Chapter 7 A Gift

“Mr. Barone, I borrowed you 16 thousand dollars last time, and I want to return it to you. But I feel embarrassed to ask for your bank account, so I want to return it to you in person. Do you think it’s okay?” Eloise was very humble, waiting for the coming
storm.
Eloise made this call because she wanted to complete the task assigned by Brian, and she was sure that Callan wouldn’t agree.
“Okay,” Callan said.
“What?” Eloise’s eyes widened. This was beyond her expectation.
She took a glance at Brian.
Eloise felt that she was tricked, and she didn’t know what Callan was going to do.
She kept thinking about Callan’s purpose in her heart, so she reacted slowly.
“Are you serious?” Callan asked Eloise when he heard Eloise’s
reaction.
“Yes, I want to return the money. Mr. Barone, where do you want us to meet?” Eloise asked.
Chapter 7 A Gift
“You choose the place,” Callan said.
“How about Arvin Club?” Eloise asked.
2/7
Brian told her this place just now. It was a high–end club, very suitable for talking about business.
“Okay,” Callan said.
Eloise thought that Callan had a rare good temper today. Maybe this was the darkness before dawn.
“What about the time?” Eloise asked again.
“Now.” Callan’s tone was firm.
Eloise was even more astonished. She could hear Callan’s
eagerness, and he even couldn’t wait to come out.
It was true that Callan couldn’t wait to go out. He knew what kind of person Beatrice was. She would cry sadly even though she was wronged a little as if the whole world owed her, and it was difficult to coax her.
“I have something to go out now,” Callan said coldly.
“Callan, let me go with you.” Beatrice stood up and stared at Callan earnestly.
She looked pitiful as if Callan would be struck by lightning if he didn’t take her with him.

“Okay.” Callan agreed.
3/7
He wanted to refuse at first, but he thought that he was going to meet Eloise. In the eyes of the public, Eloise had an affair with him, and it was also a fact. So it would be better to take Beatrice
with him.
Beatrice wanted to see who could ask Callan out with just a call.
Eloise and Brian were sitting in the private room of the club.
Eloise specially prepared a pen for Callan.
When Eloise met Callan for the first time, he was writing.
Therefore, Eloise thought that his handwriting must be very good, and people with good handwriting liked pens.
She went to the mall just now and bought a Montblanc pen for Callan.
Brian wanted to pay for the pen, but Eloise refused. Callan helped her, and this was a gift for him.
“It’s a token of love, right?” Brian muttered.
Eloise heard it, but she didn’t say anything.
She couldn’t explain it clearly now.
As soon as Callan entered, Brian stood up with a flattering
appearance.

Callan glanced at Eloise.

His glance made Eloise very uncomfortable. It was disdainful, meaning that he knew what her purpose was.
“Eloise, how’s it going?” Callan greeted Eloise in a gentle tone.
His tone and words made Eloise wonder if he was out of his
mind.
Was this that ruthless Callan?
Eloise saw that the girl next to Callan wanted to come over with Callan’s arm, but he dodged.
Eloise was looking for a suitable opportunity to give the pen to
Callan.
“I’m fine, Mr. Barone,” Eloise responded.
Brian thought, “It’s said that Callan has an affair with Eloise. Why does he bring another woman here now? Who is this woman?”
“This is…” Brian looked at Beatrice and said.
“Beatrice Andrews,” Callan said calmly.
Brian was an expert in the relationship between men and women, and from Callan’s tone, he knew that Beatrice’s love for Callan was unrequited.

“Mr. Barone, it is a great honor for us to have you here.”
Brian said with a smile, “It’s a misunderstanding about what happened last time. Today, I brought all the materials of our company here. Please take a look.”
Brian took a lot of documents from the side and put them in front of Callan.
Callan started to read them indifferently.
The waiter served food for them.

Beatrice took a look at Callan’s face, and then carefully put a fish taco on his plate.
Callan ignored it.
Brian confirmed his judgment even more. He sent Eloise a WhatsApp message while Callan was reading the documents: [Mr. Barone doesn’t like this woman. If you can drive her away from Mr. Barone, we will have a high chance of getting the bid.]
Eloise also thought that Brian’s prediction should be correct. Callan wanted to use Eloise to make that woman give up. No wonder he agreed to come when she called him today. If this was the case, she should continue to play her role.
“Mr. Barone, this pen is a gift for you.” Eloise respectfully handed the pen to Callan.
“For me?” Callan liked the pen very much. “I like it very much.”

As he unscrewed the cap of the pen, he looked at it carefully and put it in his shirt pocket.
“That’s good.” Seeing that Callan liked it, Eloise was also very happy.
“I didn’t expect you to prepare a gift for me.” Callan raised his eyebrows, as if teasing Eloise.
It was totally different from his usual cold personality.
Eloise lowered her head shyly.
“Mr. Barone, when we went to Grant Hotel that day, who secretly photographed us?” Eloise said suddenly.
Now Callan was in trouble, she had to help him and try her best to help him.
After Eloise finished speaking, she lowered her head and put the hair on her sideburns behind her ears, looking sexy.
“Were you followed by someone?” Callan said to Eloise in a tone of disgust.
“I didn’t know that someone was following us.” Eloise gently stirred the soup with the spoon, with bright eyes and a shy face. “Fortunately, he didn’t take photos of us in the hotel. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing!”
The implication was that what happened in the hotel was more
Chapter 7 A Gift important.
Callan picked up the wine and took a sip.
The two behaved as if there were no one else around.
Beatrice thought to herself, “Don’t they feel shy about it?”
It seemed that the post and the news were true. Callan and Eloise had indeed had sex. Beatrice saw that their eyes were
intimate.

Brian wanted to say something, but at this ambiguous moment, he didn’t know what to say. He picked up his wine and took a sip while looking at the expressions of Callan and Eloise.
It was very likely that they could get the bid.
“Mr. Barone, the roast chicken is pretty good. Have a try.” After speaking, Eloise put the food on Callan’s plate with her own fork.
Beatrice used a serving fork to serve Callan food, but Eloise used her own fork.
Besides, Eloise also gave the beef on her plate to Callan.
