Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Julian shifted his gaze from Evan to me, looking deep into my eyes. There was a hint of grievance, as if accusing and questioning me. As if I’d swindled him, abandoned him, and moved on to Evan.

I was speechless. I stared back calmly, like looking at a child.

Finally, Julian turned back to Evan.“What Mr. Crowe said... is what I mean.” His voice was slightly strained.

Evan’s eyes held amusement.“What did Mr. Crowe say? I’m forgetful. Mr. Shaw, please repeat it.”

Julian:...His fists clenched. He wouldn’t beg.

Julian stood to leave. Caffrey quickly pulled him back, gesturing for him to calm down.

Su Weili intervened.“CEO Jones, the project is fine. The Chairman just needs you to agree. Mr. Crowe and Mr. Shaw are here sincerely asking for your help.”

“Sincere?” Evan questioned, looking at Julian, who was being restrained by Caffrey. He shook his head.“I don’t see it.” Julian’s temples throbbed. Caffrey pulled him out of the private room before he could lose it.

In the room, Yuan Xinjiang realized Evan was toying with Julian, likely because of me. He was happy. He wasn’t afraid of a difficult man; he was afraid of an impenetrable one. Beautiful women weren’t rare; if Evan liked playing with women, it was simple. He had plenty of beautiful options.“Mr. Shaw is so impetuous,” Yuan Xinjiang said, secretly signaling his secretary.“CEO Jones’s tea is empty; refill it.”

The secretary, flipping her hair, refilled the tea.

Evan raised a hand.“No need. We’re here to eat.”

Yuan Xinjiang was disappointed. He hadn’t gotten through.“Right, let’s eat.”

We started eating. I smiled inwardly: was Yuan Xinjiang trying to bribe Evan with his secretary? His methods were crude and disgusting. He didn’t know the CEO wasn’t interested in women. Thinking of Evan choosing younger men, I chuckled.

“Secretary Wen, what’s so funny?” A deep, meaningful voice, cool like a principal catching a misbehaving student. I quickly stopped smiling.“Nothing.”

Evan sighed, placing a piece of braised pork on my plate.“Eat more meat; it’s good for the brain.”

Me:...He knew what I was thinking?!

As I stared at Evan, Julian and Caffrey returned. Caffrey had tried to calm Julian down, but seeing me looking at Evan, Julian was enraged again. He stood between us, blocking our view. His eyes were like he wanted to eat me alive. Just as I thought he’d lose it, he spun around, facing Evan.

Me:...!! Was he going to fight?! Everyone held their breath.

Evan leaned back gracefully.“Mr. Shaw, what’s wrong now?”
