It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 59

In the Evans Group

The directors walked out of the meeting room with sullen expressions. They had hoped their CEO would be in a good mood after their wedding. But they quickly understood that hope was in vain. Malcolm came to work with a sour expression this morning. He didn’t even bother trying to smile. He sat there with his grim expression throughout the meeting. If anything, he seemed to be in a worse mood than usual. Usually, when someone made a mistake, he would call them back after the meeting and tell them about it. But today everyone received a public reprimand. Worse still was the fact that he had not delivered the reprimand himself; he had his help, Bob, do it. He just sat quietly in his chair, looking at them with an icy expression.
