After Loraine left, Naomi immediately called Culver.
At that time, Culver was attending a group meeting of the company. In the meeting room, all employees from various departments were also present.
Moreover, someone was proposing that every new employee of the company should sign a solo contract.
The requirement of the contract was that the new employees who did not have boyfriends were not allowed to get into a relationship within the first two years of joining the company, and employees with boyfriends were not allowed to get pregnant within the same period of time!
If the requirement was not met, the company was allowed to dismiss them in accordance with the agreement.
When everyone heard of the proposal, they had many complaints, but Culver was right in front of them. Therefore, no one dared to say anything even if they felt angry.
Each and every one of them had terrible expressions on their faces.
At that moment, a phone rang.
The face of a senior female executive in her forties, who was proposing the agreement, suddenly sank.
âWho is it? Who didnât turn off their phones during such a critical meeting?â
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads to check. Everyone prayed that the phone call was not from their devices.
The female executive was even more terrifying than Culver. Not only did she act in a strict manner, but she was also extremely stubborn.
She was even more terrifying than any disciplinary teacher, especially when it came to relationships. Everyone suspected that she must have suffered some kind trauma from a past relationship, therefore she hated love a lot.
The nickname âCruellaâ had been given to her.
If they were to be caught by Cruella, they would be in deep trouble.
After a round of people checking their phones, the phone was still ringing. âWho is it? Get up!â Cruella raised her voice.
The next second, she saw Culver silently rise from his seat.
âSorry, itâs me.â
Cruellaâs face suddenly turned pale, as if she had swallowed a fly. She said anxiously, âMr. Olsen, youâ¦â
âThereâs no need to apologize. This is my fault. Carry on.â
Culver looked at the number and rejected the call, then turned off his phone.
As the discussion went on, a young girl, who seemed to be quite young, was anxious as she saw that the proposal was about to be passed.
âDoes everyone in the company have to abide by this rule?â
âYes!â Cruella nodded before saying, âOf course! Iâll set an example myself!â
The crowd rolled their eyes in their hearts. They all thought to themselves, âEven if you wanted to violate the rules, you would need to find someone that wants to be with you in the first place!â
âWhat about the president?â the girl boldly asked. Since she was young, she must feel that love was an important aspect of life.
How many years were left in oneâs life?
As soon as she came up with that question, other people with their personal opinions immediately followed.
âThatâs right! What about the president?â
Cruella froze and said, âThe president isnât an employee!â
âThis isnât fair! As long as weâre in the Olsen Group, we are considered as a member of the company. That was what you said last time!â
Culver stood up.
She said, âYouâre right, Iâm also a member of the company. Therefore, Iâm the same as all of you, and I shall abide by the rules. Within two years, I wonât get married and have children! If I canât do it, Iâll apologize to everyone in front of the whole company, and Iâll take out my salary for the whole year to buy insurance for everyone!â
Everyone knew that a successful person like Culver would be ruthless towards himself. However, did he need to go so far?
Since he had already said so, who else would dare to object?
That was how the matter came to an end.
After Culver hung up on Naomiâs call, she called back again, but the phone was turned off before she could get through.
At that moment, she sat there, repeatedly looking at her phone and despising Culver in her heart. She seriously suspected that Culver was not only an egomaniac, but was also a freak.
He must have known what she was thinking about, therefore he did not answer the phone.
While Naomi was cursing Culver in her heart, she did not even notice that Culverâs phone was turned on again.
By the time she realized that, she expressed her contempt for Culver directly through the connected call.
âCulver, you big freak!â
âHuh?â A cold voice sounded from the other end of the phone. Naomiâs hand trembled and she almost dropped her phone to the ground.
âDidnât you turn off your phone?â
Culver did not say a word. After a few seconds of silence, she heard Culverâs voice.
After a few seconds of silence, she heard Culverâs voice, âHeh⦠Looks like youâre here to look for trouble?â
âNo, no, Iâm not!â Naomi did not forget her purpose of calling him.
She tried to appease him, âIâm looking for you for a serious matter, not for trouble.â She was seeking his approval, therefore she naturally needed to please him.
âI donât want to listen to you!â Culver said coldly.
Naomi rolled her eyes in her heart, but she tried to persuade him.
âMr. Olsen, youâre handsome and suave. Why are you making things difficult for me? Did you really think that I called you to look for trouble?â
The corners of Culverâs lips curled up slightly as he said, âGo on!â
âOf course! Youâre charismatic, gracefulâ¦â
The corners of Culverâs lips curled into a smile. He did not expect this woman to praise him.
âYouâre also dashing, sophisticatedâ¦â
However, the more he listened to her, the more awkward the atmosphere became.
âShut up!â
Culver huffed, âThatâs enough. Stop with the nonsense! Whatâs your point?â
Only then did Naomi say with a smile, âItâs like this. What did you think of the risotto that you ate this morning?â
Culver raised his eyebrows. She was obviously setting up a trap for him!
He was an experienced negotiator. He would not be tricked by her so easily!
He replied vaguely, âIt was okay!â
Naomi was rendered speechless.
It was just okay? Who was the one who had eaten it so desperately in the morning? As expected, all men were trash!
âThen, I wonât make it again tonight!â Naomi said in a bad mood. She could not trick him, therefore she was no longer in the mood.
Culver was even more certain that something was going on. The main reason was that although Naomi was not stupid, sometimes, she was too naive.
Almost all bad-tempered girls behaved the same way she did. They were simple-minded, but harbored no bad intentions.
He asked her directly, âWhatâs the matter?â
Culver did not want to beat around the bush anymore.
When Naomi heard his question, she answered truthfully, âDidnât you say before that we should keep our promises?â
âThatâs right!â
âIt wasnât stated in our agreement that I needed to cook for you, but Iâm cooking for you now. Shouldnât there be some kind of compensation? â
In order to succeed, Naomi did not forget to flatter him again.
Culver knew what was happening so he asked, âYou want to negotiate with me?â
âNo, Iâm not! Iâm just asking for a reward I deserve! â
âOh? What kind of reward do you want?â
She finally got to the point!
Naomi said, âBased on our previous agreement, didnât you agree that you would allow me to postpone the deadline of the payment? Now that I think about it, even if it got delayed, I would still be busy taking care of you every day, so I wonât have enough money to pay you back. Why donât you give me a little free time every day, and let me go to work!â
Culver was stunned as he replied, âThatâs it?â
He thought that she would ask him to cancel the debt!
Truth be told, that money was not a big sum for him. If he was in a good mood one day, it was not impossible to get rid of the debt. However, he was not that much of a saint that he would get rid of anyoneâs debt!
âYes, thatâs it!â Naomi said, âWhat did you think I would say?â
She was such a silly and adorable woman. Culver smirked and said, âI thought you would ask me to terminate your debt!â
Naomi was stunned for a few seconds, Culver thought that she would fall into a rage and blame him for insulting her personality.
In the end, Naomi cried out in anguish, âThatâs right! Why didnât I think of that?â
Culver was dumbfounded. He took back the words he had just said.
