Chapter 181 What Kind of Look Is That?
Mary's arrogance was off the charts. Alvin had to find a way to put her in her place, or she would run wild!
"Hello?" Michael answered.
Alvin exaggerated Mary's behavior and then smoothly suggested, "Michael, maybe Mary’s ego inflated after landing the Henry Group project. I'm stuck and need your help. What should I do?"
Michael asked, "Did she take leave?"
Alvin replied, "Yes, she did."
Michael continued, "Then what's the problem?"
Alvin was stunned and mused, 'That's it? Michael isn't going to hold her accountable or fire her? What is going on?'
Alvin was at a loss. "Michael, this..."
Michael said, "She hasn't made any major mistakes that caused the company any loss. If she's off, she must have a legit reason. If you can't handle such a small matter, why are you even in that role?"
Alvin was shocked and quickly said, "Michael, I understand. I will handle it. Sorry to bother you!"
He hung up quickly.
He thought Mary had fallen out of favor and Michael would punish her. But instead, he got scolded!
Alvin thought, 'Could Mary still be in favor?
Then why did Michael tell Mary to back out of the Henry Group project?'
Alvin was puzzled, but he knew he couldn’t target Mary anymore, or he might lose his job.
Robert smiled at Mary, "Thinking of quitting and working for me?"
Mary smiled, "Not planning to quit yet, but if things get unfair, I might."
Robert laughed. "How straightforward you are! I like it."
He looked at her with affectionate eyes, but Mary, thinking about Laura being kidnapped, didn't notice.
Robert felt a sense of defeat.
Sitting across from Mary, he noticed her mind was elsewhere.
Robert wondered, 'What is she thinking about?Matthew?
Matthew is such a jerk, why think about him?'
Robert felt irritated, and just then, the dishes started arriving.
Mary collected her thoughts, picked up her utensils, ready to chow down, only to clock Robert just sitting there, eyeballing her without a peep.
Mary paused. "Robert, what's wrong?"
Robert suddenly lost his appetite. She could focus on food, but when it came to him, she thought about another man?
Robert said, "I suddenly lost my appetite."
Mary’s expression became serious. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Need to go to the hospital?"
Robert was silent, feeling suffocated and more irritable.
Couldn't Mary read the room?
Mary put down her fork. "Robert, let me take you to the hospital."
Robert said, "No need, go ahead and chow down.. I have my appetite back."
Mary thought, 'Is Robert really okay? The way he looked, was he sure he didn’t need to see a doctor?'
Seeing Mary's strange look, Robert squinted his eyes. "What are you looking at?"
Now Mary was staring at him, but what kind of look was that?
