After working overtime for three days,Judith didn't call at all.
Steven returned home tiredly and saw the busy figure in the kitchen and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Judith,how many times have I told you not to waste your time,I won't eat what you cook..."
Maddie looked up when she heard the voice and Steven's sarcastic words stopped abruptly and his expression softened.
She pretended not to hear what he said just now and said with a smile,"Steven,I heard from the assistant that you haven't eaten well these days.I came here specially to cook for you today as a reward for saving me."
Steven should be happy,but at this time he didn't feel any joy in his heart,"You don't have to do these."
Maddie introduced the dishes happily and Steven flashed a trace of irritation for no reason,perfunctorily said a few words and went upstairs.
The uneasiness in his heart intensified and he poured himself a glass of wine to try to numb the feeling.
Steven opened his phone for some reason and the chat record with Judith was still a few days ago.
He clearly wanted to ask where she was,but the message he sent was just the opposite.
"Remember to come to the old man's 50th birthday tomorrow.And I warn you,don't provoke Maddie again."
***
On the day of Mr.Wilson's birthday,Steven attended in a high-profile manner.
At this time,many guests had already arrived and Charles also went downstairs to greet the guests.
With the arrival of Steven,the conversation of the crowd had a new direction.
"Little Steven is really young and promising.When will my kid be as good as him?"
"When Charles Wilson was young,he was a good businessman and he also taught his children well.His children now are so outstanding,which is really enviable."
Steven was very pleased with the praise from everyone.He walked up to Charles,his eyes full of pride.
"Where's Judith?Why didn't she come with you?"Charles asked.
Charles didn't know what happened between them,but he liked Judith very much.Over the years,in order to ease the relationship between Steven and the Wilson Family,Judith did not stop to please Charles.
Steven explained unnaturally,"The company is a little busy recently,she will be here soon."
Steven and Charles entertained important guests together and soon the banquet came to the gift-giving session,but Judith still did not show up.
Steven frowned,feeling more and more uneasy.
In the past,at this time,Judith would have prepared a gift to arrive.
Steven walked to the corner and called her again and again,but all he got was a mechanical busy tone.
At this time,the assistant hurried over and delivered the gift box that Judith had given him.
Steven's long-standing uneasiness suddenly dissipated.Sure enough,Judith still cared about him.
He held up the gift box and said to everyone,"Everyone,I have got the contract for the development project in the South City.I decided to give this contract to my father as a gift for his 50th birthday."
In an instant,the whole audience applauded continuously and the crowd's praises were endless.
Charles took the gift box with satisfaction,but his face turned as dark as charcoal the moment he opened it.Steven was puzzled and was stunned when he saw it.
In the huge gift box was a resignation application from Judith.
How could this be?How could Judith leave him!
