Chapter 322
Anson frowned suddenly and asked seriously, "Upper East Sleglund?"
"Yes!" Victor nodded.
Anson took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Didn't we bid for the place before? We felt like we could make money so we gave up in the end. What is the Clement family thinking of buying land over there?"
Victor shook his head slightly and his eyes were cold. "I don't know. I heard it from Buddy last night."
"Err..." Anson's brows furrowed.
"Could it be that Mrs. Clement insisted on buying it?" Anson knew that Aisling had been working very hard the past few years.
"I don't know. That's why I asked you to check." Victor spoke as he returned to his office chair. He turned on the computer and prepared for today's regular meeting.
"Alas!" Anson threw the phone on the sofa before he leaned on the sofa lazily. He looked at Victor's charming face. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"The Clement family runs quite a lot of industries. They probably have to use up at least half of their assets to buy a piece of land in the Upper East Sleglund."
Victor shook his head slightly and said in an indifferent tone, "They have to use up all of their assets."
"Ah..." Anson's eyes widened slightly.
"What if their assessment is wrong? Wouldn't they go bankrupt then?" Anson's voice grew louder and louder.
"Don't jinx it!" Victor glared at him.
Anson quickly smacked his mouth several times.
"That's right, I take back my words! My bad for saying such ominous things. However, the price of the land in Upper East Sleglund is really expensive."
Victor did not speak and his eyes were focused on the computer.
When Anson saw that, he knew that the boring Victor didn't want to talk to him anymore. He simply shut up and went back to his office to prepare for the morning meeting!
Eden felt very busy because she had been attending meetings the whole morning.
She went to the company canteen with Amelia during lunchtime.
As they were going downstairs, Victor, Anson and
Lucian also headed downstairs to eat.
Anson glanced at Eden's back and then at Victor. Victor had really distanced himself from Eden for the sake of her safety.
He smiled suddenly and asked, "Victor, shall we go to the company canteen for lunch or..."
"Canteen!" Victor interrupted him with a poker face.
His long legs had already stepped into the elevator. The elevator reflected his noble figure and he had a thoughtful expression on his handsome face.
Anson and Lucian quickly glanced at each other.
"Hehe..." Anson let out a few hollow laughs.
"Victor, I remember the last time that you went to the cafeteria to eat was half a year ago." Eden was indeed charming!
The whole canteen was going to burst into an uproar when they saw Victor!
That was great. Anson would have to mingle in the canteen too.
He had been living a luxurious life with Victor.
He hadn't been to the canteen for a long time!
On the contrary, the gentle and cold Lucian, who was standing beside him, would eat at the canteen almost every day!
If Anson had a girlfriend like Abigail, he would definitely work hard to earn money and let her live a luxurious life.
Unfortunately, Abigail did not reply to his message.
Abigail had not responded to his messages the past few days.
On second thoughts, Abigail shouldn't have rejected him judging from her character.
Was he too sensitive? He somehow felt that Abigail was unhappy the past few days!
"Anson, we're here. Are you having fantasies about love? Or are you missing the big stupid bear on your sofa?" Lucian spoke in a calm voice.
"Uh...?"
Anson frowned and said, "Lucian, do you know the meaning behind that big bear? That's my partner. It's a special gift from Victor. I feel like I have a companion when he sleeps beside me at night." It would be great if the person lying next to him was Abigail.
As he spoke, he stepped out of the elevator and headed to the entrance of the cafeteria.
Victor, Anson and Lucian walked very fast and they were soon behind Eden and Amelia.
Eden felt a gust of wind coming from the side the moment she crossed the doorway.
She looked sideways and saw that Haven was standing not far away.
Amber from the planning department was walking towards her.
Amber had a big glass of mango juice in her hand.
Eden's heart trembled when the familiar scent enveloped her nostrils.
Amber was getting closer and closer to her. She leaned forward suddenly after taking a few steps and the big cup of mango juice flew towards Eden.
Eden's throat tightened and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
She was terrified when she watched the yellow juice splashed towards her. She was most terrified to go through the allergy process!
"Ah..." Amber shouted suddenly and fell to the ground.
Eden's red lips parted slightly and her face had already turned pale due to fear.
Haven was standing not far away and a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes when she saw that!
Eden wanted to dodge the mango juice. She was about to move her feet when someone embraced her.
"Splash..."
All the mango juice was splashed on Victor's head and back. The strong mango scent lingered between him and Eden.
The noisy canteen became quiet instantly when the people saw what had happened. The spacious hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Victor and Eden. Some people watched with their mouths agape.
Amber who was lying on the ground, was one of them
Haven, who was not far away, also had the same expression!
Eden turned around slowly and her frightened gaze suddenly plunged into Victor's worried eyes.
Eden looked up subconsciously. She saw the yellow juice dripping down from Victor’s head to his toes. Some of the juice was dripping in front of her.
Eden's heart was quivering. She was afraid of allergy her whole life. Her body trembled involuntarily at the moment.
Victor reacted quickly. He let go of her and stepped aside!
Anson's mouth was wide open at the moment!
What kind of dramatic plot was this? It would definitely cause a stir.
It seemed that he was really a jinx.
That was the first time Victor was so wretched.
In front of so many people still!
"Eden, are you okay?" Victor felt distressed when he looked at Eden's pale face.
Eden shook her head quickly. She took a few steps back involuntarily.
Her body was still trembling slightly at a closer look.
"Thank you!" Her voice trembled a little.
She hated mango juice very much. She still had lingering fears when she smelled the scent of mangoes.
Her life was fine before Myra knew that she was allergic to mangoes.
However, ever since Myra found out about this, she would think of ways to splash mango juice on her whenever she was unhappy.
Moreover, Eden was always caught off guard and could do nothing about it!
Haven squinted her eyes and looked at Victor who was drenched. He could actually do that for Eden!
