Hearing the name, Joseph’s face immediately turned upset.
Dora was fired by him, so why didn’t that bastard Eric mention any of this at that time?
Now that he had bought the company, yet the Jones Group had cancelled for cooperation. Then hadn’t he just wasted his 500 million?
When Joseph was in rage, his assistant had walked in in haste at this moment. His face looked a little anxious and he said, “Director White, this is bad. The shareholders are here, asking you to give them an explanation.”
Joseph White looked solemn, “Take them to the meeting room to wait for me.”
“Yes.”
After his assistance received order, he quickly retreated and went out.
……
Jones Group, President’s Office.
Bill was overjoyed showing off to his older brother, “Hahaha. I’m guessing that White guy’s face must already turn green by now. Arno, I did a good job, right?”
Arno flipped through the document carelessly and lightly replied, “Not bad.”
“What do you mean not bad? Shouldn’t you be complimenting me a lot and let me take a three-month leave too?” Bill asked in shocked.
Arno glanced to his way coldly, “You have only done it halfway. You’re still far away from your holiday.”
With excitement, Bill said, “It’s not far. Not at all! According to my investigation, several projects which are developed by White Group have almost used up the company’s liquid fund. This time, Joseph had thrown away 500 million to buy that useless company. I’m afraid he will be in an extremely difficult situation. Next, their company will definite be in a crises due to poor capital turnover. This is enough.”
Seeing his little brother’s optimism, Arno couldn’t help but shook his head and took the chance to chide him, “That’s why I often say that you do things without thinking about the future. Joseph White is definitely not that good, but he isn’t a good-for-nothing. Do you really think he’s just that little capability? If so, then he won’t sit in the position at a young age. Don’t forget. He still has the Bush family’s support behind him. If there’s a problem with the White Group, the Bush will definitely stand upright and help.
If it’s just this and nothing more, I’m afraid they will put their idea on Dora.”
Bill instantly understood.
Jones Group cancelled a contract with E.C Company was originally not because Dora was the person in charge. According to the shamelessness of the White guy, it was very likely for him to go and cause trouble for his future sis-in-law.
In other words, this matter wasn’t over yet. It had just begun.
After figuring out the whole thing, the doubts in Bill’s mind had reduced. But for some reason, there was a feeling that he was being cheated.
They had clearly talked that after the matter was resolved, he would be given his holiday. Why did he look at the situation and he felt that it was endless?
Seriously. The three-month vacation was a lie!
His brother was a big unscrupulous businessman!
He was the kind of person who didn’t want his little brother anymore after married a wife!
Bill suddenly was full of resentment.
Arno acted as if he didn’t see anything. The corners of his mouth raised happily and sent a message to Dora, “Andy goes grocery shopping with the servant today, saying he wants to invite you to a dinner. I’ll pick you up later.”
At this time, Dora was working on an important document in the company. When she suddenly received the message, she couldn’t help but smiled and replied, “Okay. But I think I need to go back and change my clothes first before I go there.”
When she poured coffee in the pantry today, she had accidentally splashed it all over her body. Although she had cleaned up, there was still a lot of stain. If she left it that way, it was too unpleasant.
Arno responded, “No problem. I’ll see you tonight.”
Dora smiled and didn’t reply. She continued engrossing herself in her works.
Although it had only been two days in Jinse Creative Co., she was satisfied with the working atmosphere here and liking it very much too.
Her colleagues were extremely friendly and they took great care of her who was a newcomer.
So Dora cherished it.
In a blink of an eye, a day had passed.
After getting off work in the evening, Dora was tidying up her things and went straight back to her apartment.
She originally planned to go to Andy after she changed her clothes. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the elevator, she spotted Joseph leaning against front of her house’s entrance.
His expression looked a little anxious. A high-end suit jacket casually draped on his arm, his tie hung around his neck aslant, and two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. There was a cigarette in his and he would take a smoke once in a while.
His usual refined and cultured self was completely gone.
Dora didn’t expect too that she would see him here. In an instant, her face turned cold and slowly walked over.
She had initially intended to pretend ignoring him, but Joseph threw down the cigarette butt and extinguished it with his foot. He asked, “Where have you been? Why are you just coming back now? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?”
Dora felt absurd and glared at him, “Am I close with you?”
Joseph was block for a moment and his chest felt painful for a bit. He softened his tone and said, “Dora… Are you still angry because of that time?”
Dora thought his words sound ridiculous.
This person appeared here for no reason, and absurdly said these words. What did he want exactly?
“Joseph White, if I remember correctly, last time I already said let’s treat each other as strangers if we meet. Fine that you’ve found out my address, then you even come here. What do you want?”
Dora’s whole-self radiated iciness with invisible spikes ruthlessly aimed at Joseph.
For the man before her, she had nothing else but disgust.
Joseph looked at her with a complicated expression.
The reason he had put aside his pride today was naturally because of the cooperation with Jones Group.
At that time, he fired her without knowing the situation. Now, he could only stop this happening by looking for her back.
He thought it was enough for him to come in person with sincerity, but Dora didn’t want to see him.
Joseph raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unhappy, but on the surface he had to pretend to be gentle and said, “Dora, do you really hate me so much? I know, you’re still hold grudges about what happened back then. But, we’re still childhood friends. We can’t be lovers, but we’re still can be friends. I don’t want us to be completely fallen out. You’ve disappeared all these years, and I’ve someone to find you. Just found you a couple days ago, I’m pretty happy too. But I just never thought, that you would do such thing to Freya…
At that time, I was just really mad so I treated you that way. So, I hope you don’t take it to your heart.”
His tone was sincere, and added with that harmless face, it was really convincing.
If she was the past Dora Bush, she would definitely believe him without hesitation.
But the present Dora Bush only felt sicker.
She thought to herself that this man’s head had hit a door, then he came here to say such disgusting words!
Couldn’t be lovers, but could still be friends?
Unless Dora was widowed, or he was her ex-boyfriend in this life, he could only be her enemy.
“President White, Young master White, Mr. White! I’m truly not close with you. And I don’t want to hear what you’re talking about too. So, please leave now. I still have things to do, and don’t delay my time here.”
After she said that, Dora took out her key, opened her door and wanted to enter.
But the door was pressed by Joseph.
