Chapter 137 His Mind Is Full of Her

“Claiming credit?”

David scratched the back of his neck with a grin, avoiding a direct answer. Instead, he asked, “Boss, were you happy when Ryker got back at Gavyn for you during his wedding?”

At that time, the expressions on the faces of the Delacruz family members were quite amusing, as if they had swallowed flies and looked awkward and uncomfortable. Aylin saw this and couldn’t help but feel delighted inside.

However…

Aylin’s eyes were cold and sharp, “How did you know it was Ryker?”

David knew that Boss didn’t like beating around the bush, so he didn’t dare to keep him in suspense any longer. He then recounted the entire incident in detail.

“So that’s what happened. When he heard that Gavyn was getting married, he got so angry that he wanted to vent his frustration on you. I’ve also had a long-standing dislike for the Delacruz Group, so we hit it off right away.

Ryker is abroad, so I took care of setting up the scene.” David grinned at Aylin, “Boss, it’s not too much to ask for some credit, right?”

David didn’t reveal his inner thoughts, and he always worked for Aylin without expecting anything in return. So, how could he really be eager to claim credit?

Moreover, he was the young master of the Mandel family, pampered and spoiled, dressed in fine

silk and jade.

The real reason is…

He hurriedly rushed over to pick up Aylin, fearing that she might be at a disadvantage!

Aylin couldn’t help but laugh at his mischievous demeanor. She playfully tapped David on the head with her fingers and said, “You’re quite the smooth talker. Fine, I’ll give you credit for this one. I’ll give you a raise when we get back.”

David covered his head with one hand and exclaimed, “Why are you hitting me again? If you knock this smart brain silly, it’ll be a loss for the Boss!”

Aylin savored the sweetness of the cookie, took a sip of coffee, and felt her mood lighten up quite a bit after leaving the Delacruz residence, where she had been feeling somewhat stifled.

“When did you become so close with Ryker? I never saw you two interact much before.”

“Isn’t this a case of sharing a common hatred?” David said confidently. “We have a common enemy, and that is the class struggle!”

Aylin

Aylin burst into laughter.

“Are you guys comrades in arms? Are you going to the battlefield?”

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and David chimed in, “Of course! To protect the Boss’s battlefield, we’ll go through fire and water without hesitation!”

Aylin smiled playfully, “Alright, stop, you’re making me cringe so much that I’m getting goosebumps.”

“Hehe, the most important thing is for the Boss to be in a good mood!”

David’s driving skills were quite impressive, ensuring a smooth and steady ride. Aylin, feeling a bit

tired, leaned back against the comfortable leather seats and closed her eyes to rest.

David spoke much less now, occasionally exchanging a few words with Aylin.

“Boss, how did you get to know Mr. Orozco?”

“Three years ago, I accidentally injured him. After investigating, I found out he was an orphan, so I decided to cover his living expenses as compensation. He’s really made something of himself, though; I just lent a helping hand.”

“Ah, it’s hard to believe he was in such a terrible situation just three years ago, considering how successful he is now. It’s truly remarkable,” David remarked with a sigh.

However, after a moment, his brows furrowed.

Oh, that’s not right.

Ever since the Boss returned, he had interacted with Ryker a few times. As far as he knew, it seemed

that Ryker had been developing his career abroad for the past three years.

How could the boss have met and bumped into him in our country?

Just wondering, I glanced up at the rearview mirror.

Aylin closed her eyes, her cool expression seemingly sinking into a moment of rest.

David didn’t ask any further, thinking it was probably just a slip of the tongue from Aylin. After all, she had no reason to deceive him, nor would she.

Perhaps the boss got it wrong.

He thought.

David drove Aylin in his car, and the atmosphere was peaceful. In contrast, the air at the Delacruz Group was so tense that it could almost freeze. Everyone who passed by the CEO’s office couldn’t help but shiver, even without entering.

“What’

“What’s going on with Mr. Delacruz today?”

“Hey, haven’t you seen the news? Ms. Marsh cheated on Mr. Delacruz, and their wedding was called off. Mr. Delacruz must be upset because of this.”

“So even outstanding people can be betrayed, huh? Sigh, another day of being discouraged from getting married…”

The employees were quietly discussing among themselves, but no one dared to bring up the issue directly to the person in charge.

After all, first the secretary was scolded for making the coffee too weak, and then the Chief Financial Officer was severely reprimanded for using the wrong font size in the financial report.

For a moment, everyone in the company was filled with apprehension, not even daring to breathe loudly, fearing that they might be fired for stepping into the office with their left foot first.

Inside the office.

Gavyn gently rubbed his brow with his fingertips, as the freshly brewed aromatic coffee was at just the right temperature, surrounded by a swirling white mist.

But he just couldn’t shake the feeling of unease in his heart, and he couldn’t bring himself to drink.

He has always been a person who keeps his personal and professional life separate, never allowing his emotions to affect his work. This is the kind of emotional control that an adult should be able to

achieve.

Today, Gavyn picked up the report that had been revised countless times. Each entry was beautifully done, yet no matter how he looked at it, something just didn’t sit right with him.

The layout is too cluttered, and the font is too rigid.

Everything is flawed.

And whether it’s a blank piece of paper or a desktop, after looking at anything for a while, Aylin’s face would inexplicably appear before my eyes.

Recalling her arrogance and disdainful attitude before parting, Gavyn found himself unable to focus on any work.

At the moment of utmost agitation, the phone rang.

Waylon’s teasing voice rang out on the other end of the phone, “Gavyn, d*mn, I just saw the entertainment news. What happened to your wedding? Did it blow up or something?”
