###Chapter 24 Liability For Delay In Final Payment

After a pause, I got out of the car, went to the other side and opened the door of the car, and tugged at Jordan's sleeve. "Jordan!"

I'm afraid he felt sick in his stomach after drinking too much, and he couldn't fall asleep.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked at me. After the speed, the black eyes swept around and said in a shallow voice, "Did you bring me back?"

I nodded, wondering whether he was sober or drunk, and said, "Come on down, it's getting late!"

It's almost the wee hours of the morning, and a pregnant woman like me really doesn't have enough energy to stay with him.

He sat up straight. His slender body leaning on the seat. He did not seem to come and he's not speaking. A pair of black eyes are open, looking around at people and animals, but knowing his temper, it's cloudy and sunny.

After thinking about it, he said, "Do you want me to help you down?"

"I can bask in the sun!" He spoke and sat still in the car.

I was shocked by what he said, and now I'm also basking in the sun.

He is very drunk.

"Well, take your time!" I really didn't have the energy to accompany him around here, and I was so uncomfortable that I went straight back to the villa.

After entering the bedroom, I lay down and slept for a while. I saw that there seemed to be no movement in the hall. I was a little worried that he would run around in the middle of the night. What if after I ran out, he had an accident?

Struggling, tossing to the left and right, I finally got up and went downstairs. But I was surprised. I didn't know when he had entered the villa and lay on the sofa in the hall.

All right, I can rest easy on now.

After tossing about in the middle of the night, I slept like a dead, and it was already afternoon when I woke up.

Because I had an appointment with Dean Blakeley, I got up and washed briefly and then hurried out the door. By the time I arrived at the company, Dean Blakeley was already waiting in the office.

When he saw me, he got up with a smile and said, "I'm sorry if I have to delay your work, Miss Astley."

I was in a hurry, and I took a slow breath and asked Kyle to pour us a glass of water, and then we signed the completion and transfer contract.

When the business was done, Dean Blakeley said on his own initiative, "It's already noon, and Miss Astley hasn't eaten yet. Why don't we have dinner together? My wife has always wanted to thank you. I wonder if you have spare time."

Originally, it was nothing, but when I saw Kyle looking at me, he seemed to have something to say. I smiled and said, "Dean Blakeley, you are polite and generous. If you say it should be me, then let's do it this way. I'll find ample time at some other time and I'll go and have dinner with you and your wife. It's just that I really can't get away today. I hope you understand."

Hearing this, Dean Blakely nodded and didn't say much, and then he left after a few more minutes.

I looked at Kyle and saw her and said, "Director, Mr. Astley asked you to come to his office and find him."

He wants me to look for him?

Surprised, I twisted my eyebrow and said, "Is there anything wrong with our department's work recently?" Generally speaking, Jordan won't ask me to come to the company if he has personal business.

Unless it's about work!

Kyle nodded. "With regard to Dean Blakeley's business, the financial side has gone to General Astley, and Mr. Astley seems to be very unhappy. He asked you to go to the president's office."

"Okay," I answered her plainly and I went straight to the top floor.

Jordan is in his office area and he's giving me this cold and serious glance. He's giving me a cold atmosphere in the summer.

The entire office area is cold. I looked around and saw that the door to the conference room was closed. Brad saw me and said, "Director Astley, Mr. Astley is in a meeting with Mr. Hastings and Dr. Wesley."

I nodded and thought to myself, Dr. Wesley, I know Mr. Hastings is always cautious.

I went to the sofa in the hall and looked at the time. It was already noon. I went out in a hurry in the morning. I didn't eat anything, and I was so hungry that my stomach is aching.

Brad poured me a glass of water and said coldly, "Director Astley, just a moment, and the president will take about half an hour."

I took the water cup, ignored his coldness, and asked, "Mr. Silverman, has Mr. Astley been drinking a lot lately?"

Yesterday Maisie said that Jordan often went to the bar. I couldn't help asking Jordan why he got drunk.

Upon hearing my question, Brad was stunned and said, "Maybe because the president is in a bad mood." He simply answered.

"But why?"

Seeing me looking at him curiously, Brad coughed, "I don't know much about the president's personal affairs."

This is not good.

After waiting for a long time, I fell asleep again somehow. Hearing the voices of several people coming in and out, I forced myself to sit up straight from the sofa.

The three people who came out of the conference room looked at me together. Brad rose slightly from his chair and his thin lips pursed. He doesn't know what to say. Brad glanced at me and then went out.

Jordan looked at me and his black eyes were deep, and I always felt as if he had some kind of anger to me.

Thinking about Dean Blakeley, I quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Astley, I am willing to take full responsibility for the losses caused to the company in the past two days!"

He frowned and did not open his mouth, but Mr. Hastings, who was watching the hustle and bustle, said sternly, "Miss Astley is capable. With hundreds of millions of projects, you lost your husband tens of millions of yuan in two days, so you spend a lot of money! "

This is obviously sarcasm.

I looked at Jordan and saw that his face was black and he didn't open his mouth. I glanced at Mr. Hastings solemnly and sternly, "Does Mr. Hastings live by the sea?"

Mr. Hastings gave a cautious look at everyone. He pulled his handsome face down and looked at me and said, "Ivelle, who gave you the rights to talk to me like this?"

I really don't want to waste my breath on Kian Hastings. He doesn't like me and he thinks I've delayed Jordan and Nicole, so he hasn't said anything nice to me all the time.

Anyway, they are all acquaintances. Looking at him, I showed no mercy and said directly, "Is Joe always the emperor who came over three thousand years ago?" I'm afraid the only people who can talk to you are the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum. After all, they are of the same age and have a common topic! "

After hearing my words, Kian Hastings blushed with anger and said, "Even the dead are more qualified than you, and you are so ruthless that you are willing to spoil the seed in your belly."

"Be cautious!" Brad opened his mouth, wringing his eyebrows to interrupt Mr. Hastings's cautious words, and said, "Be careful and Director Astley have something to talk about. I have booked a restaurant. Let's go and wait for them first!"

After a pause, Brad looked at me and said, "Director Astley probably hasn't had lunch yet. Come over with Jordan later."

I wanted to say no, but he took Kian Hastings out.

Jordan and I were left in the empty office, unable to figure out how he planned to deal with the matter of Dean Blakeley. I took the initiative to say, "Dean Blakeley is my responsibility. I have been recuperating at home since I had a miscarriage and focused on my children, and totally forgot about him."

Seeing that he was black and silent, I continued, "I know this mistake has caused a lot of losses to the company. I will soon resign."
