Chapter 73

Susan nodded and slowly sat down.

Timothy hesitated for a moment before saying, “Susan, I’m sorry, but Yana…”

“How’s the project going?” Susan directly opened the documents, indicating that she only wanted to get down to business.

well.

Timothy had no choice but to sit down as w “As for the progress, there is still a lot of time. We have discussed the previous improvement proposal and already…”

In the CEO’s office.

Ben was still engrossed in the review written by Susan.

The more he read it, the more pleased he became.

He couldn’t help but ask his secretary to come over.

“I feel that Mrs. Landor is still unsatisfied. Tell her I can give her a chance to write another 800 words.”

The secretary was dumbfounded.

He asked in his heart, “Mr. Landor, are you sure you won’t annoy Mrs. Landor?”

“Hurry up,” Ben urged.

The secretary could do nothing but go to see Susan.

However, he returned soon.

Ben looked at him in surprise and asked, “She has finished it so quickly? Does Mrs. Landor have so much inspiration?”

Thinking of this, Ben even felt a little excited.

The secretary’s mouth twitched. He replied, “Mr. Landor, Mrs. Landor is seeing a guest. It’s inappropriate for me to disturb her.”

“A guest? Who?” Ben asked with a frown.

The secretary said, “It’s Mr. Leen from Shining Tech. Shining Tech won the bid for the previous project.

Mrs. Landor is in charge of this project, so she has to deal with it at any time.”

“Mr. Leen from Shining Tech…” Ben said through gritted teeth, “Timothy Leen?”

Though the secretary could sense Ben’s weird tone, he didn’t know what had happened, so he just nodded and replied truthfully, “Yes.”

Ben sprang to his feet and said, “Postpone the following video conference! I’m going to see the guest with Mrs. Landor!”

Ben said as he gnashed his teeth.

The secretary was a little bemused.

It was true that Shining Tech had been developing rapidly over the years, but the secretary didn’t think it was necessary for Mr. Landor to intervene personally.

However, Ben had no intention of explaining and only left right away.

The secretary could only scratch his head and make relevant arrangements for Ben.

“Here, I think there are a few problems with your ideas. If you can improve this…”

While Susan was speaking, the conference room’s door was suddenly pushed open.

Timothy and Susan both looked at the door in surprise.

Then, they saw Ben standing at the door with an expressionless face.

Ben was perplexed.

Susan exclaimed in her heart as she stood up nervously at once.

She felt Ben was strange today, which made her panic.

“Mr. Landor,” Timothy greeted as he stood up as well.

Ben walked over indifferently and sat down beside Susan before he said, “Please continue. I’m just here to take a look.”

Susan was dumbfounded.

MMMM Timothy also fell silent..

45% 11:52 Ben looked slightly confused as he said, “Why are both of you in a daze? Go on.”

Susan took a deep breath and continued, “Then, let’s start from where we just stopped. Mr. Leen, can you modify it like this? For example…”

Susan wrote down some notes on the document.

Timothy leaned over to look while nodding. “That will do. Here, if we can…”

As they spoke, their heads inevitably moved closer and closer to each other.

Ben raised his brows and suddenly slammed his hand on the desk.

Susan and Timothy gaped at Ben in unison.

Timothy took a deep breath and asked, “Mr. Landor, do you have any problem with this?”

Ben replied calmly, “No, I was just swatting a fly.”

Susan looked at Ben speechlessly.

She seemed to be questioning Ben, “How could there be a fly in the conference room?”

Ben looked at her innocently and said, “I just killed it.”

“Fine.”

Susan thought as she took a deep breath and continued to talk to Timothy. “Let’s continue.”

The two of them began to discuss again.

After a while, Ben’s cell phone suddenly rang.

Ben glanced at them and hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, but don’t worry about me. Just continue.”

He answered the phone loudly, “Oh? Did you say that you want to have dinner with me tonight? But I’m afraid I don’t have time.”

Susan and Timothy looked at each other in dismay.

How could they continue under the circumstances?

Finally, Ben finished his call.

Ben put down his phone and asked with a surprised look, “Why did you stop? Go on with your business. Don’t be affected by me.”

Susan inhaled deeply and asked, “Mr. Landor, what can I do for you?”

Ben replied with an innocent expression, “Oh, nothing. I’m just sitting here to have a look.

Please ignore me.

Timothy stood up and said, “How about I come to talk next time?”

“What? You still want to come next time?” thought Ben..

Ben arched an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Does my presence bother you? Please continue. I promise I’ll no longer say anything.”

Ben looked as if he wouldn’t accept any objections.

Timothy had no choice but to helplessly sit back down.

“Ms. Miller, I think we can refine your suggestion. For example…”

“Hey,” Ben suddenly uttered, “Mr. Leen, I heard that you and Susan have known each other for more than ten years. Do you know what her favorite food is?”

Susan glanced at Ben reluctantly.

She thought to herself, “Mr. Landor, didn’t you promise not to speak?

More importantly, in addition, why did you change the topic so abruptly?”

“This has nothing to do with our work. We’d better…” Susan tried to end this topic.

I “But I think the question Mr. Landor put forward is pretty good.” Timothy smiled.

“You think so?” Ben also smiled. “Then tell me about it.”

“It’s true that I have known Susan for more than ten years. No matter what, I think I do know Susan better than you do, Mr. Landor.” Timothy chuckled. “But it doesn’t matter. Since you’ve asked me, I’ll surely tell you everything I know.”

“Oh? Then I should listen carefully.” Ben laughed as well.

Susan was dumbfounded.

She pondered, “I want to cry.

What a terrible situation!

Why don’t I just go out and have a cup of coffee first to allow these two men some time to compete against each other here?”

Just as Susan stood up and was about to sneak out, Ben grabbed her hand and said, “Susan, if you leave, I won’t know if what he says is right.”

Susan could only sit back down.

Ben was still pressing the back of Susan’s hand.

Timothy cast a casual glance at them and then said lightly, “Susan likes light food. She never eats spicy food or greasy food. She likes all kinds of refreshing vegetables and often drinks some delicious soup.

Timothy’s tone was confident.

Although he had never asked Susan about her preference for food, he knew about it after so many meals with her.

“Susan, am I right?” Timothy asked as he glanced at Susan with a smile.

Susan lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Ben couldn’t help but chuckle.

Timothy knitted his brows. “What? Did I say anything wrong?”

Ben raised his eyebrows as he replied, “Everything you said is wrong.”

Timothy’s brows twitched. “May I know why you said so?”

He could accept that he was inferior to Ben in other aspects, but he would never believe that he knew less about Susan than Ben did.

After all, he had known Susan for over ten years!
