Chapter 646Chapter 646
Even though she was just his son's secretary, everybody knew that the person backing her up was a good friend of Ricky's
father. So, none of them dared to mistreat her.
"It's just a token of appreciation," Joelle replied with a warm smile. She did not take the initiative to approach Sean even though
she was interested in him because she knew that Sean would hate her for doing so.
She passed the gift to the butler. Then, she changed into a new pair of slippers and went into the house.
She saw Sean as soon as she stepped into the house, she greeted him after getting closer to him, "Mr. Sean, you wouldn't mind
me having a free meal here, right?"
Sean's expression did not change one bit. He looked as nonchalant as he would be in the office. It seemed like Joelle was
nothing but a pile of documents on his office desk.
He did not put any personal feelings into it while dealing with either of them.
"That's a question for the people preparing the meal, not me." Sean threw her a glance and the atmosphere turned cold.
Alice was worried for a second as she spoke hurriedly, "Okay, okay. Everyone's here. Let's start eating."
Joelle was not bothered by what Sean said as she confidently strode ahead to the dining table and sat
down.
Sean glanced over. 'Why do I look like the petty one, right now?' Sean felt like he was entering a royal
banquet as he looked at the three people sitting at the table.
He was the last one to sit at the table, looking indifferent. He purposely picked the seat opposite Joelle.Ricky and Alice were sitting at one side as they wanted him to sit beside Joelle, so Sean and Joelle
would be facing them.
However, Sean sat on their side instead, leaving Joelle alone on one side.
Everyone paused while Sean looked nonchalant.
The expression on Joelle's face changed slightly. She looked at the dishes on the table, and she lost all
her appetite after seeing how much Sean wanted to avoid her.
'Why won't he just sit with me?'
She felt very insecure, but she did not show it on her face.
Ricky and Alice felt very awkward, and they had no idea what to do or say. After some time, Alice took
the initiative to fetch some food for Joelle.
"Joelle, you don't have to be shy at all. Eat more. Tell me what kind of dishes you like, and I'll tell the
chef to prepare them for you next time." Alice knew that Mr. Anderson Sr. wanted Sean to be with
Joelle.
She was also pretty satisfied with Joelle's family background.
After seeing Joelle in person, she found out that Joelle was gorgeous and graceful, so she was very
happy with her. That was why she was being so friendly to Joelle.
Then, something else happened.
Sean knew what she was trying to do, so he was not trying to give Alice any chance to get closer to
her."Why didn't Sharon come to our house recently?" Sean pretended to ask casually.
It was very clear why Joelle came to eat with them.
The entire Anderson family had acquiesced to Joelle's presence. Even though Joelle told Sean that she was not interested in
him, Sean did not believe her entirely.
Sean believed that not every woman would like him, but he refused to believe that they were not interested in what the Anderson
Cooperation owned.
He repeatedly held himself back from breaking it off with his parents, but they just would not quit it. So, he had no choice but to
do something.
Alice could not help but glare at Sean when putting some food on Joelle's plate.
'What a little brat. All he wants to do is stay away from her.
'Yet, now he stopped calling her Ms. Newman, but Sharon instead?
'He's clearly just trying to stir things up. What a troublemaker!'
