Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

“Secretary Wang put it there.” Bowen Carter sat behind the president’s desk while gesturing for her to sit on a side couch, “Go back and have Aunt Zhang put the same in your room.”

Speaking of which, he remembered that he’d asked her to move into the maid’s room, “Your old room is being cleaned up, so you can move in when it’s ready.”

Tess Baker’s very first room, which she burned down in a fire of her own, has been getting people in and out of it for the past few days, and it turns out that someone is cleaning up that room.

But she didn’t feel moved, only mocked. If he hadn’t asked Wendy Summer to move into her room, how could she have gotten so angry that she set it on fire?

But now was not the time to count on that, she glanced at the potted plant on the windowsill, he hadn’t said anything about giving it away, she’d just have to think of some other way to get it back.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

After Bowen Carter said enter, Secretary Wang pushed the door and walked in. Seeing that Tess Baker was also here, she smiled and asked, “Madam is here to deliver something to the president again, huh?”

Hearing this, Tess Baker’s face was bloodless. She thought of someone moving the potted plant and discovering its secret, but she didn’t expect to be betrayed by Secretary Wang’s words.

“Again?” Bowen Carter raised his eyebrows.

The smile on Secretary Wang’s face became even brighter, “Yes, Madam said it’s not good for the president to always stay in front of the computer desk, so she sent you a pot of cactus to help absorb the radiation.”

Tess Baker’s mouth was so dry she couldn’t stop the sweat from pouring off her forehead.

The Carter Group’s information was leaked recently, and she only recently gave Bowen Carter a potted plant. The Carter Group leaked the information to The Gate Group, and she has a good relationship with the senior, so as long as he has a little thought, he will suspect the potted cactus.

She clutched the corner of her shirt, debating whether it was better to admit her mistake to Bowen Carter now, or to risk waiting a little longer and hoping he didn’t find out the secret of the cactus.

“Tess Baker,” Bowen Carter called out to her suddenly.

It wasn’t really sudden, but Tess Baker had a mess on her mind and a weak heart, and when he yelled at her like that, three souls went out the window, and her heart was about to burst out of her chest!

She swallowed hard and didn’t need to look to know how ugly her face was now, “How … what’s wrong?”

She wanted to admit her mistake to him now, but the words changed.

“Is it true what Secretary Wang said?” Bowen Carter’s voice was still cold, but a bright light rose under his eyes, “Is it true that you gave this pot of cactus?”

Tess Baker wanted to say no, but … she swept aside Secretary Wang and nodded with difficulty. If she said now that the cactus was not from her, she would only immediately arouse Bowen Carter’s suspicion.

“Secretary Wang,” Bowen Carter leaned back in his chair, the corners of his mouth quirked up a few times, “bring that pot of cactus over here.”

“Okay.” Secretary Wang answered and put the pot of cactus on his desk, then stood aside respectfully again.

Tess Baker’s nerves were so tightly wound together that they would snap at the slightest pressure. She was so nervous that she could look at his expressionless face and think he was sneering.

Why did he ask Secretary Wang to serve the cactus?NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Had he found something out and now wanted to verify it in front of her?

Bowen Carter straightens up and drops his eyes to look at the unusually common pot of cactus on the table, looking very seriously. The long, thick eyelashes concealed the tenderness and smile in his eyes, and he looked serious as if he was talking about a big deal.

Tess Baker gulped unnaturally and subconsciously tried to gauge his demeanor, but he remained expressionless and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Cactus balls are ordinary. Why has he been staring at them for so long? Did he already know it was bugged?

What would she say or do if he questioned her? What if he told her to leave the Carter family immediately and never see Mike again?

She had some regrets, even if she wanted to make it up to the senior in the first place, she shouldn’t have helped him to do such a lackluster thing.

“Why is your head so sweaty?” Bowen Carter asked, lifting his eyes coldly.

Tess Baker wiped the sweat from her head and smiled sarcastically, “It was too hot inside the office to sweat without taking off her jacket.”

She wasn’t sure if Bowen Carter had noticed, but she could feel it herself, her voice trembling.

Bowen Carter didn’t say anything, just glanced at Secretary Wang, who then sweetly stepped forward and helped Tess Baker remove her coat, casually asking, “Are pregnant women more afraid of the heat than normal people?”

“… Maybe, not before.” Tess Baker replied with a somewhat heartfelt sentence, sneaking a glance at Nanqi Bowen, he shouldn’t have suspected anything or noticed anything, otherwise he wouldn’t be so calm.

Bowen Carter looked at the cactus on the table, reached out a bony hand, and, to Tess Baker’s trepidation, tapped the ceramic pot a few times.

“This cactus is getting a little yellow, why don’t you buy another one.” Tess Baker still wants to take this cactus away as soon as possible, making all the lame excuses.

Secretary Wang laughed: “Cactus ball just a little yellow all right, it happens to be a small secretary of my office hobby planting flowers and plants, I let her give a look, really do not want to take out and plant again, cactus ball is very well maintained.”

Each word was like a sledgehammer, pounding Tess Baker over the head and knocking her over the head. Take it out and plant it again? Then the bug in it would be discovered? She had dug a hole for herself!

“No, it won’t kill you.” Bowen Carter doesn’t like it when other people touch what Tess Baker gave him.

Tess Baker finally breathed a sigh of relief and her desire for a drink of water intensified; ever since she stepped into this office, her mind had taken off up and down without a moment’s peace.

Secretary Wang, who was good at reading people, poured two cups of tea without her having to say anything, and handed one to her and one to Bowen Carter.

“Thanks.” Tess Baker took two large gulps of water before feeling her nerves ease. Instead of asking for her potted plant back today, she’d made things worse!

She glanced at the cactus on the table and felt that the more she looked at it, the more it stung, and it was really haunted at the time that she had agreed to help the senior so much.

“President, this is the new financial report handed in by Boss Blair.” After tossing and turning in the office for such a long time, Secretary Wang had the chance to mention the business.

It just seemed a little strange to her that Boss Blair had turned in his financial report in the morning, so why was he turning in another one in the afternoon?

But it looks like the president knows about it.

Bowen Carter took it and put it on his desk, and Secretary Wang completed his task and left the office.

Every second Tess Baker spends in the office feels like an ordeal, especially when she sees the cactus pot on her desk, she always has a sense of panic that the pot is going to fall on the floor and reveal the bug in the next second.

She took the initiative to come forward, wanting to hurry through the financial report and leave, the feeling of being in a frying pan was too much.

But no sooner had she picked up the financial report than Bowen Carter looked up and said, “I’ll read it after you do.”

It was all Tess Baker could do to put down the financial report and sit back down to watch him work on the pile of papers on the division table, but just not the financial report.
