Sir Please Mellow Down A Bit Chapter 373
Chapter 373 Not Willing to Concede
Hank frowned. He knew that Lyra had always wanted to study abroad. She had been planning this matter some time ago. But now, the various jobs of the Jones Group were on the right track, and the company needed someone to take care of it. It was impossible for her to leave. "It's different this time. The college has sent an invitation letter to her."
When Keith said this, Hank's face instantly sank. Then this would be difficult. Back then, when Lyra wanted to go overseas to study, it was canceled halfway because she married him and had to stay at home to be a full-time housewife. Now, the college that she had dreamed of had taken the initiative to throw out an olive branch.
Perhaps, she would be moved. After all, the Jones Group had not fully developed yet, if... A bold idea immediately appeared in his mind, "Keith, think of a way to investigate the situation again. If there are any changes, immediately tell me." Keith nodded and just responded with an 'Okay'. The door closed.
Keith stood at the door and sighed silently. Was it really okay for his president to lock himself in his room? The next morning, everyone gathered in the main hall of the hotel. The manager of BK led the team to visit their company's latest investment. "Driving takes more than an hour, and the whole journey is a mountain road. You guys need to go separately with four people in one car..." After distributing the car keys, Lyra waited outside, but she did not expect that she, Hank, and Xuanze got the same car. The rest of the people's eyes immediately focused on the three of them. Lyra looked at the two people in front of her who were like a wall and immediately said, "Can we change the car?" The people who were watching them all looked away. Those two were obviously interested in Lyra. If anyone dared to agree to change cars with Lyra, wouldn't they offend the two big shots on the spot? "You drive."
"You drive."
The two spoke at almost the same time.
But now, the key was in Hank's hands. Xuanze immediately went around to the other side and got in the car. Keith stood not far away from the door and wanted to follow him. "Mr. Barnwell, do you want me to drive?" "You stay. There are more important things for you to do." "Don't worry, Mr. Barnwell. I'll definitely get to the bottom of it," said Keith. "Miss Su, what do you plan to do in a while?" Keith asked as he watched the convoy leave.
"Me? Go back to my room and rest,"
Su Yuan said before turning to enter the elevator. "Hey, it's such a good time to rest. Aren't you going to take a walk around?" Keith hurried to catch up. At this time, in the car. Hank was dring the car, and Xuanze and Lyra were talking about cooperation behind. "The star-level project from before was indeed not bad. There is another..."
"Not bad?" Hank chuckled. "Mr. Evans, your vision is too shallow. A project of that level can't be put on the table at all." Xuanze's eyes shook slightly. He nodded and said, "What Mr. Barnwell said makes sense."
No matter how much Hank opposed his words, Xuanze was very calm and steady. After a few rounds, Hank admitted that he lost. When the car arrived at its destination, his face was completely gloomy. He did not want to stay for another second, so he pushed open the car door and got out. The moment the car door closed, Lyra sighed indiscernibly. It just so happened that it fell into the eyes of Xuanze, who was looking at her. The man said gently, "Miss Jones, I have hesitated for a long time to say this." "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Evans, but I don't think anything can solve my problem." Xuanze looked at her, his thin lips slowly opening and closing. "Don't do things that you will feel sorry about." How could Lyra not know this?
But she really could not find a reason to change her mind. She was not stupid. She
could see everything that Hank had done, but she could not accept him. She would never be able to accept him. "Mr. Evans, thank you for your reminder, but I may really have no other choice." Lyra smiled bitterly, pushed open the car door, and got out.
She had to make a choice as soon as possible, but the truth was that there seemed to be only one choice left for her. This kind of helplessness was something that the man would never understand. When visiting this project, Lyra found the vice president of BK, Mr. Hu. After expressing her regret and apology, she left the hotel room that night and returned by plane.
The rest of the meeting arrangements would be attended by Su Yuan in her place. It was during the conversation with Mr. Hu that she learned that the application that the Jones Group had submitted to BK had been rejected. It was only because Hank had privately mentioned the Jones Group to them that she had the chance to participate in this meeting. Lyra sat in the cabin, the emotions between her brows getting heavier and heavier. Everything Hank had done to her was just an apology. However, that scar had long been unhealable.
Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, it was impossible for them to return to the past. When Hank heard this news, Lyra's plane was about to land.
The man's face became colder and colder. His heart, which was originally holding some kind of hope, completely fell to the bottom of the valley. "Mr. Barnwell, Ms. Jones definitely did not leave because she wanted to hide from you. Perhaps, there is something wrong with the Jones Group." Keith could only comfort his president like this. Hank looked out of the window at the sea view. His fingers were tightly clasped in his palms, cracking. He was not the kind of person who would insist on pestering. Since this was what she wanted, he could grant her freedom. "Keith, what are the arrangements for tomorrow's meeting?" Keith was stunned. He was already prepared to book a plane ticket for Hank. Hearing this, he was a little slow. Then he replied, "To continue to discuss the direction of the investments for the first half of next year." "Okay, you can get off work now."
In the living room of the Kensley family. Huaien looked at the father and daughter of Kensley family in front of him and smiled deeply. "You don't have to worry so much. Although the Barnwell group's movements during this period of time are not very clear, it is certain that Hank will not casually attack Kensley Group." "Really?" "!, I thought he already knew everything. At that time..." Lachlan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "Go back to your room first. We have something serious to talk about." He glanced at Alma.
"Then Second Uncle, I'll go up first." Alma nodded. She had always called Huaien this way. She was used to it. However, today, Alma's heart kept beating fast. She felt that Huaien looked at her strangely today. She pushed open the door and immediately closed it. However, it was not completely closed. She opened a small crack. She could still vaguely hear the conversation in the living room. She had to make plans for her life. After this period of time, she recognized that she was not the apple of her father's eye. He just wanted to rely on her to get to know other companies. Now that Hank didn't want her, Terry was not reliable. In the future, she... Alma held the door with her hand, secretly sad. How could there be such a cruel father in this world?
However, the voice coming from the living room made her completely stunned.
