Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 466 - 252 Mixed Doubles_2

She wanted to let this website experience the counterattack of a mother protecting her child.

If they didn’t make an example out of someone, who knows what worse things might happen in the future.

With Atlas Hallow’s temperament, he certainly wouldn’t let those people off easily. It was his duty as a father to teach them a lesson; it didn’t clash with her responsibilities.

Charlotte Miller’s lips suddenly curved into a smile as she abruptly thought of a term, mixed doubles.

Was this considered a joint lesson from Atlas and her? Mixed doubles of a male and female team?

However, thinking about it, Atlas might be more brutal and violent, while she might just target people economically; she couldn’t do anything too bloody.

"Working late?" Annie Gray was somewhat puzzled. There didn’t seem to be much work today. Besides focusing on acquiring Hallow Clan shares, Howard Investments didn’t have much else going on.

Personally, she supported the idea that quality was more important than quantity in business. Taking control of Hallow Clan would surely be excellent, with substantial dividends each year.

So, does tonight require overtime? It really seemed like there was nothing to do, she didn’t even know what to add, wasn’t that too negligent?

If she wanted to keep pace with her boss, she might have to do more homework in various aspects.

When dealing with Charlotte Miller usually, she didn’t seem like those so-called strong women: decisive, assertive, swift in action. But what she lacked on the surface, she made up for internally.

From her current observations, Atlas Hallow liked Charlotte Miller. If Charlotte wanted something, he would give it to her, yet she wanted to enter Hallow Clan in this way, which indeed showed she had different ideas.

She probably sought that equality that allowed one to look at the world from a high position. When could she be like Charlotte?

"I’ll keep you company, anyway, there’s nothing else to do." Learning more is never a bad thing. Charlotte wasn’t superior in everything, like in administrative management and human resources; she was indeed better at those. But in terms of professional venture capital, she was far behind Charlotte.

When she finished that sentence, Annie nearly bit her tongue.

Something felt off, just a slight panic in her heart.

"That’s really hard on you, but it won’t end until four in the morning. Can you manage?" Having someone with you meant the office wouldn’t feel empty; it really would be much better. However, having to continue with morning work right after, only sleeping three or four hours would be tough for a girl.

"I have a rest area in my office; I won’t go home today. I’ll go prepare some food later; I easily get hungry around one or two o’clock. President Miller, what would you like to eat? I can bring it back together," Annie checked the time, thinking she would go get some food later. Drinking black coffee all night wasn’t good for the stomach either.

"Anything’s fine, just nothing greasy." Eating greasy food at night makes her lack energy the next day, and her entire face swells up. Sometimes she wondered if she was getting old.

Annie nodded and left Charlotte’s office, turning to go out. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Before it was even quitting time, Annie’s phone started ringing. She picked it up and saw it was Joseph Shaw calling.

Suddenly, she remembered this was really a problem. She checked the date and realized today was indeed the day.

The last time he stopped her on the road, she happened to have something to do and couldn’t go hang out with him, so she casually said, "How about next Tuesday?"

Sweat started to form on her forehead; today was really Tuesday. Oh dear, she was in trouble now.

No matter how good the friend, it was still a boss-subordinate relationship, and Charlotte had helped her so much. She just said she’d stay up all night with her, how could she say she had something now?

Oh dear...

Annie thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and simply didn’t answer.

He couldn’t just storm into the office to catch her, could he?

Sometimes she wondered why she was so insipid. After finally splitting up with him, she ended up as a casual hookup in the end.

Really, it was her silly brain that took her back down the old path. Annie sighed to herself, wondering why she kept going backward?

These past couple of years, she had more surplus finances, but emotionally, she was still entangled endlessly with Joseph Shaw.

His famous model fiancée had a great family background, high education, and beauty - a standard nine-head goddess. She didn’t even know why she was still entangled with him?
