"Regarding Lyn's birthday...” Yvonne stopped talking all of a sudden halfway through her speech. She seemed to have some kind of worry.
In fact, she wanted to ask him whether he wanted to g o to Lynette's birthday party with her. But it seemed rather impractical after she thought about it.
Not only was it his employee’s birthday party, his identity as her husband would be exposed if he attended the birthday party with her. She never forgot his warning before. He did not want others to know about his identity.
She decided against it. She then made up her mind to attend the party alone. 2
"What about her birthday party?” Henry frowned and asked.
"Nothing." Yvonne averted her gaze and recovered herself. She shook her head and smiled, "By the way, M r. Lancaster, did you plan to knock on the door since you were standing outside my office just now?"
Henry replied that it was true. He then handed a document to her. "This is the annual inventory document. Please sort it out and return it to me.”
Yvonne soon became serious as it concerned their work. "Okay. When did you want it?”
"Today before you clock out of work," Henry replied.
Then, he turned around to return to his office.
Joe had been waiting for him for a long time. He soon opened up the day's schedule when he saw Henry entering the office. He then started to report that day's schedule to Henry.
Henry listened to him as he pulled his chair out and took his seat. "What did you say? You said that Elliot wants to meet with me. Is that right?"
Joe closed the schedule and replied, "Yes. Mr. Taylor would like to meet you this afternoon at two o’clock."
Henry drummed his fingers on the table. "What did he want to meet me for?"
"I'm not quite sure at the moment, but I think it’s related to the business deal we have with them. I remembered that it was Miss Frey and Miss Conrad's surgery the last time you met with him for the business deal. So you didn't get to discuss it properly with him." Joe pushed his glasses and made a rough analysis.
Henry raised his chin slightly. "Alright. Give him a reply, saying that I've agreed to meet with him. We'll b e meeting at Grand Earl Hotel. I'll treat him to a meal there as compensation for not having a proper discussion with him previously."
"Alright," Joe nodded. Then he took out his phone immediately.
A few minutes later, he hung up the phone with a strange look.
Henry narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Lancaster..." Joe was hesitant as he was unsure whether he should tell Henry the truth.
Henry was slightly impatient now. "Speak now!"
Joe coughed once. He arranged his thoughts. "Mr. Taylor promised to meet up with you for a meal. But h e requested for Miss Frey's presence there."
"Yvonne?" Henry's facial expression darkened.
Joe nodded. "Yes! That's right."
"Did he tell you the reason behind it?" Henry's voice was cold.
Joe lowered his head slightly, and he did not dare to meet his gaze. "He didn't tell me that. He just said that he wishes to meet Miss Frey later on."
Henry pursed his thin lips coldly and remained quiet. His entire being was immersed in extreme coldness.
Joe did not even dare to take deeper breaths. He stood before the working desk, saying nothing. It seemed like he was invisible.
After a short while, Henry sneered coldly all of a sudden. "Since he wants to meet Yvonne so badly, then I'll grant his wish!" "Mr. Lancaster, do you really plan to bring Miss Frey along?" Joe looked at him in extreme shock.
It was obvious what kind of thoughts Elliot had regarding Yvonne. That was why he wanted Yvonne there.
But what kind of man could bear to see another man thinking about his own wife under such circumstances? i
But Mr. Lancaster...
At that moment, Joe did not know what Henry's thoughts were.
Henry did not heed Joe’s question. His facial expression worsened as he clenched his fists tightly." You may leave now."
"Alright," Joe responded and turned around to leave.
Before he left, Henry stopped him all of a sudden." Wait!"
