Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 245: Justin Huxley’s Scheme to Meet Summer Lowell
Justin Huxley always had ambition as high as the sky, but because of the invisible shackles of his background, and living in the complex family dynamics of the Huxley Family, he gradually developed a skill in manipulating people without showing any emotion.
His capability combined with the invisible constraints from the external environment left him no choice but to manipulate people to achieve his goals.
Justin Huxley looked at Vivian Sullivan, who despite trying hard to conceal it, couldn’t hide her guarded attitude from him. He calmly softened his approach: "After all, she was the little girl I saved back then. Her childhood was truly difficult, and it was hard enough to make her open up. I don’t have the heart to see her withdraw again."
Also lamenting Summer Lowell’s experiences, Vivian Sullivan nodded in agreement: "I was worried about this before too, but Summer is very strong. I have known her for so many years and never saw her give in. I’m sure it will be the same this time."
"That’s good to hear, but if I may say something a bit inappropriate," Justin Huxley awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, "please take care of Summer, Dr. Sullivan. Maxim Sinclair is very guarded against me, and I can’t get close, so I must trouble you, who has no spare time at all."
"It’s alright, I put her first," Vivian Sullivan waved her hand to show that he needn’t worry. The vigilance that was aroused earlier was completely dispelled by Justin Huxley’s few words.
That evening, as soon as Vivian Sullivan returned home, she called Summer Lowell and recounted the entire meeting with Justin Huxley to her.
Summer Lowell, after hearing it, didn’t feel particularly moved; she only felt a headache.
She felt like she had become a battlefield for Justin Huxley and Maxim Sinclair’s struggle, with both competing to perform, while all she wanted was to stay away.
Maxim Sinclair had already guessed that Justin Huxley would never give up easily and might take a detour to find Vivian Sullivan, so he had arranged for someone to keep an eye on her ahead of time.
Yesterday, after Justin Huxley took Vivian Sullivan out for over an hour-long conversation, Maxim Sinclair received the information.
But considering Vivian Sullivan’s special status, as someone pursued by his subordinate and also Summer’s best friend,
he didn’t take any action.
The warning was already given last time, so it wasn’t appropriate to use that method again. Thus, he decided to use Charles Jenson as a persuader to thoroughly explain to Vivian Sullivan just how cunning Justin Huxley really is.
On his way home, he thought about it the whole time and finally decided not to mention Justin Huxley’s meeting with Vivian Sullivan.
After all, to Summer Lowell, Justin Huxley is like a white moonlight—highlighting his faults too much would only trigger her rebelliousness.
With his understanding of Summer’s temperament, it was better to take it slow.
At least for the time being, he couldn’t do much. He decided to hold his ground and observe what Justin Huxley intended to do, making plans based on Justin’s actions later.
Three days later, Summer Lowell, invited by Vivian Sullivan, arrived at a private restaurant, only to find Justin Huxley also present as soon as she sat down.
Having just promised Summer not to tell Maxim Sinclair’s bodyguards, the moment she walked out, she sent the captured scene to Maxim Sinclair, who was in a meeting.
In the conference room, a branch executive, speaking nervously, suddenly saw Maxim Sinclair’s face turn gloomy, causing his voice to tremble.
Charles Jenson, who didn’t think the executive’s speech had any issues, moved closer and whispered to Maxim Sinclair to find out the reason.
Maxim Sinclair handed over the photo he received, and Charles Jenson signaled to the still-nervous executive that his presentation was fine, then quietly asked Maxim Sinclair, "Should I call Vivian and ask her to take Miss Lowell away from there?"
Maxim Sinclair thought about Summer, who was still in a cold war with him over his phone monitoring, and shook his head: "No, the more we forcefully bring her back, the more she’ll be displeased; let’s continue the meeting. I know what to do."
Charles Jenson also didn’t want to get involved in this matter since his relationship with Vivian Sullivan had stalled for too long because of Summer and Maxim. He hoped that the two of them would reconcile, preferably with a great reconciliation.
But given the current situation, it was clear as day that Justin Huxley was using Summer to deal with Maxim Sinclair.
The more complex the situation, the less outsiders should intervene, even if Vivian Sullivan is Summer’s best friend.
He personally always believed in not interfering in other people’s relationships.
This time, the usually assertive Maxim Sinclair encountered the overly independent Summer Lowell.
When two strong wills meet, one must bow their head first to ease the tension. As for who will bow first, that’s up to the unfolding of events to reveal.
After the meeting, the branch executive waited for Maxim Sinclair to leave before stopping Charles Jenson, who was about to walk out: "President Jennings, I didn’t say anything wrong just now, did I? President Sinclair’s face suddenly changed and scared me to death."
Charles Jenson laughed heartily, patting the other on the shoulder to comfort him: "It’s nothing to do with you, there’s just someone clueless trying to undermine President Sinclair, and he’s troubled by it."
Not understanding the deeper meaning, the executive took it upon themselves to interpret it as someone plotting in the shadows, trying to steal the Sinclair Group’s projects, so he seized the opportunity to assure: "President Jennings, don’t worry, our branch will closely guard all our projects, not letting anyone take even the smallest project."
"It’s good to have that awareness. I won’t talk more; I have something to report to President Sinclair." Charles Jenson sent the person off with a few words and returned to his office, took out his phone to contact Vivian Sullivan, thinking of gleaning any bit of information.
In the private restaurant, Vivian Sullivan stepped outside to take a phone call.
With Vivian Sullivan gone, the atmosphere setter, Summer Lowell, and Justin Huxley sat facing each other, each couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.
After the smiles, Justin Huxley sighed: "Summer, how have you been lately? Seeing you again, for some reason, feels a bit awkward."
Summer Lowell also smiled awkwardly: "Senior, you came here today specifically to see me, didn’t you?"
Justin Huxley nodded: "I was a bit worried about your situation. When Vivian mentioned wanting to meet up with you these days, I thought I’d take this opportunity to see you."
"Well, you’ve seen me now, and I’m doing alright," Summer said as she pinched her face, "I weighed myself yesterday and found I’ve gained quite a bit."
Justin Huxley smiled after hearing that: "That’s good to know, makes me feel at ease."
With Vivian Sullivan still outside on the phone call, the two sat silently, each enveloped in their complex emotions.
After a while, Justin Huxley, holding a teacup, occasionally looked up at Summer Lowell while sipping tea.
It was clear he had something to say.
By the time he looked up for the third time, Summer Lowell met his gaze directly: "Senior, you can speak freely."
