C6 The Cold and Aloof Ceo

People's words were fearsome. Jane Ronan had experienced it firsthand.

If her colleagues in the company saw her driving to work in the new CEO's car, all sorts of rumors would smash her to death.

So when Edwin Carter asked her to sit in his car to work, she shook her head without thinking.

Although they didn't ride in Edwin Carter's car, they arrived at the company about the same time.

While Jane Ronan and a group of people were waiting for the elevator, Edwin Carter was escorted by two special helpers to the elevator reserved for the CEO.

She wanted to pretend that she didn't see him, but she felt that it wasn't appropriate, so she politely greeted the group of people, "Boss Carter, good morning!"

"En!" Edwin Carter responded indifferently. He swept a glance around and then walked into the elevator, leaving everyone with a cold view of his back.

Edwin Carter's indifference didn't extinguish everyone's enthusiasm, as they started to enthusiastically discuss about this new CEO.

Jane Ronan didn't participate in the discussion, but she found it funny.

Edwin Carter's public and private attitude was quite obvious.

At this moment, she thought of a web word to describe Edwin Carter — abstinence male god.

As soon as she entered the company, Jane Ronan completely forgot about Edwin Carter and threw herself into her work.

Recently, Jane Ronan and a few colleagues from the same department were busy preparing a tender project for Starlight Corporation.

Seeing that the bidding was about to start, Jane Ronan's work had entered a state of tension. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat lunch.

Jane Ronan was a well-known workaholic at the company. It was common for people to work and not eat. No one really cared about her.

Today, when Jane Ronan was so busy that she forgot herself, she received a call from Edwin Carter.

Jane Ronan looked around to make sure that there was no one around before picking up the phone carefully. "Is there something you need?"

The implication was that he should not randomly call her when there was nothing to do in the company, and should not let others know of their relationship.

Edwin Carter didn't expect Jane Ronan to say that. He paused for a moment and then said, "The job is important, but you can't go hungry."

His voice was still light, but it wasn't hard to hear a hint of concern in it.

Jane Ronan blushed. "Alright, I understand."

Edwin Carter did not say anything else on the other end of the phone. Jane Ronan did not know what else to say, so she said goodbye and was about to hang up.

At the last moment, Edwin Carter spoke again: "I'm in Room 1808 of Lilium Restaurant."

Jane Ronan nodded instinctively. "I won't disturb you anymore if you eat."

"Jane Ronan!" Edwin Carter's tone was clearly heavier. After a few seconds, he said, "I'll wait for you."

"No need …" Jane Ronan instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could do so, the other party had already hung up.

Looking at the darkened screen, Jane Ronan frowned slightly before sighing helplessly. Why would she refuse to have lunch with her new husband?

The Lily Hotel was a five-star hotel near the company. It was expensive and Jane Ronan usually didn't come unless the company had an important customer.

Arriving at the Lily Hotel, Jane Ronan was still hoping to avoid bumping into her acquaintances, but who knew that she would bump into Edwin Carter's special assistant, Sienna Henry.

Jane Ronan wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but the other person stopped her, "Miss Ronan, Boss Carter told me to come and pick you up."

Jane Ronan smiled awkwardly and followed Sienna Henry's footsteps.

She and Edwin Carter were clearly a legal couple, but now, she gave off a feeling of having a secret affair. It was so awkward that she felt ashamed.

Arriving at room 1808, Jane Ronan saw another special assistant of Edwin Carter, Luis George.

Edwin Carter took the initiative to take Jane Ronan's coat and hung it on a hanger. He pulled out a chair for her to sit on and said, "Sister Xu and Luis George have worked beside me for many years. They know all about us."

Jane Ronan nodded and did not say a word. She just looked at Sienna Henry and Luis George.

Luis George and Sienna Henry nodded politely at her and left the room in an orderly manner without saying anything.

Edwin Carter personally scooped a bowl of soup and passed it to Jane Ronan: "All these years, I've also been doing some business, so I'm following some people."

Hearing him take the initiative to explain, Jane Ronan felt gratified in her heart. She gave him a bashful smile. "Yes, I understand."

Edwin Carter's background was probably more complicated than she had imagined. He had his aunts at home cooking breakfast for him in the morning, and was accompanied by capable men like Luis George and Sienna Henry.

Jane Ronan didn't want to go into details. After all, she had agreed to marry him because she thought he looked good, not because of his family background.

Jane Ronan didn't ask too much, and Edwin Carter didn't say much either. The two of them continued to eat in silence.

Furthermore, Edwin Carter had been educated since he was young and could not eat or sleep, so he was not used to saying too much at the table.

This meal was very quiet.

When both of them put down their chopsticks, Edwin Carter said lightly: "No matter how busy you are at work in the future, you still have to eat."

Jane Ronan nodded. "I will pay attention."

Hearing her perfunctory reply, Edwin Carter's eyes under the golden mirror darkened. It was obvious that he wasn't satisfied, and he said: "Let's have lunch together from now on."

Edwin Carter's tone was overbearing, but Jane Ronan did not dislike it. She raised her head and smiled at him. "Thank you for Boss Carter's concern, but …"

"Boss Carter?" Edwin Carter raised his brows, "Since you called me 'Boss Carter', then do you want to listen to what my new CEO has to say to you?"

This man had used his identity to suppress her so quickly.

Jane Ronan had been crawling around in the business department of Innovation Technology Company for three years. She was usually quite sharp and alert, but now, she really didn't know how to respond to Edwin Carter.

Edwin Carter seized the opportunity and continued, "Then it's decided."

Jane Ronan didn't want to meet Edwin Carter every day at noon, but she couldn't find any excuse to decline, so she nodded and agreed.

She even found a reason to flee in a hurry, one that was as pale as it could get.

Looking at Jane Ronan's fleeing figure, Edwin Carter's eyes darkened slightly. His slender fingertips subconsciously tapped on the table as if he was planning something.

"Young Master." A woman in her forties or fifties knocked on the door and interrupted Edwin Carter's thoughts.

Edwin Carter raised his head and looked over. His eyes were as cold as usual: "What's the matter?"

The woman said, "Are these dishes to your liking?"

Edwin Carter was a person with a small obsession with cleanliness and rarely ate meals outside, but this Lily Hotel belonged to him. The elegant private room of 1808 was specially prepared for him according to his preferences.

This woman was responsible for Edwin Carter's food since he was young. She understood Edwin Carter's taste the best.

"From now on, I'll prepare two Sichuan dishes for every meal. Less spicy!" Edwin Carter did not answer, but gave another order instead.

His eating habits were light, but Jane Ronan was spicy. She didn't tell him about this, but Edwin Carter knew about it.
