One Night Surprise

Chapter 433 Help Me to Locate This Phone

When Alexander and Caleb’s eyes met, they exchanged sharp looks with each other almost at that moment.

“This is a final decision that the board of directors has made. Don’t tell me you’re turning your nose up at their decision, Mr. Menzie? Or, is it because you’re not content with the mere position of chief executive of the legal department?” Alexander’s sentence was a trap for Caleb and whichever option Caleb chose, it was a case of damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

However, he wasn’t someone that should be underrated either. Maybe it was because he had a straightforward personality or he enjoyed dealing with the riskier side of things. Then, he frowned inconspicuously and calmly mentioned, “Everyone has their own goals. I honestly don’t crave this position since this isn’t what I came here for. As for what the board of directors have decided, well, President Duncan, you don’t have to worry about explaining things to them. I’ll sort things out with my dad.”

There were a few people who gasped in disbelief at Caleb’s elaboration since it was an obvious act of contempt toward Alexander. Despite the truth of Alexander being the president of Sunhill Enterprise, were all of his actions vetted and restricted by the board of directors?

In the end, the meeting ended abruptly whereupon everyone collected their belongings and quickly dashed out of the meeting room. The only ones left were Alexander and his personal assistant as well as Caleb, who took his time to gather his items.

Then, Alexander glanced at Caleb. “Mr. Menzie, are you free now? Let’s grab lunch together.”

“I’ve made plans with someone.” Caleb didn’t even bother to lift his head as he was focused on shoving his belongings into his bag. “I’ve applied for time off for this afternoon, which human resources have since approved.”

“What plans do you have?” Alexander stared at him. “I recall Director Menzie telling me that you hardly go out during the weekends. Even if you do, you would usually be at the library or attending urgent court hearings.”

It so happened that Caleb had collected all of his belongings. Then, he lifted his head and he slung his bag on his shoulder while solemnly replying, “I have a blind date.”

Suddenly, Alexander’s expression stiffened. This is the second time today that I’ve heard this!

“My friend has arranged for me to go on a blind date. I’m supposed to meet up with the other person for lunch, so I won’t be able to take you up on your offer. Let’s have lunch together next time then. It’ll be my treat.” After Caleb said that, he turned around to leave the place without a backward glance.
