The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 35

Few minutes later, Yuliana found Darryl at a snack stall.

Yuliana was drenched in sweat when she appeared in front of Darryl. She said with confusion, “Mister, our Manager Luke would like to invite you to return to the centre.”

She did not understand why Charles wanted to desperately look for this person.

Darryl was enjoying his meatball stick as he casually said, “Just before, all of you enjoyed chasing me out, right? Now you want to invite me back? Who do you think I am?”

Yuliana was very nervous and she almost cried. “Mister, I was wrong. My attitude was bad. If you don’t go back there with me, I will lose my job.”

Yuliana bit her lips tightly. Before, she looked down on Darryl, but now she was begging him.

As she almost cried, Darryl replied, “Fine.”

Moments later, back at the Audi 4S centre, Yuliana politely brought Darryl into the office.

Charles walked toward Darryl with a big smile the moment he saw him.

“Mister Darby!”

Darryl sat elegantly on the sofa, glared at Charles and said,” Humans change really quickly don’t they? I finally experienced it today. Bastards like you flipped so quickly too. So, what is this about? Invited me back to humiliate me again?”

Charles’s facial emotion changed slightly as he held back his anger and replied cautiously, “That… Mister Darby, are you here to discuss the collaboration?”

Darryl did not immediately reply. He quietly took out the documents from his briefcase and threw it onto the coffee table.

Charles picked up the document and immediately read it. He was stunned. With a wide smile on his face that was full of sincerity and apologies, he said, “President Darby, look, before this I …”

Without waiting for him to finish, Darryl waved his hand. “I don’t buy this. When you asked me to leave just now, what did you say? You asked me to get out and if you regret, you and your family, will address me as…”

Charles turned purple, as he forced an ugly smile on his face and said, “President Darby, I didn’t know who you were.”

Seeing that Darryl did not reply, Charles swallowed his pride, took a bow and greeted, “Father!”

Although the collaboration involved Audi Corporation sponsoring 100 million bucks for the entertainment program of Platinum Corporation, the advertisement from these programs would bring an unimaginably huge benefit to Audi.

One must know that Superstar was really a big hit program.

As such, no matter how unwilling Charles was, he had to accept defeat, otherwise if he blew this collaboration, he would not be able to hold on to his position as the Regional Manager.

Darryl was finally satisfied, nodded and said, “Yes, now this is sincere.”

At that moment, Phoebe having completed her car purchase, walked in to happily say goodbye to Charles.

However, before she could enter, she saw what had happened through the glass window and was shocked.

Did she have a problem with her eyes?

Was the person sitting on the sofa not the useless Darryl?

And Charles was apologising to him?

Furthermore… Did Charles just greet Darryl, “Father?”

Did she hear wrongly?

“…”

Charles felt so ashamed after he noticed Phoebe standing by the door. His face was all red. He wanted to bury himself in a hole.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“Wait.” Darryl shook his hand and said, “I would love to remain low profile. I do not wish too many people knowing about my position. You should know what to say to her.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Charles was not stupid. He knew what Darryl meant immediately. His head was pounding.

Once he was outside the office, Charles changed to his regular character as the regional manager, smiled toward Phoebe and asked, “All done?”

“Yes, thank you!” Phoebe smiled while looking at Darryl in the office. She asked casually, “What happened? Were you apologising to him just now? Why is he back? Is he really here to buy a car?”

“Oh… about that…” Charles was in a dilemma, so he casually replied after some thought, “How would he be able to afford a car? He said he lost something while at the centre so he came back looking for it… I was explaining to him…”

“I see.”

Phoebe asked further, “A useless man like him will never lose something valuable. I guess he is here to cheat you.”

While speaking, Phoebe took out her cellphone. “You are too kind. Shall I help you call the cops?”
