âMr. Winters, this way please.â After Serene snapped out of her daze, she immediately led Duke into the meeting room. Adina was reading the document in the meeting room. When she heard the noise, she smiled faintly and stood up. âMr. Winters, please have a seat.â Duke pulled out a chair and sat down. Then, Serene immediately went out to get some coffee. âWhy are you here alone, Mr. Winters?â
she asked in surprise. She thought that Mr. Garcia would tag along, or Duke would come with Trent and Eilam. She did not expect Duke to be there by himself. Duke raised his eyebrows indifferently.
âWhy? Do you want to meet Trent?â
Adina was speechless. Could this man speak nicely?
She sat in her chair and pushed the document over. âThis is the direction of the new design, which I set after my previous discussion with Mr. Garcia. Mr. Winters, please take a look and give your comments.â
But Duke did not flip the document open.
âIâm not here to talk about work today,â he said stoically.
âWhat do you want to talk about then?â Adina rested her chin on her hand and attempted to ask, âIs it related to Harold?â Duke shook his head. âWas your company website attacked by a hacker at 11.00 pm last night?â Adina narrowed her eyes. She schooled her expression and asked, âWhy? Do you know who did Duke pursed his lips.
Although he did not want to admit it, he had no other choice. It was Georgeâs fault.
As a father, he had to apologize for his sonâs misdeed.
âMy son attacked your company website. Iâll compensate you for all the losses that heâs caused to your company,â he said in a deep voice. Adinaâs eyes were filled with confusion. âHaroldâs a hacker?â âIt wasnât him. It was my eldest son, George.â Duke responded in the same deep voice. As soon as he said that, Adina remembered who George was. Georgeâs eldest son was a genius, and he was already the confirmed heir of Winters Corporation When Duke talked about George the other day, his words seemed to imply that Georgeâs intelligence was much higher than Aldenâs.
No wonder the companyâs server was in a mess.
It looked like Georgeâs hacking skills were comparable to Aldenâs. âGeorge might have misunderstood you, so he attacked your company website. Iâd like to apologize to you on his behalf.â
Duke stared at Adina and spoke seriously. However, Adina smiled faintly. âDoes he know that youâre apologizing for him?â Duke understood what she was trying to say. He held back his imposing aura and slowly said, âHe should really apologize for his mistake, but Iâd like to apologize for my own fault as well. I didnât educate my son well.â Adina gave him a firm look It felt like she was getting to know this man all over again. Mr. Winters was always noble and frightening when everyone in Sea City mentioned him, but he had actually apologized to her. She thought nothing in the world could make him lower his head.
She chuckled. âOkay, I accept your apology.â
Duke slowly said, âIâll give George a call and get him to apologize to you personally.â
Adina leaned back in her chair and did not oppose it. She was also interested in that child genius who was as intelligent as Alden.
