Chapter 59: Really Something!

Chapter 59: Really Something!
Giselle’s face changed slightly as panic took over her, “Now? Are they downstairs?” She had informed the front desk at the reception to notify her in advance, but she did not expect it to happen so quickly.
Taking a look at the little girl sitting on the toilet, she said to the phone “How many people are here?” ‘Colton won’t be there, right?’
“Four executives.” ‘Four?’ She bit her lower lip, lowered her voice suddenly, and asked, “Megan, is there a young man who looks very handsome and expressionless? Wearing a gray suit with white shirt?” ‘I hope it is gray. He was too far before so not sure if it was gray or black!’
Then she pondered for a second, and then replied in a low voice, “Manager Smith, I checked them all and there is no one here who seem to match that profile, the four of them are not handsome at all.”
“…” Giselle breathed a sigh of relief and briskly said, “Okay, let them come up first.”
Putting away the phone, she waited for Zana for a few minutes before packing her up and leaving “Hungry? Eat this.” Passing by the pantry, Giselle took a bag of snacks to her. At this moment, a few people came in the direction of the elevator opposite.
“Hi, are you from Calibre Investment?” She walked over, guessing that the executives standing near her secretaries desk must be the executives from Calibre.
“Yes, hello, Manager Smith?”
Giselle generously reached out, “Hello, yes, I am Giselle from Calibre.”
When several people saw Zana, they all smiled politely, “Is this your girl? She is very cute.”
Giselle did not explain much, just smiled apologetically, “Sorry, there is no one at home at the moment, so I brought her here. She is very good and doesn’t delay my work.”
“It’s okay, it’s not easy to have a family.” Several people nodded in understanding.
Without much politeness, Giselle took them to the conference room to discuss cooperation. She has been working for a few years and dealing with executives like the men seated in front of her.
By the time the discussion was over it was already lunch time. As a host, it was only right that she invited them for lunch.
“Why don’t we go down for lunch? Let’s continue talking after lunch.” Giselle offered, closing the documents.
The executives glanced at each other and nodded, “Yeah that sounds like a good plan.”
Giselle understood her heart, turned her head and ordered to the assistant behind her, “Call the restaurant to book a private room, we will be there in about an hour.”
“Manager Smith, don’t have to be so troublesome. We were surveying the terrain nearby today and found that there is a good restaurant. Why don’t we take you there?” The person on Calibre Investment quickly interjected with a smile.
“Yes. Anyway, everyone will work here in the future and help each other.” Another executive chimed in.
Giselle hesitated, then smiled, “Okay, you can send me the location and you go down first, I will clean up here and join you immediately.”
“Ok.”
When the other party left, Giselle’s assistant looked at Zana and could not help but say, “Manager Giselle, do you want to take Zana too?”
Giselle sighed, “It’s not up for discussion isn’t it. If I don’t go, wouldn’t it be rude?”
“Then Zana… Would you like someone in our department to look after you for a while?” He chuckled.
Giselle rubbed Zana’s head and shook her head, “Except for her dad, she only feels comfortable with me now.”
After that, she glanced at him and curled her lips, “I think you are young and energetic. If you are really considerate of me, why don’t you find good restaurants for me.”
Though she knows she is pregnant she could not find a way to let the executives down with ease.
Giselle’s assistant immediately stood straight, smiled standardly, and solemnly said “Okay, manager Giselle, you can rest assured, I will complete the task you assigned me.”
“…” Giselle and her assistant went to the restaurant with the people of Calibre Investment Company. Because there is a lot of entertainment, the nearby restaurant was the one that Giselle was familiar with, and this one is no exception.
Asking for a private room, she hugged Zana and invited a few people to sit down, and then passed the menu “This restaurant has really good food, please order whatever you want.” She smiled politely.
“Manager Smith is too polite.” Several people laughed loudly.
Giselle put on a smiley face but secretly complained in her heart, you all work for a company like Calibre. This season, I really spent money to win Calibre Investment. Now that the company is so close, I won’t have to hire cab several times every month in the future?
When she decides to go back, she will make it clear to Mr. Han that she will not be involved in Calibre Investment’s business in the future. They ordered a large table of dishes, and the executives ordered two bottles of high-end red wine.
Giselle’s assistant hurriedly filled the cups, and was about to toast and touch, when the phone of someone on the other party suddenly rang “Sorry, I need to answer the phone, you guys eat.” He glanced at his phone, smiled, and hurried out.
“Miss Smith, come, I will toast you a glass.” Another politely raised the glass to her.
Giselle’s smile remained unchanged, and she raised the cup at hand and touched him lightly, “Cheers, I hope you will have a good cooperation in the future.”
