Chapter 199
Christopher had planned to leave for Dellmoor in two days.
Suddenly, a rather smug idea came to his mind.
Christopher smiled and said shamelessly, “Can I take that as you’re inviting me to the Larson
residence?”
Kimberly rolled her eyes and retorted ruthlessly, “Sir, I can see you’re bad at languages.”
Even so, Christopher was not infuriated.
That would never have happened in the past.
In Levine Group, everyone was afraid of Christopher. Someone even nicknamed him “Dark Lord.”
Even Felix felt nervous around Christopher like a mouse seeing a cat.
To them, Christopher liked to act unexpectedly, and anything could happen. As team members, they
were fearful all day long.
If something went wrong and Christopher got angry, they should not explain.
That was because even if their explanations were reasonable, Christopher would still think they had
failed to accomplish the task as long as they made a mistake.
Those explanations would instantly become weak, turning into sophistry.
However, something different happened that day.
Or rather, something different happened to Christopher in the face of Kimberly.
His tolerance and endurance had.obviously improved a lot..
Christopher, with a cu nning look, responded as the situation demanded. He wanted to see how
eloquent Kimberly could be.
He laughed frivolously like a ruffian and teased, “Oh? You know me so well. It seems. that you care
about me.”
He meant what he said.
Hearing Christopher quickly change the subject and flirt with her, Kimberly nearly. choked on her own
breath. She thought the man before her was truly shameless.
Kimberly brushed a stray lock of the hair from her forehead, giving herself a pep
talk.
“I’ve never seen anyone as narcissistic as you. It’s an eye-opener to me today.” Kimberly snorted
coldly.
In other words, she was saying Christopher was absolutely shameless.
Kimberly could tell Christopher was cu nning when he tried to play a trick.
There was no need for her to tangle with him anymore.
She had to end it quickly.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of her time and life.
Anyway, she had already achieved her goal. She only wanted to tell Christopher to hurry over and take
his grandfather away.
As the saying went, “Better safe than sorry.”
She was worried that the heads of the Levine family and the Larson family would fight with each other
later.
“That’s all. Please deal with it,” Kimberly stated her stance once again.
With that, she hung up the phone with disgust.
She would block Christopher if she could.
It was ironic that the call duration between them had broken the record.
conversa When they were still in their marriage, every time she called him, the
Back
conversation would be, “Are you coming back?”
If it was a “yes, he would hum in response.
And if it was a “no,” he would reply to her, “I have a meeting.”
Kimberly hung up the phone quickly.
A series of beeps sounded.
Christopher’s eyes turned cold when he heard the annoying beeping sound.
He thought, ‘Why am I so unlovable today? My dear grandpa also hung up the phone without saying
anything. And my dear ex-wife was just like him. She even warned and threatened me before hanging
up the phone!”
Christopher thought Maxwell had a great time at the Larson residence because the latter had taken
care of everything.
Alas, he had his hopes dashed to pieces.
He realized Kimberly only displayed an arrogant and overbearing demeanor toward him, though.
It shouldn’t matter if he went to the Larson residence after he finished his work in the next two days.
Before nine o’clock the following morning, the conference room was already full of people. Everyone
was well-dressed.
Christopher was clad in a top-notch Armani suit, and his hairstyle had been specially styled. It made
him look energetic.
After walking into the conference room with an imposing aura, he swept his gaze across the room and
thought, ‘Not bad. Everyone is still full of energy and vitality.
Felix, however, was in a bad shape. In order to amend the proposal, he had had a vitamin drink and
three cups of coffee. After staying up all night, he finally completed the proposal to be discussed at the
meeting that day..
Christopher looked at Felix and paused momentarily before narrowing his eyes.
Felix caught the change in Christopher’s expression.
Feeling aggrieved, he uttered, “Mr. Levine, I’m doing this for the company. I have dark circles under my
eyes after getting up in the morning. Even though the kind-hearted administrative assistant helped me
with a layer of thick foundation after I arrived at the office, there’s no way it could save me!
Christopher sat down and spoke solemnly. “Let’s start the meeting”
Felix first made a concise report of the revised proposal. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The proposal had already been discussed many times.
After all, besides constantly striving for perfection, Christopher was demanding and also a stickler for
details.
While listening, Christopher interrupted from time to time and asked the relevant personnel for advice.
Everyone present felt like they were defending their thesis, and Christopher was the tricky and strange
lecturer.
The head of the financial department was a man in his 40s, wearing a pair of gold-
rimmed glasses.
He looked simple and elegant, but the receded hairline ruined his image.
His professional ability was one of the best in the company.
However, he was a little overwhelmed that day.
The main reason was Christopher’s questions were too detailed and included the data. of the past few
years. The head of the finance department neither brought his assistant to the meeting nor did he have
anyone to support him in the room.
After he had finished answering, he breathed a sigh of relief and uncontrollably wiped the sweat from
his forehead.
The atmosphere in the room was tense. Many people were nervous.
They had made preparations and worked very hard.
In spite of that, they were afraid of being asked what they hadn’t prepared.
It was like preparing for exams in their student days, especially the university entrance
exam.
Most people burned the midnight oil for countless days.
Still, they were not confident.
Especially before they entered the examination hall, they were still feeling insecure, afraid that the
exam questions were something they had not prepared for.
Recently, most people in Levine Group felt that the pressure at work had multiplied.
They were worried and did not know whether the situation was temporary or
permanent.
They were at a loss for what to do.
Even Astaroth in the gossip group, who knew Christopher best, dared not to make predictions easily
now.
