My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 58: He needed a chance

After Gloria sent the message, she waited nervously for Kenny's reply.

She had never been so nervous even when she texted Colin before.

Nearby she heard her colleagues muttering.

"I heard that Sun Zhenghua asked for leave, going home to rest."

"What's the matter with him these two days? He used to wish he could pretend to be dedicated to his job in the company every day!"

“…”

When Gloria was interested in their conversation, one more colleague joined in the discussion.

Their voices became less and less audible.

Gloria did, however, hear these words. "... Gloria... Did... Yesterday..."

Gloria suddenly sneezed, so were they talking about her?

…

Sheng Ding Media Group

All people were quiet in the room, as Kenny sat in the head of the table. He looked down as he flipped the project report and evaluation with a poker face.

The top management below all seemed to be starightening their clothes and sitting properly, not daring to speak. After all, the boss behind the scenes was a lot grumpier than President Carl.

People outside thought Carl was the boss of their Sheng Ding Media group, only the senior managements knew that this man was the real boss of the company, and that his whereabouts and identity were mysterious, but whenever there was a major decision to be made in the company, this man would come out and chair the meeting.

Kenny hadn't been the company for a long time, so Carl dealt with everything in the company, and it was really hard for Carl to run the company and attend all kinds of events.

Gloria went to work for the Taylor's Group, so he happened to be able to take care of his work there.

A couple of people in the company were working with some senior executives to try to get control of the company, but that's not a big deal.

Finally Kenny looked through all the papers, set aside some of them away neatly, and threw the others straight into the middle of the table with a loud crack.

Everyone was shocked.

Kenny looked up, scanned everyone slowly at the crowd, as his voice was harsh. "Everyone is like the patriarch of the company and has been with the company for a long time. Since we’ve been working together for so long, I'll give you one last chance. Pick up the papers yourselves and do them properly before you bring them to me."

When he had finished speaking, he got up, leaving the room. Carl followed him, carrying off the papers Kenny had just folded neatly.

When Kenny got back to the office, he loosened his tie, sat down in the chair behind the desk, reached out and rubbed his temple.

Carl followed Kenny in, he put down the papers and said, "These dame old guys, how can they be so submissive as to finish the papers and send them to you?"

Kenny looked cold. "If people were fired by Sheng Ding Media Group, which other company in this industry would dare to hire them?"

He sounded arrogant, but Carl knew that he had the right to be arrogant.

Even though Carl felt that Kenny was grumpy and seemed extremely arrogant, Kenny's actually a nice person. It’s the old guys who went too far this time.

"If you have nothing else to say, go to work first." Kenny said as he pulled open a drawer under his desk, pulling out a cell phone.

He pressed the power button and the phone's screen lit up, displaying an unread text message.

Unsurprisingly, it was a text from Gloria: I'm Gloria. Thank you for sending me the mobile phone and I like it.

His eyes fixed slightly over the words "I like it," and then he raised his lips, smiling.

Before Carl went out, he saw Kenny smiling at the phone, and he wondered. "Why are you smiling at your phone so brightly? I'm scared to see you like this."

Kenny was in a good mood, so he casually said. "If you're scared, why don't you just leave?"

Carl went around to see what Kenny was looking at, but Kenny looked like he had eyes on the top of his head. He flipped the palm of his hand, covering the phone over the desk.

Carl,“…”

Well, Kenny was tough!

Kenny didn’t try to text back to Gloria until Carl was out: As long as you like it.

After all, "Kenny" didn’t want to see Gloria, so that didn’t seem like "Kenny" at all.

He tried to reply again: Shi Ye bought it.

It seemed too deliberate.

In the end, Kenny just replied: All right.

Putting down his phone, he leaned back in his chair, as there was a rare flicker of fidget in his black eyes.

Carl left and returned, as he pushed the door, going to Kenny. "Kenny, this is the information about a big IP that the company invested in recently. I'll put it here for you, and you can look at it later."

"You wait."

Carl left the papers on the table and was about to leave when Kenny stopped him, he looking back in a daze. "What else do you want?"

Kenny pretended to have a slight cough, he reached out and tapped on the table. He looked impassive, saying. "Do you think I should tell Gloria that I'm Kenny?"

When he had finished, he added coldly. "If you laugh, I'll stop the acting life of the little actress you like."

Although Carl knew Kenny was only pretending to threaten him, Carl tried to keep a serious face.

Carl flushed with a suppressed smile, and he looked serious, saying. "Yes, you'd better tell her that at once." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Of course Kenny understood that Carl was messing with him.

He picked up the papers beside him and threw them at Carl. "You get out of here at once."

"All right, All right, I'm out ha, ha, ha..." Carl no longer suppressed his smile, but laughed wildly.

Carl felt that he had not lived in vain, because he had lived to see that Kenny confused by women!

He's going to share this interesting news with Fu Tingxi.

Kenny compressed his lips, he looked impassive as he quickly picked up the pen holder and hit Carl exactly as Carl approached the door.

"Ah --"

Kenny was a little relieved by Carl's screams.

Then he frowned, as it would have been a bad time to tell Gloria directly that he actually was Kenny.

He needed a chance.

…

Gloria waited a long time until Kenny texted her back.

He replied in a few words, but that was good enough for Gloria.

When she went out for lunch, several of her female colleagues came to meet her for lunch.

"Gloria, let's go to lunch."

Gloria did not ignore the desire to gossip that seemed to be raging in the eyes of her female colleagues.

Gloria thought that it might have been because they suddenly discovered that she had personally punished Sun Zhenghua.

She didn’t know how long she would be at the Taylor's Group, so she smiling, nodded. "Okay."

When Gloria smiled, even though they were all women, Gloria's beauty still dazzled her female colleagues.

As there were not many restaurants near the company, although they had only just found one for lunch, they met Anne and her father by accident.

Since Anne and her father were both supervisors, Gloria's female colleagues went over to greet them. "Hello, President, and hello Manager Anne."

Anne was the project manager, and of course, she lacked the ability to take up this position, so people who actually did her work were her subordinates.

Gloria didn't want to be too different, so she also went over to greet them.

"Hello, dad and hello elder sister."
