Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Euan looked at Riley Watson and said casually, "Let's have dinner together with my parents tomorrow."

She thought that he would ridicule her but who knew that he gave her tremendous news directly.

The George family? The George family was definitely the place that she did not want to go the most in this world. It was even a nightmare when it was a family dinner! Riley pursed her lips subconsciously and she would be terrified whenever thought of the George family.

But, she would not express any of her restlessness towards Euan. She said, "Ok."

She replied with only a single word, showing that she had a casual attitude towards this matter.

Finally, Euan raised his eyes from the documents and asked, "Don't you ask why?"

She wanted to know the reason for sure because when she did not even have a mental preparation before going there, she would definitely get beaten up.

Riley controlled herself stubbornly for not exposing her emotions and asked, "Why?"

Euan had already lowered his head to continue reading the documents and said, "Hendrix is coming back tomorrow so a banquet will be hosted at home to welcome him."

Hendrix?

Riley thought of the name for quite a while and finally remembered after some time. Euan had a half-brother named Hendrix George.

He went overseas to pursue his studies five years ago and never returned during this period of time. There used to be lots of rumors about these two young masters of the George family but they were just a piece of words from others and they were exaggerated badly.

She did not know what the appearance of her brother-in-law was.

"Alright, I will attend tomorrow."

After Riley replying, she waited for Euan's reaction quietly. Regarding this trip to George's family, did they go together or went separately and met at the entrance? Was there any planning needed to be done before going there?

Shouldn't he tell her?

But, Euan was unconcerned about this and did not have any reaction afterwards.

After reading the documents, Euan signed his signature using a pen. The long and thin fingers with distinct joints were in sharp contrast with the black pen and it was difficult for others to lose focus on it. The pen was moving rapidly and a powerful cursive script was produced in one wave, resulting in the words seemingly breaking through the paper.

The hands were beautiful and it was the same for the words too.

Riley was completely bewitched again.

Euan put down the documents and realized that Riley was still there so he asked with a low but attractive voice, "Something else?"

Riley recovered suddenly and it meant that she was required to go personally since there was no special instruction.

She thought that Euan was looking down at her to the extent that he did not want to ride the same car with her.

It was fine for him to dislike her because she would just ignore him.

"I am your attending physician and going to do the recovery check now. You will only know whether you can be discharged from the hospital after this check."

Euan frowned and said, "No need to check. I must discharge tomorrow."

Riley laughed and said, "I am so sorry, Mr George. You are in a hospital and I am a doctor so you need to listen to me."

Euan hardly fell sick in these few years so she definitely had to make use of her rights this time. As for her personal objective, how could she let Euan discover it?

Euan kept a straight face obviously but he still outstretched his arm.

It was not a small matter to attend the family dinner in George's family. Her entire body from head to heels must be remodeled, especially the smell of disinfected fluid on her body was hated the most by the lady in George family.

The next day was a weekend but Riley woke up early and she could not even find a suitable dress for her after searching through the closet.

As a woman, she would be considered as a loser.

"Phew!"

She took a deep breath and went out with her bag to settle her dressing!

When she was attending the other banquets previously, Euan would prepare a gown for her and Riley knew that he was afraid that she would make him embarrassed for wearing too shabby.

But now, he only cared about Lydia Saunders and did not take good care of his wretched wife.

The family dinner was small but the outfit was expensive. Dr Watson felt upset due to the huge amount of money spent for the clothes and shoes. The performance fee for this show was terribly expensive! Actually, Euan gave her a supplementary card before but he would be notified when the transaction was made via the supplementary card and she did not want to let him know.

She looked at the numbers in her savings account decreasing tremendously in the text messages and she was frustrated!

"Miss."

Riley just walked down the stairs gloomily and a voice of a man came from the top. Her anger was being ignited and she looked upwards then said fiercely, "Who are you calling!"

The man standing in front of her was estimated below twenty five years old and wearing a hip-hop style fashion brand with golden hair. When he smiled, he looked cheerful but slovenly. "Then, madam?"

Riley frowned because her feelings were not good at first and it got worse when she met this bad youngster. She said, "Who is madam? Do you know how to speak?"

The young man laughed slovenly and asked, "Beauty? OK?"

The man raised the corner of his mouth and the look in his eyes was so innocent that Riley could not scold him anymore.

The man noticed that Riley was not that angry already then he smiled and asked, "Beautiful lady, I want to ask how to go to Oriental International Hotel."

Oriental International Hotel? It was the most luxurious six star hotel in JD City.

Riley could not restrain to look at the man again. Although what he was wearing were fashion brands, Riley recognized that his ripped jeans were the latest model of top luxury goods in France and the selling price was more than seventy or eighty thousand. There was also a Hermes logo on his luggage and the accessory hung on his bag's zip was the handmade limited edition of Gucci.

Oh, he was a rich young man unexpectedly, no wonder he asked the direction for Oriental International Hotel.

Riley pointed towards the junction in front of them and said, "Go straight, turn right, then go straight and it is at your right side."

"Alright, thank you... beauty!"

The man bowed to her and left with his luggage after expressing his gratitude.

Riley thought of something suddenly but when she raised her head, the man had disappeared from her sight.

