Christian stopped Elizabeth from going to him. He looked up and said, “It’s okay, it was probably just too spicy.”
Elizabeth was naturally scared. If she brought him out to eat spicy noodle soup and ended up making the president of Ford Industries sick, she would be in big trouble.
Even though Christian said that she could tell that his face was becoming pale with pain.
Elizabeth hurriedly said, “No, we need to go to the hospital. What if it’s food poisoning or something? That will be too dangerous.”
Christian could not hide his discomfort and thought for a while before taking his phone out, “Call Andrin.”
Oh right, he had his personal doctor.
Elizabeth quickly took the phone and called Andrin.
“President Ford, you’ve been ignoring me for a while. I thought you really fired me,” Andrin answered.
“No… Dr. Andrin, It's Elizabeth, Christian is sick. Can
Elizabeth had no choice and said to her, “Fine, I’ll go pick you and you can stay with me tonight.”“Lisa, I didn’t do it on purpose too. I’m so unlucky. You can send someone else if you're busy""I'll come. don't worry" Elizabeth ends the call.She got the address and asked Andrin, “What time will the treatment end? I need to go pick up a friend.”Andrin said, “Madam, you can just stay here and keep President Ford company. I’ll help you pick your friend.”Elizabeth replied, “You probably won’t be able to find it…”“Isn’t she that friend who works with you?” Andrin said plainly.“Yes.”“I know where she is staying,” as he spoke, Andrin took his keys and left.Elizabeth was confused about how did he know about Susan's location. Susan had never mentioned Andrin...Inside, the nur
Elizabeth asked curiously, “What banquet is it?”Christian said, “Just an internal charity banquet. I need to bring a female partner along.”Elizabeth replied, “Then take your female partner along.”“I have a wife. Why would I need a female partner?”Elizabeth laughed, “Alright. Then, I’ll… go with you.”On the outside, it was as if she was being forced but she was actually happy about it.To attend a banquet with Christian.She had never done that before…Soon after, the caretaker called and told Elizabeth that she would be picked up to change her clothes and tidy up so that it would be more convenient for her to attend the banquet.In the evening.Christian arrived early and was in Elizabeth’s private makeup studio.As the makeup artist was a top-skilled professional, there usually were a lot of people. But, Today, becau
Elizabeth chuckled and looked at Christian. She pulled him over and said, "Come. Let’s take one with the beauty filter and one without. Try it and you’ll know.”“I don’t want…”“I won’t take no for answer…”Elizabeth pulled him over and tilted her head slightly towards him so that both of them could fit in the frame.Elizabeth said, “One, two, three, say cheese.”‘Snap!” The image of the two of them was locked in the phone screen.After adding the beauty filter, Elizabeth showed it to Christian, “See? Doesn’t this look very nice?”Christian raised his brow, “When people look good, they’ll look good in any photo.”Elizabeth said, “Wow, see this? The folds on your skin were all smoothened away. Your skin looks so tender.”“Elizabeth!” She was minding his age again!E
Chelsea said, “Then can you let Elizabeth come to my party? I’ll take it like your forgiveness for my past childishness.”Elizabeth looked at Christian with objection in her eyes.There was no way she would Go.If anything couldn’t make her happy, she would rather be tied to a leash.This was obviously not going to make her happy. Instead, it would make her furious. Also, who knows what kind of motive Chelsea would have? She was not going to walk into a trap.Christian looked at Elizabeth, then turned to Chelsea and said, “I don’t want to force her to do something she is not willing to do. It is entirely up to her.”Chelsea could only laugh dryly, “Is that so? Anyway, Elizabeth, you can think about it.”Elizabeth let out a breath of relief and said, “I will consider it.”Chelsea still wanted to talk to him, but she could only look at Christian and tolerate it. Sh
When Christian heard Chelsea bid for a tie clip just for him, He rejected immediately. But Chelsea's "I just wanted to give you something like a friend and it’s just a little something" he was Tongue-tied.Christian said, “Fine. I’ll get someone to take it tomorrow.”“Yes, good,” Chelsea wanted him to come personally but thought that she should not be so clingy. Thus, she controlled herself.If she wanted to be better than Elizabeth, she had to endure!Chelsea said into the phone, “I didn’t think that you would bring Elizabeth to tonight’s charity gala. This was your first time bringing someone to an event; do you know that? You never brought me in the past…”Christian hesitated and then said, “But I didn’t have anyone to bring in the past… You never liked attending dinners either, did you?”“I… Who says I didn’t? I thought you mere
For the sake of a free ride home, Susan decided not to pick a fight with him. She humbly got in the car and soon reached home.When she alighted, Susan then pulled a face at Andrin and said, “Being a lackey may give you a car and money, but you still had to send me back. Heh heh heh.”She immediately ran inside.“You…” Andrin could not chase after her in time. He could only watch her run into the lobby and shut the gate forcefully.Sitting in the car, he mumbled, “What a fast runner.”Susan entered and immediately was pressed by her own mother.“Ah! You scared me, Mom,” Susan exclaimed.Her mother pulled her towards the window and pointed down at the car that had just driven off. She asked, “Who just sent you home?”Behind her mother, her sister chimed in, “Yeah, Sis. Who was that? Why did that person send you home? I saw that the car was a Porsche too. Wh
When Elizabeth woke up the next day, she felt her head was in a mess. She tried to remember what happened last night but realized that the sun was already high in the sky and her head was resting in the nook of a soft arm.She seemed to recall what happened and when she turned around, she saw Christian beside her.It turned out that she had been sleeping in his arms…She quickly looked down to inspect her clothes and saw that she was still wearing the clothes from yesterday. Only then did she relax.However, she could not remember what exactly happened last night.Meanwhile.Christian opened his eyes slowly.He frowned at this fidgety woman who was starting to move again.He did not sleep properly last night and he was now being disturbed again. His face had become indescribable.When she saw Christian’s quiet gaze, Elizabeth quickly sat up and moved away from his arm.Rubbing her head, she said, &ldq
“No matter what it was, it’s like you. I can’t afford to want it.” Elizabeth said.What does she mean she can't afford to have me?...Christian grabbed her hand and slowly lowered it.If it was only a natural desire for her, then why did it all disappear after hearing all these?Christian looked plainly at her, “I’m sorry. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”Christian had indeed never really put himself in her shoes before.Because he was affected by Andrin’s words and only thought about that one sentence, he only thought of wanting her and not understanding his own dilemma.However, this was indeed unfair to her.Christian said, “I promise you that as long as I haven’t properly understood myself, I won’t touch you like this again.”Elizabeth halted and looked at Christian’s face. She felt extremely touched.All men wer
