Chapter 167
Falling for My Contractual Wife
After the meal, Grace deliberately dawdled to the back. She wanted to wait for Brian to leave before leaving.
Unexpectedly, Brian scented to know what she was thinking. Now, he said goodbye to someone by the roadside and stopped walking.
Grace could only lower her head and walk over.
She looked at him coldly. âDid you do that on purpose?â
Brian frowned in confusion. âOn purpose?â
âYou know that it was me who bought the copyright, right?â Grace suddenly thought of something, and his eyes narrowed.
âAre you also the reader who has been giving me tips?â
Brian raised his eyebrows and admitted generously, âYes, itâs me. Do you feel uncomfortable knowing that Iâm the one who tipped you?â
Grace took a deep breath and felt very uncomfortable.
âNo, who wouldnât want money? Then thank you Mr. Brian for tipping. I hope Mr. Brian can maintain the good habit of tipping in the future.â
Just treat it as child support for the child in the future.
Grace said it coldly and walked forward quickly.
In the Francis Group, Marshall walked into the building in a suit. Ava followed beside him.
âDad, donât forget to tell Brian about arranging a job for me later.â
Marshall scoffed at her. âDad hasnât forgotten. Just make sure you donât stir up any trouble.â
Ava pouted unhappily. âYou make it sound like I only know how to cause trouble. If I didnât remind you, you would have forgotten about me again.â
Marshall clicked his tongue and explained, âWhy are you in such a hurry? The reason why I didnât mention this to Brian previously was because he didnât seem to be in a good mood.â
The father and daughter chatted as they arrived at the CEOâs office.
Marshall and Brian were in the office, engaged in a discussion about work matters, while Ava waited in the living.
room.
Nancy made a cup of coffee and brought it over.
Ava sized her up and asked, âAre you Brianâs secretary?â
âYes, it is.â
Seeing that a did not say anything else, Nancy left the office.
13:02 Sat 20 Apr 2175 In the office, Marshall, who had finished talking about work, saw that Brian seemed to be in a good mood today. He asked while drinking coffee, âBrian, have you been in contact with Louise recently?â
Brian said calmly, âShe didnât answer my call, but I know where she is now. Iâve been paying attention to her news. You can rest assured.â
Marshall smiled and nodded. âThatâs good. By the way, thereâs something I need to trouble you with.â
âMr. Adkins, just tell me.
âHereâs the situation. Ava has been out of school for over six months now and hasnât been working. I was thinking that perhaps your company has a suitable position for her. Consider it an internship to help her gain some practical experience.â
After a moment of contemplation, Brian frowned slightly and said, âIâll assign her to the Human Resources Department, then.â
âAlright. Iâll get her to familiarize herself with the company later. Sheâll officially come to work tomorrow.â
Brian nodded.
Marshall left the office. Ava was waiting outside. When he saw him come out, he immediately rushed up. âDad, how is it?â
âI agree. Iâll work in the human resources department tomorrow.â
âHuman Resources?â Ava expressed disappointment with the arrangement, as it didnât seem much different from taking on menial tasks.
Ava pouted. Coincidentally, Nancy happened to pass by. She grabbed Nancyâs clothes and asked, âWhich floor is the HR department on?â
Nancy glanced at her. âThe 22nd floor.
Avaâs expression fell as she realized the office was far from the CEOâs office. This arrangement seemed to defeat her purpose of joining the Francis Group, as she wouldnât even get to see Brian a few times a day.
