Chapter 36: The Dress Prepared for Her

Ronan remained silent, appearing somewhat disappointed, but he dared not show it in front of Harrison.

Harrison made an internal call and said to Adeline, "Have Anna take Ronan to the HR department. Starting today, he is the deputy director of the HR department."

"Yes, Mr. Thomson," Adeline said.

After hanging up, Harrison said to Ronan, "You may leave now."

"Alright," Ronan said.

After leaving the office, Ronan breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he was young, he had always found Harrison very intimidating.

Now, it seemed even more so.

"Mr. Ronan, this is Anna," Adeline said as she approached with Anna. "She will take you to the HR department."

Her address to Ronan changed swiftly.

Ronan smiled helplessly.

"Mr. Ronan, shall we go?" Anna looked at him, her eyes sparkling.

Anna didn't expect that the new deputy director of the HR department would be so handsome.

And he seemed young.

Now, the folks in the HR department were in for a treat.

"Adeline, I'll take my leave now. See you later," Ronan greeted Adeline and then left with Anna.

After seeing Ronan off, Adeline prepared hand-ground coffee for Harrison because she sensed that his mood wasn't great.

After she placed the coffee down, Harrison said, "Some clothes will be delivered this afternoon."

Adeline was puzzled and thought,"Haven't his clothes already been delivered?"

"Are you dissatisfied with the previous clothes?" Adeline asked.

"It's not for me," Harrison said lightly. "It's for you."

Adeline was taken aback. "For me?"

"Yes, for the dinner party the day after tomorrow. You'll accompany me," Harrison said.

Though surprised, Adeline quickly agreed, "Yes, Mr. Thomson."

Previously, when Harrison attended various banquets, she oftén accompanied him.

However, she usually waited outside. If Harrison needed anything, he would send for her.

This time, since Harrison had someone prepare a dress for her, it meant she would be attending as his companion.

Harrison had never needed a companion before. What had changed this time?

In the afternoon, someone delivered a dress.

Adeline didn't open it at the office. When she got home after work to open the dress box, she found a long burgundy evening gown inside.

Additionally, there was a pair of red high heels.

The gown was beautiful. Adeline tried it on, and it fit her perfectly.

Did Harrison arrange for this dress? But how did he know her size so accurately?

Adeline looked at herself in the mirror, feeling her cheeks flush slightly.

Harrison and Ronan returned to  the Thomson family.

Lorenzo was waiting for them in the living room. When he saw them come in, he immediately smiled and said, "My two good grandsons are back. How was your day at the company?"

"It was fine, Grandfather," Ronan plopped down next to Lorenzo.

"Just a bit tired. I spent the whole afternoon familiarizing myself with the department's affairs. Now I have a bit of a headache."

Lorenzo was seventy-eight this year, but he was still in robust health. Among the younger generation, he favored Harrison the most, followed by Ronan.

"Being tired is unavoidable. You can't be as carefree as before. Help your brother and work diligently. If there's anything you don't understand, ask him," Lorenzo said.

"Don't worry, Grandfather, I know that." Ronan said obediently.

Lorenzo smiled affectionately,"That's good. Tonight, I've had several of your favorite dishes prepared. Eat a bit more."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

After chatting with Ronan, Lorenzo turned to Harrison, who was sitting nearby, and said,

"Harrison, you've been managing the company for several years now; handling everything big and small very well. I'm very reassured. However, your marriage has always been a concern of mine."

Harrison rubbed his forehead with a headache.

He knew that he would inevitably face this kind of topic.

At this moment, Myra walked over with a fruit platter. She placed it on the coffee table and said, "Dad, I've been worrying about this matter too. It's just a shame that Harrison doesn't listen to me at all. Please talk to him. Maybe he'll listen to you."

Lorenzo chuckled and said,   "Harrison, are you not interested in anyone, or...”

"I'm not interested in anyone," Harrison said. 

"Grandfather, I currently have no plans to marry."

"Even if you don't want to marry, you can date," Lorenzo said.

Myra smiled and said, "Dad, tonight, I've invited Kaylie, the Hickman family's heiress, to dinner."

With this statement, Lorenzo understood her intentions.

After some contemplation, he said, "I've met her before."

After saying this, Lorenzo didn't add anything further.

Myra smiled, but her heart sank.

Seeing Lorenzo's expression, it was clear he wasn't fond of Kaylie.

Otherwise, he would have followed up with some words of praise for Kaylie.

Myra couldn't understand what was wrong with Kaylie. Neither Harrison nor Lorenzo liked her.

Upon hearing Myra's words, Harrison remained expressionless, his fingers tapping slowly on the arm of the sofa.

Ronan sensed the tense atmosphere and quickly changed the subject, saying to Lorenzo, "Grandpa, today at the company, everything was fine, except my assistant. She seemed a bit slow to react. If only I had an assistant as capable as Ms. Hensley."

When she heard the name "Ms. Hensley," Myra's eyes flickered.

"Ms. Hensley? I remember. She's the lady who's always by Harrison's side, right?" Lorenzo said with a smile. "She's indeed excelient. Although young, she's reliable and efficient. Without her, perhaps Harrison wouldn't have been as successful these past few years."

Harrison, who had been expressionless until now, unexpectedly curled his lips slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

Turning his head, Lorenzo saw Ronan looking pitifully at him.

"What? Do you want Ms. Hensley to be your assistant?" Lorenzo asked.

Ronan said, "I'm not trying to compete with my brother for her. It's just that since l've just joined the company, I really need a capable person to assist me. I thought having Ms. Hensley by my side would be good."

Normally, Ronan would never dare to say such things.

But today, emboldened by Lorenzo's presence, he spoke out his mind.

When Myra heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
