Chapter 71: My Girlfriend
"Ronan Peters, are you tired of work? Say another word, and you will lose your job. Forever—"
Ronan swallowed hard and grinned while scratching his head.
"Ha-ha-ha, Sir..." His nervous laugh echoed in the room. "Wh-why do you ask that? Of course, I still need to work for you. I’ve devoted my life to working with you, Sir."
Sawyer’s sharp gaze remained fixed on him. "Stop making assumptions. Your words are only adding to my headache."
Ronan raised his hand to create a peace sign. "Sir, I promise I’ll keep my mouth shut. But should we go for lunch now, or do you want me to order it for you?" He tried to redirect the conversation, not daring to challenge his Boss.
However, Ronan nearly choked when he heard Sawyer’s words.
"Abby hasn’t accepted me as her boyfriend, but that doesn’t mean she has wholly rejected me. She was asking for more time," Sawyer finally explained to his oblivious assistant. He didn’t want Ronan’s wild imagination to ruin his day.
"Wow! That’s good news, Sir. Congrats..." Ronan’s smile grew wider, but it soon faded as a question formed in his mind. "But, Sir, why do you look gloomy? That makes me think Miss Abigail rejected you."
Sawyer sighed long and deep, turning his gaze out the window. He lazily replied, "Because what you said before reminds me why she needs more time—"
Suddenly, a buzzing noise interrupted Sawyer. He took his cell phone from his pocket and abruptly stood up when he saw a text from Abigail:
"Sawyer, I’m done. Let’s have lunch together if your meeting with your client is over. If not, I will eat here while waiting for you."
