My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 573 - 155: I’ll Be There



"You have an idea?" Kyle didn't believe it.

"Don't look down on me, my dear Kyle," Antonette snapped. "When the Anderson and William drugstore officially opens next month, the Andersons will come back."

"So what?" Kyle questioned.

They had already signed the contract. Even if the Andersons came back, what would change? Kyle didn't understand.

"Kyle, trust me, this is the perfect chance to ruin the deal."

Kyle was still confused, but he was willing to let Antonette run with it.

"Don't screw it up, Antonette. Or else…" Kyle warned.

"Don't worry. I will handle it."

Antonette left Kyle alone to think. He sighed heavily, massaging his temples. Antonette seemed very confident, maybe she really had a good idea?

The drugstore was located on the ground floor of the William Group building. To recruit people to work there, Diana held a job fair and interviewed them in person.

"Next." Diana massaged her aching neck and put a cross beside the name of the interviewee she had just seen; he was no good.

Glancing at the next name, Jason Jones, Diana wondered whether it was the same Jason Jones from her bicycle accident.

"Hi, Diana!" It appeared that Diana's prediction was right. Jason came in and sat down happily at the desk.

Looking at him, Diana felt a little awkward.

"Hi."

After looking around, Jason looked disappointed.

Diana knew what he was looking for, so she told him the answer.

"My brother is not here."

Jason looked frustrated. "I thought he would be here. He will be here sometimes, right?"

"I'm not sure," Diana replied impatiently.

Jason kept asking about Daniel, which made Diana angry.

"What are you doing here? Looking for Daniel or interviewing for a job?" she finally asked, exasperated.

"Sorry, Diana, please don't be angry. I just want to meet Daniel so much."

"So you have never met him before?"

"No, never. He had already graduated by the time I started university. I have just heard so much about him. Tell me, Diana, what does Daniel look like?" Jason was still curious to learn more about his idol.

"Just look at me," Diana said bluntly.

This finally put an end to Jason's questioning.

It was still difficult for Diana to believe that Daniel had so many admirers in the school. They were identical twins; he just had slightly better grades than her. That was the only difference between them.

"So, Diana, what do you think? Could I be a good candidate for the job?" Jason asked carefully. He didn't want to make Diana angry.

It was a tough question. Jason was a little full-on, but next semester he would be a senior student, and as all seniors are required to work part-time in hospitals or pharmacies, Jason would be available. Besides, he was Diana's schoolmate. So Diana put a tick beside his name.

"It all depends on your performance. Remember to register here at 8:00 tomorrow morning."

"Okay. I'll be there." Jason was very happy. It was a great chance to meet Daniel, and he was determined to perform well.

Diana completed the list of employees, as well as the inventory of drugs needed for the store. As per company rules, she had to hand the lists to Brian in person.

Brian was hard at work when he heard someone knocking on the door. He thought it was his assistant, so he didn't pay much attention.

"Come in."

Diana walked in quietly and put the doc.u.ments on Brian's desk.

"Mr. William, here are the lists of the employees and medicines for the new store. Please have a look."

Brian looked up and smiled.

"Thank you, Miss Anderson."

It seemed they were strangers again since the night they had dinner. Diana looked down to avoid seeing him.

"Mr. William, if there is nothing else I can help with…?"

"Miss Anderson."

Diana was about to leave, but Brian stopped her.

"Miss Anderson, I have prepared an office for you. It is just down the hall from mine."

"No. You don't have to do that."

"Miss Anderson, please don't misunderstand me. I have no other intentions. The drugstore is on the first floor, and there is no room for an office down there for you. Besides, we will often have to discuss things regarding the business. It's not convenient for both of us that you go upstairs from the first floor to the top floor all the time."

"Okay, it sounds like a good idea. Thank you," Diana agreed before quickly taking her to leave.

Staring at Diana as she departed, Brian smiled. There was no way he would let her go this time.

Suddenly the phone rang to interrupt his thoughts. When he saw who was calling, Brian immediately stopped smiling.

"Hello." Brian's tone was not good.

"Brian, I am leaving town. Please come to meet me one last time," Vera begged.

"We don't need to see each other anymore. Take care of yourself," Brian insisted. He hung up the phone and immediately put Vera on his blocked caller's list.

Brian kept his word and moved all of Diana's things into her new office.

Diana could do nothing but watch the guards move everything. She said nothing, just following them upstairs.

The office Brian had prepared for Diana was, in fact, directly next door to his. What was more, as Diana arranged her things, the blinds covering the glass wall between her and Brian's office were suddenly opened, and Brian's smiling face appeared on the other side.

Diana was pretty angry as Brian had deliberately deceived her. She walked straight to Brian's office to challenge him.

"What the hell are you doing?" she yelled.

"As you can see, I did nothing. I was just sitting in my office," Brian replied innocently.

"So why is it that can you see my office from where you sit? You didn't do that on purpose?"

"I had no idea. It's just a coincidence."

"Fine." Diana pointed at him angrily, but she didn't know what she could say. So she left and went back to her own office. She piled all her doc.u.ments up on her desk to hide from Brian's view.

Brian couldn't help chuckling to himself.
