Chapter 46
Vivian almost made a request to him, but the words came to her lips and she swallowed them back.
She couldn't mention it at this time, she had to be calm.
So, she had to ask about Granny Blackwood's condition instead.
“I haven't had a chance to visit Mrs. Blackwood since I returned home, so I'd like to go see her in a few days if that's okay, okay?”
Adrian furrowed his brows and refused her.
“Wait a little longer, I'm worried that it will affect her condition.”
The smile on Vivian's lips lightened a few points, still this result. For some reason, Granny Blackwood didn't seem to like her.
Because Vivian was Adrian's benefactor, Granny Blackwood treated her with all the courtesy she should have, but just very politely, purely as a benefactor only kind of. Instead, she treated Eva as if she were her own granddaughter, which made Vivian indignant.
Vivian had to nodded obediently. “Okay, I'll do whatever you say.”
There were not many days left anyway, so she did not have to rush.
Eva finished her vacation and returned to work.
She took her vacation time in a hurry, and even though she did a good job handover before she took it, the person who took over was not competent enough, and when Eva came back, she found that there were many mistakes in her work.
She just returned to her work, and then she was busy again.
There were a bunch of things waiting for her to deal with.
It was not until noon that Eva had time to stop.
In the middle, Jenny came in several times. At first, she brought Eva some coffee. Eva took a sip, and as the bitter taste spread throughout her mouth, she remembered that pregnant women shouldn't consume too much caffeine. So, she put the cup down and didn't drink any more.
When Jenny came in again, she noticed that the coffee had gone completely cold, so she said, “Eva, let me give you a new cup of coffee.”
Eva looked up from her work and said to her, “Jenny, from now on, take my coffee and replace it all with plain water.”
“Sorry?” Jenny thought she had heard wrong, “No more coffee?”
“Yeah.”
Jenny, always the talkative one, asked, “Why? If you only drink plain water, it will not refresh you, right?”
Then she realized that her words seemed too much, and she awkwardly scratching her head and said, “Sorry, Eva. I'll change to plain water for you in the future.”
“Thanks.”
After saying that, Eva lowered her head and buried herself in her work again.
After idling, Eva was tired enough to lean back in her chair and gently close her eyes.
After a few moments, her cell phone rang.
Eva took it out and looked at it. It was Adrian calling.
Eva picked up, “What is it? If it's a business matter, you can use the company phone internal line.”
Adrian paused, as if choked by her words.
A few moments later, he said in a cold voice. “It's not business. Did you have lunch? If not, come over. “
His tone was short and quick.
Eva looked at the mountain of work on her desk and wanted to refuse when she heard another voice on her phone. “Eva, I made you lunch by the way. We'll wait for you to come over.”
Eva's eyes went icy cold. “No, you guys go ahead and eat. I still have work to deal with, no need to wait for me.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
At this time, Eva saw Jenny going out, and she got up and asked, “Jenny, are you going to eat?”
“Yes. Do you want to join us?”
“Yeah, come along.”
Eva grabbed her phone and bag and followed Jenny to the company canteen.
Jenny walked beside Eva and was a little flattered, it was her first time to come to the company canteen with Eva.
She was very excited and kept looking for topics with Eva.
“Eva, are you used to eating in the canteen? If you're not used to it, we can go out to eat.”
“No need.” Eva smiled, “The canteen is quite close, so it's convenient to go back and deal with work after eating.”
Mentioning the work, Jenny instantly blamed herself, “I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I was a little more capable, I wouldn't have piled up so much work. “
Hearing the words, Eva looked at her, and did not comfort her.
When Eva and Adrian divorced, she would quit this job. She only had Jenny on hand, so when she left, she would help Jenny advance in her career.
Eva used to be lenient with Jenny, taking care of most things herself and letting her learn slowly.
Now it seemed that Jenny couldn't learn slowly.
“If you feel apologetic, then start studying for work in extra volume this afternoon.” Eva said lightly.
Jenny froze for a moment, and then nodded her head vigorously. “Okay, I will try my best.”
After that, the two of them went to line up for their meals.
When they were eating, there were many people looking at Eva and whispering.
“What's wrong with her? A president's wife actually followed everyone to the cafeteria. She doesn't think she's very pro-people, right?”
“Please, she is no longer the president's wife. The future Mrs. Blackwood is in Mr. Blackwood's office right now.”
The sound of their conversation was loud, as if they thought Eva had lost her momentum, so they deliberately said it to her.
“You are talking about Vivian Morrison, right? I saw her yesterday, she came to bring food to Mr. Blackwood yesterday, and she came today, really considerate.”
“I heard that this is the person Mr. Blackwood really wants to marry, not only good family, good-looking, more importantly, also saved Mr. Blackwood's life.”
“And someone? Nothing, the family bankruptcy, but also rely on the relationship with Mr. Blackwood, in order to enter the Blackwood Group to be a secretary.”
Eva listened quietly to all these comments.
When she heard the last sentence, she even had a point of agreement.
Her family indeed couldn't really help Adrian with anything in the business.
Jenny, who was sitting across the table, couldn't listen anymore and heavily put down her fork heavily, “These people are too much, I'm going to find them!”
After saying that, Jenny stood up in a rage.
At this time, Eva said indifferently, “Don't go.”
Eva's tone was light, but the words carried a lot of weight, “Sit down.”
