Hearing Eden’s words, Kelsi's face changed slightly. She smiled and asked, "Have you known Mr. Alwynn for many years?"
Eden nodded and said carelessly, "Yeah, we have been together since I was born. So… I guess you can say so."
Kelsi scoffed at Eden’s answer. She thought Eden was just an employee coming from the branch company. How could Mr. Alwynn witness her growth?
Kelsi glanced at Eden. She admitted that Eden had a pretty face, but she looked too effeminacy.
Did Victor like such a feeble woman?
On the contrary, she, Kelsi, was beautiful and graceful. She was the one who was qualified to stand next to Victor.
A little smile flickered around the corner of her mouth. She walked directly to the desk with coffee and glanced at the documents she sent this morning. Victor hadn’t read them. She bit her lips slightly. Where did he go? He was there just now.
"Hey! Eden." With a joyful voice, Anson entered the room in a wheelchair, holding fruits and juices in his hand.
Eden turned to him and said with a smile, "Hey! I didn’t expect you!"
Ever since their talk last time, she had called him directly by his name.
His black suit made him look more mature and capable, and he had changed a lot since Eden and he first met.
Anson smiled and said, "Victor was worried and asked me to accompany you. I happened to be nearby and I bought your favorite fruit."
A flicker of a smile crossed Eden’s face. Accompany her?
He was here to accompany Abby, not me. Eden understood immediately.
She glanced at the drinks in Anson's hand. It was a double.
Therefore, she smiled and said, "Anson, keep one for me. The other one… Send it to Mr. Ronen's office."
"Lucian?" Anson asked.
Eden nodded and said, "Yeah. You go first. This lady has something to talk to me about. I'll go find you later."
Anson nodded and moved the wheelchair to give Eden the juice. He took a look at Kelsi.
Kelsi gave him a friendly smile.
But Anson just nodded indifferently. He looked at Eden's pale face with concern and asked, "You really don’t need me here?"
"No need." Eden laughed. "I can do it alone. Are there any monsters here?"
Anson also laughed and relaxed. "Call me any time if you need me. If you are not happy, Victor will beat me. He called me and asked me to take care of you."
Eden shook her head helplessly. "I’m not a child. Don't worry, go ahead."
Victor wanted to create an opportunity for Anson because he knew that Anson would never take the initiative to meet Abigail. As Anson’s friend and Abigail’s sister, Eden also hoped that they could be happy.
"Okay, here’s the fruit, you like it." Anson left after he gave the fruit to Eden.
After he left, Kelsi put the coffee cup on the desk.
Eden did not look at her. Instead, she placed the fruit on the desk.
However, Eden took a sip of the juice casually, and asked, "Have you ever read the Canon of Internal Medicine?"
Kelsi was stunned by the question. What did this have to do with the Canon of Internal Medicine?
Eden continued carelessly, "Qi, rises with anger, can harm your liver and cause sickness. Qi is the cause of all kinds of diseases."
"You know my situation. I can't get angry now. Besides, you’re nothing to me. Victor has no interest in you at all. It's your first time to make coffee for him, am I right?"
Kelsi was slightly stunned. Seeing Eden’s calm and relaxed, she felt a strong sense of humiliation.
Eden continued to say, "And it’s a show for me, right?"
"Victor doesn't drink what others give him. Even if Mr. Ronen makes coffee for him, he may not drink it. And your coffee uses sugar, how could he possibly drink it?"
As spoken, Eden took Victor's unfinished coffee and put it in front of Kelsi, "Take a good look at it. This is the coffee he likes. Geisha. And, I have never made coffee for him. It was he who made drinks for me. He knows I prefer juice, so he always prepares juice for me."
Hearing her words, Kelsi looked extremely embarrassed. She had thought that she would be the winner, but Eden’s words were like a slap in the face.
She went quiet for a moment while she summoned some words to retort Eden. She took a look at Eden's legs and said, "Madam, how long do you think you can pester him in your current state? Mr. Alwynn is noble. He needs a woman who won’t spoil his reputation, doesn't he?"
"Haha..." Eden laughed sarcastically. She carefully sized up the woman in front of her. She had neat features, but not delicate, looking at first sight but couldn’t stand careful looking.
She smiled and asked, "Then you think that you are suitable to stand next to him, you are a woman who can luster him?"
Kelsi smiled, "At least I can walk, and I'm also a capable woman. I won't bring shame to Mr. Alwynn."