She felt confused because she felt that she met him before.

Riley rode on a public bus to go back to her condominium and when she reached near the main door, her eyes turned big. She felt curious about the reason that Euan's car was there. She felt delighted suddenly and tightened her hands when she thought that perhaps they were going to depart together.

But, the door opened and Victor Matthews, Euan's driver, got off from the car.

"Mrs. George, the boss ordered me to send something to you." Victor said with a smile.

Riley felt disappointed. She had not learned the lesson that every expectation would turn into disappointment!

"What is it?"

Victor opened the back door and took two bags out from the car. Riley frowned when she noticed the logo on the bags.

"The boss said that you bring these to the family dinner tonight... and these are the present for Hendrix."

Riley smiled bitterly because after all, he was still afraid that she was going to make him embarrassed so he bought the gifts. As for keeping up appearances, he was willing to spend big money. "If Mrs. George doesn't have another order, then I leave first."

When Victor wanted to leave, Riley panicked and asked, "How... is Euan?"

"Oh! The boss had been discharged from the hospital at ten o'clock this morning and he is in the office now. Mrs. George, please be assured since the boss was recovering greatly." Riley nodded and said, "That's good. You can go now."

Riley wore a new gown bought just now. The black off-the-shoulder and floor-length dress was simple but not too vulgar or old-fashioned as well.

The red high heels coated with diamonds was flawless in terms of its comfort and its design.

Riley looked blankly at herself in the mirror and she thought of women pleased themselves by having good appearance. How long had she not been dressed up like this?

She hesitated and took out her phone. She dialed Euan's contact number nervously.

The phone was answered after only a few rang and Riley was surprised that he picked up the phone so fast.

It followed by Euan's sound from the other side of the phone, "Anything?"

The deep voice was still extremely attractive even though it was on the other side of the phone. Riley held her shirt stronger and her hands were damp.

"I have received the thing...." Riley would like to say thanks but she stopped. It was hard for her to say it to Euan.

The other side of the phone remained silent and seemed like he was waiting for her to finish her sentence. She should really be pleased when Euan who had such a temper could wait for her call patiently. Riley took a deep breath and changed the subject, "I wasn't there when you were discharged from the hospital. Do eat the right amount of medicine on time to avoid recurrence of your illness."

In the office on the top floor of MBK International Corporation at the CBD Business Centre in JD City, Euan took his phone at his left hand while flipping through the documents using his right hand. He frowned seriously.

After hearing Riley's prescription, Euan flipped through the documents even harder and almost wrinkled the papers. How many ways did this woman have to make him angry?

The secretary who was standing at his opposite noticed the sudden change in his facial expression and did not dare to speak anything.

Euan took the coffee cup and when he wanted to drink it, he remembered some words from someone and then pointed to the water cup using his fingers. The secretary understood immediately and gave Euan a cup of hot water using his both hands.

After moving the coffee cup to the corner of the table then taking a sip of plain water, Euan finally put the phone back to his ear.

Riley was waiting nervously and she was curious about the noise on the other side of the phone. When she was waiting impatiently, Euan's voice was sent through the phone, "You go away from your post and leave the patient alone without permission. Why? You want to make up for your mistake?"

Riley pursed her lips and Euan's calm voice made her embarrassed. She explained, "I am not on duty today and you have already recovered."

Her tone was slightly stiff.

Euan knocked at the table that was made of Phoebe and said in anger. He said, "I think you don't want to be on duty after this right? If you want to go for a strike, I can help you."

Riley finally could not stand Euan's sneer anymore and she said, "I have no time to quarrel with you, see you at George residence tonight."

Riley hung up the phone directly and she regretted calling him!

The secretary was terrified and looked at Euan. Euan's expression looked carefree and he signed his name then asked the secretary to leave.

"A quarrel?"

He was thinking of these words carefully and raised his thin lips.

At night, at the George residence.

George residence which was located at the central part of a large villa area in the East was a European style building of the last century. The three-storey main building of the villa was connected with two small two-storey white buildings. There was a large courtyard in front of it. The whole building was quite conspicuous in the villa area.

When the night fell, two black cars arrived at the main door after the other and the door of Euan's car was opened first. Euan who wore an Italian handmade Armani suit stood beside the car and his strong aura pervaded the surrounding, making the air pressure dropped sharply to the breathless extent.

Riley looked grand in her long gown and her long hair was worn in a delicate bun. Her fair and small face was decorated with light make up making her seemed like a newly blooming rose which was scented in the night breeze.

Within a blink of an eye, it seemed like the time had brought them back to a certain time in the past.

They looked at each other for a few seconds and Riley walked towards him on her high heels. She stretched out her arm to hold his arm and the moment her hand slid into her arm, her heart thumped wildly, as if she had stolen some rare treasure.

The hidden restlessness.

The hidden happiness.

"I know you are unwilling to come but since you are here already, you need to persevere and remember who you are as well as your value."

The sense of happiness that had just appeared was completely destroyed by his words. Riley was heartbreaking and said, "Don't worry, I know."

"Good."

Euan's tone was fierce and angry but Riley could not understand the reason behind.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
