Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Kicking Jacob Clark Out
Jacob Clark could no longer tolerate the situation. With a loud slap on the table, he stood up, leaning on the desk with both hands, veins pulsating on his forehead as he glared aggressively at Enna. He bellowed, “Enna, I’m your Dad! What good would it do for you if the company went bankrupt? Aren’t you planning to marry Young Master Lawrence? Do you really think you can win a firm standing in the Lawrence Family without a strong support from your own?”
Is he threatening her?
Unfortunately for him, she wouldn’t succumb to such threats!
“That’s my business and has nothing to do with President Clark!”
President Clark, President Clark, President Clark… The vein on Jacob Clark’s temple was thumping wildly. He had completely felt Enna’s attitude towards him, but there was simply nothing he could do. All he could do was just glare at Enna Clark, frozen in a stalemate.
“Knock, knock”, the secretary walked in with two cups of tea.
Noticing the red-faced Jacob Clark, she took a curious glance at him, before setting one of the tea cups on Enna Clark’s desk saying, “Representative, Manager Carter from the Administration Department is looking for you.”
After she said that, she placed the remaining cup of tea in front of Jacob.
Plumes of steam rose from the tea cups.
Enna glanced disdainfully at the man in front of her and calmly instructed the secretary, “Escort President Clark out, then have Manager Carter come in.”
Had the Representative finished the talk with President Clark of Clark Family’s company so soon?
Why did it seem like President Clark was not ready to leave yet?
Although the secretary found it strange, she was still courteous enough to offer, “President Clark, let me show you out.”
Jacob Clark’s face had turned utterly grotesque. It was as if someone had shoved a mouthful of dog feces down his throat. His face was awkwardly swirling with colors – sometimes blue, sometimes white, sometimes purple. He was all shades of a frightful rainbow, utterly ridiculous to look at.
He felt like his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.
But Enna Clark didn’t care to look at him. She painstakingly picked up the tea cup from the table and sipped from the freshly brewed tea as if it was more important than him.
Catching on to the oddity of Jacob’s facial color, the secretary made an educated guess that their talks didn’t pan out well, and she gently reminded him, “President Clark?”
The muscles on Jacob Clark’s cheeks twitched violently!
This was the first time he had been thrown out so disdainfully, and by none other than his illegitimate daughter whom he had always taken for granted!
He could feel a rage building up from his feet, threatening to reach his head.
Nonetheless, he was a seasoned businessman with decades of experience. Despite his anger, he knew this was not a place for him to create a scene as it would do him no good.
If he wanted to save his company, he had to start with Enna, which meant he must reconcile with her!
Jacob was clear about this. He was used to having the upper hand against Enna, and this was the first time he was mercilessly shut down. He felt a bit small.
Under the secretary’s urging gaze, he managed to suppress his grim expression and forced a conciliatory tone, “Enna, you have work to do; I won’t disturb you any longer. If you have time tomorrow, come home. I’ll ask Auntie Poppy to cook your favorite dishes. You know, you always loved the meals cooked by Auntie Poppy. Auntie May misses you a lot, too. You haven’t been home for over a year. Jasmine also… sighs… Even if we have misunderstandings, come home, for their sake…”
His last words were flavored with a touch of melancholy he had managed to squeeze out of himself. Anyone unaware of the situation would mistake him as a caring father.
