After knowing Who She Is They Kneeled novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122

Annelise said calmly, “He’s on a business trip.”

Auntie Zhang actually became her ally at this point: “Madam Whitman, I can vouch for her. Annelise isn’t lying about this. I saw him get in the car with my own two eyes. And what a nice car it was!

Six million!”

Annelise didn’t connect the six million with a Maybach.

She was now texting her ridiculously handsome patient.

The message was simple: I need to borrow you for a bit.

The handsome patient: ?

?

?

Annelise: I’ll explain later.

The handsome patient: Okay.

With his permission, Annelise felt at ease.

Madam Whitman, however, was worried: “He’s that well-off… Annelise, won’t you be… taken advantage of if you’re with him?”

Annelise said decisively, “He listens to me.”

Madam Whitman chuckled, “That’s good, that’s good!”

Seeing this, Annelise was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

But then Madam Whitman added, “I don’t know, something still feels off. How long have you two known each oth- er?”

Annelise’s expression didn’t change. “It was love at first sight for him.”

Auntie Zhang clapped her hands. “That makes sense! With our Annelise’s looks, who wouldn’t fall for her?”

Madam Whitman wasn’t so easily fooled. “But I’ve never seen him come look for you.”

Annelise shook her phone. “We only talk online.”

Auntie Zhang jumped in to help, “Oh, I get it! Video calls, right?

That’s how all the young people date these days!”

Annelise smiled faintly, thinking, Auntie Zhang, if you know what to say, please say more.

Madam Whitman thought for a moment. “Then give him a video call right now.”

What an unexpected move.

Annelise tried a stalling tactic: “Should I ask if he’s free?”

Madam Whitman nodded, her eyes full of expectation.

Auntie Zhang did too.

Annelise sent a text: Are you free for a video call right now?

(smiley face)

When he saw that emoji, he’d definitely know she wanted him to say no. This was a sure thing.

But he didn’t play by the rules.

The handsome patient: I am.

Madam Whitman was overjoyed. “He says he’s free!”

Annelise:…I can’t believe this backfired!

Her handsome patient seemed so smart, how could he not get such an obvious hint?

Auntie Zhang urged her, “Annelise, hurry up and call.”

Annelise: …

Whatever, I’ll just call. He’s the one who said he was free anyway.

Annelise raised her hand and pressed the video call button.

He picked up almost immediately.

An image appeared on her phone.

The man was in a dark suit, sitting in a sheepskin chair, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. His eyes were deep-set, intelligent and ascetic, with an indescribable air of noble handsomeness. Behind him was a large projection screen, and to his right, a massive floor-to-ceiling window.

The location looked like the top floor of a skyscraper, and you could even see landmark buildings of the financial dis- trict outside the window.

“You’re in a meeting?”

Annelise raised an eyebrow. “I’ll call back later then.”

Adrian, looking refined and handsome, said with a smile in his voice, “No need, we’re on a break.”

A break?

?

?

The people in the conference room didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

288 Vouchers

But in any case, they were incredibly grateful to the person on the other end of the call. She had practically saved their lives!

Before this call came in, none of them were sure if they would be the next person their boss dealt with.

Adrian lifted his gaze and swept it across the long table, the meaning in his eyes…

Enough to make several office managers quietly pack up and leave…

But who on earth had that kind of magic, to make even Mr. Winthrop’s eyes soften so much?

“You’re not bothering me. My colleagues have all stepped out.”

Through the crack in the door, they could faintly hear that pleasant, deep voice.

Ruby even thought their boss had undergone a Spirit Possession-that terrifying Mysterious Eastern Magic!

Adrian stood up from his executive chair in black slacks and a black shirt, collar slightly open. Looking at Annelise through the screen, he seemed even more aloof and handsome. “Go ahead.”
