Chapter 466
“What else do you need?” Bruce asked impatiently.
Zachary smiled awkwardly and said with some embarrassment, “There are some financial issues in my company. I want your company’s financial director to help me verify the financial statements.”
Bruce frowned.
“Oh, don’t worry! It won’t take long, just one day. Your company’s financial director is a top elite in the industry. I feel more at case having him verify the statements.”
“I wouldn’t feel at ease if someone else verified them!”
Bruce became even more annoyed.
But since they were good friends, he reluctantly agreed to this small favor. “Fine! I’ll talk to the financial director.”
“Then it’s settled. Thanks.”
“Yeah, that’s it.” Bruce finished speaking and ended the call abruptly.
“Whose call was it?” Joanna, who had finished washing up, asked curiously.
Lately, she had been inexplicably worried about Bruce, especially considering the aftermath of the investigations made by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
“It’s no one important, just Zachary calling!”
“Oh…” Joanna’s eyes darkened, and she didn’t pursue the matter further.
Bruce lifted the blanket, sat up straight, and said, “I’m going to the company to organize the upcoming work. I won’t go to the hospital today. Let Lilia know, and I’ll visit her tomorrow.”
“Yeah, I got it!”
Bruce stretched lazily and got up to freshen up.
Ten minutes later…
Bruce put on a well–ironed shirt and a neatly tailored suit, ready to head out.
“Baby, I’m leaving!”
“Go!” Joanna replied, disapproving of his teasing.
Bruce leaned over and kissed Joanna on the lips. “Baby, tell me you love me!”
“Here you go again. Can’t you stop bothering me?”
“I want to hear it! And remember, we’re still bound by our contract. If I ask you to say it, you have to say it,” Bruce said with a smirk as he affectionately held her waist.
Joanna had no choice but to take a deep breath and respond casually, “Fine, I love you, okay?”
Bruce chuckled and said with loving voice, “Baby, I love you too!”
Upon heard this, Joanna couldn’t help but feel goosebumps all over her body.
This damn guy could be so cheesy, it was almost unbearable.
Unfortunately, she had no other option but to endure it.
After Bruce left, Joanna rolled her eyes in annoyance. “I really hate this.”
It was all just a play, but she couldn’t help but get caught up in the drama.
Sometimes, that is just how people are!
When you get used to something, you really get used to it. When a man says “I love you” every day, even if he doesn’t mean it, those words will gradually become ingrained into your subconsciousness.
At the Everett Group, as soon as Bruce’s car arrived at the company and he stepped out of the car. Out of nowhere, Jennie materialized.
“Bruce!”
Bruce turned his head and saw Jennie.
Jennie must have been waiting in the underground parking lot for a long time. When she saw his car, she suddenly jumped
out.
Jennie, what are you doing here?”

“I waited here specifically for you!” Jennie pouted, looking alluring.
Bruce’s heart tightened. “You waited for me? Is there something important?”
“Can’t I come to see you if there’s nothing important?”
Bruce furrowed his brows, feeling a hint of annoyance rising within him.
He had already chosen Joanna and naturally had no interest in other women!
But Jennie kept clinging to him like this, which really annoyed him. Moreover, she was his good friend’s younger sister.
“What’s the matter? If there’s nothing. I’ll go to the company first!” Bruce said as he walked towards the elevator.
Jennie hurriedly followed, jogging to catch up. “Hey, Bruce, I have something important to discuss with you!”
