How can this guy be so annoying?
It was okay to be annoying when he was young, but now, at this age, he was still so. Ash really doubted whether the two of them were born by the same mother.
Douglas said, “Don’t think I don’t know that you’re cursing me now. But, Ash, let me tell you, I don’t care about these things. I just want to ask you, after coming back for so long, when do you plan to go home?
Don’t you know I miss you so much?”
F**k!
He was going to throw up, okay?
This bastard. Can he be normal?
He gritted his teeth and said to Douglas, “My dear brother, please speak like a person.”
“When do you come back to inherit the family business? I are tired and want to retire,” Douglas said.
Interesting.
He suddenly thought of the situation that Douglas might be facing now, and he immediately became happy. He was no longer annoyed. Instead, he had the pleasure of being an on-looker.
Ash said, “That’s really hard work for you. But you know that I’m a scientific researcher. My talent is not in business. Our family’s business depends on you. If you really think you’re too tired, I think you can get married, have a child, train you child earlier to become your successor.”
After speaking, Ash unceremoniously hung up the phone.
It felt so good!
Ash had never been so happy before. Without thinking, he can imagine how embarrassed Douglas was now.
It made him simply too delighted.
Ash believed that he will have a good dream today.
Torres Group, Innisrial.
Douglas was sitting behind the desk, looking at the phone screen. His face was livid with anger.
In front the desk, his secretary, Martha Wilson, stood there in a neat professional suit, wearing old-
fashioned black-rimmed glasses, making her look aged.
Douglas was originally in a bad mood, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Martha dressed in black, and became even more inexplicably angry.
He threw the phone on the desk, looked at Martha, and asked, “Ms. Wilson, I want to ask you. Do you have any prejudice against my company?”
Martha replied solemnly, “Torres Group is one of the best groups in the country. It’s impeccable in every aspect. I don’t have any problems with that.”
As Douglas heard the words, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and he asked, “Then, please tell me why you dress like you’re going to a funeral every day.”
Martha didn’t respond.
There was no change on her face, and her tone of voice didn’t change at all. She still replied solemnly,
“As a secretary, my most important job is to let anyone know my professionalism. I think , I am dressed like this, so that others can focus on my ability to work, rather than my appearance, which will affect others’ judgment on my ability.”
Douglas laughed out loud when he heard this.
He looked at Martha and said, “Ms. Wilson, what do you mean by that? If you dress nicely, others will regard you as someone who has nothing but beauty?”
Martha didn’t answer, but with a serious look on her face, she recognized Douglas’ words.
This made Douglas couldn’t help laughing out loud.
He suddenly became interested, and his eyes fell on Martha’s face, looking up and down.
It was true that, seven years had passed since Martha worked as his secretary, and he had never looked at Martha’s face carefully for a moment.
Since Martha appeared in front of him seven years ago and became his secretary, she had always looked so old-fashioned and ugly.
However, it was also because of her excellent working ability that it seemed that Douglas had never noticed it.
As for Martha’s working ability, Douglas thought she was the best employee in the entire Torres Group.
However, at this moment, Douglas was interested. He really wanted to see what kind of face this woman was hiding under the black-rimmed glasses.
Douglas stood up directly and walked in front of Martha.
He raised his hand to take off Martha’s glasses, but was dodged by her.
Douglas was very unhappy, and he was annoyed that he lost the fight with his brother just now, so he lost his temper again.
He gave Martha a direct order, “Don’t move.”
Always, when she was given an order from Douglas, she executed an action.
In the past seven years, she had already formed a habit. If Douglas didn’t let her move, she really dared not do it.
And such a behavior pleased Douglas.
See? He just liked such a sensible person, unlike his brother, who pissed him off.
Douglas stopped thinking about it, raised his hand to take Martha’s glasses, and just took them off.
In the next second, Douglas met a pair of eyes as clear as water. He dared to say that these were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.
For a few seconds, Douglas even fell into her eyes, unable to recover for a long time.
Martha was actually very anxious. She wanted to grab the glasses back, but she didn’t dare.
For seven years, she had never disobeyed Douglas’ orders, and for the sake of the generous salary, she didn’t dare at all.
Finally, Douglas realized that he was in a trance, so he looked away, and his eyes fell on the glasses in his hand.
However, this made him discover a secret.
It was just a pair of clear lens glasses.
Moreover, this pair of glasses, viewed from the front, had the function to make her look ugly.
No wonder, when he saw Martha’s eyes, he felt them so beautiful.
He hadn’t found out for seven years that her eyes were so pretty. How could there be such a big contrast just by taking off the glasses?
Now it seemed that this woman did it on purpose.
She made herself look ugly on purpose.
Realizing this, Douglas was almost pissed off.
He looked at Martha again. The corners of his mouth curled up wickedly, and he said, “Ms. Wilson, you are hiding it very well.”
Martha pursed her lips tightly, not daring to speak at all.
She felt that no matter what she said now, she would be taught a lesson by Douglas.
She cheated her boss, but it didn’t hurt the interests of the company. Will this be dealt with lightly? She didn’t want to lose the well-paid job.
Martha wanted to ask Douglas, but she was afraid to say anything.
Douglas became even angrier when she looked guilty.
He directly raised his hand, landed on Martha’s face, and rubbed it vigorously, saying, “The glasses have been specially treated, so you do the same to your face?”
Originally, Douglas just wanted to scare Martha. Unexpectedly, a layer of foundation was actually rubbed off by him.
There was a fair patch on Martha’s face, which looked very smooth.
Douglas narrowed his eyes in disbelief, unable to believe that this woman really dared to fake her face.
This was not the same as plastic surgery. She just relied on the makeup to make herself look ugly.
It was just that Douglas didn’t understand how could a woman do this?
At least, among the women he knew, there was no one who didn’t want to be beautiful.
And this woman, for seven years, actually hid herself under the foundation that was about three or four shades different from her own complexion.
Douglas suddenly looked serious.
He turned and walked back behind his desk. Dialing the intercom, he let his assistant, Mario West, in.
Mario walked in quickly. Seeing Martha in the office, he was very puzzled. What happened?
Usually, when Martha was around, Douglas will never look for him.
Watching Martha suspiciously, he was also frightened by Martha who was standing in front of him.
Seeing that Mario also looked frightened, Douglas immediately felt much better.
It was okay. At least he was not the dumbest, and not the only one who was kept in the dark.
Mario still had professional quality, so he wouldn’t just exclaim here. He looked back, did not continue to stare at Martha , but looked at Douglas, asking, “Mr. Torres, what can I help you?”
“Go downstairs and find a female employee. Bring me the cleansing oil.” Douglas said.
Mario was fairly confused.
When did he know about cleansing oil?
However, since it was Douglas’ order, Mario certainly didn’t dare to hesitate, but went downstairs immediately.
He rushed directly to the PR department. At the department with the most beautiful female employees in the entire Torres Group, asking them for cleansing oil was the most foolproof.
Soon, Mario came up with three bottles of cleansing oils of different textures, along with cotton pad, facial cleanser, toner and lotion.
