Chapter 177

Actually as a smart person Jasmine knew what he wanted to say. So not giving him a chance to speak,
she turned around and walked towards her leather chair.

When she sat down in front of the boss’s table, seeing the silent David, she waved her hand again. “Go
quickly. I will be waiting for you here. If you have something to say, come back and tell me.”

David looked at her and hesitated for a moment. After a moment, he nodded and walked out of
Jasmine’s office. He took the elevator to the chairman’s office.

As an employee of Wilson Group, David had been working in the company for a while. However, this
was the first time he had been alone with Joseph. He had only been following Jasmine before. So he
felt somewhat awkward when it came to her father.

In fact, he had heard some things about Joseph in the newspapers and the news. He knew that Joseph
was very capable when it came to managing a company. His life was also very legendary. It was just
that in the past two years, he had grown older and older. He had already started to retreat behind the
scenes.

David had always admired this person, but he had never had the chance to be alone with him. But he
had never thought that Joseph himself would actually take the initiative to request to see him.

When David walked out of the elevator and walked to the secretariat room, Joseph’s secretary told him
that the chairman was waiting for him. The secretary opened the office door for David and watched him
walk in. He then gently closed the door of the room.

Joseph was sitting on the boss’s desk and leaning against the leather chair. He had basically handed
over the company’s matters to his son and daughter, so even if he came to the company now, he rarely
dealt with work matters.



As soon as David walked in, Joseph looked at the young man and nodded with a smile. He gestured
for David to sit down in front of his table.

“Thank you, Chairman. I can just stand there.”

Joseph smiled and looked at him as he stood up from the leather chair. He walked slowly to the sofa
and asked David to sit down with him.

David knew that it would not be good if he refused again, so he nodded and sat on the sofa beside
Joseph. He looked at Joseph and asked respectfully, “Chairman specifically asked me to come here. Is
there something you need?”

Joseph smiled. “I wanted to talk to you about a few things, so I called you here. You wouldn’t mind,
would you?”

“I’ve seen the chairman in magazines and TV shows before. I’ve also heard some of your legendary
experiences. It’s my honor to have the opportunity to be alone with the chairman today. How could I
mind?”

“Haha! I have always thought that you are a person who does not know how to flatter others. Now it
seems that you are not.”

David immediately replied respectfully, “I only said what I felt from the bottom of my heart.”

“Haha! Good! How about I tell you something from the bottom of my heart today?” Joseph smiled and
nodded.

“Chairman, please speak.”

“Okay! Then I will speak frankly.” Joseph nodded and looked at David as he went straight to the point.



“I have three daughters. My elder daughter and the younger daughter are married. I am not worried
about my son, Syrus. But among these children, the one I’m most worried about is my second
daughter, Jasmine. Because her personality is too strong, sometimes she also appears too
domineering. So many boys who liked her at the beginning, after getting along for a while, many of
them could not stand her personality. So her marriage had been delayed until now.”

“The reason why I called you here today. . . Because you are the person she likes the most. Before I
called you here to see me, I also understood some things about you. As well as my previous
relationship experiences, although I also know that I shouldn’t interfere in this sort of thing and the
matters of you young people should be settled by yourselves, but I don’t want my daughter to regret it
for the rest of her life. So today, I wanted to call you over to ask about your true thoughts. I hope you
don’t mind. Can you tell me what you think of Jasmine?”

David listened to Joseph and thought for a while. He then looked at Joseph sincerely and said,” Thank
you, chairman, for saying these things to me. I have been with Jasmine during this period of time. I
know she is a good boss. Although she has a strong personality, she can always find the potential of
her subordinates. To be able to accurately find your weakness can also bring out your strengths. I really
have nothing to say to her in terms of work. But in terms of feelings. . . “

David paused for a moment, then he looked up at Joseph and continued, “Since the chairman said that
he knew something about me, I will tell the chairman the truth today. I have not thought about the
relationship for the time being. I hope the chairman can forgive me.”

“Have you thought about it? If you agree to date Jasmine, you don’t have to worry about anything for
the rest of your life. I don’t think many ambitious young men will give up such a good opportunity so
easily. If you leave the Wilson Group in the future, won’t you regret your decision today?” Joseph
looked at David and asked slowly.



