Chapter 872 Thank You for Taking Care of Wanda
Of course, Nicholas noticed. He simply refused to acknowledge it and continued his senseless act, hoping that this woman would give up. However, he did not expect Wanda to read the room so poorly.
Finally, he said flatly and coldly, “Miss Muller, I believe you are caring for the wrong person. I’m already married, and your behavior is clearly inappropriate. I hope you remember this.”
Wanda was deeply hurt when she heard the cruel words. She was particularly upset when Nicholas revealed that he was married, but she didn’t entirely believe him. She suspected he said it on purpose to reject her.
When she was about to speak, he called Edward and said in a commanding tone, “Send Miss Muller off.”
Edward immediately escorted her outside because he dared not to defy his words.
Wanda felt deeply wronged after leaving Sawyer Group. At the worst possible moment, Horace called her. Her emotions erupted right away.
“Grandpa…”
“Wanda, what happened? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?”
He became concerned upon hearing his granddaughter’s sobbing voice, and his tone was tinged with worry.
Horace and his assistant arrived at Southend Airport the next morning. He came here overnight because he thought his precious granddaughter was being bullied. He went straight to Wanda’s office when he arrived at Muller Group. Wanda was taken aback when she saw her grandpa, who had unexpectedly appeared.
“Grandpa, why are you here?”
“Why did you think I came? You were so upset last night that you remained silent when I asked you to tell me what happened. How can I not worry?”
Horace looked concerned as he motioned Wanda to sit on the couch, inquiring, “Tell me what happened. Were you bullied?”
Wanda was extremely touched by his words.
She didn’t want to tell the truth, so she shook her head and said, “It’s nothing major, just that I’ve been having some work problems.”
“Is that all? Just work problems?”
Horace frowned as he looked at her in disbelief.
Wanda could sense her grandpa’s suspicion. She took his hand with a few hints of coddling and smiled lightly at him. “I truly mean it. Don’t think too much.”
Horace was somewhat dubious after hearing that, but he said nothing. Following that, he stayed at the company and assisted her with company matters.
When it was almost time to leave work in the evening, Horace pulled out his phone and dialed Remus’ number.
“I returned to Southend to see my granddaughter, so why don’t we have a meal together tonight, and you can invite Nicholas?”
Since it was a rare occasion, Remus naturally agreed.
That night, Nicholas followed Remus to a private dining restaurant.
Horace and Remus drank two glasses of wine at the table before slowly turning the topic to the evening’s objective.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my granddaughter all this while.”
“Oh, I cannot take the credit. Nicholas was the one helping out most of the time.”
Remus said it on purpose with his eyes glinting.
Nicholas sat on the side with a slight frown.
On the other hand, when Horace heard what Remus said, the smile on his face deepened.
With hints of satisfaction in his voice, he said to Nicholas, “Thank you for taking care of Wanda.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. Muller. I’m just following my grandpa’s orders.”
Nicholas knew what Remus was plotting, so he pushed the credit back to his grandpa. Horace didn’t mind, thinking that Nicholas was just being modest.
He spoke as if he was leaving Wanda in his care after a few thanks. “My granddaughter has never been involved in our family’s business, so she will need your assistance in this matter.”
“Yes, of course.” Without waiting for Nicholas to respond, Remus agreed to the sentiment right away.
Nicholas’ expression turned cold in an instant.
Horace was oblivious as he offered a cordial smile and said, “Then, Nicholas, you have my thanks. Also, our sweet Wanda was spoiled from a young age, so please be patient with her if she doesn’t understand something. She can definitely learn if you teach her.”
