The kitchen walls and ceiling were all ssed up, and a few pots were burned.
"No worries, I can sort it out myself," I shook my head
"You want to take on more stuff yourself? I’ve got people who can help, but you’re saying no?" Damon frowned.
I’m really swamped right now; I’ve never been this busy before. All the ho stuff has landed on my shoulders, with my parents who used to back up, one in a coma, the other in hot water.
I hesitated for a mont, then finally agreed, "Alright, I’ll be back after work, probably around six"
I’ve been running around all morning for my dad’s affairs, dealing with a bunch of relationship stuff. It was a real ss
Damon finally relaxed a bit, "Alright, I’ll tidy up the kitchen and leave you alone as promised"
I was taken aback, I didn’t have ti for all this right now.
But I casually pointed out, "Damon, this issue with my dad, it’s probably Ariel and Nancy ssing around behind the scenes and setting him up. And the reason Ariel’s doing all this is probably because of you."
Damon’s relaxed expression tightened again, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Hmm, I know. That’s why if there’s anything you need help with, I won’t turn you down."
I was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don’t need you to help with anything else, just one thing. Can you help find Jones? I haven’t been able to reach him since last night. I sent Mitch to the Smith family, but he was turned away" I looked at Damon earnestly: "Can you?
If Damon wanted to find Jones, he definitely had a way
But as soon as he heard Jones’s na, Damon’s expression changed. He seed annoyed.
I got the ssage. "It’s okay If you don’t want to help, you don’t have to."
Damon coldly asked. "You want him to help? He didn’t contact you when your dad was in trouble?"
I sighed, "I guess his parents stopped him. He said he found so clues that would help my dad and told to wait for him, but he never showed."
"Oh, so it was him you were waiting for in the rain last night." Damon tried to control his jealousy, but I could feel it.
I replied as if it was the most natural thing in the world. "Yes, isn’t that normal?"
Damon gave a cold laugh and waved his hand dismissively, "Sure, it’s normal. But it’s not normal to ask your ex-husband to help find your current boyfriend."
I was helpless. This guy said I could ask for his help, but when I really asked, he refused.
It was okay if he didn’t want to help. I wasn’t disappointed. I never really expected him to help in the first place. Given how my dad treated him in the past, I was sure he held a grudge.
As for Jones. I wanted Damon’s help, but he wasn’t interested. But he was all in when I asked him to help find soone to clean the kitchen. When I got ho in the evening, he had already brought a cleaning lady over.
I gave him a look, got the ssage, and didn’t say anything: I just went right in.
I thought only the cleaning lady would co in to clean the kitchen, and I didn’t expect Damon to co in too. As the CEO of Coleman Co., he has a ton of work to handle every day, but now he’s here at my place watching the cleaning lady clean the kitchen
"You go do your thing, I’ll check it out when she’s done," I poured a glass of water, sipped it, and told Damon.
Damon ignored , just watched the cleaning lady busy in the kitchen, very focused.
If he didn’t listen to , so be it.
After I finished my water, I opened up my laptop to do so work in the living room.
Harry hasn’t co back yet; I don’t know how things are going on his end.
As I was working, Damon’s figure appeared behind the sofa, and he said coldly, "You should really check your company’s finances"
"Why?" I turned around and asked.
"The financial data doesn’t match your company’s actual profit and loss for this quarter. Soone must be cooking the books". Damon sat next to . accurately pointing out the problem with the data on the screen
After hearing him, I was nothing but amazed.
"How do you know so much about my company?" I couldn’t help but ask curiously.
"I was married to you for five years. I know your company well. I’ve been keeping an eye on it these past two years, maybe not as detailed as before, but I have a general idea" Damon looked at , "You still
have a lot to learn. You’ve wasted too much ti on to the point where you’ve neglected your own company*
His serious lecturing made feel guilty. I awkwardly avoided his gaze, but I agreed with what he said.
Suddenly, Damon added, "But, if you hadn’t divorced , I could have helped you with all these problems."
I was silently annoyed at Damon. I didn’t want to be his accessory. If I were to be anyone’s accessory, it would only be my parents.
I know I’m not capable enough right now, but as long as I work hard, I can improve
"Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check the finances." I didn’t respond to Damon’s divorce comnt: I just thanked him for his advice.
"Hmm." Damon responded, but he didn’t leave. Just sat next to .
I didn’t want to continue working in front of him, so I closed the file and intentionally started a light- hearted TV show, waiting for Harry to co back.
Damon never liked these boring TV shows. Every ti he saw watching, he’d give a disapproving look.
But today, he watched quietly for a long ti and even laughed at so parts.
I felt a bit uncomfortable and was about to turn off the show.
"Let’s keep watching, it’s quite interesting." Damon leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, looking very relaxed.
"I don’t think it’s good." I said, and closed my laptop.
The cleaning lady ca over and politely said, "Mr. Coleman, I’ve cleaned the kitchen. You can go check it out now."
After hearing that, Damon got up, went to the kitchen to check things out, and I followed him.
She had cleaned up pretty well, except for the burnt pot that was yet to be replaced.
"Why are there still stains on the wall?" Damon suddenly pointed at the wall and asked.
"That might be hard to get rid of, unless we repaint it", the housekeeper replied
Just as I was about to speak, Damon turned to look at . "I’ll get soone to repaint it tomorrow, and I’ll also send you a new pot."
I shook my head, "No need, just leave it be. I don’t have ti to cook anyway."
"I don’t like owing people, so it’s settled." Damon completely ignored my objection.