David smiled when he heard what Joseph said. “I will work hard for my career. If I try my best but fail, it
only means that there is something wrong with my fate. No one can blame me. But if just for the fact
that I do not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, I go out with Jasmine, not to mention
others will look at me with colored glasses, even I will look down on myself!”

“Then what you mean is that it will never be possible between you and Jasmine? Can’t you give her a
chance?” Joseph listened to him and appreciated this young man even more.

“I don’t dare to say something too absolute because no one can say anything about relationships. I just
hope that the two of us can go with fate. . .” David answered truthfully.

Joseph smiled and nodded. “Okay! I understand. Thank you for saying these things to me. I hope it will
not affect your relationship with Jasmine. You can go back now.”

David immediately stood up and nodded respectfully at Joseph. “I will be leaving first.”

Joseph smiled and nodded. He watched David walk out of the office slowly and then close the door. A
satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although Sarah kept trying to make herself forget about Greta in the entire morning, she was still a little
absent-minded at work. There were several times when she made mistakes in the statistics.
Fortunately, she rechecked the data over and over again so she found about the problems.

It was almost noon. She received a call from David and he asked her out for lunch.

Sarah knew that David was worried about her. And with his personality, if she refused to have lunch
with him, he would definitely find her, so she nodded and agreed.

After 12 o’clock in the afternoon, Sarah took her bag and took the elevator to the company’s lobby.
When she walked out of the elevator, she saw David waiting for her not far away. She immediately



lifted her foot and walked over.

“Mr. David!” When she saw David in front of her, her mood became much better.

“Let’s go eat today. Just treat it as going for a walk with me, is that okay?”

“Okay, okay!” Of course, Sarah was happy to go with him.

David nodded and looked at her thoughtfully. He took her out of the square in front of Wilson Group,
turned on the sidewalk, and walked forward.

“By the way, why didn’t you come to the company the day before yesterday?” David asked as they
walked forward.

“I didn’t feel well, so I took a leave of absence.” Sarah did not want him to worry about her, so she
looked at the building not far away and lied.

David heard her words and smiled. “Actually, you have never been good at lying since you were young.
Do you know why?”

Sarah shook her head guiltily.

“Because people say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. When lying, the eyes will keep
dodging. Your eyes are like this now. . .” David looked at her as he spoke.

Sarah pursed her lips and looked at the road in front of her. For a moment, she did not know how to
answer his words.

“Did Christian do something to let you down?” There must be no other person besides Christian who
could make her so sad.



“No,” Sarah said quietly.

“Then something happened at home?”

Sarah shook her head again.

David grabbed her arm and asked her to stop. “Sarah, no matter what, I am your Mr. David. Do you
really not believe me?”

“No, Mr. David. I am just a little confused right now. Give me two days. I will tell you in two days.” Sarah
looked up at David and begged. She really did not know where to start about the matter between her
and Christian. Her mind was in a mess. She just wanted to think quietly by herself.

David looked at her in silence. After a while, he nodded in agreement. “Okay! Then let’s go eat lunch
now.”

“Okay. . .”

Knowing that Sarah would not take the initiative to tell him for a while, David did not continue asking.
The two of them went to have lunch.

Although Sarah felt uncomfortable, she still managed to eat a little. It was not for anything else. It was
only for the innocent child in her womb.

After lunch, the two of them walked back to the company. When they were almost at the company,
David, who had been silent the whole time, blocked her way.

“Mr. David, what’s wrong?” Sarah looked at David, who was blocking her way and looked up at him.

“What do you think? When we were eating, I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to eat, so I didn’t ask
you anymore. Now tell me, what did Christian do to make you so sad? Sarah, if you don’t tell me today,



then I will go directly to Christian’s troops. As long as I want to find him, I will definitely be able to find
him!”

Sarah heard what David said and blinked her big eyes. “So what if you find him? The relationship
between me and him is already over.”

Sarah’s words made David frown in disbelief. He reached out and grabbed her arms. He stared at her
and asked, “Is it over? Why is it over? Tell me quickly, what happened between you two?”

His guess was right. She was so sad because of Christian.
