Secret Crush novel Chapter 27

'shareholders of the company?'? Leila had never known that a mere vice director of logistics department would arouse impeach of the shareholders. If no one had put obstacles in their way, who would believe that?

In the company, there was only one person against her. That was Daisy. Johnson was not in a hurry to send her away, but she was in the first place. No wonder every employee looked at her weirdly this morning when she came in. Daisy had already spread the news that the shareholders were impeached her together in the company.

Leila asked, "Freddy, would you please do me a favor?"

Freddy wished he could do something to help Leila, so he nodded his head and said, "go ahead, Miss Leila."

Leila was very satisfied with his enthusiasm. She said faintly, "help me put down the list of shareholders that will impeach me."

Freddy was surprised and didn't know what she wanted the list for. But on second thought, he thought she might break it one by one to try to keep her position in the company. This made sense. Freddy nodded and said, "don't worry, Miss Leila. I will deal with it."

Leila trusted him. Although Freddy was greedy for fame and fortune, he would do his best to get what he wanted. So she didn't need to worry about it. But when he told the whole thing to Johnson, there was nothing to be surprised. In this case, she had to thank Daisy for covering for her.

She had to destroy them one by one, not only for her company's status, but also for her shares!

With a glint of hope in her eyes, Leila guessed that perhaps the best way to make her suffer was to play along with Daisy, who was so eager to make her suffer.

Of course, she would counterattack.

When Leila was in the office, she looked through all the information of the company's employees. Her memory was superb, after that, she could almost remember almost everything. Knowing oneself and enemy as well as fighting a hundred battles and winning victory, which was a rule that everyone knew since ancient times, but she was a very clever memory.

In the afternoon, Freddy made a list of shareholders and sent it to Leila's office. Leila raised her eyes, smiled and said, "thank you very much, Freddy."

Freddy also smiled and said, "Miss Leila, you're welcome. If you need anything in the future, just tell me, but..."

His voice trailed off. Leila glanced at him, knowing what he was going to say. She promised, "don't worry. I'll talk about you in front of Max."

As expected, Freddy left with satisfaction. Watching his back, Leila's eyes were filled with coldness.

If one's heart was not enough for the snake to swallow an elephant, it would only bring about its own destruction in the end!

When she was about to implement the plan, her mobile phone began to vibrate. She looked at it and was surprised.

'Charles?'?

Since he came back from abroad, she seldom saw him and didn't know what he was busy with. She answered the phone and heard a gentle voice from the other side.

"Leila, do you have time for lunch?"

Leila replied, "yes. What's wrong?"

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to invite you to lunch."

She never needed to disguise herself in front of Charles. As a matter of fact, Leila resumed her usual manner and teased, "well, you always tease at me, and every dog has its day. Today, I'll do you a good lesson!"

With a smile, Charles said: "Okay, you can do whatever you want to me today."

When he said this, his tone was very gentle, as if it was not the same as in her memory. Leila was a little stunned, and finally said: "remember to take your wallet."

After hanging up the phone, Leila left this matter behind and buried herself in the information of the company's employees. She must get a full understanding of the group during the free time these days.

At noon, if she hadn't felt hungry, she wouldn't have noticed that time had passed for so long. She looked at her watch and found that it was already 12:30. Her cell phone had just been muted, and there were several missed calls from Charles. She suddenly remembered her appointment with him and dialed.

The phone was quickly connected, and his voice was still gentle.

"What's wrong? Are you busy?"

With an embarrassed smile on her face, Leila said, "I was working and I forgot the time. How long have you been waiting for me?"

Charles sat on the sofa and gestured for the waiter to change the cold coffee. He said casually, "not long. I just arrived."

Leila breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, she rushed over there and opened the door of the private room of the restaurant. When she saw Charles, she smiled.

"Fortunately, you chose a restaurant that is not far from the company."

If he was farther away from her, probably she would not be willing to run away, because they grew up together from childhood, he was too familiar with her temperament. Everything he did according to her preferences. It was an obvious sign of affection, but she did not realize it.

To a certain extent, Charles was not a bold man. He was afraid that he would break the tacit relationship with her and would never go back to the past.

He was not reluctant to tell her, but reluctant to part with her.

