“Okay, okay, I will have someone prepare western food at home that night!”
Charlie waved his hand, looked at Jemima, and smiled:
“Miss Liu is not going to take me for a walk this afternoon.”
“To show me around Hong Kong? If it is convenient, how about we have something to eat outside together at night?”
Jemima was suddenly overwhelmed by Charlie.
She firmly believed that Charlie knew the allusion behind the roast goose,
So he deliberately led her to admit it, but she did not expect that after playing tricks on her father,
He actually rounded up the matter again with her.
It was also at this moment that Jemima felt that the young man surnamed Wade in front of her was definitely not simple.
Even, she has begun to doubt Charlie’s purpose in coming to Hong Kong.
If he really came to talk about cooperation,
Why should he seize the handle of her father and stab him repeatedly?
The man seemed to have a plan to make her father uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, she also wanted to explore Charlie’s real purpose, so she said very cheerfully:
“Since Mr. Wade wants to eat out at night, then I’ll take you to try the authentic Hong Kong-style snacks.”
“Okay!” Charlie said with a smile: “A word is settled!”
Gerard finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Charlie’s smiling expression at this moment.
In fact, he is not sure whether Charlie is deliberately mocking him,
But he is reluctant to get to the bottom of it right now. According to his plan,
Just Let Charlie and Jemima get to know each other today, and then give them some private time.
Take Charlie to the company and start chatting with him about cooperation.
He thought to himself: “As long as the cooperation can be negotiated,”
“It doesn’t matter whether the surnamed Wade is mocking me or not;”
“But if the cooperation cannot be negotiated, then I will definitely not suffer from this dumb loss,”
“Since he has arrived in Hong Kong. If he wants to leave this place, he must pay the price!”
Thinking of this, he immediately said with a smile: “You two young people can eat out alone at night,
We are old, and we are not used to eating outside, so we will not join you.”
After speaking, he looked at Jemima and said, “Jemima,”
“Ask Amin to accompany you with the motorcade in the afternoon, and if anything happens, just tell him directly.”
“No need.” Jemima shook her head and said:
“I’ll drive with Mr. Wade, don’t let Amin follow us when there are too many people and I’m uncomfortable.”
After that, she looked up at Charlie and asked, “What do you think, Mr. Wade?”
Charlie knew Jemima wanted to find an opportunity in private,
So he also followed the flow and said, “Of course, I firmly support all of Miss Liu’s decisions.”
