Chapter 26

"Yes, sir." Christopher Martin's forehead beaded with sweat.

But was this really a good idea?

Mr. Williams had just asked him one more question about his arrogant temper and immediately gave him a cold look.

It wasn't right to have to meddle in his private life.

Alas, it was tough being an assistant these days, especially when you had a boss with such a cold temper and proud disposition.

Christopher Martin was suffering in silence.

After seeing off the old man, he breathed a sigh of relief and knocked on the door to enter the president's office.

"Sir, I'm in the car."

"Well, I see." Liam Williams didn't lift his head. "What's the schedule for today? Let's hear it."

"There will be a video conference in the morning, and the general managers of each branch will report to you all the achievements of last month, as well as the new product launch to be held by Milan Fashion House. In the afternoon, I will meet with three real estate developers to discuss cooperation matters. I have sorted out the information. Just look at it on your desk." Christopher Martin, as his full-time assistant, had handled all of Liam Williams's affairs in an orderly way.

Milan Fashion House's press conference was also extremely important. After all, it was a brand he had created himself, not one inherited from his father.

Milan Fashion House was a clothing company under Pinnacle Corporation, and it was also the best-selling clothing brand today. Before the arrival of autumn every year, Milan Fashion House would design a large number of exclusive autumn and winter fashion clothes, so it would hold a large-scale press conference every year.

Pinnacle Corporation also attached great importance to the development of this industry, and had invested a lot of money in order to let Milan Fashion House go nationwide and global.

"Well, that's it. You go and prepare for the meeting at nine o'clock on time." Liam Williams took a look at his mobile phone. It was 8:45. He still had time. He called Emma Johnson and told her that he was going to see him at home in the evening.

"Yes, sir." Christopher Martin nodded and turned to leave.

However, as soon as he got to the door of the office, he heard Liam Williams's voice coming from behind, "Christopher, I think you'd better take some time to read more fashion magazines. The necklace you bought yesterday is really not good, and the taste is too poor."

Christopher Martin, "..."

Not so good? Boss, your girlfriend is not satisfied?

So that's why I read fashion magazines now?

He was a great master's student and a great assistant to the president. Did he really want to spend time on how to buy necklaces to please the boss's girlfriend?

Bearing a stomach full of sadness, Christopher Martin paused, "OK, sir, I will take time to study."

He raised his hand and closed the door gently. Christopher Martin was depressed. The boss who sold necklaces had said that any girl would like it when she saw it. It was a big diamond!

Which girl didn't have eyes? It wasn't pretty!

...

Liam Williams was also depressed. He was a little upset when he thought of Emma Johnson's disgust.

Looking down, he opened his phone's address book and dialed her.

Du Du

Du

Until the end of the ring, no one answered, and a female voice came from the phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is not answered, please redial later..."

Liam Williams hung up a little impatiently, and then called again. The result was the same, and no one answered.

Well, it seemed that he had been cruel enough. This little girl dared not answer the phone.

In the morning, the whole body wasted their efforts. They didn't pay attention to what they said.

Liam Williams curled his mouth and his face was gloomy. He picked up the information on the table and went to the conference room.

...

New York Fashion Magazine.

Because of the schedule, the whole magazine was in a hurry.

What's more, the most important problem was that the male model who had promised to shoot the cover was still in Singapore because of the flight delay.

So as soon as she received the news, she immediately went to the photography department to contact a suitable male model to replace him.

Because she left in a hurry, she didn't take her mobile phone with her, so she didn't receive a call from Liam Williams.

She was busy until lunch when she came back to the office and was ready to call for takeout.

She saw two missed calls, hesitated for a while and then pressed the callback.

After a while, the phone was answered, "Hello, wife? If you don't call me back, I'll almost drive to your company to find you..." Liam Williams's magnetic voice sounded in his ears, especially the word "find you" made Emma Johnson shudder.

As God's witness, she didn't mean to ignore this demon-like man.

Emma Johnson swallowed her saliva, worried about what she said wrong and provoked him again. Her voice said softly, "What's the matter with you? In the morning, there was a little problem with our magazine. We didn't have time to answer it."

"Oh, so it is. Do you need my help?" Hearing her say that there was something wrong with the company, Liam Williams asked with concern.

"No, it's settled. What's the matter with you?" Emma Johnson now spoke carefully, after all, she had learned this man's power.

"I want to take you home today. Are you free?" Liam Williams didn't want to put pressure on her, so he didn't say that Henry Williams had called to see Emma Johnson, but that he wanted to take her home.

"I'm afraid I can't today. I have to work overtime, which means I'll be busy these days. If you don't mind, can we go another day?"

When it came to meeting his family, Emma Johnson didn't want to refuse. After all, Liam Williams was impeccable in front of her parents, so she naturally wanted to show his family well.

When Liam Williams heard this, he hesitated and was about to say something. Suddenly, he remembered that when she went out in the morning, Emma Johnson had already clearly said that she would work overtime today and asked Sophia Johnson not to wait for her to eat.

He forgot for a moment, so he agreed to his father.

Liam Williams hesitated for a while. "That's OK. You're busy. We'll talk about going to my house another day."

"Well, I see. You tell me in advance that I'll prepare some presents or something."

"Then you eat more at noon, and you don't have enough in the morning."

Well, Liam Williams was surprised when he finished.

So thoughtful? Was it really from his own mouth?

"Well, I see. I'll hang up. Bye." Emma Johnson nervously pressed the hang-up button and touched the strawberry on her neck.

In fact, he wasn't so bad, right? Sometimes he was overbearing, and sometimes he was considerate, like a neighbor's long-legged doll.

Forget it. Still, she didn't want to think about him. Anyway, now Emma Johnson was clear about Liam Williams's preferences. Obviously, he ate soft, not hard.
