Chapter 448 - GLOOMY ATMOSTPHERE (2/2)
John Lu was startled. ”Wait, why am I included? I don't want to be compared with a guy someone younger than me.”
Lisa stole a glance at him and commented, ”I thought you were the same age as him.”
”I'm three months older than him,” John Lu proudly said. ”That's why I don't want to compete with him. All I want to build my career. I'm not here to case after skirts.”
Arthur leaned on him and said, ”You cannot abandon your comrade in the middle of the warm. It's cowardice.”
”Oh yeah? I don't mind if you call me a coward when it comes to a woman,” John Lu stated firmly.
Arthur tried to persuade him, ”Now, don't be party popper. I know you are the loyal type. What if you get a woman of your taste. You guys can marry later and live happily ever after. You don't' have to thank me later. How about that?”
The elevator door opened and John Lu got off the elevator. He said, ”Although I was into Disney movies when I was little, I'm not a Disney prince. There is no 'happily ever after' term in the real world.” His glum expression showed how disinterested he was.
”Oh wait-” Arthur followed behind him.
”John, you are here early today. You too, Arthur.” Roosevelt saw them and came forward.
”Yes, good morning, boss,” John Lu greeted him.
”I came early to soothe the young maidens' hearts,” Arthur answered.
Roosevelt frowned remembering something. ”Yeah, now that you mentioned it, what happened to the ladies in the department. They looked like their souls have been stolen by someone.”
John Lu explained, ”That's indeed the case. Our Managing Director is engaged. That's what made them sad.”
Roosevelt was surprised to hear that. ”Is that what it is? Sigh, come on! He is a child!” He knew that Mo Yuan got engaged but to think every girl in the office was depressed because of that news was unbelievable.
Arthur warned him, ”Tell that in front of his face. You will lose your job.”
Roosevelt brushed his hand. ”Don't worry. He is m.a.t.u.r.e for his age. Moreover, he isn't as petty as you think. But to think he got engaged just after I told him to get a girl, it makes me feel I'm the culprit for every woman's sadness.”
”You better not tell this to the ladies,” John Lu advised him. Who knew what would they do if they heard Roosevelt's words? They would think it's his fault that their dream husband wasn't single anymore and curse him to death.
Roosevelt nodded in agreement. ”All right, I won't. By the way, since we are talking about the Managing Director, I remember he told me to tell you that he wanted to see you.”
”Huh? Why me?” John Lu was confused.
”Yes, why is our new intern needed to see our Managing Director?” Arthur sang along.
