Chapter 452: Ask Him for Help
Chapter 452: Ask Him for Help
Jasper was caught off guard.
This girl was smarter now.
"You have a poor memory. You had said it before, but you forgot it."
Jasper blushed because he lied.
"Really? Did I say that? When did I say that? Why can't I remember?"
Misled by Jasper, Elaine started to think about it seriously, tilting her head.
At this time, the door of the president's office opened, and the cold air came out of the room.
"Elaine! Are you a turtle? Does it take you so long to get to me from there? Why are you staring at me? Come on in!"
Emmett couldn't hold on any longer and summoned her with a gloomy face.
...
Elaine was shocked a little. Jasper let her go, stifling a snigger.
"OK." Elaine was dumbfounded. She was still a little confused. She looked at Emmett and then at Jasper beside her, whispering, "My Majesty called me. I will go in."
Jasper almost burst out laughing.
Elaine jogged to Emmett's office.
"Close the door!"
When Elaine was at the door, Emmett ordered coldly.
"Alright." Elaine stuck out her tongue and obediently closed the door.
Oddly enough, Bad-bear Smith was reading the newspaper. Why could he notice her?
"Mr. Smith...."
"What are you calling me?"
Emmett fiercely slapped the newspaper in his hand. He stared at Elaine with his gaze as sharp as a sword.
Elaine shivered. If his gaze could turn into arrows, she would probably be a hedgehog by now.
Did you see that? They just broke up and his attitude towards her was so terrible.
"Emmett...."
Elaine muttered softly.
Actually, if Elaine was a little more careful, she would find that the newspaper Emmett placed on the table was upside down. Just now, he was pretending to read for he was not good enough at English to read the English newspaper like that.
"Am I a tiger?"
His sudden question astonished Elaine. "Of course you are not."
Although he wasn't, he was even more threatening than a tiger.
"Then why are you so far away from me? Don't you know that I'm tired of watching and talking from afar?"
Emmett impatiently knocked on the table with his fingers.
Elaine shrunk her neck and took a few steps forward. She stood in the middle of the big office like a lost kitten.
Emmett looked Elaine up and down greedily before he lazily asked, "Miss Elaine, you broke up with me. Why do you come to my company? Do you want to get back together?"
Elaine rubbed her shoes against the carpet and subconsciously rubbed her nose, "Well ... actually I don't want to come either. You see, we broke up. It would be strange if I came to look for you, wouldn't it?"
...
"Get to the point!"
He felt resigned towards her. Once he heard her talking without the main point, he could not help but relax completely and laugh.
Right now ... he couldn't laugh out loud!
Therefore, Emmett interrupted Elaine and rubbed his face with his hand, pretending to be very irritable. In fact, he was blocking his smile.
"Well ... the point is ... our principal wants to commit suicide.... No, no, our principal is so worried about the school that he wants to commit suicide. He told me...."
"What does it have to do with you? Are you his daughter? Are you his wife? Or are you his mistress?"
Emmett glared at Elaine, which sent shivers down her spine.
Were all men who were disappointed in love so aggressive? His gaze like that of a hungry wolf was extremely frightening.
"No, I'm not...."
"So why do you come to me and talk to me about your principal?"
"Well... don't interrupt me, okay? I'm slow enough. If you interrupt me a few more times, I'll forget the reason. Shut up and wait for me to finish." Elaine was a little annoyed. She stamped her feet and complained about Emmett.
She probably didn't know that there were few people in the world who could brazenly make Emmett shut up.
Elaine was under great pressure with her nerves tense. Once she shouted, she relaxed immediately. So she looked around and found that there wasn't any tea on the table prepared for the guests. She walked to Emmett's desk and looked at Emmett across the table. Emmett almost flipped over from his chair excitedly. Elaine, however, just reached out and picked up Emmett's cup and drank the water in it.
She came in such a hurry that she didn't even drink any water. She was dying of thirst.
...
Emmett looked at the little girl gulping down the water in his cup, charmed by her.
He was doomed, completely
Couldn't he live without the girl?
Just looking at her drinking water, he was out of control.
What was that!
Emmett secretly inhaled, because he had a physical reaction.
After Elaine finished drinking the water in his cup, she felt refreshed. She put down his cup and instructed, "Have your secretary pour you another cup. I'm thirsty to death."
Emmett rolled his eyes and personally stood, walking over to the water dispenser and filling it with water.
This was extremely rare!
Emmett was usually so busy that he wouldn't waste his precious time to personally get up and pour water.
The only reason why he personally poured water today was that he didn't want anyone to come in and disturb them!
"What did you eat for lunch? Salt particles? Look how thirsty you are! Idiot!"
Idiot who couldn't even take care of herself....
Elaine bulged her cheeks. Forget it. She decided not to argue with him. After all, she came to ask him for help today.
Endure!
Elaine rubbed her belly and walked to the sofa. She sat down just like she used to on the high-quality sofa casually before she looked up at Emmett. She pouted softly and said.
"Here's the thing. Our principal called me to talk today. He said that the No. 3 experimental building had stopped working. He was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it. There was no
money left. He wanted to jump off the building. As a member of Irvine University, I had an obligation to contribute to the construction of the school, so I came to ask you for help. That's all."
Of course, Emmett knew why Elaine had come.
This was an incident that he and Jasper created together.
Emmett thought of a way, and Jasper did it.... Jasper's last sentence to the principal was, "If you don't let Elaine ask Mr. Smith for help, there'll be a series of big problems of your school!"
Of course, Emmett would never tell Elaine these tricks behind the scenes.
If he told this woman, wouldn't she be more than arrogant? She would get to be like that.
'Oh, look at you, Emmett. No matter how capable you are, and how rich you are, aren't you still inseparable from me? Didn't you still need to put in a lot of effort to get me back?'
...
Thus, Emmett pretended to have just heard the news and slightly opened his eyes. He leaned back and crossed his fingers. "Do you know how much money your school owes our company for the experimental building and the previous project?" He said tactfully.
"How much?"
"Not much, more than 30 million."
"What!"
'Thirty million? Oh, my God, really? So much?'
Elaine widened her eyes and could not sit still.
"So much money ... Then, do what you want. Pretend that I haven't been here before." Elaine decided to retreat rationally.
Emmett's face clouded over immediately.
"Then what about your principal?"
"Him? He can do whatever he likes. Just like you said, I'm not his daughter, wife, or mistress. His death has nothing to do with me."
Emmett gritted his teeth and said, "Elaine, you are really ruthless. Would you just watch your principal commit suicide? Furthermore, why did you agree to it in the beginning, but didn't you do it well? Wasn't that forcing him to despair even more? Originally, he might not really want to jump out of the building, but he would after being tormented by you like this. Elaine, don't you feel that you might be the murderer? "
Elaine was covered in cold sweat because of Emmett's distorted reasoning.
Murderer! That was terrifying....
Elaine pouted her lips and said with an irritated expression, "Then what should we do? More than 30 million, it's not a small amount. It is the school's fault to owe you money for the project, and it owes you so much."
Emmett smiled mischievously, "Actually ... we can discuss about it."
"Discuss? How?"
Elaine was excited. She blinked her crystal eyes hopefully.
Think about it. If she could settle such a big matter for the school, then wouldn't she be written into the history of the school?
A great contributor!
Emmett glanced at the cup and said, "Bring me some water." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"What? Okay."
