CHAPTER 469 I HAVE TO ANSWER THIS CALL

Silence hung heavily in the private box.

Everyone stared at Marie and Serena in disbelief.

They could hear how reverently the personnel manager was talking to Marie. After all, the general

manager was someone who was able to decide his destiny in the future.

The two girls were still in puzzlement after Marie hung up the phone.

Their internship wasn’t over yet, but how come they were promoted to general manager and general

manager assistant?

At this moment, Leo raised his glass at them.

"Marie, Serena, congratulations!"

Marie and Serena turned to Leo at once, their eyes fixed on him.

It must be him!

Even if Leo didn’t do it, he was involved.

Meanwhile, Edwin saw both Marie and Serena’s reactions, astonished.

Leo, however, was sipping wine, looking calm.

Edwin realized immediately that Marie’s boyfriend wasn’t some ordinary man!

"I’ll drink a toast to you, Mr. Cohen." Edwin rose to his feet instantly and proposed a toast to Leo.

Leo picked up his glass and clinked it against Edwin’s. "Nice to meet you."

At this moment, Winnie chimed in contemptuously, "Why do you propose a toast to him, Edwin? You’re

wasting your time."

Edwin didn’t say anything, but sat down and threw a meaningful glance at Winnie to stop her from

picking on Leo, but she didn’t get it.

Winnie stared at Marie and Serena with mixed feelings. She still couldn’t believe that Marie had

become the general manager of the J Group after a call.

That was to say, Marie would be the one to take care of her husband’s business in the future.

What a drastic change!

Winnie had talked so much a wile ago, but it was nothing against Marie’s promotion news. However,

she still forced herself to put on a smile and said to Marie, "Come on, Marie. Let me drink a toast to

you. Congratulations on your promotion!"

At first, Winnie thought Marie would definitely raise her glass, but in fact, she showed no intention of

doing so at all, but looked up and down at her faintly.

Holding the glass up in the air, Winnie couldn’t feel more embarrassed, a touch of anger on her face.

"Marie, we haven’t met in a long time. Now I’m drinking a toast to you, but aren’t you being

unreasonable not to accept it?"

Marie stared calmly at her. "You said it yourself that you’re drinking a toast to me, and it’s your own

business, but whether to accept it is my business. Is there any problem?"

Everyone was stupefied upon hearing that.

Dakota, Billie and the others had surprise written all over their faces because they never expected

Marie to be so blunt.

Her cheeks twitching, Winnie wished she could eat Marie alive.

"Fine! Then I’ll apologize for what I said to you a while ago by drinking this glass of wine!"

Winnie gulped down the wine and poured herself another glass. "Now, I’m drinking a toast to you. Will

you accept it now?"

Still, Marie showed no signs of raising her glass.

This time, she simply ignored Winnie, not even wanting to talk to her again. Instead, she put some food

on Leo’s plate. "Come on, honey. Have some of this."

Leo had goose pimples all over as he heard Marie calling him "honey", feeling extremely guilty.

"What do you mean by that, Marie?" Winnie growled, feeling as if she went back to her high school

years again, when she was overshadowed by the glorious Marie.

"I mean nothing." Marie threw a glance at her. "I know what you want from me, Winnie. It’s impossible

for your husband to work with the J Group."

Now everyone realized what was going on instantly.

Marie was taking her revenge on Winnie since she had insulted Leo.

Meanwhile, Reuben also realized it and suddenly, his face darkened. "Apologize to Miss Henderson

now!"

Winnie became livid at the sight of her own husband yelling at her, but she refused to apologize.

"Apologize!" Reuben flared up and looked at Winnie with a scowl.

Suddenly, Marie was promoted to general manager of the J Group. If she agreed, Reuben would be

able to work with it instantly. However, this stupid woman actually ruined his business by mocking

Marie’s boyfriend.

Startled, Winnie couldn’t help but turn to Edwin.

Edwin frowned and said to Marie, "Marie, since we are all old classmates, why not give Winnie a

chance? Even if she did something wrong just now, can’t you be generous and forgive her?"

Marie sipped the wine slowly and put the glass down once she finished it.

Bang!

Everyone was shocked to see Marie smacking the glass down to the table with a bang.

Her gaze feel upon Winnie. " Winnie, I know you feel bitter about the fact that I don’t take the man you

like seriously, and you’ve been looking for a chance to retaliate against me, but I couldn’t care less. No

matter how an ugly duckling changes, she can never be a white swan. You shouldn’t have taken

advantage of others, especially him!"

Marie pointed at Leo and said in a grim voice, "It’ll only make me look down upon you even more."

"And you guys too!" Marie’s eyes ran over Dakota, Billie and Abigail’s faces. "I’m being generous not

being mad with you guys, so don’t push your luck."

Dakota, Billie and Abigail kept quiet out of fear, holding their breath.

Everyone stared solemnly at Marie, realizing she was being serious.

The next moment, Marie gave a soft smile though. "Shall we eat now?"

Dakota and the others came to their senses and kept nodding. "Of course, of course!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the box became warm and peaceful again.

Leo cast a look at Marie. It seemed that she had changed a lot during the internship, and he believed

that she was qualified to be the general manager now.

However, one of the guests was still clenching her teeth, her face distorted.

It was Winnie.

Ring ring ring…

At this moment, Leo’s phone rang.

He stood up immediately. "Excuse me, but I have to answer this call."

"Stop!" Winnie sprang to her feet and glared at Leo.

"What’s wrong?" Leo looked back at her.

Winnie replied with a sullen face, "If you dare to take a step further, you can never get back into this

room again!"

Marie put down her chopsticks upon hearing that, her eyes fixed on Winnie. "Seems that my words fell

on deaf ears."

Winnie scowled at Marie. "Maybe you are the general manager of the J Group, but don’t forget that I’m

sponsoring the class reunion today. If I tell someone to get away, he has to!"

Winnie vented all her anger on Leo.

Leo knit his brows. "I’ll just answer a call."

"No you can’t. Hand over your phones. No one can answer any call during my class reunion!" Winnie

looked around and growled.

Dakota, Billie and the others exchanged glances, while Edwin frowned. All of them could tell that

Winnie’s pride had been stung by Marie’s attitude just now.

"You are out of your mind." Leo pressed the answer key.

"How dare you answer your phone…" Winnie raised her voice and squealed.

"Shut up." Leo suddenly looked back at her, hostility flashing across his eyes.

For a moment, the air in the private box froze, and a shiver ran down everyone’s spine. All content is property © .

As for Winnie, she was covered with cold sweat, trembling all over.

"You… You…" She quivered like a candle in the wind, which could be blown out by the gust of wind,

Leo, at any time.

"I have to answer this call," Leo said in a cold voice.

But the next moment, he said to the phone in the most tender voice, "Hello? Lydia?"

Lydia was the only person who was able to make Leo change into a totally different person.

The call was from Lydia.