Charles looked deeply at her and said: "if I have chosen a place a little far away from here, wouldn't you come even if it's me?"

Leila stared at him inexplicably and drank tea, "you're not sure about it, but why do you book it so far away?"

Charles could not help laughing. How could he forget that she had never treated him as an opposite sex brother. Perhaps in her eyes, he was just an intimate brother with no gender difference.

Both of them, who grew up in the same pair of trousers, gradually got to understand what was going on in their minds and had a hidden trouble in their mind for more than twenty years.

Leila browsed through the menu and ordered several dishes she liked. She asked him casually, "what do you want to eat?"

Charles said a few dishes casually. Leila then told the waiter the dishes. When the dishes were ready, she asked casually, "have you taken over the company now?"

Hearing that, Charles's eyes darkened and said: "No."

Leila was confused. Didn't he come back to take over the Qiao Group? Why did you come back so long? Nothing happened?

Without waiting for her to ask more questions, he explained, "I'm at the medical and research team of the Mu Group now."

Leila's face froze. She recalled that night when they had dinner together, he had rejected Max's proposal. Why did he go to the medical research team?

Her intuition told her that there was something behind it. She asked, "have you changed your mind? Or... "

She didn't finish her sentence, but Charles understood. "It's about Max," he said with deep eyes

As expected, Leila guessed, it was not Max who forced him with special means. She was deeply aware of this, so she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that she was silent, Charles smiled and said, "don't overthink it. Medical is my favorite job. Although it's the medical research team of the Mu Group, there is no difference in medical. I'm still very happy."

Even though she knew that he was comforting her, Leila was still relieved. Whatever the reason, she didn't want to see Charles being at loggerheads with Max.

"How about you? How about you work for the Max? "

When he asked this, he ignored the slight pain in his heart. After returning to the country, he also knew her situation. If possible, he wished he were the one who had been held by Max. But now the Qiao Group was in trouble and unable to protect themselves. He didn't have extra energy to protect her anymore. The only thing he could do was to let her run to others.

Having overcome the abnormality in her heart, Leila wanted to answer his question with ease, but she couldn't say anything. The atmosphere was slowly stiffened. At this time, a waiter came in, interrupting the upcoming embarrassment.

Leila was starving. When she saw the food, she forgot the strange feeling and gobbled down in front of him, totally ignoring the man's funny eyes.

They had been brought up together since they were children. She had experienced a lot? Charles was the man that Leila was willing to abandon all her image. He was really special? Said Charles indifferently.

During the lunch, Leila wanted to go back to the company, but she was stopped by Charles. He looked into her eyes and said, "I want you to go to a place with me."

She was about to decline but stopped on the tip of her tongue. It was hard for both of them to spare some time to have dinner together. Considering that all the business in the company had been dealt with today, it would be no problem if she didn't go back. She nodded and said, "I've lost my whole afternoon's salary for accompanying you."

Charles raised his eyebrows and said: "how about I transfer ten times to your card?"

With a sly smile, Leila said, "I like a decisive person like you!"

Although she was just joking, he couldn't help feeling nervous when he heard the word "like" from Leila. He smiled and said, "haven't you got rid of the personality of indulging yourself in wealth all these years?"

Hearing this, Leila said, "after all, nothing is impossible with money."

If it wasn't for money, how could Sophia and Daisy stubbornly insist on staying in Song family, and how could her family be broken into pieces? Leila had always dreamed of doing something for a long time since she grew up. And at that time, she could get a large amount of money, using it to kill Sophia and Daisy!

When she was a child, she felt her dream was great, but when she grew up, she found it ridiculous. It turned out that money wasn't the only thing to be domineering in this world. Power was also something. For example, the reason why she was with Max was for the word "power".

With money and power, you are the boss!

Charles glanced at her while she was pondering. He could tell from her expression that she was worried about something. His heart broke. He interrupted her thoughts and dragged her extremely deep memories out of her mind. He said in a low voice, "we have promised to be together with me. Don't waste any time on yourself."

Leila nodded and followed him out of the room. When she walked out of the door of the restaurant, she overlooked that someone was staring at her.

In a delicately decorated dining room, Max narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman in front of him. His fingers unconsciously clenched, and his knuckles were slightly white.

Great. It seems that she still had time to date with a man, she is too idle and boring.
