Chapter 480 She Might Not Be Able to Save Him
The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously as he gave her a call, but unfortunately Olivia didn’t answer this time. He replied immediately. ‘I was in a meeting just now so my phone was turned off. How are you? Are you comfortable there? If you are too tired, you don’t have to do it. I’ll support you!’
After sending out the message, he saw North, who was sitting on the sofa in low spirits, and smiled. “I know who you inherited your narcissism from!”
North lifted his eyes and glanced at Eugene before he lazily said, “Of course it’s from my mommy. It’s definitely not from you.”
Eugene laughed. “What’s the matter? Are you bored?”
North held his cheeks with his hands. “You guys kept talking but I couldn’t understand a word; it felt like thousands of bees were buzzing in my ears. If you have a meeting in the future, please don’t bring me along.”
Eugene smiled and said, “How can I do that? In the future when Daddy gets old, you’ll have to manage this company!”
The two of them were still talking when there was a knock at the door. “Come in!” Eugene called out.
The door of the office was opened and Samantha walked in. She was dressed professionally and she had a smile playing at the corners of her lips. Her tone formal, she said, “President, the contract we negotiated yesterday has been edited. Please take a look. If there’s no problem, we can sign the contract later tonight.” As she was speaking, she put the document down on the table.
Eugene glanced at it and then signed the document. “You performed well yesterday. Keep it up! Being the chief secretary is not far off.”
Samantha smiled. “Okay, President Nolan.” After speaking, she glanced at the hourglass on the desk. “President Nolan, do you like this hourglass? I heard that the hourglass has a relaxing effect and the fragrance in it can also soothe our nerves, so I bought it. I gave it a try and it felt pretty good, so I left one here for you. If you don’t like it, I’ll take it away.”
Eugene glanced at it again curiously. “Leave it be!”
Samantha continued, “It’s noon. Where are you going to eat, President Nolan? Would you like me to order food for you? I know a good restaurant and they serve food that children like. Why don’t you go there and try it?”
Eugene asked, “Where?”
“South City Road. It’s not very far from us; about ten minutes by car.”
Eugene turned to look at North. “Do you want to go there, North?”
North lowered his head. “No!”
Eugene nodded and then said to Samantha, “Then forget it!”
Samantha maintained her composure as she smiled and said, “Alright. I’ll go down first.” She then turned around to leave.
From beginning to end, North didn’t raise his head. He only looked up and glanced at the door after Samantha left. His tiny face was a little pale and there was a slight uncertainty in his eyes.
Eugene, on the other hand, didn’t notice North’s strange behaviour. Standing up, he asked, “North, how about we go eat hotpot?”
North nodded. “Okay.”
…
Meanwhile, Brian finally returned to the island and went directly to the basement of the Blue Sky Tower.
“Mr. Mccarthy.” The bodyguard was also surprised to see him as he had left in such a threatening manner and didn’t come back for three days. Everyone thought that perhaps something had happened.
Brian replied calmly, “Go and bring Isaac to me.”
The bodyguard grunted and dragged a wounded Isaac over. After he was thrown on the ground, he just lay there quietly, not daring to move. In fact, he had not been well at all for the past few days; he had been in panic all day long.
At first, Brian left in a fit of rage without letting him go. He was afraid that Brian would come over and torture him again. Afterward, Brian didn’t visit him for three days so he started to fear that he would keep him locked up like this forever. If he had to stay in this place for the rest of his life, it would be the same as being locked up in prison!
Lara only cared about the outcome of the matter. She never cared about the process. If he was really locked here, she really might not be able to save him.
