Chapter 335Their actions seemed to have switched places.Delbert propped his head up and watched as Harriet's cheeks puffed up while eating. A smile formed on his face.Harriet sensed his gaze and curiously looked up at him. "Why are you looking at me? Aren't you going to eat yours?" she said."You are gorgeous!" Delbert said.He picked up a napkin and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.Harriet blushed, feeling the lingering warmth on her lips."You eat like a kitten. You are adorable!" he said with a magnetic voice.The romantic atmosphere continued until the end of the dinner.After leaving the restaurant, they found themselves on a bustling market street.Delbert didn't rush to take Harriet back to the island. Instead, he led her to stroll down the street, enjoying the night view.Unconsciously, they held each other's hands.After a while, a girl about ten years old ran toward them.She wore a flower crown on her head and a pink and white dress, carrying a basket.
Chapter 336Harriet held the roses, too shy to speak.She silently followed behind Delbert until his voice stopped echoing in her mind.But she started to think about the company.Blake was now her biggest threat. His power was deeply rooted within the Munoz Group. It was difficult to remove it in a short time.Dealing with those petty people gave her headaches.She sighed under her breath."What's wrong?" Delbert asked upon hearing it.Harriet raised her head and saw his worried face.As if he could read her mind, he continued to ask, "Is it about the Munoz Group?"Harriet didn't hide anything. Instead, she told him everything that had happened at the company.Delbert heard her out and fell into deep thought.If it were any other time, he would have given his order to expel Blake from the Munoz Group and even from Meawood City.But after the argument they had last time, he had learned to respect Harriet's wishes. He wouldn't do anything against her will.So, he just chuc
Chapter 337Delbert's hair was neat, and he looked like a kind neighbor.This version of him was completely different from the decisive and efficient CEO in the business world before.Harriet couldn't understand why he needed to dress up like this just for a visit to the Munoz Group. Delbert smiled and took her arm, pulling her into his embrace."From now on, I'm not Delbert anymore. I'm your assistant, Darryl. I'll help you establish authority in front of those people," he said, his breath assailing her ear.She knew that, with his possessive nature, he wouldn't easily let her go to the Munoz Group.But she didn't expect that his solution would be to dress up as her assistant and go with her.Only someone like Delbert could come up with such an idea."Aren't you afraid of being recognized by those foxy people?" she said, trying to distract Delbert from getting too intimate with her.Delbert stroked her head, firmly saying, "They won't."He was always prepared before acting
Chapter 338Seeing the worried look on the secretary's face, Harriet didn't say anything but followed her straight to the conference room.Pushing open the door, Harriet saw exactly what the female secretary had described. The seats were filled with executives and shareholders of the Munoz Group.Everyone had already arrived, leaving only the main seat empty for her.As soon as Harriet entered the conference room, she received several unfriendly gazes.Today was her first day as the Chairman of Munoz Group, and being late aroused dissatisfaction among the employees. That was what Blake wanted.His eyes were filled with smugness.He was about to approach Harriet with false concern when he noticed a man behind her. The big glasses and bangs almost covered half of Delbert's face.The aura he was exuding rang a bell.Blake glanced at Delbert and asked with a fake smile, "Harriet, who is this?"Delbert took a step forward to introduce himself and protect Harriet."Mr. Munoz. I am
Chapter 339The shareholder had thought the assistant was a nobody hired by Harriet. No matter how outstanding Darryl was, he couldn't pose any threat.However, Darryl's presentation struck him dumb.Given Darryl's charisma, he could be their CEO.And just now, the shareholder had just insulted his boss, Harriet.The shareholder was dejected.'Didn't Blake say that Harriet was ignorant and easy to bully?' He thought.But even her assistant was so capable. Harriet remained composed the entire time, and the shareholder was terrified.After giving his presentation, Delbert stepped down from the stage and stood behind Harriet.With Delbert supporting her, Harriet had nothing to fear.In the chairman's seat, she noticed their surprised gazes and felt proud.She looked at the shareholder and scoffed, "Mr. Cunningham, are you satisfied with my assistant's proposal? Do you need me to elaborate?""S-satisfied," stammered the shareholder.He had just mocked Harriet for not having en
Chapter 340Harriet looked up at Delbert's handsome face.In the sunlight, he looked dashing.The tenderness in his eyes caused Harriet's heart to skip a beat."What are you up to again?" she said."Not much. Just wanted to know if you're satisfied with my performance today," said Delbert seductively.Harriet's mind went blank, and her cheeks turned rosy."Um, I'm satisfied," she murmured."Time to get back to work. I'll go get the documents for you," Delbert said, brushing her nose with his finger.He smiled and left the office.But just as he took a few steps, a familiar voice came from behind. "Darryl."Delbert turned to see Blake standing not far away.Blake approached him with praise. "Your performance in the meeting impressed me. You truly are an exceptional talent."Delbert narrowed his eyes, knowing that Blake was up to no good.Blake didn't mind Delbert's arrogance and continued to butter him up. But before they could exchange a few more words, Blake couldn't wai
Chapter 341Blake had been in the business world for a long time, and he could tell that there was more to Delbert's words. When he realized that Delbert was mocking his ambition to climb the ladder, he was left speechless.He wanted to retort, but words failed him. He could only watch Delbert walk past him.As soon as Delbert disappeared from his sight, Blake angrily returned to his office.He thought about Delbert's mocking words and felt uneasy.Since the Munoz Group was now under his control, it should belong to him. What made Harriet think she could compete with him?After a busy day, it was finally time to go home.Delbert took Harriet home early.Most of the people in the company had already gone home, but Blake remained in his office, staring at the photos sent by his subordinates.The photos showed Darryl escorting Harriet out of the company.Blake finally understood why Darryl was so protective of Harriet. Even when Blake offered a high price to poach him, Darryl re
Chapter 342Delbert noticed Harriet's gaze and meaningfully smiled."Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" he said."Why did you laugh so happily after checking out the message? Is something going on?" Harriet asked.Delbert revealed everything. "Well, Blake just sent me a message, telling me about your affair.""Me having an affair? How is that possible?" Harriet rolled her eyes.A smile filled Delbert's eyes. "And the person you had an affair with is me.""So, Blake not only didn't recognize you but also mistook you for a kept man?" Harriet laughed, realizing the situation. "I suddenly want to see the shocked expression on his face when he finds out your true identity.""Let's take our time!" Delbert rubbed her hair and gently smiled.After a pause, he suddenly remembered something and parked the car on the side of the road."Well, I have to deal with something at the Carlson Group tomorrow, so I can't accompany you. Let Cory go with you tomor
