Chapter 1238 Fallen For Her
The public knew that the Zeigler family was strict with their rules. Moreover, Yuvan was the son of Phineus, the
commanding officer in Baykeep.
If Yuvan were to tell the media that he and Eurydice were just friends, he would surely affect Phineus' reputation
and delay the time for his promotion.
For the sake of the Zeigler family, Yuvan would have no choice but to announce to the public that he and Eurydice
had been engaged long before. That way, he and Eurydice entering a hotel room together would seem logical and
natural.
However, if he were to announce that, the Gaudette family and the Zeigler family would be bound together.
The news didn't bring much shock to Armand. Despite his solemn expression, his tone still sounded calm and
composed as he spoke. “I shall see what other tricks they have up their sleeves.”
Cooper wasn't worried when he saw that Armand seemed to have his own plans.
As Armand grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth after finishing breakfast, he said to Cooper, “Since you're so

He then added jokingly, “There's nothing much I can do if the employees in the company request a new CEO.”
Cooper grew agitated as if someone had stepped on his toes. “Why would I be concerned about her? I just think
that she's not a woman of her word by leaving without informing—”
“Three hundred and second,” Armand interrupted.
“What?”
Armand placed the napkin on the table and heaved a sigh. “You have called Sally 'not a woman of her word' for
three hundred and two times in total from the moment I returned until now. You're repeating yourself.”
Upon hearing that, Cooper held his forehead in frustration. “I'm just too hung up over this matter.”
“You are not hung up over this matter. You are bothered by the fact that she ran away,” Armand corrected Cooper.
Armand paused for a moment before continuing, “Even though Sally left without informing you, her father had
exerted much effort dealing with the Gaudette family. After that, she single-handedly took down Zeke and his son,
resulting in the end of Zeke's career. Since you and Sally are merely accomplices, she has done her part and did
not go back on her words.”
Cooper wanted to refute Armand but everything the latter said was right.
He could not find the words to rebut.
Armand stood up from the chair as he said, “You have obviously fallen for her. You can barely sleep and are
troubled because of her. And yet, you are afraid to admit that. You are also mad at her for being gone. That's why
you were going on and on about what she did wrong.”
Every word he said hit close to home for Cooper. The latter lifted his head and looked at Armand in disbelief.
“How did you know that?” he blurted out.
After saying that, Cooper realized he had just indirectly admitted that he had fallen for Sally.
Unfortunately, the words that escaped his lips were not like the messages in WhatsApp, which one could unsend.
Cooper massaged his temples and asked curiously, “Since you know women so well, how come you used to make
Genev mad from time to time in the past?”
Armand let out a wry chuckle. “Well, onlookers see most of the game.”
Armand had a lot of things to tend to and no longer had time to chat with Cooper. The former picked up his jacket
from the chair and went out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a while, Cooper packed up and went to the company as well.
The office of the secretarial department had fully transparent glass on three sides. Everyone stole discreet glances
at the corridor and noticed Cooper passing by. Though he was frowning, the aura he emanated was no longer as
gloomy.
“Looks like Mr. Sutton's mood has improved today.”
Although Cooper was not as irritated that day, everyone still passed all the documents to Bertilla, letting him
shoulder the task of delivering them to Cooper. Words couldn't describe how exasperated Bertilla was.
The landline on the desk rang when Bertilla was about to bring the files to the CEO's office.
“Hello? This is the secretarial department.”
The caller revealed her name and identity. “Mr. White, I am Yasmin. I heard that Mr. Sutton has come into the
office. I need to talk to him about something.”
Bertilla answered, “Call Mr. Sutton's phone if this is a personal matter. If this is about work, ask your department
head to come over and do the talking.”
Just as Bertilla was about to hang up, he grumbled to himself, I can't believe there's such an idiot in the company.
Why call the secretarial department when she has taken a fancy to the boss? Is she trying to get herself fired?
Just then, Yasmin added, “Tell Mr. Sutton that I want to talk to him about Ms. Loake.”
