Chapter 377 Ignoring His Orders

“The meeting documents are on your desk. Take a look when you have time.”

“Thanks!”

Anna grinned. “No need to be so polite–it’s no trouble at all.”

Caroline was reaching for the files when her desk phone rang unexpectedly.

“Hello, this is Caroline from the R&D department. How can I help?”

Boris’s voice was firm. “Come to my office. Now.”

“Understood, Mr. Boris.”

She had no idea why he was calling her in, but she didn’t hesitate. She immediately got up and headed over.

It was already 9:30.

Boris stood behind his desk, his gaze unreadable as he studied her.

Something about it made her uneasy.

“Mr. Boris… Is there a problem?”

“Did you and David have another argument?”

Caroline was caught off guard.

How did he know? Sure, he and David were close, but it wasn’t like they discussed everything, especially something as private as last night.

“Mr. Boris, I don’t see how that’s relevant to work,” she said calmly. “Did you call me in just to ask this?”

Boris let out an exasperated sigh. “As much as I enjoy a bit of gossip, I wouldn’t waste time on it before a major meeting. I have no time for this nonsense.”

“Then… why am I here?”

“It’s not me. It’s your husband.”

Caroline frowned. “What do you mean?”

Boris spread his hands. “Mr. Ellison told me to send you to his office before the meeting starts. Until you see him, the R&D meeting cannot proceed. In other words, this entire meeting is being held up until you go to him first.”

Caroline’s jaw tightened. noveldrama

David was seriously pulling this stunt? Leveraging work and my colleagues to force me into seeing him?

“I’m not going,” she said without hesitation. “Start the meeting as scheduled, Mr. Boris. If there are any consequences, I’ll take full responsibility.”

Chapter 377 Ignoring His Orders

“Work and personal matters should stay separate.”

“True, but Mr. Ellison doesn’t think that way. He’s the CEO. His orders matter.”

Boris gestured at the clock.

9:35.

Caroline’s voice was firm. “Mr. Boris, start the meeting. Ignore that lunatic.”

Boris let out a chuckle. “You’re probably the only one brave enough to talk about him like that.”

“Am I wrong?”

Finished

“Oh, by the way,” Boris added, his expression turning playful, “remember the rumor about Mr. Ellison kissing someone in the elevator? That was you, wasn’t it?”

Caroline said nothing, but the way her face turned red said everything.

“Got it,” Boris smirked. “Alright, let’s start the meeting. With you here, I’ve got no reason to worry.”

At 9:40 sharp, the meeting room was filled, and the discussion began on time.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office, David’s eyes flicked toward the clock. His lips pressed into a thin line.

Caroline had really ignored him.

She had completely brushed him off, disregarding his orders without a second thought.

She was getting bolder by the day…

At home, he had tolerated her defiance. But here, at work? Did she really think he had no control over her?

A cold chuckle escaped his lips as he stood up, straightening his tie. Without a moment’s hesitation, he strode toward the R&D department.

Caroline, focused on her notes, had no idea what was coming her way.