Raising her head and taking a sip, she shuddered gently as the cool liquid ran across her throat. She frowned, and still resisted drinking the whole cup. Her assistant did not notice the strangeness in her expression, so he poured her another glass.
Giselle glanced at him, pursed her lips, did not speak, and lowered her head to add some food to Zana.
Two minutes later, the person who went out to answer the phone pushed the door back and watched everyone suddenly said, “Mr. Black is next door.”
Giselle’s eyelids jumped subconsciously ‘That man is really something!’
Hearing that his boss was nearby, several representatives of Calibre Investment immediately stood up and said in a somewhat unexpected manner “Next door? Did you see him?”
“Well, yes, shall we go over and say hello?”
“It is Mr. Black that we are talking about, it is not enough to go and say hello.”
Giselle felt numb in her heart, and wanted to say that she did not need to go if it wasn’t her boss, but it was obviously impossible. Even if Mr. Han would definitely run over here too, how could she sit still.
Even though she was reluctant in every possible way, she stood up with a stiff smile on her face, “Since Mr. Black is here, then I will go and say hello with you.”
As a result, the group of people did not eat much, and rushed to the private room next door. The moment she walked in, Giselle felt her heart ache.
Just two people, or two big men, used such a big private room, the rich do have a wayward way with money. Apart from Colton, there is a man of the same age in the private room. He looked completely contrast to Colton, but dressed in casual clothes. He does not look like an elite or an ordinary employee.
“Mr. Black” When the representatives of Calibre Investment saw their boss, it was almost as if they had met their father, and they immediately greeted him with an attentive smile.
“Well, why are you here?” He asked unknowingly, without any surprise on his face making it obvious that he knew very well that they were here.
“I went to Calibre to visit today, and we happened to come here for food on manager Giselle’s recommendation” Someone explained, and then gestured to Giselle who was standing behind him and introduced her “Mr. Black, this is Calibre’s Manager Smith.”
Giselle has been lowering her sense of existence, but she was pushed out unexpectedly, her expression became a little stiff, she hugged Zana in her arms, and nodded at him, “Mr. Black.”
The man looked at her calmly, his held that expressionless cold face, but he glanced at the child in her arms without any emotion, and smiled faintly, “Manager Smith is it not inconvenient to bring a child to work? It must be really hard!”
Giselle was startled slightly by his words. Hearing what he said, she knew he was not being polite, but was rather mocking her, she smiled immediately, “It is never hard to care for a child. You will understand when you become a father yourself, Mr. Black.” The man’s eyes dimmed slightly.
Calibre Investment’s people immediately joked “Mr. Black is busy with work, manager Smith so doubt he has time for children for the foreseeable future!.”
Another executive pitched in “And he doesn’t even have time to find a girlfriend.”
Giselle smiled, her eyes looked at the man who spoke as if joking, but there was a bit of mockery in her tone, “There is no need to worry about Mr. Black’s girlfriends, there is no shortage of girls who would want to marry him and wants to give him children.”
“That’s true, Mr. Black has always been the target of many women and girls, and we don’t know what kind of girl is worthy of him.”
Colton frowned and interrupted them coldly, “Okay, since you are all here, let’s sit down and eat together, it will be my treat!”
All the Managers naturally did not dare to refuse, they all sat down with a smile. Giselle was a little embarrassed when she stood there. She wanted to refuse as she felt that it was too embarrassing. If she refused, she would not hear the end of it and would be taken for a ride in her company ‘Don’t refuse!’
There was a momentary struggle, a mind battle, but she was still sensible to choose the right thing which was to sit there and have a cordial mean, a meal between colleagues!
She gestured towards her assistant and said, “Let’s ask people to bring all the food here from next door. If they can’t, then just ask them to pack it.”
The money is already spent, but she could not let it go to waste “Ok.”
After her assistant ran out, she pulled Zana closer and sat down. Fortunately, the table was relatively large, so she did not have to sit next to the man, but she happened to sit next to the other man who was dressed casually and could not get up when she realized it.
The man hadn’t spoken since they came in, he just looked at them with a pair of nice almond eyes, and glanced at her from time to time. The look in his eyes, which was clearly watching the show, made her very uncomfortable. “Miss Smith, hello, my name is Miller, Colton’s good friend.” He finally spoke with a nice voice.
Giselle stiffened slightly. He called Colton by his first name in front of her, and deliberately brought the word good friend ‘Does he know her relationship with Colton?’
“Hello.” She looked at him inquisitively, but the other party blinked at her with a wicked smile.
