Chapter 391: Perhaps It Was Love at First Sight
Thea Shaw only heard Warren Ford’s sound of sharp intake of breath for a long time.
She thought Warren Ford probably had nothing more to say, so she hung up the phone.
It was half an hour later by the time Landon Ford returned from his meeting.
Thea Shaw still remembered the matter and said, "Your dad called looking for you just now."
It wasn’t surprising for Warren Ford to look for him. There were still many things concerning the company, and no matter how they didn’t see eye to eye, they still needed to discuss them together.
So Landon asked, "What did he want to talk about?"
Thea Shaw: "He didn’t say. I told him to wait for you to call him back when you return."
Landon Ford snorted: "No need. If it’s urgent, he would call my private phone himself."
If it was urgent, Warren Ford would go through the secretarial department to ensure that Landon Ford receives the message.
Rather than directly calling Landon’s office phone.
His office rarely had anyone, which meant Warren Ford probably called just to spout some unmentionable nonsense.
Thea Shaw was relieved: "That’s good then."
Landon Ford was curious about how Thea Shaw answered the call: "Did he know it was you?"
"Yeah, at first neither of us recognized each other’s voices, but then we did, and he was quite surprised." Thea Shaw laughed, "He said he didn’t expect you to have a female secretary in your office, don’t you have a secretarial department?"
"The secretarial department is the secretarial department."
Landon Ford sat down in his office chair lazily: "I don’t like having too much private contact with people."
He had an entire secretarial department, with the chief secretary being Phillip Lane, all of whom were downstairs.
Unless necessary, Phillip Lane would come upstairs.
And he hired staff regardless of gender, as long as they had absolute ability and didn’t make trouble, he would promote them.
For other official matters that could be handled with a phone call, he didn’t need a secretary constantly by his desk.
He liked to enjoy a quiet environment alone.
Of course, this principle would now be broken because of Thea Shaw.
Because Thea Shaw was special.
But before, Landon Ford indeed encountered secretaries with different intentions—both male and female.
Before joining the company, their qualifications and competence were unquestionable, but their personalities, even after investigation, were not well understood at first.
Later, when Landon Ford noticed someone becoming inattentive at work, gazing at him with affectionate eyes while speaking, he fired them the next day for stepping into the company with their left foot first.
A lot of people liked him, and that particular type was precisely the kind he hated the most.
Mixing work with personal feelings.
He allowed Thea Shaw to come to the company and do as she pleased, but none of this would affect his work progress.
Thea Shaw found a moment to become interested: "Landon, did you not date before because you were put off by your father and developed a rebellious mindset, thinking dating wastes too much time?"
Her wording was still quite tactful.
Born in such a family, an ordinary person might be brainwashed to think that a father behaving like that outside is normal.
After all, men with money and power are like that.
It seemed that it wasn’t so much that Landon Ford hated Warren Ford’s behavior outside, but more that he opposed him, making things difficult for his son.
So it was a question of whether he was so disgusted by his father that he didn’t want to date.
"No."
Landon Ford propped his face on one side, his deep gaze intently falling on Thea Shaw: "Just never met anyone interesting."
To say something dreamy.
With Thea Shaw, it might just be love at first sight.
