Chapter 1121 Tricked Again
The next morning, Jennifer woke up early to prepare breakfast for Donald.
"Good morning, Darling."
Donald yawned and tried to embrace Jennifer, but she gave him a stern look.
"Didn't you promise Geri to go on a trip? You woke up so late. Aren't you afraid of missing the flight?" Jennifer scolded.
"Huh?"
Donald looked at Jennifer with a bewildered expression. "I just casually agreed. She didn't even tell me it's today."
"Didn't I mention it?"
Holding a pot, Geraldine suddenly appeared from behind, startling Donald.
She innocently said, "Maybe I was too tired last night and forgot to tell you."
Pretending to check her watch, Geraldine added, "It's fine. Our flight is at noon. After breakfast, we still have plenty of time."
No wonder he felt manipulated last night. It turned out Geraldine had this in mind.
In front of Jennifer, Donald knew he could only go along with the plans.
So, he put up with Geraldine's tricks for now. He planned to settle the score on the plane.
"What about Hannah? Why hasn't she come out for breakfast?" Donald asked.
Jennifer served a bowl of oatmeal porridge to Donald and replied, "It seems something happened at the East Coast research institute, so they asked Hannah to help. Hannah's work shouldn't be dangerous, right?"
The East Coast?
Donald's brow furrowed.
He remembered that Billy had sent him a message this morning, mentioning some abnormality on the East Coast.
Before Donald could check his phone, Jennifer continued, "But this time, I'm glad you're willing to go to Epea with Geri to discuss a collaboration. You don't have to worry about the company. I've almost recovered, and Dragon Fide Corporation will be taken care of."
"Go to Epea to discuss a collaboration?" Donald was taken aback. "Aren't we going on a trip?"
Seeing Geraldine's guilty expression, Donald knew he had been tricked again.
Jennifer glanced at Geraldine, well aware of her friend's thoughts.
She told Donald, "Why are you making a fuss? Can't one discuss business and travel at the same time? You're there to ensure Geri's safety and don't have to do anything else. Isn't it a trip if you're not working?"
Donald finally understood. It seemed that this entire family was treating him like a bodyguard, ordering him around.
After a hurried breakfast, Donald kissed his son Thornton and left with Geraldine.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Geraldine avoided eye contact with Donald during the journey and maintained a certain distance from him.
Donald found it amusing. He was curious to see how long she would continue to avoid him.
As Geraldine was representing the Harper family for business negotiations, Donald did not arrange for a private jet from Quadfield.
Like everyone else, they went to the airport for their flight. However, both had purchased first-class tickets, allowing them to wait comfortably in the VIP lounge.
In the VIP lounge, Geraldine still intended to keep her distance from Donald.
However, when Geraldine noticed the leering gazes of the men in the waiting room, she hesitated for a moment before finally choosing to sit next to Donald. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Not running away now?" Donald looked at Geraldine with a half-smile.
With a pout, Geraldine expressed her grievance, "You're supposed to reward me. As a grown man, can't you stop nitpicking with me?"
Donald reached out and pinched Geraldine's cheek, applying a bit of force.
Geraldine widened her eyes and quickly exclaimed, "Ow, ow! I was wrong, okay? Donald, can't you spare me in public? It's embarrassing."
