Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 340

Afraid that Victor wouldn’t believe him, Joey made a swearing sign and stretched out his three fingers.

Victor didn’t say anything as he gave him a glance. He simply accepted the documents that Ivan had sent him. Carson was handling the majority of the Sullivan Group’s business at the moment, but he needed to examine and make decisions on the most important matters.

He needed to be extra cautious now that so many individuals were attempting to drag him down from his position as CEO of the Sullivan Group.

Joey stood up and walked over to the bedside. “Mr. Sullivan,” he murmured, his big, soft, eyes blinking. Victor moved his head to face him.

“I didn’t eavesdrop on purpose, but I’m curious about something.” There was a hint of slyness in Joey’s innocent eyes.

“What do you want to know?”

“Miss Salazar just said she wants to celebrate her birthday with you,” Joey said. “Are you going?”

Before Victor could respond, Joey continued, “It’s not a big issue if you go. You were engaged until recently, and even though you aren’t now, you can still be friends…”

As Victor listened, he could somehow sense that Joey was feeling jealous.

“Joey.” Victor suddenly spoke in a hushed tone. “What?” Joey raised his eyebrows and looked at him blankly.

Victor gulped. He called out to him without thinking of anything to say. After a brief pause, he closed the file and said, “What did Carson say to you? Is this what you’ve been thinking about?”

Right at this moment, Carson was listening to the executives presentations in the Sullivan Group’s conference room, feeling sleepy. But all of a sudden, he sneezed.

The senior executives who were reporting work matters to him were startled by his noise and all eyes shot him an awkward glance.

Noticing that everyone was staring at him, Carson raised his eyebrows and touched the tip of his nose. Before he could say anything, the executive who was presenting asked timidly.

“Mr. Scott… Is there anything in my report that needs to be corrected?”

Carson heard the man’s question and answered, “No.”

He wondered who was speaking ill of him behind his back.

Hearing this, the man exhaled a sigh of relief and smiled, but before he could fully relax, he noticed

Carson had closed the file in his hand and tossed the pen on the desk before standing up.
