Chapter 1599
[ 598 words ]
Shanley picked up his phone and opened the messaging app.
Juniper had sent him a photo.
In the picture, the girl was sitting on a balcony holding an ice cream cone, flashing a sweet, triumphant smile at the camera.
Her little expression practically screamed: *No one here to stop me, total ice cream freedom.*
“Heh.”
Shanley’s lips curved up, a soft chuckle escaping his throat.
The executives: “?”
One second the CEO was radiating pure frost, the next he was smiling. It was like he was losing his mind.
*Smack_*
The subordinate currently giving the presentation was so shocked by the laugh that he lost his grip on his files, sending them slapping loudly onto the table.
Everyone else: “!!!”
The subordinate hastily apologized. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Schwartz!”
Shanley slowly turned his head and gave him a faint smile. “It’s fine.” Everyone else: “???”
Why was the CEO suddenly smiling so benevolently?
They understood now.
Ms. Payne had definitely just fed him some reassurance.
The executives frantically pounded their keyboards in the group chat:
[Ahhhh, pass it on! The CEO isn’t getting dumped after all!]
[*Sigh of relief.jpg* Ms. Payne, please come back soon and control your man.] His mood swings were giving them whiplash. Who could survive this?! Shanley pinched the photo, zooming in, zooming out, zooming in, zooming out….. He did it several times, the emptiness in his chest finally feeling a little less hollow.
He put his phone down and looked up at everyone. “Performance this quarter has been solid. Everyone gets a double bonus.”
Everyone: “!!!”
After finishing up his work.
Shanley sat in his car, staring out the window at the neon-lit streets.
His phone screen was still lit up with Juniper’s photo.
Calculating exactly when she would be waking up.
Shanley dialed Juniper’s number. It rang for five seconds before she picked up. “Hello.”
There was a time difference between the two locations. Juniper had just woken up. Perfect timing.
She opened her eyes to a call from that old fox.
“Sleep well?”
Shanley leaned back against the seat, staring at her with soft, gentle eyes. “The weather in Froskia isn’t great, make sure you don’t catch cold.”
“Mhm.”
Juniper mumbled her response, looking lethargic. “It’s so late. Why are you still
out?”
“Just left the office.” Shanley
couldn’t bear to look away, his voice
dropping low and raspy. “We’ve been
apart for too lồng, I miss you Whất about you, do you miss me?”
“Hasn’t it only been a day and a night?” Juniper pushed herself up and sluggishly wandered into the bathroom.
She brushed her teeth while listening to Shanley talk.
“Only a day?” Shanley offered a helpless, bitter smile. “Then why does it feel like ten years?”
“Tsk.”
Juniper let out a soft huff through a mouthful of toothpaste foam.
Shanley simply watched her, his expression brimming with pure adoration and indulgence.
Whose girl was this adorable?
Oh, right.
His.
After she rinsed her mouth, Shanley finally asked, “What’s your schedule like later?”
“Registration, then picking up the itinerary. Juniper leaned over the sink to splash water on her face. “After that I’ll be running training sessions for the competitors.
She was wearing a slip dress. As she leaned over, the neckline dipped dangerously
low, putting her stunning curves on full display.
Fair skin.
Generous cleavage.
It was as if she was doing it on purpose.
Shanley’s throat went completely dry, and he uncomfortably tugged at his tie.
His mind suddenly went back to the “vasectomy.”
While his girl was away, this was the perfect opportunity to get it taken care of.
“Remember to eat.”
After exchanging a few more words, Shanley hung up and turned to Flint. “Book an appointment for me with a urologist.”
A u-urologist?
Why did the boss suddenly need to see that kind of doctor? Could it be that in a certain department, he was…
Lacking?
Oh my god! [*Biting a handkerchief.jpg*]
