Chapter 280 You Are Having a Fever
Time passed quickly. A week slipped away in the blink of an eye. What happened to the HarrisonGroup also slowly faded out of the public's vision.
Although the crisis had gradually calmed down, Stefan was still in a coma.
By the end of the week, Jimmy had gone to kindergarten.
The little boy had been upset, for his daddy didn't escort him to the kindergarten.
As time passed by, Martha felt that it is not the right way to keep it from Jimmy. After all, a lie wouldbe exposed sooner or later.
She wanted to tell him the truth, but she just never found the right time to do it.
Since she was the acting president of the Harrison group, she had been busy and always workedlate into the night this week.
After she was appointed, Eden had been on hand to assist her in dealing with affairs.
Otherwise, with her just taking over the group, and Stefan's falling into a coma, she really couldn'tmake up her mind on a lot of major business.
Martha was also clear that the reason why she could hold this position and beat Giana this time wasbecause of the share transfer agreement.
At this moment, the slightest mistake she made would be caught by Giana. She would definitelymake a big fuss over it and even hold a general meeting of shareholders to impeach her.
In that case, all her and Eden's efforts would be in vain.
One day when Martha was still working late in the Harrison Group, her mobile phone suddenly rangharshly.
Looking at Louis' name on the phone, she was slightly stunned and picked up the call, confused.
The minute she picked up the phone, Louis' deep voice reached her
"Dear Miss Doyle, this is Louis. Do you have time now?"
"Yes, but I wonder what Mr. Caesar wants to see me about."
Martha rubbed her temples, exhausted, and asked the question, puzzled.
Louis on the other side of the phone curled his thin lips into a slight smile.
"I took the liberty of calling today to ask my muse if she would like to have dinner with me tonightand talk about that collaboration we mentioned earlier."
Martha, who was sitting in the office, brightened when she heard the news. It was until then that sheremembered they still had construction cooperation about Headow Complex.
There had been so much going on that she had been so busy with the Harrison Group's businessthat she had forgotten all about Louis.
The next second, Louis' gentle voice interrupted Martha's thoughts.
"Miss Doyle, are you still there?"novelbin
Martha's hand that was holding the phone tightened. She answered immediately.
"I happen to be free this evening, and I wonder where Mr. Caesar wants to go for dinner?"
"No. 18 East Street, I will wait for you there."
Louis said this and hung up the phone.
Martha raised her hand to check the time and stood up to go to the appointment.
But the minute she stood up, her body shook and there was a dizzying sensation in her mind. Herhand that was on the table unconsciously clenched the desk.
After a long time, she felt much better. She slowly went out, took her coat, and put it on.
Half an hour later, by the time Martha entered the restaurant, Louis had already taken a seat andwas waiting for her.
When Martha walked in, she sensed the unusual atmosphere inside the restaurant.
Knowing that it was a lover's restaurant and seeing that Louis was sitting in a single booth, shesensed something weird.
She could not help picturing in her mind the first time she met Louis.
At that time, Louis publicly gave her the last lot in the auction and expressed his love for her.
And now, he asked her to have dinner here. She was afraid that Louis still had other intentions.
On her way to Louis' booth, Martha thought for a long time and finally came up with a solution.
Smiling, she paused beside the booth and said softly, "Mr. Caesar, it seems this is not theappropriate environment for business. Why don't we have dinner somewhere more elegant? Mytreat."
"I like it here."
Louis smiled at Martha. When he saw Martha's slight frown, he asked.
"Don't you like it here, or do you have other scruples?"
Martha frowned even more.
Then she shook her head slightly and sat down opposite Louis.
As soon as she sat down, Louis' gentle sympathetic voice followed.
"I saw what happened to you on the news. There are always some people on the Internet full ofmalicious speculation about others. Don't take it to heart."
"I'm fine."
Martha smiled and answered politely.
Louis nodded. His thin lips parted again. "Everything will be all right."
He did not want to comment too much on Stefan's vegetative state, nor did he want to interfere withMartha's thoughts.
Martha, who was sitting opposite him, nodded gently and turned her eyes down to the menu.
Soon, the two of them ordered food.
At dinner, Louis looked at Martha and said, "About the greening of Headow Complex, we want tobuild a large scale of green belt in front of the community. What do you think?"
Martha put down her fork, thought carefully, and gave her opinion.
"Personally, I think it's a good idea. If there is an isolation of green belt, and owners can rest with aquieter environment."
"Exactly. I just don't know if there should be an amusement park in the neighborhood."
As he was cutting the steak, Louis asked what he was struggling with.
Martha nodded slightly. When she thought of Jimmy, the corners of her mouth curved up into aslight smile.
"I think you should consider this proposal, after all, many families living in the community must havechildren."
Next, the two people discussed in detail about other construction issues in the community.
By the time they had finished talking, dinner was finished.
When Martha finished her meal and turned to pick up her bag and stood up, she felt dark and dizzyagain.
She jerked, her hands not grasping anything to hold her. The next minute, she was falling to theground.
Just then, Louis strode forward and grabbed Martha's arm to keep her from falling to the ground.
Martha eased for a while until the dizziness slowly disappeared and her consciousness came back.
The man standing beside her held her up and touched her forehead with concern.
The minute his big hand met her forehead, Martha stepped back to avoid the touch.
Louis had a slight frown on his face. He said with a serious tone.
"You are having a fever."
Martha took a couple of steps back, holding Louis at arm's length, and then answered with a senseof indifference, "It's okay. I guess I didn't rest well."
The man turned serious. He looked at her worriedly.
Martha saw his worry but didn't feel anything. Instead, she felt something was wrong.
She had always felt that Louis cared too much about her...
