Chapter 109: I Heard Your Assistant Say You're Buying High-End Children's Furniture?
For the remainder of the day, Violet spent time with the children. They tried and played with everything in the park. It was a way to compensate for the lack of maternal love they had experienced for almost a year. The two little ones had a great time today. By 3:30 in the afternoon, they were exhausted and fell asleep in Violet and Hellen's arms. Glancing at the time, Violet saw that evening was approaching, so she and Hellen each carried a child and headed home. The paternity test would take a week. All she had to do this week was wait for the results. Regardless of the outcome, the matching probability with Brady’s DNA would definitely be negative. She didn't need to be too nervous.
The next day, Violet woke up early and breastfed the two babies. She instructed Hellen to feed them formula milk at noon. She planned to gradually reduce the amount of breastfeeding and eventually wean them completely.
After feeding them, Violet tidied herself up, put on a pencil skirt, and hurried downstairs to catch the bus to work. As she ran to the bus stop, Violet worried that Mr. Green might suddenly appear and ambush her again. Fortunately, it didn't happen today. Furthermore, her trip to the company went surprisingly smoothly. Nothing out of the ordinary occurred.
When she reached the building, she clocked in. Just as Violet returned to her desk, before even warming her office chair, Max approached carrying his briefcase. "Violet, come with me," he said. "Mr. Green, where to?" Violet stood up and asked curiously. But as soon as she asked, she realized that she had forgotten about going to discuss wedding gown designs with Arthur Stanley.
"Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday that you will be designing Gosh's wedding gown?" Max spoke in his usual gentle tone.
"I remember," she replied. She hadn't forgotten; it just slipped her mind a moment ago.
"Let’s go, Gosh is waiting," Max said, not wanting to waste any time. After all, Gosh’s social status was not low, and they couldn’t afford to be negligent.
"So early?" Violet hurriedly grabbed her bag and followed Max out. From her understanding, don't CEOs of these big families only arrive at the office after 9 a.m.? It was only around 8:30 a.m. now. "The CEO's time is precious, just like our President Gu," Max mentioned without bringing up Brady Hall. But the moment he did bring it up, Violet awkwardly smiled and remained silent.
The meeting place with Arthur Stanley was at a luxurious restaurant where he was eating breakfast. Violet thought he seemed quite relaxed as she and Max approached his table. They waited for Max to be seated. Violet attentively listened to Arthur and Max discuss some design options. Violet hadn't had much contact with Arthur, but she had heard that he had a good reputation. He wasn't as cold and intimidating as rumors suggested. Now that she was interacting with him, it seemed to be true.
As they enjoyed looking at the exquisite breakfast with the full set of cutlery on the table, Arthur encouraged them to order some food. Max and Violet politely declined with gratitude. After chatting with Max for a while, Arthur took a sip of strong coffee and said, "Later on, CEO Gu will also come to dine. I hope you don't mind?"
"No, why would I mind?" Max certainly didn't mind. He couldn't wait to have more interaction with CEO Gu, especially because CEO Gu was someone that the average person couldn't meet! However, Violet furrowed her brow. Why did they have to invite him for breakfast? But then she thought about it. Their relationship was good, so it was a common occurrence to have breakfast together. She wasn't surprised, just slightly uncomfortable.
These past few days, she hadn't really wanted to see Brady. But today, it seemed unavoidable. However, if she could finalize the fashion print design early and leave before he arrived, Violet immediately interrupted Max and spoke directly to Arthur Stanley, "Mr. Stanley, can I have a word in private with Miss Plahn about the wedding gown?"
Arthur raised his dark gaze and looked at this Miss Devereux. She was from the Devereux family, once acclaimed as the number one beauty in New York. "Miss Devereux, there's no need to rush. When your CEO arrives, you can discuss it together."
What was there to discuss with him? He didn't understand design, did he? Violet really couldn't understand Arthur’s thinking. After Arthur finished speaking, Brady arrived, looking noble and aloof; wearing a blazer, with a white shirt and black trousers. His handsome face and long legs immediately caught the attention of numerous female customers as he walked into the restaurant.
Of course, as soon as this man entered, he quickly noticed Violet sitting over there. His gaze first seemed to freeze, then slowly made his way over. He sat next to Arthur, and the nearby waiter immediately poured him water and served him his meal, fawning over him.
"Why are you so late today?" Arthur asked Brady.
Brady calmly replied, "Had some matters to attend to." As he spoke, his gaze fell on Violet, watching her not making eye contact with him.
Brady and Arthur were discussing their matters. They treated Max and Violet as if they were invisible.
Max thought it wouldn't be appropriate to disturb the two CEOs while they were chatting, so he tactfully fawned over Violet, pouring her a glass of concentrated fruit juice. Violet was just thinking of drinking some water to ease the feeling of being intimidated by Brady sitting opposite her.
Just as she took a sip, Arthur twirled his finger on the glass in front of the table and smiled, saying, "I heard from your assistant that you are customizing children's furniture? What do you need that for? You don't even have a wife!"
Of course, after Brady finished speaking, Max had no reaction. The CEO's involvement in customizing children's furniture had nothing to do with him.
It was Violet who was taken aback. Unable to control herself, the juice she had just taken a sip of sprayed out directly as a result of Arthur’s words. At the same time, it sprayed all over the handsome face of Brady.
