Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

After entering the canteen, Penelope immediately led Charlie away from Susan.

Susan only smiled and didn’t mind at all.

“What the hell! Is this just a canteen?” Thomas walked around with Susan. He was greatly surprised by the luxury foods that were randomly placed in the canteen.

“You haven’t eaten much for breakfast. You can enjoy your lunch here,” Susan said with a

smile.

Thomas nodded vigorously.

On the other side, Penelope said earnestly, “Dad, let me get some food for you.”

“You don’t need to,” Charlie said as he waved his hand with interest. “Let’s line up to get the food together.”

When Charlie saw everyone who waited in line chattering away, he felt it was the best time to hear the truth from these people.

Penelope agreed with him after a moment of hesitation.

Charlie casually stood in the line.

Not long later, he saw the two young girls in front of him constantly stretching their necks to look into the pick–up window.

“Ah, I saw roasted lamb! My favorite. Don’t ever think about taking it away from me!”

The roasted lamb in Storm Group’s canteen was crunchy and juicy. With its rich and delicious sauce, no one could resist such temptation.

“I have no such intention! I like the sea cucumber with sauce!” The other girl swallowed her saliva and continued, “I have tasted this dish in a five–star hotel, where the price was outrageous while the taste is far inferior to that of our canteen. Oh my, if I can get this dish, I’ll be moved to tears since it’s much cheaper than that in the hotel.”

“I want to cry as well! I’ve already gained several pounds this month. I feel I’m ruined by the

canteen.”

Hearing this, Charlie couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Young lady, do you have a problem

with the canteen?”

“Yes, just speak your mind if you have a problem with the canteen or Mr. Landor,” Penelope chimed in eagerly.

Hearing this, the young girl turned around in bewilderment and saw that it was an old man who asked her. She replied with a smile, “Sir, the problem is that we are just too happy.”

“That’s right. Ever since Mr. Landor reformed the system of the canteen, we are overwhelmed by happiness. I am applying to work overtime every day for the sake of a chance to have dinner here.

However, the application to work overtime is rarely approved now.”

One of the two girls turned to Penelope and said, “If you ask about our problem with Mr. Landor, I’d like to make a complaint that Mr. Landor has managed the canteen so well that we eat too much every day.”

Charlie came to realize that the two girls didn’t have a problem with Ben at all.

Instead, they were full of praise for him.

Charlie involuntarily chuckled.

By contrast, Penelope instantly became sullen.

She thought in disbelief, “No, that’s impossible.

A few months ago, Ben was notorious.

I just haven’t paid attention to it for a few months. Why has everything changed?

It’s impossible.

Could it be that Susan Miller secretly arranged for these two people to put on a show?”

Penelope thought it was all Susan’s scheme.

“Do you think Mr. Landor is too harsh?” Charlie asked.

“Harsh?” One of the girls blinked and said, “Not at all. Truth be told, he just demands that we should follow the rules. We are indeed restricted by the rules, but our rights are guaranteed at the same time. For example, employees in some other companies can’t have overtime pay. However, once one is approved to work overtime, the salary will be

doubled.”

“So, do you all like working at the Storm Group?” Charlie’s smile grew even brighter.

“Of course, we enjoy it very much,” the two girls replied with laughter.

Hearing this, Charlie shot a sidelong glance at Penelope.

After all, she had told him that Ben was so strict that the staff were full of complaints.

Now, however, Charlie found that the real situation was totally different.

Penelope’s mouth twitched as she whispered, “This is just the opinion of a small number of staff. Mo

people are still dissatisfied with Ben.”

She thought that her voice was low, but she didn’t expect that it was loud enough for a girl with sharp ears to hear.

Her words instantly upset the girl. “Who are you? What right do you have to distort the truth by claiming that everyone is dissatisfied with Mr. Landor? I suspect you are a spy from another company!”

The young girl’s angry shout attracted everyone’s attention at once.

They turned to look at Penelope with hostile eyes in unison.

Penelope panicked and braced herself to resort to sophistry. “I’m not wrong. Ben Landor always has a bad reputation. Of course, I understand that you employees dare not to openly complain your boss.”

“You understand nothing,” An irascible male employee scolded. “Though Mr. Landor is busy, he is still concerned about the meals for employees at the bottom. How can we ever be dissatisfied with such a thoughtful boss?”

“That’s right. We not only have the best salary and working environment in the industry but are also provided with all kinds of surprises from time to time. Mr. Landor is the best!”

This employee was practical..

“That’s right. Moreover, he is such a dutiful husband! How could a person who dotes on his wife so much be evil? The rumors are just rumors but not the truth.”

“I think Mr. Landor becomes cute and gentle when Susan is around. He often smiles at her, and he only smiles at her! I envy their love so much!”

This employee was a fan of Ben and Susan’s love.

Soon, everyone in the canteen spoke up for Ben.

Penelope felt she had been condemned by all the staff.

The more she listened to their defense of Ben, the livider she became.

She kept roaring in her heart, “What’s going on?

What on earth has happened in the past few months?

Why has Ben Landor’s reputation suddenly changed drastically?”

Charlie chuckled even more happily at the sight of how eagerly the employees defended Ben.

“Sir, this woman is talking shit about Mr. Landor. She’s no good. Stay away from her,” A young girl said as she tugged at Charlie’s sleeve.

Penelope had a terrible look. She couldn’t help but snap, “Stop pretending! You all act righteously now, yet the posts on the staff forum are all complaints about Ben Landor!”

“Madam, what you talked about happened ages ago,” The young girl retorted bluntly. “Some people indeed complained about Mr. Landor before, but now we all find that he is a warm gentleman who just looks cold on the outside. We all regret misjudging him!”

The young girl clicked open the forum and showed it to Charlie.

Charlie took a close look, only to find that the posts were all praises for Ben or his love story with Susan.

Charlie turned around and gave Penelope a meaningful look.

Penelope was so ashamed that she was on the verge of tears.

She thought helplessly, “I’m screwed.

Charlie must have thought that I had ulterior motives.

But what I said used to be the truth!

I feel wronged..

I really didn’t lie.

A few months ago, everyone was indeed full of complaints…”

They had lunch in the canteen.

Charlie enjoyed the food with relish.

In contrast, Penelope gnashed her teeth resentfully while eating.

Susan came over with a smile after lunch. “Grandpa, Mrs. Landor, do you want to look around at some other places of the company?”

“There’s no such need,” Charlie replied, grinning from ear to ear. “Ben has handled everything very well. I have nothing to worry about.”

Penelope remained silent, sulking. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
