Chapter 147: He Wanted to Toss Them into Boxing Rings
Edward appeared around nine-thirty. Despite being a weekend morning, he still donned his professional suit while carrying his black briefcase.
Calix stared impassively at the younger man once Edward stepped inside the private lounge.
"I’ve reminded you to dress casually more than a thousand times ah," Calix shook his head in disbelief. He took the files handed by Edward, "It’s weekend. You should go on blind dates later. Get to know some nice ladies."
Edward could be very rigid in certain aspects much to Calix’s dismay. He couldn’t help but think the former was no longer a cute younger brother from years ago. Edward had become as pesky as Evelyn.
Sigh... Not only their annoying quality match but, also their initials. They rarely made their appearances at the same time yet, once they did, catastrophe ensued.
Edward rolled his eyes, thinking how contradicting his bothersome boss could be, "You’re not one to talk, Boss. I’ve lost count of how many times you ran from your blind dates. Have you forgotten?"
"Tsk, you’re not cute anymore," Calix leaned against the couch’s backrest while reading the files, motioning at Edward to sit down, "How’s the company? Did any fire break out?"
Edward didn’t miss reporting to Calix at least thrice a day from the start of the business trip. Fortunately, everything was normal at the company except for some minor problems.
"Nothing. You can return to the office with peace of mind," holding the backrest of a couch, Edward sat opposite Calix, "Boss Xu, President Wang invited you to his 60th birthday banquet this Thursday. Will you go or not?"
"Send him a gift," replied Calix without thinking, "Reject any invitations for the night events in these two weeks. If possible, make it a month. Cancel the ones you’ve accepted. Tell them I’m busy."
"Should I tell them you’re occupied with the madam’s issue?" Edward was reminded of Leslie’s current condition. That was the reason his boss camped at this hospital, "When will you reveal about her waking up from her coma?"
