Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 286

Chapter 286 The Soup

After Hank left the Armstrong Family, the news immediately spread to the news network inside the

Barnwell group. The directors stood in front of him, almost kneeling down to apologize and confess. But

Hank only took a look and knew that they were acting. “Stop acting. Do you want Terry to go back to

the company? Okay, I agree. Do you have any other requests?” Director Qin’s face was pale and he

shook his head. “No, no, no, Mr. Barnwell, we are not going to plead for him. This whole thing was

planned by Terry. We hope that you can handle it seriously. It is best not to let him come back to the

company forever.”

Hank’s eyes turned cold. “Director Qin, as far as I know, Terry treats you quite well. You sold him off

just because you wanted to protect yourself?” “It was that kid who burned the bridge after crossing the

river. I did this for the sake of the company.” Director Qin snorted coldly. “It turns out that you also know

that making such a big joke is damaging to the Barnwell group’s face.” Hank’s handsome face sank.

“Everyone, hand over all the shares in your hands. At most, I will leave you five percent. Before next

Monday, I want to see the handover procedures.” Director Qin and the others were all stunned. “Mr.

Barnwell, please, don’t be so ruthless.”

“If the Barnwell group is suppressed to the point that it can’t turn over because of this matter, or if it falls

into others’ hands, do you still have the qualifications to bargain with me?” Hank had always kept his

word. The few directors begged for mercy, but it was useless. They looked at each other, sighed, and

walked out.

“Director Qin, forget it. Just treat it as a lesson. Mr. Barnwell didn’t kick us out of the group. He is

already too generous.”

How could Director Qin not understand this? However, he had fallen into Terry’s hands once again.

This debt, of course, had to be settled!

They entered the lift. The other lift door opened. Lyra was holding a lunch box in her hand, followed by

Sister Zhang “Excuse me, where is Mr. Barnwell’s office?” Lyra walked directly to the front desk and

asked.

When the staff at the front desk saw her, they were all stunned. “Ms. Jones…”

“Over there, over there.” Sister Zhang immediately pulled Lyra away.

She pulled Lyra over and saw Keith standing at the door. She heaved a sigh of relief. “Quick, she’s

looking for Sir.”

“I brought him some food. Can I trouble you to send it in for me?” Lyra smiled. Keith’s expression

turned cold and he immediately pushed open the door to the office.

If Lyra stayed outside for a second longer, there would be more risk. If something went wrong, he

would not be able to keep his job. “What’s going on?” Hank raised his eyes in displeasure when he

heard the voice. The next second, his gaze fell on Lyra’s face. His brows furrowed, and he quickly

walked over. He pulled Lyra in, then closed the door and pulled up the blinds. His nervous and

somewhat angry expression gave Lyra a fright. “Did I come at the wrong time? I just wanted to send

you something to eat” she said, pursing her lips. Hank gripped her shoulders nervously, his eyes

almost seeing through her. “Hank? It hurts.” Lyra pursed her lips and whispered. Only then did the man

realize it and abruptly let go.

“Sorry.” “Hank, can’t I come?” Lyra asked in a clear voice. Hearing this, all of Hank’s emotions were on

guard. He turned around and stared at Lyra’s face. Although he did not speak, the meaning in his eyes

was already very clear. Lyra’s beautiful and fair face had a light smile. She seemed to be just asking

casually. She turned to the table and took out a portion of the food. Her mouth was still muttering, “This

is the soup I made, and there are fruits. No matter how busy you are at work, you must remember to

eat on time.” After she finished speaking, she smiled gently at the man. “Try it.” For some reason, Hank

just felt very uncomfortable.

He looked at Lyra for a long time, but he couldn’t find anything. “Are you angry with me? If you don’t

want me to come to the company to find you, I

won’t come in the future.” Lyra looked aggrieved. “No. I’m very happy that you’re here.” Hank walked

over and smelled the fragrant aroma of the soup. He pulled out a chair and sat down. “Then you eat

first. I’ll go to the bathroom.” Lyra’s smile gradually deepened.

Bada.

The spoon in Hank’s hand accidentally touched the glass wall. “Huh?” Lyra looked over in surprise. “It’s

fine. You can go.” Hank turned his back to her and suppressed all the emotions in his eyes. Lyra

blinked and did not make a sound.

She opened the door and closed it again. She glanced at the employees at the door, but none of them

dared to look at her. Keith and Sister Zhang were nowhere to be

seen.

It seemed that Hank had made all the arrangements and wanted to lie to her until the end.

Well, then let’s see who could laugh to the end. Hank had drunk two bowls of soup, and Lyra still did

not come back. He got up in a hurry and called Keith in. “Find her. Don’t let her be lost in the company.”

What if someone leaked something, or Lyra saw something… “It’s all my fault. Madam insisted on

coming over to deliver food. I should have stopped her,” Sister Zhang said with a sigh. In fact, she did, Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

but with Lyra’s stubborn personality, who could have stopped her? “Now is not the time to talk about

this. Find her immediately.” Hank pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Who are you looking for?”

Lyra picked up the conversation and walked in with a smile, a cup of warm coffee in her hand.

Seeing this, the expression on Hank’s face became even more complicated. “Where… did you go?”

“Oh, I just came out of the bathroom. I was a little lost. I don’t know what happened, but I went around

to a large office with many employees and drank a cup of coffee there.” Lyra smiled, her eyes bright

and beautiful. She looked like she did not know why Hank was so anxious and angry, which made him

instantly calm down.

“You guys can leave.” Hank said. He turned around and loosened his tie. The door closed again. The

cup of coffee in Lyra’s hand was still warm. She looked down at the two bowls of chicken soup and

smiled gently. “It’s so good. It seems that the taste is not bad. I’ll make more next time.” She would do

more, and she would come to the Barnwell group every few days to join in the fun.

She wanted to wait until the day of Alma’s production, and this play would be even more beautiful.

Hank turned around and saw Lyra smiling gently. The stars in her eyes were something he had not

seen in a long time.

That appearance was imprinted in his heart, making his heart ache at the same time. “Lyra, let’s talk.”

“Oh right, didn’t you say that you were going on a business trip? Did you change the time?”

Lyra bent down and took a sip from the soup ladle that Hank had just drunk. “It is not salty enough.”

She muttered to herself. Hank’s pupils trembled.

“I…”

The moment his lie was exposed, he could not think of a reason to defend himself.

“It was Uncle Priestley who called me. I just found out that you haven’t gone on a business trip. It’s

okay, Hank. I know that you are busy at work. Sometimes, it’s normal that you don’t want to go home.

It’s okay. I will always wait for you.” When he completely put down his guard, she would give him a final

blow.
