Chapter 426: Chapter 426

After finishing the call, Conrad Sterling called his secretary in.

"Anna, I have an urgent matter to handle..." Conrad Sterling changed his mind, he probably couldn’t go home with Anna Thornton tonight, "Let her drive you back."

At times , there’s no need for an assistant; the secretary has to handle it.

It’s late to find a man to drive her, Conrad Sterling wouldn’t be at ease.

A rare opportunity, the fact that Conrad Sterling decided to give it up means something very urgent indeed happened.

He didn’t even have time to say much to Anna Thornton or give explanations, arranged the remaining staff working overtime, and rushed outside.

"Miss Thornton, President Sterling left in a hurry because there was a problem with our new project, please don’t take it the wrong way!" The secretary explained to her.

"What’s your name?" Anna Thornton asked.

"Miss Thornton, please sit in the office for a while, I’ll get you a cup of coffee."

As the secretary walked away in high heels, Anna Thornton watched her leave the office.

Making coffee for her so late at night, what’s going on?

Anna Thornton felt like the other party was creating opportunities for her?

Now that Conrad Sterling is gone, leaving Anna Thornton alone in his office, isn’t it a chance to act freely?

The card Rainie Hawthorne gave her, Anna Thornton carries with her all the time.

Anna Thornton sat down and looked around, decided to call Rainie Hawthorne first.

Answered on the first ring, Rainie Hawthorne spoke: "I was about to call you if you hadn’t reached out. Is President Sterling gone now? Are you in his office? It’s a golden opportunity, make the move."

"By the tone, is this golden opportunity something you arranged for me?" Anna Thornton asked.

"Not me, it’s him!" Rainie Hawthorne has been more sincere since speaking with Anna Thornton seriously, "I told you before, that person has a long reach."

"So Amy, the secretary next to Conrad Sterling, has been bought over too?"

"I don’t know, Anna, I can only tell you what I know. Anyway, the setup is bigger than we thought, there’s a casualty in Conrad Sterling’s project, he’s rushing out late to assist with an investigation. Likely won’t take long before he needs to go to the police station for questioning."

Upon hearing this, Anna Thornton tapped her middle finger on the desktop: "Understood."

"Hurry and put the card in Conrad Sterling’s safe." Dıscover more novels at NovєlFіre.net

Such a safe is usually used to store the most valuable items, how can it be found easily?

Anna Thornton was about to complain, but surprisingly she found it right away.

Behind Conrad Sterling’s usual president’s chair, in the middle of the bookshelf.

Anna Thornton’s been filming too many period dramas lately, always feels like there should be a secret room for this purpose, just a few books can’t cover it, can they?

"Even if I find his safe, I don’t know the code!"

"You spend so much time with President Sterling, he didn’t tell you?"

"How could he possibly tell me?"

If Anna Thornton were to ask, the man might indeed tell her.

But the problem is she never asked before, asking now seems too deliberate.

Still on the call with Rainie Hawthorne, Anna Thornton casually spun a code, it turned out to be her own birthday.

She was just trying it out, never expected it would open so easily.

Thought the Sterling Group’s president’s box should contain particularly valuable items.

"Anna, I hear the sounds over there, has the safe already opened?" Rainie Hawthorne asked on the phone.

"Quickly put the card in!"

Conrad Sterling didn’t come home that night.

Showing the seriousness of the matter.

Anna Thornton saw on the news the next day, reporting that Sterling Group’s ongoing project had a large-scale brawl incident, with casualties over twenty, and now officially under investigation.

Such a number of casualties is considered a major accident domestically.

So the incident drew immediate attention, Anna Thornton could browse news on several popular sites on her phone, with photos of Conrad Sterling assisting the investigation at the police station.

She initially wanted to check the comments, but scrolling down found some netizens swooning over photos of Conrad Sterling.

[President Sterling looks so handsome in that black suit, his charismatic presence can’t be overshadowed even in low-resolution photos!]

[Conrad Sterling’s like a character walked out of a CEO novel, perfect! How does his skin look so good? After cooperating with the investigation all night, he doesn’t seem tired at all, the pictures merely exude a sense of elegance and nobility!]

[Ahhhhh... husband, I’m all for it! Show me your true face please!]

[What does the workers’ brawl have to do with President Sterling? Their company is so big, they can’t possibly watch a small project all the time to prevent brawls! I feel sorry for my husband, probably very tired after cooperating with the investigation all night!]

The first comment was slightly reserved, but followed by a queue of "husband" calls.

Since Conrad Sterling helped Anna Thornton promote a game last time, he made a buzz with his face and distant noble demeanor.

Previously primarily known in finance, anyone ever involved in business knew President Sterling’s reputation.

This ’breaking out’ refers to stepping into the entertainment world, Conrad Sterling even had his own fan base and official support group, with quite a few members.

After streaming games, some eager female netizens flooded under Conrad Sterling’s Weibo calling him husband.

Without exception, all got blacklisted!

But the blacklist incident revealed that President Sterling indeed reads netizen comments!

Not only does he read them, he also cares, and cares enough to take steps.

This indeed... is so adorable!

The once unattainable idol suddenly felt closer to the public.

Blacklisting is also a form of interaction, some even changed their usernames to "Another day asking husband to blacklist," "President Sterling look at me, I call you the loudest," and similar usernames are quite numerous.

Can’t deny this generation of netizens has rich imagination, they fantasize the reputed Sterling Group’s president acts like a shy young man, blushing and heart-thumping when called "husband" by netizens, angrily blacklisting them...

In fact, Conrad Sterling is not only experienced, his possessiveness is close to being pathological!

He doesn’t allow this title meant for Anna Thornton alone to be taken by others.

Those calling "husband," failing to handle in time, could expect a banned account tomorrow.
