Chapter 141
The moment Joanna Haynes heard that, her rage hit the roof!
“Bruce Everett, what is your problem?”
“Heh, you’re the one who called to ask me out, not the other way round!”
“With this attitude, I don’t think there’s even a need for us to meet!” With that, Bruce hung up on Joanna.
He was confident.
He was very confident that Joanna would call him again.
“Hello, hello…” Joanna said a few times in exasperation. However, all she could hear was a beep signaling that the line was busy.
Beep, beep, beep!
Bruce’s phone vibrated again.
After Bruce had hung up, Joanna was so angry that her face turned purple. She immediately dialed his number again.
Seeing that Joanna had called him again, Bruce pursed his lips and smiled.
He knew that she would call again.
Beep, beep, beep!
His phone kept vibrating but he purposely
hose not to pick up her call.
He wanted to keep
her in
suspense
Soon after…
A familiar tone came
from the other end of the line. “Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
Joanna brushed away the stray hair on her forehead before sending a text to Bruce.
“Answer the phone right now, I have something to ask you!”
Bruce looked at the text from Joanna and a hint of mockery appeared on his handsome face.
He could tell that she was anxious!
As long as she was anxious, she would start panicking. When that happens, it would be too easy for him to deal with her.
Beep, beep, beep!
Joanna’s third call came quickly!
After his phone vibrated for a while, Bruce slowly picked up the call just as the call was about to end.
“Hello! Speak!”
Joanna took a deep breath and tried hous
best to suppress her anger as she asked, “Bruce Everett, what exactly do you want?”
“What is that supposed to mean? What exactly do you want?”
“Where are you now? I need to see you!” Joanna’s tone sounded cold.
Bruce chuckled and replied mockingly with
“Dolb
to see you just because you need to see me?”
“Who do you think you are that I have to listen to you?”
“Alright fine, we can talk over the phone!”
“What’s going on with the Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group? Don’t you think that what you did is despicable?”
Bruce snorted before saying, “I told you, I’m not interested in talking about work!”
“If you want to talk about work, I’m hanging up!”
When Joanna heard this, she was so angry that pain shot through her heart. Her hand that was holding the phone was trembling!
“Bruce Everett, can you not be like
“Then what do you
want me to do? Hmm” Bruce’s nasal voice was very heavy and he sounded amorous.
“I need to meet you!”
“Give me a reason why I should meet you!”
“I just need to meet you, there is no other reason!”
Bruce smiled playfully as he answered, “Perhaps I can consider meeting you if you change the word ‘need’ to ‘want”!”
Joanna exhaled and suppressed her anger. “… I want to see you!”
“How much do you want it? Hmm?” Bruce’s tone carried a hint of teasing.
His teasing was extremely infuriating.
Joanna could no longer suppress her anger as she scolded, “Are you crazy?”
“Yes, what a clever girl! You even know that I’m crazy!”
Joanna’s patience has completely worn out. “Are you going to meet me or not? If not, then forget it!”
“Is this the attitude of a person wanting to meet another?”
“Who knows, I might agree to meet you if you asked me in a nicer and gentler tone.”
Joanna closed her eyes and calmed down for a few seconds. She tried to make her voice as gentle as possible. “Mr. Everett, I want to see you. Is that
okay?”
On the other end of the phone, Bruce’s lips curled into a smile.
However, his tone was abnormally cold and devoid of any emotion. “Come to my office at three in the afternoon.”
“Can we go somewhere else?” Joanna asked as she didn’t really want to go to his office.
She wanted to meet him in a public place.
If they met alone, being the vile bas ta rd that he is, he would definitely “force” her again.
“No, if you want to meet me, you’ll have to come to my office!”
“I’ll meet you from 3 pm to 3.30 pm. I only have half an hour for you. If you don’t come, you won’t even get half an hour!”
