Johan looked at her and smiled, "Okay."
"Cough cough......"
At this moment, Lambert suddenly started to cough dryly.
Sitting beside him, Beverly asked anxiously, "Lambert, what's wrong?"
Lambert shook his head lightly, moved his arm a little, and said in a somewhat weary voice, "I stayed up late reading documents last night."
"No wonder you look so tired. Let me give your shoulders a massage!" Beverly said understandingly and eagerly.
Lambert declined politely, "No need, having Ari is enough, cough cough cough......"
He coughed a few more times after he was done speaking.
Upon hearing this, Ariana, seeing Lambert indeed showing signs of weariness, gently said to Lambert's assistant, "Assistant Hills, the Vice President was busy till late last night. You are a man, your hand strength is a bit stronger, and the massage will be more effective."
Assistant Hills shivered when he suddenly heard his name.
Everybody knew, Lambert was clearly declining Beverly's offer and was seeking Ariana's help. But she had straight away passed it on to someone else.
As expected, Lambert’s complexion darkened instantly. However, she still lowered her eyes and continued reading the documents in her hand, as if she didn't see it.
Everyone was eagerly watching, they were a bit baffled by Ariana's composed demeanor.
Assistant Hills for a moment also didn't know what to do, he had no choice but to steel himself for the task, only to be waved off by Lambert.
"All right, let's end the meeting!"
Everyone hurriedly ran away, leaving behind this "battlefield".
Beverly could see that Lambert's mood had worsened due to Ariana, and his face had become somewhat gloomy. "Lambert...how about..."
Lambert reached out and took Beverly's hand. "Come out with me for some fresh air."
"Huh? Okay!"
Beverly nearly failed to react, hearing that Lambert actually intended to take her out. She couldn't help but break into a smug smile.
Ariana saw that Lambert actually held Beverly's hand, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Then she saw Lambert pull Beverly straight out of the office. In the end, Beverly smirked back at her.
Beverly thought Ariana was foolish, playing too hard with the delaying tactic, which would make a man lose interest.
Lambert never lacked women. Cats who are well-fed and drunk are always picky about food, but if they can't get enough to eat, they won't be picky anymore.
After the two had left, Ariana and Johan were the only people left in the large conference room.
Johan showed a strange look after witnessing Lambert leading Beverly away in front of Ariana. "Don't take it too seriously. He is probably mad at you."
Ariana collected her resources, and calmly responded, "It's nothing."
She didn't believe that Lambert would actually take Beverly for a ride. In the past, Lambert showed no interest in Beverly, how could he suddenly want to hang out with her? It must be because he knows she dislikes Beverly, and intentionally wants to provoke her.
