Chapter 237 Don’t Play Like This
Simon wasn’t just brushing him off. He was really quite busy.
At the end of the year, the reports and settlement of the year had already been summarized by the various branches, and there were too many meetings.
Of course, it was not only that. These things could be done slowly without being in a hurry, but he wanted to finish them as soon as possible so that he could spare time to accompany his wife.
In the past, his days had always been scheduled. Even if he worked on New Year’s Eve, it did not matter. But now it was different. Now he had someone he wanted to accompany, so he wanted to give her more time.
After a busy afternoon, Simon finished his last meeting and looked at the time. It was already a little late.
As he walked toward the office, he took the documents from his assistant and quickly signed them. The moment he pushed open the office door, someone rushed to him. “Mr. Palmer, you should have a minute now, right?”
Simon was speechless.
He frowned and looked at Chester, who had appeared in front of him suddenly, with an aloof attitude.
Looking at his expression, the secretary beside him said carefully, “Mr. Palmer, Mr. Xavier said that he has already made an appointment with you and has been waiting for you here for more than three hours.”
“Yes, baby! To be precise, three hours forty-seven minutes and twenty-eight seconds!” Chester took a look at the time to correct the secretary and gave her a flying kiss by the way.
The secretary blushed and did not dare to look at Chester directly.
Simon frowned. “Don’t flirt with my secretary for no reason!”
As he spoke, he entered the office.
Chester followed in. Chester said, “How can this be called flirt? I’m just helping you water the flowers! Women are like flowers. They need to be nourished once in a while! Your coldness would make these flowers wither! That’s cruel!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Simon’s assistant teasingly. Occasionally, he would send out a few flying kisses, causing the hearts of the female employees to skip a beat.
In fact, Chester’s facial features were not as delicate as Simon’s, but they were harmonious. Just looking at the facial features separately, he was ordinary. But when looking at his entire face, he was very good-looking and made people feel very comfortable.
With that pair of pretty eyes, wherever he went, he would release charm. He was also the president of the Xavier Group. He was a typical tall, rich, and handsome man. In fact, he was very attractive.
Simon pulled down the blinds to prevent Chester from flirting with the employees. Simon signed the last document and handed it to his assistant. After giving a few more instructions, he turned around and picked up his coat. It seemed that he was really leaving.
“Are you off work? You should have time now, right?” Chester followed him closely. Wherever Simon went, Chester followed. Chester did not believe that he could not find an opportunity to ask his question.
“I don’t have time. I told you that I have to go home!”
Walking into the exclusive elevator in the office, Chester squeezed in and said, “Why? How boring it is to go home! You are not a seven-year-old child who goes home obediently. Anyway, you haven’t eaten, and I haven’t eaten either. Let’s have a meal together. My treat. How about It?”
Chester raised his thumb and looked heroic.
“No need! i’ll go home and eat.” Simon was indifferent as he maintained his usual cold attitude.
“What’s so good about going home? We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Let’s have a drink together!”
When the elevator reached the underground garage, Simon walked out of the elevator. Chester still followed, looking like he would not give up.
“No!” Simon opened the car door and got in, and Chester also got in. Freddie, who was already sitting in the driver’s seat and waiting for Simon, did not expect it. He was stunned for a moment. “Mr. Palmer?”
“I am going home, not to the bar.” Simon looked at Chester and emphasized again.
“I know! I am going back with you!” Chester nodded.
“There’s no food for you.” –
Chester gritted his teeth. “It’s fine, I’m not hungry. You don’t have time, do you? Then we’ll talk in the car. Is this okay?”
Chester still insisted. Simon could roughly guess what Chester was doing this time, so he didn’t say anything else. He looked at Freddie and said, “Drive!”
The car started. Chester quickly closed the door and sat down.
It was really not easy! In order to do it, he did not care about anything else, and his car was temporarily left in the underground garage.
Chester finally found an opportunity, so he had to think about how to ask the question properly.
Before he could get prepared, he heard Simon ask him first. “Did Susan ask you to come?”
Chester was petrified.
Chester looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. He wondered, “You know how to read minds, don’t you?”
“I don’t know how to read minds. It’s written on your face!” Simon glanced at Chester and said indifferently.
Chester was shocked again.
He thought, damn! You can’t read minds? Why do you know what I am thinking?
“I know what you are thinking. It is because I know what you are going to ask” Simon spoke again, each word sharper than the last.
Chester was completely stunned!
He thought, don’t play like this! It’s too scary!
He didn’t even say a word. He wondered, did Simon have a cheat system? How could he even be able to answer in advance?
“Then, then…” Chester stammered. He blinked and tried to make his expression normal. “Is it true?”
Otherwise, how could Simon have guessed it so accurately and even knew what Chester was going to ask?
“Yes,” After a pause, Simon looked at his depressed expression and added, “But not really.”
“What do you mean?” Chester was confused.
Chester wondered, are you trying to keep me in suspense?
“Not an engagement. It’s a marriage.”
Simon and Silvia had married in the courthouse. The wedding ceremony was just a formality. The engagement would be totally unnecessary.
At that time, when Simon told Declan about his fiancée, he couldn’t find a suitable identity to introduce Silvia, so he said that she was his fiancée. Of course, it could also be considered a message to the Austin family. Regardless of whether they agreed, the marriage was definitely set.
Before his mood could be saved, Chester was completely thrown into the abyss.
Chester wailed. “You can’t be…”
Chester thought, really? It’s actually true! He, Simon, wants to… No, he’s going to get married!
He’s crazy!
“With whom?” Chester could not help but ask.
Simon looked at him calmly, making Chester feel a little afraid.
“Can’t you say it?” Chester asked carefully, swallowing his saliva.
