Chapter 130 Stomachache

"No."

Athena's tone was light.

Byron looked at her, and his eyes darkened.

"Why are you staring at me? Didn't I send you a WhatsApp message that day, and I rejected it?" Athena glanced at him.

She probably was afraid of Byron for too long.

She somehow felt a little guilty under his direct gaze.

"You wanted to leave. That was why you rejected me," Byron said word by word, "Athena, do you still want to leave?"

Athena's heart skipped a beat.

She tried her best to maintain calm.

"No," she replied.

Byron felt a dull pain in his heart as if a blunt knife was stabbing him one after another.

Athena was lying.

"Then accept my proposal and become the president." Byron's attitude was undeniable.

He gradually understood that there were many things that Athena couldn't let go of.

She cared about her friends, relatives, and career, except for him.

If she accepted to be the president of the energy company, she would have put her attention to work. It would be an additional concern, and she would not want to leave.

Even if she stayed here not for him, it was enough if he could keep her firmly.

"Mr. Crawford, I can't do it well." Athena frowned. She refused him again.

"Are you worried you would lose money? I have enough money for you to lose!" Byron insisted on keeping her. "I don't think you need to rest anymore. Go to work at the company tomorrow. Ruby has already left. You can attend the pre-meeting of the energy company with the identity of my secretary. I'll officially announce your identity as the president after the preparations."

The president of the energy company was hot property.

Many people in the company were striving for the position.

Byron suddenly announced that Athena would be the president. She would face a lot of attacks and doubts.

Therefore, Byron decided to let her participate in the preparatory meeting first.

During this period, those technical backbones could see Athena's ability.

Once the technical backbones recognized Athena, the rest could be solved easily.

He also planned to let Athena take over Eric's first sales department. It could be worked as the sales department of the energy company.

Eric and others recognized her ability. They didn't need to waste time in coordinating.

But...

Byron would not tell Athena about these plans.

He had never been good at being nice and asking for credit.

Athena maintained silence. She held the fork and poked a piece of steak on her plate into shredded meat.

There was only one thought in her mind.

"He wants to use the energy company to keep me here for a long time.

I can't wait any longer.

I must die as soon as possible.

And get this shitty situation over soon."

"Oh, I see." This thought killed her appetite. Athena put down her fork and stood up. "You eat. I..."

"Sit down." Byron stared at her.

His eyes were cold and terrifying.

Athena clenched her hands under the table tightly. "I'm full."

"I don't think so." Byron tapped the table with his fingertips. "Have some more. You can stop eating until I think you are full."

Athena knew his temper was on the edge of breaking.

To avoid an even more uncontrollable situation, she gritted her teeth and sat down. Then, she picked up the fork again and continued to eat slowly. Neither of them spoke again.

However, Athena was surprised that Byron ate another bowl of soup after drinking one.

He also ate a lot of roasted chicken.

His stomach was not very good, so he can't eat too much.

Athena wanted to stop him.

But thinking about his domineering attitude, she swallowed her words.

After supper, she took more than half an hour to shower.

When she left the bathroom, she saw Byron curling up on the bed and holding his stomach.

He knew his stomach was not good, but he still ate so much food. That idiot!
