The sound was annoying, no warmth.
“Half a month ago… her uncle just said she became a designer.”
His temples bulged with blue veins as he pointed a finger at the phone on the table, “I just answered a call, right? And now you’re telling me she didn’t start working here. Where is she? Huh? Tell me.”
Derrick had never seen Nelson so out of control before, his heart was pounding.
“I…I’ll go check right now!”
After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked out of the office.
Nelson glanced at the closed door, feeling more and more annoyed.
He stood with his hands on his hips and took two steps in place, then he raised his hand and knocked over a pile of documents on the table.
Paulette…!
She really wanted to go against him!
Nelson tapped his back teeth with his tongue, his eyes filled with anger. All he could think about was how to deal with that annoying girl, completely forgetting about everything else.
He picked up his phone and redialed Reuben’s number.
“Where did you see Paulette?”
Reuben was driving and blurted out the name of the private kitchen they

had just visited, “Mr. Chapman, do you need something?”

Nelson didn’t say anything, quickly went around the desk and turned on the computer. After searching, his face looked even worse. “Are you sure it’s here? Fromond doesn’t have this restaurant at all.”
Reuben was even more confused: “Mr. Chapman, this is Crireton’s restaurant.”
“What?”
“I was actually planning to meet Fromond and Paula, but isn’t she working in Crireton now? So I just came over here to find her, Mr. Chapman… What’s wrong?”
Nelson closed his eyes tightly and clenched the joints of his hand holding the mouse until they turned white.
Of course not! That’s totally wrong!
How did Paulette end up in Crireton?
Wasn’t she supposed to start working at the branch office?
Nelson still couldn’t believe it, he asked in a hoarse voice, “What’s the name of the company she works for?”
“She didn’t say that, but it seems like a startup company, can’t really compare to the Chapman Group…”
Reuben didn’t know why Nelson was asking all these questions, but he just wanted to cover all bases. Then he said, “But you know, young people, they dare to take risks and strive, which is a good thing.”
Nelson took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
He flicked his fingers, strode out with long legs, and just as he reached

the door, he ran into Patricia.
“Nelson!” she laughed, linking her arm with his, “Is this some kind of telepathy? I just arrived and you’re already here to greet me.

Nelson stopped, looked at her hand holding his for a second, and said in a deep voice, “I have something to do, you have lunch by yourself.”
“Ah…”
Patricia froze, “Didn’t we agree to try on dresses after dinner?”
“Try again another day? Hmm?” Nelson didn’t have time to explain so much to her, he pulled her hand off his arm, his tone still gentle but with a hint of firmness, “Tricia, I have important matters to attend to.”
Patricia rarely saw him so serious, and unconsciously let go of his hand.
“Are we going again tomorrow?”
Nelson thought for a moment, then didn’t directly agree, he comfortingly patted her head, “Listen, go eat first.”

After saying that, he took the first step into the elevator, his hurried footsteps as if he was going to meet someone important.
Patricia stood there watching the elevator close, then she saw Derrick rushing over. She quickly reached out and grabbed him, saying, “Why are you guys so nervous? What’s going on?”
Derrick felt nervous when she looked at him, but he knew what to say and what not to say. He helplessly said, “Ms. Carver, I have to keep work matters confidential. As for anything else… I really don’t know! You should ask Mr. Chapman!”
Patricia was really mad, but she had no other choice.

When she let go, she also gave Derrick a push and said sarcastically, “You’re as loyal as a dog from the Nelson family.”

Derrick grinned and said, “Well, I had to, since I was the one paying Mr. Chapman.”
In other words,
It’s not like you’re the one who pays me.
Patricia snorted and didn’t say anything.
Although she didn’t ask anything, she had a feeling that Nelson standing her up today was not that simple. Maybe… maybe it’s related to a woman!
Nelson went straight home after coming downstairs, but Paulette wasn’t there. He hadn’t been back for many days and had been sleeping in the company’s lounge.
I walked into the living room, and a chilly feeling hit me.
