Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 37

It was like a fine layer of frost condensed in the air in the bedroom, cold to the bone, and I kept my head down, not looking at him.

After a while, he took a shallow breath, and then said in a cold voice, “Get some rest, and when you calm down, we'll talk!”

Without any other superfluous conversation, he finished, getting up and leaving the bedroom.

Dennis left the villa that night, and I stayed up all night.

Even so, when the sun rose again, we still had to open our eyes and go on with our lives.

I didn't sleep well all night, so when I came to the company with a tired body, Jackie was worried about me, “Clara, did you stay up late last night reading files? A company’s audit is actually not that difficult, you do not have to have too much pressure. You are just getting a little bit better, take care!”

I nodded, my head a little buzzed, and after checking the George’s finance, I checked the Thomson Group’s finance as well.

While I kept yawning, Jackie got me a cup of coffee and said, “Oh, Clara, is the company's audit specifically assigned to AC or Jo Turner Credit?”

It gave me a headache to think about this problem. Yesterday the middle-aged man asked me to hold a tender and did not mention any specific requirements.

The situation was not yet clear, so I said after a second thought, “How long does the audit take?”

“In previous years, it was about half a month, but this year it may take at least a month!” Jackie said, placing the audit information of the previous years on my desk.

It gave me a headache by just looking at it, then I asked, “How much time is left in the year?”

The company needed to be disclosed to the economic network after the annual audit. The George’s was a listed company, so there were many shareholders and investors waiting to see the audit result.

“Not much, just a month and a half to go. And The George’s have branches in other provinces, you do not have to visit each branch, but still need to go to a few, or there is no way to know the specifics!”

I nodded and put the papers away. I looked at the time, and it was already noon, so I glanced at Jackie and said, “I need to meet with the president of Jo Turner Credit and get me an appointment, preferably as soon as possible!”

“Okay!” Jackie then added, “Do you still want to meet AC’s president?”

I originally did not intend to meet this person, but thinking about what happened last night, I could not help but speculate that it could be AC who was trying to steal this business from me, so...

After thinking about it, I said, “Yes, did they come by again today?”

“Still downstairs in the hospitality room.” Jackie then added, “It's AC's president, Michael !”

The president came over himself? It seemed that the George’s audit can indeed earn a lot of money.

“Make a reservation for me at a nearby restaurant,” I got up, carrying my purse, and said, “Please be quick, I’ll go meet this Mrs. Knight.”

“Okay!” Jackie said yes and hurriedly left.

I went out of the office and went directly to the waiting room of the George’s building. The George’s office building was very large, with sufficient funds, a luxurious leisure reception living room was set up in the lobby on the first floor to welcome VIPs.

I came into the living room and saw the middle-aged man sitting in front of the ink-colored Chinese sofa. At noontime, everyone was busy eating, so there were not many people there. Michael ’s face looked clean and handsome, so he was not at all greasy as a middle-aged man.

When he saw me, he got up, smiled and came to me, then reached out to shake my hand and said, “Miss Kennedy, I’m Michael , founder of AC, nice to meet you!”

I smiled and said, “My apologies, Mrs. Knight. I've been a little busy lately and really don't have time, I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting!” I checked the time and said to him, “It's just about lunchtime, shall we have lunch together?”

He smiled lightly and nodded his head, “My pleasure!”

After a few words, they both did not mention business. When they came to the restaurant Jackie had booked in advance, Michael still did not take the initiative to mention the audit things.

He just told me something interesting in life, looking a bit like two friends chatting together. He did not mention business, and naturally neither did I. I just listened to him quietly.

After a long time, he observed me and said, “I heard that Miss Kennedy is in charge of the George's audit this year?”

I nodded, “The company is going public, there are too many things, and Mr. George and Mr. Thomson basically don’t have the time, so I’ll take over this project temporarily.”

He smiled, “AC has done all of the George's audits in previous years, and this year...”

He didn’t finish, but I knew what he was going to say. I responded with a smile, “The George's and AC have been cooperating for many years, and it is reasonable that AC should take over the audit. But the contract between AC and the George's has expired, and according to the previous practice, we the George's will hold bidding, of course, I very much hope that in this bidding AC and the George's can cooperate again.”

This was the end of the conversation. Michael smiled lightly after listening, good manner kept him elegant, “Well, AC is looking forward to this cooperation too.”

After lunch, I sent Michael away. Jackie followed me and said, “Miss Kennedy, isn’t Mr. George going to give the company's audit to Jo Turner Credit this year? Why should we hold a bid?”

“If they don't bid, the George’s will not only offend AC, but also other audit firms. AC is an old brand and has been cooperating with the George’s all these years. If the cooperation suddenly terminated, what makes you think that they won’t use the George’s audits of previous years to cause trouble?”

In addition, there was another reason. I wondered if Michael had something to do with what happened last night.

But from the reaction he had after knowing there would be bids, what happened last night probably had nothing to do with him.

But she can't be completely sure, so she could only observe for some time.

Jackie nodded and frowned slightly, “Then why did you…”

“Why didn't I say so in advance?” I interrupted her and gave her a look, “I’m not the only person Dennis hired, and this is a large company. If he has to make everything clear to everyone, then why does he have to hire so many people?! He might as well do it himself.”

“But you’re his wife!”

I gave her a self-mockery smile, “Although I am his wife, he is not satisfied with me as his wife. Even if he is satisfied, he is the president of the George’s, I am the director, so he is my boss in the company. If I am stupid enough to ask him to specify everything, he might as well let me go home and just be Mrs. George!”

The most intelligent brains were no better than hard work and accumulate experience.

Back to the office, Jackie asked the president of Jo Turner Credit to have dinner. I didn't tell anyone about what happened last night and kept it in my heart alone.

The good thing was that the company was big, so I did not have to meet with Dennis if there’s no special things. I did not think about how he will handle things between us next, the only thing I can do, was to do my job well.
