With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 40 Misunderstanding

As they were talking, Sophie went towards them, accompanied by a young nurse and doctor Wang.

"Doctor Wang, my wife sprained her ankle. Please have a check," Burke stood up and said to Doctor Wang who had just arrived.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry." Ricky rushed to the bedside, put down the medicine kit and began to examine her carefully.

"It's just an ordinary sprain. It will be fine in a few days after simple treatment and apply medicine on time together with cold compress." Doctor. Wang explained patiently.

Burke nodded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I'll talk the detail things to Sophie." Doctor Wang had never seen Burke so anxious. He had been his family doctor for many years and had a certain knowledge of Burke. It could be seen that Burke cared about his wife very much.

"Thank you." Sitting on the bed, Rose nodded at Doctor Wang to express her thanks.

Doctor Wang smiled at Rose gently and went downstairs with the nurse.

As soon as doctor left, Burke's grandma came in with the help of a servant. Her heart ached when she saw Rose's swollen ankle.

"How could you be so careless? How did you take care of your wife? " Burke's grandma turned around and tapped on the arm of Burke.

"Grandma, please don't blame Burke. I was too careless." Seeing this, Rose explained immediately.

Instead of replying, Burke sighed slightly. He took up the medicine left by Doctor Wang, walked to Rose, squatted down, and applied the medicine on her skin carefully.

Seeing that the atmosphere between them was a little different and seemed to have a good change, Burke's grandma was happy in her heart, so she did not ask more.

"Okay,"

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong..." When Burke's grandma was about to say something to Burke, a sudden ringtone interrupted her.

Sophie came in with Burke's cell phone.

"Mr. Gu, there's a call for you."

As he stood up and took the phone from Burke, he glanced at the screen. It was a call from his secretary, Mike.

Fearing that it would affect the sleep of Rose, Burke walked out of the room quickly and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mike, what's up?" Said coldly.

"Mr. Gu, we found a mole of the Hetian Real Estate Project!" Mike could not restrain his excitement. He tried his best to sound as calm and professional as possible.

"Okay, keep it a secret to the outside, and I'll handle it when I come back." Hearing that there were some clues about the Hetian Real Estate Project, the gloom caused by work in recent days swept away. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise. He would like to see who dares to destroy him and the Gu Group.

"Yes, Mr. Gu. Several managers are waiting for you in your office." Mike reminded him cautiously.

"I see. I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Burke went back to his cloakroom and quickly changed his horsemanship uniform. He tidied up the buttons of his shirt and rushed downstairs. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Sophie, "take good care of Rose, and remember to apply medicine to her on time.".

"Well, I know." Replied Sophie. She saw him to the door, and then saw him get in the car quickly and leave.

In Rose's room upstairs, Burke's grandma was chatting with Rose hand in hand. Seeing that Sophie came in alone, she asked, "Where is Burke?"

"Mr. Gu left in a hurry after he answered the phone. He seemed to have something urgent and he didn't tell me where he was going." Sophie answered honestly.

"This child..." Burke's grandma turned to look at Rose and patted her on the back of her hand, comforting, "Burke is busy with his work. And the Gu group is supported by him alone. I think it must be a hard thing to deal with. Don't overthink about it. I can tell that he cares about you. "

Rose nodded. She couldn't help but think of the phone call from Amanda when Burke was in a high fever yesterday. It was her who asked him to leave? How could she be compared with Amanda? In the eyes of Burke, Amanda was his true love. And for her, even though she received a little care from him, it may be just out of the responsibility of this marriage, or sympathy and sympathy.

At the thought of this, Rose shook her head with self-mockery.

In front of the president's office of the Gu consortium, Mike and several department managers had been waiting for Burke for a long time with solemn expression on their faces.

The automatic teleportation glass door was slowly opened. As soon as a tall and strong figure appeared in front of the crowd, a few people rushed up and followed him, one after another entering the conference room.

He took a seat in front of the meeting table and everyone took their seats. Alice, his assistant, brought the freshly made coffee and put it down in front of everyone's table. The smell of coffee instantly filled the room. However, the good smell did not make everyone relaxed. Everyone was sitting nicely as if waiting for an important trial.

Mike quickly distributed the sorted data to everyone. With a "snap" sound, Mike drew down the automatic curtains on both sides of the conference room.

Burke browsed the thick files handed over by Mike.

Seeing this, nobody dared to make a sound. The whole conference room was silent, leaving the sound of paper turning.

"No one knows about it, right?" After a long time, Burke finally opened his mouth, with his eyes still fixing on the documents in his hand.

"Nobody except people are here." Mike replied in an affirmative tone.

"What's your opinion on this matter?" Burke asked coldly.

"Mr. Gu, I'm afraid the Gu Group's reputation will be ruined if this news spreads out. I think it's better to solve it in internal."

"How to deal with it within the company? It is obvious that there are other companies supporting it. If we don't find out the manipulator behind it, it will be more disadvantageous to the development of the Gu Group in the future."

"Yes, we need to deal with it in public, which can also be a reminder to the other employees in Gu Group."

All the people present were talking at once. Burke was supporting his forehead with one hand, and the other forefinger bent. He punched the table rhythmically in one hand, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, Burke raised his head and waved his hand, motioning for everyone to stop talking. Everyone was silent and dare not say anything more. The meeting room fell silent again.

"Keep it as a secret for some time. If anyone else knows it, he or she will be responsible for it." It was the usual cold voice of Burke.

"Mike, ask this person to come to my office. Others, you can leave now. " Burke was pointing at the name on the file and said to Mike.

"Yes, Mr. Gu." Mike nodded, showing that he knew it clearly. He had been working for Burke for many years, and had a good understanding of his working style. He must have had a plan in his mind at this time.

Burke closed the files in front of his table, stood up, moved his sore neck, and walked out of the meeting room with composure and slow pace.

All the people closed the material and stood up. They followed Burke with different expressions. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Mike took a look at the name that Burke had just pointed out, then he took back the materials on the table one by one, and ordered Alice to destroy them with a paper container.
