Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 58

I nodded and looked at the report on his computer. I had to admit that Luis was a very good leader in terms of his work abilities.

He was very efficient and courageous.

After finishing the report, he closed his eyes and leaned his body back on the sofa. He rubbed his eyes and closed them, pretended to be dreaming as he placed the back of his hand on his forehead, and said with some fatigue, “Mr. Andrews from the branch office called and said that he wanted to invite you to dinner tonight.”

I nodded while seeing his sleepy face, “Well, why don’t you go back to the room and sleep for a while.”

He looked at the time, shook his head, and said, “No, I’ll just lean here for a bit.” After a pause, he said, “There are some financial issues in the branch office. If you don’t take a closer look, you won’t be able to tell. It is probably some higher management staff that had embezzled funds and casually found a project to fool others. Take a look, it involves millions of dollars!”

I nodded and started to look into all of the accounts. The branch office was modelled after the George Group and its operational model. City A was developing smoothly hence Dennis handed over a lot of its rights to the president here.

He didn’t often intervene in many of its affairs. I took a closer look and found that there was indeed a problem with a project. Under normal circumstances, for a small accident from a project, there was no reason why millions of funds were spent to cover up for it. Even if it is used to subsidize work-related injuries, it wouldn’t have amounted to such a figure. It was apparent that someone had misappropriated it.

“This matter may have to be handled by Jason Andrews!” I spoke and looked back at Luis but didn’t expect him to be asleep.

I got up and took a quilt from the bedroom to cover him.

There were still two hours left, so he could rest for a while. He hasn’t rested much from yesterday till now.

After sorting out the information, my phone vibrated, and it was Diana who called.

I picked up the call and her background noise were a little noisy, but her voice could still head, “Clara, you’re in City A, right? Send me your location, I’ll find you in a bit!”

I was taken aback, “Are you also in City A?”

Didn’t she ever mention that she wanted to travel in Armstrong Island, why is she in City A?

“I saw from your social media. I knew you were in City A, so I came here. I just got off the plane. Send me the address and I’ll come and find you.”

After we hung up the phone, I sent Diana a message on Facebook. I saw I had a few messages, I scanned through them. Some of them were work reports by Jackie, and a few were sent by Mario.

I almost forgot that Mario said that he would also be coming to City A. I called him when I remembered about it.

He connected after the phone rang a few times, with a deep and pleasant voice, “Which hotel are you in?”

“Are you in City A too?” I asked thinking it was a great coincidence.

“Just arrived. I just wanted to call you when you called. Which hotel are you in?” His voice was very low, and the surroundings were a little noisy.

I said with a louder voice, “Windemn Restaurant, the one along ND Street.”

“Ok, see you later!”

After I hung up, I got up and prepared to take a bath. Since I was going out for dinner in the evening, based on Diana’s habits, she would definitely make me go shopping with her.

I haven’t been shopping for a long time, so it’s good to get out for a walk.

I initially planned to go to the other room to bathe, but after searching for a long time, I didn’t find the other room’s key card. Luis was also asleep. Seeing that he was deep sleeping, I didn’t want to wake him up, so I just bathe it in this room.

Since there was a door in-between and he was also asleep, nothing would happen.

Probably due to overeating before sleeping, I had felt greasy, fortunately, I felt so much more comfortable after taking a shower.

I dried my hair in the bathroom, changed my clothes, and put on light makeup. When I came out, I heard Luis was speaking on the phone with someone.

I only heard him speak in a daze and say, “Hello, who are you looking for?”

I didn’t know what the other party responded, he said in a low voice, “She went to take a shower. If there’s anything, call back again.”

After that, he answered another yes and hung up.

I came out of the bathroom and saw him leaning on the sofa, in a half-awake state, as if he hadn’t slept enough.

He yawned when he saw me and asked, “Why are you dressed up so beautifully, we’re just going out for a meal.”

Ignoring him, I noticed that my mobile phone was still in his hand. I couldn’t help but think of the call he had just answered, and I reacted in hindsight.

I was surprised, “You answered my call just now?”

He nodded, sat up straight, threw the phone to me, and said, “It ranged several times, it woke me up.”

I took the phone, ignored him, and flipped through the call history. The last call was from Dennis.

I…

I dialed the phone back, and it was turned switched off.

I glared at Luis and said angrily, “What did you tell him?”

He got up and said lazily, “I didn’t say anything! Dennis asked me where you went. I said you went to take a shower. After that, he asked if I was in the same room with you, and I said yes!”

He looked at me with an innocent expression on his face and said, “I’m telling the truth. Is there something wrong?”

I was speechless, and I couldn’t wait to beat this man up, “No, you were right with your words.”

However, what this dude had said was easy to cause a misunderstanding.

I called Dennis again, but the phone on the other end of the phone was still switched off. After thinking about it, Dennis might not have thought too much about it.

I placed the mobile phone away. Luis came out of the bathroom with wet hair and dripping beads of water. He must have gone in to wash his face.

He wiped off the drops of water from his hair with a towel, looked at me, and said, “Let’s go, it’s getting late.”

After leaving the hotel with him, I called Diana and Mario. Diana had just settled in the hotel and said that she wanted to get some sleep first. She would come to find me later. Mario said that he had something on, and he might not be able to leave for a while.

After I’ve replied to them, I went with Luis to the restaurant that Jason Andrews had reserved.

Jason Andrews was very efficient. When Luis and I arrived, everyone else had arrived and they were waiting for Luis and me to arrive and serve the food.

When we arrived at the room, Jason Andrews briefly introduced everyone and said a few words of formalities.

They were all senior executives in the branch office. Luis was used to speaking casually with them. After chatting for a while, he chatted with Jason Andrews about the branch office.

The two had a very pleasant chat. They went out halfway, but when they came back, no one knew what they had encountered. They became a bit mean in their choice of words.

Luis looked at Jason Andrews and said, “Mr. Andrews, you’re also regarded as a shareholder of the George Group. The George Group has been listed for two years and has been well developed in all aspects. Although it wouldn’t cause any major problems if the few millions of stolen funds have been moved. However, if there are too many such instances, it is inevitable that one day the nest would collapse.”

Jason Andrews was taken aback when he heard it, and he held a glass of wine to raise a toast to him, “Mr. Collins, you’re young and promising. I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

“Then, you should go back and take a good look at the finances!” After he spoke, Luis looked at me with his wine glass and said, “Come, let’s have a drink!”
