Chapter 66
Her credit card was limited!
How could he say so!
Diana was very depressed and looked unhappy when she came out of the party. When the driver drove to the headquarters building of Lux Hotel Group, she kept looking out the window angrily.
Maybe it was New Year's Eve tomorrow, everyone was in a pleasant atmosphere, so the driver chatted with Diana humorously while waiting for the traffic light.
However, Diana didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and she didn't know what she was staring out of the window.
The driver glanced at her in the rear-view mirror and didn't speak to her any further.
The inside of the carriage became silent for a moment, but Diana was thinking about so many things.
She thought: Josh Hunter! You are such an asshole! Do you think that I am just a woman who likes your money? Well, maybe she was, but now, she has already fallen for him, don't you see that! How could you not understand my heart!
He did not even think of it why would I easily forgive the unforgivable mistake of being attacked by the Internet just because of a small island!
If she didn't love him, why would she risk being reprimanded by her father-in-law and rush into the study to deliver him the soup?
If she didn't love him, how would she would do everything he wanted!
She was so angry right now!
When she arrived at Lux Hotel Group, Diana, who was angry, put on the sunglasses before getting out of the car.
She went to a birthday party today, wearing a burgundy dress and an off-white cashmere coat. The shunning high-heeled, flashing from the vamp to the heels, with thin crystal straps went around the slender foot bones, and every step shone with a fine stream of light. Perhaps because of this outfit, the thermal insulation bucket she was carrying looked like the limited edition one.
Josh Hunter was currently on a video call with Nathan Jones in the office.
Nathan was always good at noticing everything, and he caught a glimpse of the monitor next to him, and suddenly smiled. He took a picture of the monitor and sent it to the group, and interrupted the call by the way.
Nathan Jones: [We would better stop chatting, your wife is here.]
Eric Cook: [Is this Diana? She is so beautiful even in the surveillance! ]
Rein Garcia kept saying compliments to Diana: [That's her! She is such a woman who can always be elegant even in the low-temperature weather of minus eight degrees!]
Josh ignored them, glanced at the screen of the surveillance, and called Sam Rodriguez to pick her up.
But as soon as the phone rang, he hung up, because Sam had already appeared in the corner of the surveillance screen.
After Sam had made mistakes several times, as a general assistant, he suddenly understood what he needed to pay attention for.
Knowing that Diana Swift would come to the office, he specifically let the driver should send him a letter before they arrived at the first three traffic lights at the company.
When Diana got out of the car and walked in, he was at the door waiting for her arrival.
He carefully accompanied Diana and led the way, he was respectful to her, even said with flattering, "Mrs. Hunter, please let me take this. Mrs. Hunter, this way please."
But Diana did not even look at him, she just nodded.
Walking into the special elevator only for the CEO, Diana glanced at the button of the sixty-eighth floor, and suddenly asked, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, Mr. Rodriguez, aren't you going back to your hometown?"
Sam replied, "I will, and Mr. Hunter specially arranged a plane for me to go home early tomorrow morning."
He also smiled and told her how nice Josh Hunter was, "Mr. Hunter also prepared so many gifts for my parents and asked me to take them home. He said it was because I didn't go home for the Chinese New Year in A Country two years ago, so let me go back and spend time with my parents this time, these gifts are all his wishes."
The more Sam said, the more aggrieved Diana felt.
Come on, she didn't want to hear these!
She thought that Sam Rodriguez must have suffered a lot by Josh Hunter's side, and he would definitely tell her something about Josh Hunter that she had never known. But she never thought that this guy would be so happy about Josh's kindness.
He already let her down! And Diana thought that he wasn't able to be her friend.
She wanted to signal Sam Rodriguez to stop talking nonsense immediately, but in the next second Sam Rodriguez suddenly mentioned how hard it was for Josh Hunter to make amends for the loss he suffered from returning to China early these days.
Diana Swift was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked, "Well, how much did he lose?"
Sam stopped talking when he heard her ask this question. Somehow he felt embarrassed, but Diana kept asking, and because it wasn't a commercial secret, Sam hesitated for a moment but then he stuck out a finger.
"One hundred million?"
"Is it dollars?"
Sam Rodriguez stretched out another hand and showed her zero.
"...One billion?"
Sam counted in his heart, and answered quickly, "The sum of the twelve investment funds is one billion dollars."
Diana Swift was silent after she heard his words.
Although she was not familiar with numbers, she knew that Josh Hunter's property was far more than this amount. But she also understood that a billion dollars were a lot for a personal investment.
The anger that was brewing on the way when she came was gone by this a billion dollars lost. At the same time, she even felt guilty. If it wasn't her mistake, the investment would not have been lost.
"Madam, here it's."
