Chapter 367
The little guy didn't realize that Nora almost wanted to abandon him, and he was still acting coquettishly.
Nora had no choice but to pick him up, turn around and stride into the office, close the door and the window with a bang, ensuring nobody seeing.
But outside the office, there was an uproar, and the atmosphere boiled over.
"Oh My God, what did I hear just now? Easton actually called Miss Jones... Mother?"
"You heard it right. I heard it too. Incredible. I always thought that our president was dating with Miss Jones. I didn't expect..." They didn't expect them to have a son.
"Well, isn't Mr. Xavier's wife gone? Isn't Nora going to be Mrs. Xavier soon?" Someone in the crowd suddenly said this.
Everyone was silent for a moment, looked at each other, and suddenly realized that it was highly probable.
After all, the heir of the Xaviers had called Nora mom. Tsk tsk, it was really a shocking news.
In the office.
There were no outsiders around and his goal was achieved, so Easton was sitting on the sofa with satisfaction, swinging his short legs and looking at Nora with innocent eyes.
Nora felt troubled and could not help but squat down and look at her son, "Easton, didn't... I tell you not to let anyone know I am your mother beforehand?"
Easton pursed his lips, "You are my mother. If you don't let others know, they will still think that I am a child without a mother.”
"Mom, do you not want to abandon me?"
"Of course not. You're my precious. I will never abandon you.” Nora promised immediately.
The little guy immediately smiled, and a sly look that was hard to catch flashed through his eyes. Ever since that day, Nora could receive a large bouquet of roses every day, and the person who sent was Damian.
In the company, Damian was like Derek's "executor". In this company, Derek was the only one who could order Damian to do anything.
Not only that, Easton would come to the Design Department every day when it was time to get off. His favorite thing to do was to call Nora mother and act like a spoiled child in front of so many people.
The employees of the Xavier Group had been shocked and unbelievable from the beginning, and they were used to it now. Everyone admired Nora so much.
People talked in the world. In this situation, the media had gotten wind of it.
Any news related to Derek, whether it was the business or entertainment section, was a trending topic. If Xavier Group had not controlled the press in advance, the news would have been spread all over.
Nora was very embarrassed and annoyed by what happened, but because of Easton, there was no way to change it.
Now Mr. Xavier was pursuing Nora, so some other men shouldn't appear to stir up a mess. It referred to Sheldon.
Although the incident at the coffee shop made Derek see Nora's determination, he couldn't help but be wary of Sheldon, the pestering bastard.
Derek didn't know what disgusting things Sheldon could do since he could kneel down in public to force a woman.
As for now, whenever Sheldon wanted to find Nora, whether it was to go to the Xavier Group or to Nora's house, he would always encounter some inexplicable “natural disaster” on the way.
It was either a sudden fall or a flat tire, which would cause him a lot of trouble every time. In short, for a while, he would not be able to show up in front of Nora
"What is this?" Nora was told to go to the president's office and was standing in front of Derek, looking at the gold-gild invitation in her hand.
"Take a look at it." Derek raised his eyebrows casually.
Nora opened it, a little surprised. It was an invitation to a banquet, and the host of the banquet was the mayor of J City.
Recently, the shocking latest news on the Internet was the change of the political officials in J City. Normally, after the previous mayor was transferred, the current deputy mayor would take office to be the mayor.
But this time, it was different. The mayor was sent to the J City from on high, and his surname seemed to be James.
Of course, these things were not Nora's business, and she never thought that they would have contact with her.
Nora held the invitation and looked at Derek with a questioning look in her eyes.
"The party is tonight. You come with me," Derek said indifferently.
Nora frowned and refused, "I've never been to a party like this. You'd better let another woman go with you.” She actually felt strangely jealousy to say so.
Had never joined?
Derek was stunned and immediately remembered that Nora was still in amnesia and did not remember the past.
He stood up and said slowly, "If I show up with another female companion, it will be very troublesome if the reporter takes a picture of me and others.”
Nora didn't believe it at all and couldn't help but give him a stinky-eye, "Wouldn't it be too troublesome to take me with you?"
After this period of pursuit, although no substantial progress was made, Derek was relatively satisfied. At least, Nora's attitude towards him was changing.
When they were alone, she was much more casual in her speech and expression, and no longer spoke in a respectful tone as before, as if the two of them were strangers.
"Of course, at the very least, Easton would be happy... If he saw a strange woman standing next to me, he would lose his temper."
Derek was not lying. During the past five years in D City, even if he had a son, there were still numerous ladies from the rich and powerful family pursuing him.
His son was overbearing so that he would lose his temper to those who threw themselves into his arms and wanted to be his stepmother.
Nora had already seen through his trick of using his son as a shield every time, and could not help but sneer, "Then it should be a good solution that you don't take a female companion.”
"Of course not. I'm the president of the Xavier Group. It's appropriate to attend a party without a female partner.” This shameless man said.
She took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes at him, "I can attend the party with you, but with one condition, you can't send me flowers or gifts anymore.”
"No problem." Derek's lips curved, and he agreed.
He agreed so easily all of a sudden, which stunned Nora. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out why, so she just gave up.
Even if she didn't mention it, Derek was prepared to stop sending gifts. After all, the purpose of this high-profile behavior was to tell everyone about their relationship.
The goal had already been achieved, and there was no need to continue.
