Chapter 393 In the End, He Compromised

"Okay." Davian answered respectfully, clutching the files and looking at him cautiously, but he did not dare to say anything more.

Gilbert still did not answer the phone. It was apparent that he deliberately did not answer the phone, but he seemed to be upset as if someone did not answer his call. His expression became even sullener after the phone stopped ringing.

Davian hated this call. 'Before this call came, Mr. Kooper was still quite normal and was discussing business with me. But when the call came, his face immediately turned surly. I really don't know what is wrong with him lately. In the past, he would be in a good mood when his wife called, and he would even reward me when he was on a high. But this time, it is the opposite. When I saw it was his wife who called, I reminded him to take the call, thinking that he would be happy. But it seems that I would have to pretend not to see anything next time.'

Gilbert leaned back in his chair, tapping the edge of the desk with his fingers while staring with cold eyes at the phone screen that had dimmed.

Davian felt Gilbert had recently become erratic again. He's the one who did not want to answer the phone, but he looks like he is expecting another call from his wife.'

Just as he was thinking, Gilbert's cell phone suddenly

rang again. Davian craned his neck and saw that it was Gilbert's wife calling again. He was so happy that he subconsciously reminded Gilbert again, "Mr. Kooper, Mrs. Kooper is calling again." He then realized that he should not have made a sound, and he hurriedly lowered his head and took a few steps back trying to reduce his sense of presence.

Gilbert said nothing. Just like earlier, he stared at the ringing phone with the same expressionless face.

As if because of compulsion, Davian felt anxious and wanted to answer the phone right away when he heard the phone keep ringing. He pursed his lips, and finally, he could not hold back any longer and said, "Mr. Kooper, your wife called twice in a row. I'm afraid she might have something urgent. Why don't you answer it?"

"None of your business. Get out." Gilbert shot a cold glance at him.

Davian quickly nodded his head. "I will leave now. Call me if you need me." With that, he went out like a bat out of hell.

After the door of the CEO's office closed, Gilbert stared at the caller ID on the phone screen for a few more seconds, then reached out his hand to pick it up. Just then, the ringing of his mobile phone stopped abruptly. Gilbert frowned, and a flash of anger rose within him. 'This

woman is freaking impatient, hanging up before the phone finished ringing.' He pushed the phone away in annoyance, then leaned back in his chair to take some shut-eye with his brows knitted together.

The CEO's office was quiet, as his phone did not make noise again after ringing twice. Feeling unusually upset, Gilbert spun the pen between his fingers until it was

about to fly out of his hand. After a long while, he cursed in a low voice as he finally could not resist the urge to pick up the phone. He retrieved the two missed calls and laughed at himself. 'Why didn't she call me again? If she did, I would have answered. But he still compromised and called her back. At all times, there was nothing he could do about her.