When the elevator reached the top floor, Sam Rodriguez pressed the button and reminded Diana when she was in a daze.
All the way into the CEO's office, Ji Mingshu wasn't happy, and the feeling of guilt became stronger when she got closer to Josh Hunter.
She stood in front of Josh Hunter's desk, her eyelashes were lowered, and she silently opened the heat preservation bucket, and whispered, "This is the chicken soup for you, you can drink a little to warm your body. This store is very popular and they say it's real stuff."
Josh didn't say anything about her actions.
When he asked on WeChat before whether the things she wanted to buy exceeded the limit of the supplementary card, she was obviously very angry and accused him of thinking she only got vanity.
And when he saw her on the screen of the surveillance just now, it looked like she came here for that matter.
He took off his glasses and scooped a small spoon from the small bowl that Diana Swift gave him.
Well, it was nothing weird with the taste.
He glanced at Diana, "Just take a seat."
But Diana just leaned against his desk, playing with the lid of the thermal insulation bucket in her hand, and was unwilling to move.
There was water vapor on the inward side of the lid of the insulation bucket. Diana didn't pay much attention to the circle outside the lid, it just dropped to the ground.
After a long while, she put down the cover and moved slightly. Just as she was about to say something to Josh, she was caught off guard and slipped by the water on the ground.
She accidentally fell into Josh Hunter's arms.
Josh was still holding the spoon in one hand, and he didn't move. In contrast, at the moment she sat down, Diana spontaneously wrapped around his neck.
Both Josh and Diana were shocked.
Diana Swift was stunned, his brain went blank for about four or five seconds before she realized what had just happened.
When she looked at him, she could read the teasing in Josh Hunter's eyes.
At this moment, Diana wanted to deny and defend herself for what she had done.
Thinking of this, Diana took her arms off.
But Josh has put down the spoon, and his hands have been wrapped around her waist.
"Wait...wait!"
"I'm not..... it's because the floor is...too slippery, and I didn't mean to!"
Josh had already looked at her collarbone when she talked, but he still agreed with her, "Okay, I will change the floor after the holiday."
It was obvious that he didn't take her explanation seriously.
Diana Swift blushed because of it. And she just let the thing happen when she looked at Josh's eyes.
When she noticed that Josh's hand had touched her body, she didn't stop him and hugged him directly.
While Josh touched her, she whispered about the business, "I heard grandpa and dad say in the study a few days ago that you came back from Paris early, but Toby had ruined your project, I'm sorry..."
Josh Hunter was surprised that she would mention this matter.
She felt guilty, and whispered again, "Otherwise, don't buy that island first. The place where could see the aurora is all in the Arctic Circle. It must be very cold. And we can't always go there, and the maintenance cost is very high."
"Meanwhile, I can not go shopping often in the future, and the ring you gave me last time, I didn't have a chance to wear it, otherwise how about I pay it to you."
"It's not a big deal, I'm not that poor." He rubbed Diana's head, and he felt release when he knew what she was thinking.
Diana was a little happy to keep the island and the ring. Frankly speaking, she didn't want to sell them.
She sat on his lap and swayed her legs restlessly, and for some reason, she mentioned Toby Hunter again, and defense for him in a low voice, "Actually, it is not easy for Toby's business, he's still not getting used to his life now, do you understand? Can you imagine the difference..."
Of course Josh Hunter could understand, he could even understand why Toby Hunter still could not let it go after so many years.
In fact, there were still some things about the Hunter family that were not known to outsiders, and people like Diana Swift who was close to the Hunter family were not aware of it, and he did not want her to know it too.
It was far better to always be happy and simple than to carry the burden of the past.
Just like he didn't want to tell her the truth of the incident, and he did not want to destroy the beautiful image of her brother Toby who had given her warmth in childhood.
It didn't mean he would allow Diana to mention other men in front of him all the time.
Diana Swift wanted to say more, but Josh Hunter suddenly kissed her gently.
Diana Swift could not resist him. In just a few seconds, she was lost in this tenderness, and what awaited her was his desire.
She struggled back and forth, whimpering and trying to speak out, but Josh Hunter didn't give her the chance.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Josh had pressed a key on the touch panel on the desktop. The button glowed slightly, with a slash on it, meaning "do not disturb".
She didn't have time to think deeply, because after the kiss was over, Josh hugged her and got up again, and put her on the corner of the desk.
The desk was cold and hard, and it was uncomfortable to sit on it.
Seeing Josh carelessly wiping her lower lip with his fingertips, Diana leaned back subconsciously. But Josh also leaned forward and put his hands on her both sides.
His pupils were dark, and he just stared at her, loosening his collar at will, and moving his Adam's apple slightly.
The air instantly became quiet, and they stared at each other.
Diana's ears were red, and she asked cautiously, "In the office?"
