Chapter 186

Madeline's face tuned red. She subconsciously touched her cheek and said, "W-what are you doing?

"Nothing Just saying hello" Caleb save that Madeline looked cute and dazed, so he straightened her pajama collar to cover the scenery below her

"Tin going to take a shower," he said. "Ask the housekeepers to make whatever you want to eat. Caleb got up and left to take a cold shower in his Madeline was still sitting on the couch, looking stupid. She slept in Caleb's arms last night and got kissed early in the morning? Strange. I didn't drusk or do anything last night, she pandered.

Her hair was a little messy. She scratched her head, wondering why she ran into a man's arms. Was 1...sleepwalking?" she thought.

"Ms. Larson" Sarah respectfully came over and asked, "What would you like to eat for breakfast? II prepare it."

Madeline was still a little suspicious. "Wait. Last night. What happened after I fell asleep here last night?"

*Sorry, I'm not sure." Sarah lowered her head with a smile on her face. Caleb had always been a terrible man, and they were all afraid of him. But alter years of working for him, they didn't expect him to be so gentle. It was somewhat surprising Il go upstairs to wash up."

"Oh, forget it" Madeline hugged the pillow and shook her head. "Make something light for breakfast. 171

Madeline changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. Caleb was already sitting at the table. He was in a video conference with a tablet in front of him as if nothing had happened.

She took a closer look and quickly had aside to avoid being seen. However, even if she swayed for only a moment, everyone else in the meeting had

seen her.

They pretended nothing happened, but they all knew that Caleb was living with a pretty girl! She even looked familiar, kind of like the CEO of Glorious Group...

There was a complicated look in everyone's eyes as they wondered, Did Mr. Sammons support his lover to become the CEO, and even bring her home for New Year's?

Suddenly, many people were speculating. Could this girl become the boss' wife one day?

"Mr. Linden, what are you staring at Caleb said coldly. "Do you need me to repeat it?"

The manager coughed and said, "Mr. Simmons, let me tell you about the partners we've contacted this quarter..."

Caleb lowered his gaze and listened to him while drinking some milk. Madeline hurriedly sat askle and didn't dare to make a sound. After all, Caleb was doing his job.

A housekeeper came over with breakfast and asked, "Ms. Larson, would you like some fruit!"

Madeline hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need. Caleb's in a video conference. Shh She raised her index finger and made a gesture of silence. The housekeeper glanced at her and nodded "Maddie," Caleb suddenly said.

Madeline turned around and replied quietly. "What?"

"It's dry in winter. You should eat fruits to stay hydrated. Ask the housekeepers to buy you something to eat," he explained.

Madeline pursed her lips and said, "Okay." She looked away and continued to eat breakfast, but her heart was already in a mess. She u calm around Caleb, but since last night... She felt a little guilty, used to be very

In the video, the manager was quiet. He waited until Caleb looked at the camera before continuing. Madeline also eavesdropped. After all, she was a professional in this industry so it was good to listen in-

The manager said, "For this quarter's tertiary industry, we have established cooperations with True Health, the Lane family, Sunrise Company and Lanon Group-

"Wait" Caleb put down his glass and said, "As in the Larson fa

family in the capital? Which Larson family do yo

do you mean?"

"One of the Top Ten Families. Our company has never cooperated with these families before, and the Larson family won the bibling this time,

die manager began.

"Find a way to eliminate the Larson family. Caleb's tone was cold and his eyes were filled with displeasure.

The manager didn't dare to question Caleb. Understood." He thought to himself, 'It seems the Larson family has offended Mr. Simmons. I worked hard to get the cooperation, and he blew it off so easily. You never know... After he finished the meeting, Madeline asked, "Caleb, why did you kick out the Larson family?"

Caleb glanced at her and said while smiling, "We aren't shorthanded, and we don't need an annoying family spoiling the mood."

Yesterday, the Larson family dared to act arrogant in front of Madeline. Naturally, Caleb wouldn't give them a chance. He sighed. "Well, it's no big deal. Don't worry about it. Hurry and have breakfast. If you lose weight, Nolan will worry about you again." Since Caleb didn't want to talk about it anymore, Madeline didn't continue. She had a small appetite and rubbed her stomach. I'm full."

*So quickly? Then I'll have to supervise you. Eat more. If you really don't want to eat, I'll feed you myself." As Caleb spoke, he picked up a bowl of oatmeal and stirred it with a spoon, ready to feed Madeline.

"No. I'm full!" Madeline blushed and got up quickly. As soon as she pulled the stool away, Caleb grabbed her. Even though Caleb was sitting, he only needed to raise his hand to grab her waist. It looked ambiguous.

"Yo!" Suddenly, a cheerful male voice called. Then, a man entered. He wore a loose coat, a shirt underneath, black trousers, and a pair of mid-length

boots.

He seemed free and easygoing. He had a handsome face, slanted eyebrows, and slightly narrow eyes. There was always a smile under his high nose bridge. He looked unbridled and flamboyant.

He walked towards Madeline, pulled her into his arms, and declared, "Madeline, you promised to let me marry into your family. Why are you getting involved with him? Is it because I'm not handsome enough? Not rich enough?" Eugene smiled, looked at her face, and tilted his head. "I came here just to discuss marrying you, I [

g you. I feel so sad

sad seeing this.

Caleb felt robbed. He snorted and didn't bother to argue with Eugene. He put down the hot oatmeal and said, "Who asked you to come without saying hello?"

Eugene raised his eyebrows and said, "If I don't come, what if you eat up Maddie? I'll hide in the bathroom and cry to death."

"Eugene, stop joking. Madeline broke away from Eugene and stood aside in embarrassment You've been so frivolous for years now. You can't event behave yourself, yet you still want to talk about marriage?

Madeline's eyes were unnatural. Eugene happened to bump into her. She cleared her throat and said, "Eugene, aren't you on a mission?"

"Mission? What mission?" Eugene approached her with a smile and a teasing gaze. "I promised you that I'd always be good in front of you. So Let's not talk about anything else. I suggest you consider how much dowry you want from me.." Caleb's face darkened. He frowned and said, "You're noisy
