Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 54

Susan hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open.

Ben was checking on something when he heard someone enter the room. He put on a sneer on his face. “Luke, you still had the nerve to send me this thing? Out of the three features I requested from you, how many have you implemented? Here I thought you had some brains with, but it seemed like I was mistaken…”

Ben cursed as he tilted up his head.

He was just then to see Susan looking dumbfounded.

His expression froze.

Susan was the same.

“Impossible!

“This is not the Ben I know!

“He is always gentle, always considerate.

“Maybe he’s in a terrible mood today?” Susan thought.

When she spoke, she did it cautiously, “Mr. Landor, should I go look for Luke?”

“Wait!” Ben quickly said, now with a calm face. “Come in, and close the door.”

Susan did as she was told.

Ben pretended to cough, “I don’t always lose my temper, but look at what Luke did here. This is outrageous.”

“I know.” Susan nodded obediently.

There were traces of embarrassment on Ben’s face, “I mean it. Come, have a look.”

Feeling somewhat curious, Susan stepped forward.

She knew Luke had been working on a new project for the last year.

She didn’t take part since the project had been going on for a while.

Judging from Ben’s response, she assumed it didn’t turn out well.

She walked over and took a look.

A mobile phone operating system was running on Ben’s computer.

It was to be used on the new Storm phone produced by Storm Group.

“I’m going for a breakthrough in this new operating system. Ben explained. “First of all, it’s going to be at least 50% faster than the best phone in the current market.”

Susan’s eyes blinked.

50% faster?

Such a breakthrough sounded rather appalling.

“Unfortunately, what I have now is only 48% faster, Ben said, with disappointment appearing on his face.

Susan was speechless.

She felt a little sorry for Luke.

48% faster was already a rather amazing advancement.

“Second, the operating system must feature a self–simplifying function. There will be close to no lag in response time. It will also be able to support all applications downloaded into the phone.

“The most important feature is the third one.” Ben’s voice became calm and a thirst flashed across his eyes. “A new phone from Storm Group will enter the 5D era! It supports the emergence of 3D applications. When paired up with a special kind of glasses, it will even support virtual reality.”

All Susan could do was to nod her head.

If such an operating system really existed, then it would be a groundbreaking. product.

However…

“Mr. Landor, can what you’ve said really be done?”

“Why not?” Ben opened the source code and began amending it. “Look at here, if you change here and this, then the system will run even smoother. Oh, here and

here…”

He changed what he could on the spot. For the parts that he couldn’t fix. immediately, he gave a rough direction of how they should behave.

Sitting beside him, Susan was a little dizzy.

To her, Ben was a company CEO, which meant his role was to manage the

company.

It contrasted drastically with what he was doing at the moment.

He seemed to have a great programmer’s mind.

Susan hadn’t properly understood the source code, but Ben was actually to amend it on the fly and he had actually done a good job at it.

She recalled something.

It concerned the rumored third big shot in the company.

The way she currently looked at Ben was different.

After doing his changes, Ben saved another copy of

code and gave it to Susan. “Give this to Luke. Ask him to change the code according to my instructions.”

Susan picked it up instinctively.

Then, she stared at Ben.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Yes?” Ben asked.

Susan couldn’t help but mumble, “The legendary all–rounder third big shot…”

“What are you talking about? Who spread such a rumor?” Ben questioned with his eyebrows raised in silent acquiescence.

Susan felt her whole body taking a turn for the worse.

How could Ben be born so perfect?

Not only did he have talents for managing businesses, but he also had what it took to be a great programmer.

Chapter 54

He excelled in both worlds..

Was he even a human in the first place?

Ben noticed how Susan was admiring him and he felt good.

“Yes, that’s more like it.

“Keep it up.

“I like it.” Ben thought.

He wished he knew Susan liked that part of him earlier.

But it was still not too late.

Susan was still in shock.

Then, the shock turned into admiration.

After that, it became love.

The turn of events was indeed perfect.

Ben maintained an indifferent face, patting Susan’s shoulder, “Look for me if you have any trouble with coding.”

“Yes!” Susan suddenly sprang up from her seat. “Mr. Landor, I’ll take my leave.”

“Just like that?” Ben said in his head.

He was not impressed.

“What happened today? Do you have anything to ask me?” Ben said.

Only then did Susan remember what she had wanted to ask.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Mr. Landor, there’s one thing I couldn’t quite wrap my head around. Why did you… Why did you suddenly reveal our relationship?”

She had thought how Ben hated to make his private life public knowledge.

One end of Ben’s lips hooked up, “Anything else? Ask everything in one go.” “You even pinned a post on top. Is it going to ruin your reputation?”

After all, Ben was still a company CEO.

Multiple rumors had surfaced after the post showed up.

“Go on.” Ben raised his eyebrows.

Susan hesitated for a moment, “The post. Is it true?”

She didn’t understand.

Didn’t Ben try to warn her not to simply leave the office when he had gone to the canteen?

He had given her a bouquet of flowers for days. Wasn’t that implicating that she should leave the company?

It seemed like things weren’t as simple as she had taken them to be.

“Ah, about the post…” Ben stammered.

Panic stroke Susan. She raised and shook her hands in protest, “Forget it, I don’t want to know.”

“You don’t?” Ben whispered in his head.

He sealed his lips.

How was he going to handle this situation?

He began searching for questions that he had done before.

There was one question that stated what women thought usually contradicted what they said.

However, that statement couldn’t be applied to all situations. He would have to analyze the current tidings before coming to a solid conclusion.

He glanced at Susan again and still failed to come out with a satisfactory answer.

No wonder he hadn’t passed the test yet.

“I’d better get going” Susan said in a mocking tone.

“If you don’t want your girlfriend to leave, you can…”

The question flashed across Ben’s mind. He had gotten the answer!

He stood up and grabbed Susan.

Susan stared at him with her eyes opened wide.

Out of the blue, Ben knew what he should do.

A rare trace of tenderness flashed across his eyes, “The posts… They are all right.. I’m sorry, Susan. Please don’t be angry with me. It was my fault.”

It was the most effective way of approaching a question.

Regardless of the situation, admitting to something would never go wrong.
