Chapter 120 Pacify the CEO
With a disgusted look, Brandon kicked the things on the ground away. Diana looked at them in disbelief and said, "No, no, Brandon wouldn't do this to me. I saved his life, I'm his benefactor!" Losing everything at once, Diana felt like she couldn't take it anymore. She had grown accustomed to living in this mansion and having so many servants to attend to her, but now everything was going to be taken away. What was she going to do in the future?
Meanwhile, Brandon quickly returned to the mansion. Victoria was sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for him. As soon as he entered, his gaze settled on Victoria's face. "Well done, Grayson has been bought off by you. I didn't know when you became so good at winning people over," he said.
Victoria looked at him calmly, knowing he would be angry. "I told you earlier, Diana fell down on her own to frame me. Do you believe me now?" she said.
Brandon gritted his teeth and said, "You went to great lengths to clear your name."
"No one wants to be falsely accused. I didn't do anything, but you insist on blaming me," Victoria replied.
Brandon's face darkened as he thought about how he had been deceived by Diana for so long. His eyes became even darker. "I don't want to see you today," he said, brushing past Victoria and heading inside.
Victoria watched him enter the room and sneered to herself. This man still thinks he has face to lose? He's always so domineering, never believing anyone but himself. Now he knows, the world of women is just as deep as any other! But Victoria still obediently went back to her room. She didn't want to provoke him when he was so angry.
The next morning, Victoria was eating breakfast alone outside when Brandon came out. His face wasn't much better than the night before. He saw the amount of food in front of Victoria and frowned.
"You have quite the appetite,"
he remarked.
Victoria was still chewing and her words were muffled. "You said I needed to improve my health, so I'm eating more to do that."
Brandon sneered and walked out.
Victoria ignored him and continued eating. She wanted to gain weight so that no one would notice her belly.
Brandon was very irritable all day in the office. Elijah spoke up from behind, "Sir, Miss Evans has moved out of the villa and cleared out all her belongings. She has also clarified with everyone that she has no relationship with you. She's a medical student, but she hasn't been attending classes for the past six months and has been suspended from school."
"From now on, don't mention that name to me again," Brandon said.
"Um..." Elijah didn't dare to speak and quickly retreated.
During the meeting, Brandon was also not in a good mood.
When Victoria arrived at the company, the people there looked at her with some suspicion, but Yesenia was surprised to see that she had arrived safely. "Victoria, are you okay?"
"What's wrong?" Victoria asked, looking at her with a shocked expression.
"Nothing... it's just that you offended Brandon's woman... and even killed his child..."
Victoria was speechless. So, Yesenia was worried that she had already been taken care of by Brandon!
"It's not true. Diana was lying. She's now facing the consequences of her actions. You should hear about it soon. That child wasn't even Brandon's."
Yesenia suddenly realized, "I knew it. How could she have Brandon's child? Brandon is such a powerful figure. How could he be interested in Diana and even have a child with her? Only a celestial being could give birth to Brandon's child!"
Victoria almost burst out laughing.
Well, she might as well be shameless and pretend to be a celestial being.
She couldn't help but touch her stomach.
At that moment, Elijah urgently called her.
"Madam, help me please...,"
Victoria said.
"What's wrong?"
"Can you please help me calm down Mr. Brandon? He's been throwing tantrums during the meeting and two executives have already been fired today. If this continues, the employees will start to have opinions."
"Is it true that his tantrums can affect the company?" Victoria asked, trying to be more realistic.
Brandon, being a wise CEO, wouldn't take his anger out on the company. If that were the case, how could the company have achieved such success?
Elijah begged, "Please, if Mr. Brandon gets any worse, you won't see me again. He's about to fire me... I have a family to support and a mortgage to pay. Please help me..."
"Okay, okay, what do you want me to do?" Victoria couldn't stand his begging.
"Mr. Brandon hasn't had a proper meal all day... Can you make him some food and bring it to him?"
Victoria cursed in her heart. Who was he to ask her to cook for him? She was afraid she might poison the food. But seeing Elijah's desperation, she reluctantly agreed.
She went home and cooked four dishes and a soup for Brandon, carefully packed it in a food container, and thought to herself that he deserved it for believing in Diana. She was probably exposed by now and he was just throwing a tantrum out of embarrassment.
In the end, if she didn't know about this, he might not be so angry. He was more angry at her. Reluctantly, Victoria personally brought the food box to his office to make amends.
Thinking like this, Victoria carried the food box and arrived at the lobby of the Huan Yu Building. The people at the door who recognized her were very surprised.
"Engineer Griffin, it seems that we are not meeting with Qing Yu today. What is this you're carrying... it looks like a food box."
"I'm here to see Brandon,"
Victoria said.
The person at the door was shocked and wondered if the food box was for President Duncan. Was Engineer Griffin trying to get close to President Duncan? But bringing food was too cliché. Besides, how could President Duncan agree to see her?
"Engineer Griffin, you are very talented and beautiful, but... our President Duncan doesn't entertain women. Really, please don't..."
"..."
Victoria was speechless. "What are you thinking? I'm not here to please him. I..."
Fortunately, Elijah hurried down at this moment.
"Miss Griffin, you're here. Come in quickly," said the person at the door.
Victoria gave a dry laugh and replied, "I'll go in first."
The person at the door was stunned. What was going on? Did Engineer Griffin know Elijah?
Was she trying to get close to President Duncan through Elijah?
But how could Elijah let someone in without President Duncan's permission...
Could it be that she was already close to succeeding?
