take me for a fool?
She lied to him because she was afraid he would get back at Dennis Gate?
Is that how she likes Dennis Gate?
“I’ve said what I have to say, and it’s up to you to listen! This is unbelievable!” Tess Baker wanted to have a good meal with him, but he always had the ability to piss her off!
She pulled back her chair, grabbed her bag and headed out.
Bowen Carter stomped after her, yanked her wrist, and squeezed the words out of her teeth, “Do I have your permission to leave?”
“Bowen Carter, will you stop being so bossy?” Tess Baker forced back the sourness in the corners of her eyes, her words faintly nasal, “You want me to divorce you so badly, I’ve already signed the divorce papers, what more do you want?”
He was the one who said divorce, he was also the one who said get back together, should she be his appendage for life?
“You!” Bowen Carter’s eyes were red and he raised his fist high.
Tess Baker closed her eyes in resignation, having already received a slap on the left side of her face, and a fist on the right side, just symmetrical!
Bang!
Bowen Carter smashed his fist on the wall, blood dripped down his bony fingers and fell to the ground, blossoming into a delicate and magnificent blood lotus.
The first thing you can do is to take a look at the wall!
Tess Baker opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the blood, eyelashes blinked a few times. When he looked up, but his face was unchanged, “Can I go now?”
“Miss Baker, I remember you dislike wasting food the most. Now that the food is ordered, there is still quite a lot, you’d better eat here before you go back.” assistant said before Bowen Carter.
Bowen Carter gave her a cool look and sat back down, the air pressure around him was amazingly low.
Tess Baker looked at the dripping blood on the ground, pursed her lips, and finally did not hold back, “Go find a medical kit for your president to bandage it up.”
If another person was injured, she would still say the same thing.
“Okay.” The assistant answered, not much later walked in with a medical kit and squatted in front of Bowen Carter’s body.
Bowen Carter’s face was cold, not cooperating with his bandages at all, only his eyes fell on Tess Baker from time to time, as if he didn’t care.
“Miss Baker, I can’t bandage well, can I trouble you to help the president to bandage?” The assistant knows very well what the president of the family has in mind.
Tess Baker turned her head to look at Bowen Carter and bumped right into him looking at her.
When the two pairs of eyes met, he was as if he was lit by fire, and quickly turned around and pretended to be looking at his hand.
