Master Charlie Was Tricked By A Woman

Chapter 283 – Scratching the Surface



Blanche Capra didn’t have a good time after the party.

She had been at home for three days, and her tears had almost dried up, so even the maids couldn’t stand to watch her, and served her meals even at the risk of being reprimanded, “Please do take care of your health.”

“…” Blanche Capra curled up on the couch, the muslin nightgown she was wearing made her even thinner than in her modeling days.

There were no lights in the room and Blanche Capra looked up at the maid and asked her with a blank expression, “You’ve all seen the news in the papers over the last few days.”

“Yes …”

“Let me ask you, is he York Charlie in the picture?” asked Blanche Capra, knowing that it was strange for her to ask such a thing, but she really didn’t know what was going on.

She was even beginning to wonder if she was hallucinating, as Delia Field had said, and mistaking a man who looked like York Charlie and had just happened to rename him for her missing husband.

The maid’s words proved that she had indeed been right – the man held by the woman named Delia Field was York Charlie.

After months of searching for him, he shows up at someone else’s party and becomes someone else’s husband.

It was ridiculous.

Her eyes were dry and sore from too many tears, and the maid offered to get her eye drops, not forgetting to turn on the lights before she left.

The room opened up at once, and Blanche Capra looked at the empty bed, the curtains by the window blown up by the wind, and it hadn’t changed since York Charlie had left.

The only thing that had changed was York Charlie.

Blanche Capra is resigned to the fact that she won’t give up on helping York Charlie get his memories back, she just hasn’t gotten over her grief yet.

Just as she was looking at the colorful and delicious food and not doing anything about it, there was a sudden pain in her stomach, accompanied by a kicking sensation in her stomach.

The fetus had moved.

Blanche Capra was so surprised and happy that she blamed herself for thinking only of herself, forgetting that the fetus needed a lot of nutrients to grow healthily.

For the sake of her and York Charlie’s child, she had to eat even if she had no appetite.

After eating, the maid asked if she wanted to take a walk in the backyard; there was no gale tonight, so it wouldn’t be cold.

Blanche Capra shook her head, “I’ve got work to take care of, management’s going to blow up if I don’t get back to the office in the last couple days.”

The maid had the sense to carry the tray and leave.

Blanche Capra turned to the study and called her secretary at the first opportunity, “Notify the ministers of the major departments, as well as the general manager, that I’m returning to the company tomorrow for a meeting.”

“Yes.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The following day, Blanche Capra wore sunglasses to work, she strutted, head held high, and was expressionless as she spoke to her assistant who followed her. It’s not at all obvious how disheveled she’s been at home the last few days, which in turn makes her employees even more impressed with her.

Iceberg Beauty – they defined Blanche Capra in the same way as York Charlie.

Most people lamented, “It’s a shame they didn’t get together.”

As soon as she returns to the office, Blanche Capra gets into the swing of things and is a total workaholic.

Soon, the secretary delivered a message, “The general manager of the Field Group just called to say that he wants to work with our company.”

“the Field Group?!” Blanche Capra frowns, isn’t this Delia Field her dad’s company, why do they want to cooperate with her, aren’t they afraid of her taking personal revenge?

The secretary nodded, she too expressed her shock.

Blanche Capra thought about it for a while, Lynel Field should not know that she still has this layer of relationship with York Charlie, that’s why she proposed to cooperate, on the one hand, the Field Group has a good development prospect, if there is no accident, cooperating with them is a win-win situation for the company and the other party.

But in a minute’s time, she made a decision, “OK, just say that we are happy to cooperate and hope to climb further.”

Since the other party took the initiative to throw out an olive branch, she had to take it anyways.

The cooperation was arranged at the Field Group, originally Blanche Capra was planning to send the general manager to negotiate, but once she thought that this was their first cooperation with the Field Group, it would be better for her to personally see the strength of the other party.

The president personally went to the negotiation, which meant that if this cooperation was accomplished, it would be a very big project. the Field Group naturally did not dare to be slow, but Lynel Field was away on a business trip for the past few days.

But Lynel Field is away on a business trip for a few days, leaving all the heavy lifting to the general manager, York Charlie, who didn’t realize Blanche Capra was coming when he received the news about the negotiations.

Blanche Capra didn’t expect to see York Charlie at work either.

They met in the conference room, and Blanche Capra’s ghostly eyes flashed with surprise for a split second as soon as she saw that it was him, and this time she didn’t just rush right up to him without thinking about anything like she had at the party.

Blanche Capra smiled lightly, “First time meeting, I’m Blanche Capra, acting president of the Charlie Group.”

York Charlie had been worried that Blanche Capra would pounce on him and cause him trouble.

He even regretted a little bit that he had to come to the negotiations in person.

Little did he realize that Blanche Capra wasn’t completely unreasonable.

He nodded, “Hello President Capra, I’m York Charlie, the general manager of the Field Group.”

He extended his hand, which Blanche Capra quickly shook and then released.

Once everyone was seated, Blanche Capra got right to the point, “Let’s get right to the point, I appreciate your company’s invitation to our company, and I’ve received all of the proposals mentioned in the email, and it is indeed a worthy investment.”

She spoke dryly and forcefully, gazing at York Charlie as she spoke, a look that held no personal feelings, she was a competent businesswoman.

It was a far cry from the deadpan stance she’d taken on him the day of the party, and the aura wasn’t even on the same level.

Blanche Capra didn’t indulge in sentimentality, and in that York Charlie appreciated it.

He stopped playing with his fountain pen, “I’ve looked over the proposal carefully, and because I was in a hurry to make changes, I find this proposal leaves a lot to be desired.”

He wasn’t here to show off his abilities, but to observe Blanche Capra’s ability to work and adapt.

Blanche Capra didn’t disappoint as she stood up and directed everyone’s attention to the big screen, “Yes, I came here to focus on the objections and I have made some changes.”

Blanche Capra circled the deficiencies and presented her ideas for comment, along with her decisions.

Her ideas were perfect.

Blanche Capra’s ability to do this in a short period of time was unquestionable.

York Charlie no longer rejected her as a woman in search of glory, but appreciated her talents as a partner.

After the applause, Blanche Capra gives her decision, “I think our cooperation can reach a win-win situation, now it’s up to your opinion.”

What’s with the backhandedness?

York Charlie stood up and extended his hand, “I think it will be a pleasure to work with someone as wise as you.”

Official words were said, hands were shaken, and signing the contract was just a matter of a moment.

Blanche Capra saw that York Charlie didn’t reject her so much, and was even willing to walk side by side with her when the meeting broke up.

Her cold heart boiled up again, and she cautiously talked to York Charlie, “Don’t you think I’m annoying? Aren’t you afraid I’ll pester you if you get this close?”

York Charlie stared ahead, his face unchanged, “One size does not fit all, I still have to recognize your ability at work.”

“In that case, I don’t think it’s too much of a request to say let’s have dinner together, is it?” Blanche Capra asked him.
