When Henry heard this, the glass in Henry's hand slipped and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. The water in the glass soaked the corner of his trousers. But he did not care as he hurriedly said, "Give… give birth? Then what should I do?" He panicked! He had actually done his homework, but when it was actually time to give birth, his mind went blank. Yvonne had never seen such a flustered man. She could not help feeling angry and funny at the same time. In the end, she calmed down
Yvonne Frey had a nightmare. In her dream, she was pinned down by a man.“Go away… Don’t touch me!”Yvonne was startled awake. Her eyes snapped open and she saw the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The decorations in the room were familiar to her.Was it a dream?She lifted the quilt and was instantly shocked!W-What’s going on!“Sue!” Yvonne hurriedly put on her clothes and ran downstairs. Sue, her housekeeper, happened to be cleaning the living room.Sue turned off the vacuum cleaner and looked at her in surprise. “I’m here, madam. What’s wrong?”“Did you see a stranger upstairs this morning? I think… I think someone came into my room!” Yvonne went pale. She couldn’t help shaking when she recalled her dream.“A stranger?”Sue quickly put down the vacuum cleaner and strode to her. “Madam, are you sure it wasn’t a mistake? I got up early to prepare breakfast, but didn’t see anything out of place in the house.”“No, I’m sure!” Yvonne was about to cry. “Sue, can yo
“You don’t wish for my return?”He walked past the woman in front of him and went over to the sofa.“O-Of course not!” Yvonne smiled stiffly. “I was just surprised because… you suddenly came back unannounced…”In the past three years, there was a time when she anticipated his return day and night. After countless disappointments, she gradually stopped looking forward to it.Yet now, he came back without a word! Not only that, but they even did that kind of thing. How was she supposed to react to this?!Yvonne tensed up as she cautiously went over to sit across from him, trying to get used to being a wife again.However, the man wouldn’t even look at her and abruptly said, “I’ll be living here from now on.”“What…?!” Yvonne choked and coughed until her face was flushed as she looked at him in disbelief.Henry gave her a displeased look. She promptly covered her mouth for fear of disturbing him.After a while, she couldn’t hold back from asking, “W-Why have you suddenly thought
“I have no current plans for children.”In her anticipation, the man in front of her slowly parted his thin lips, then shattered all her fantasies with his deep and cold voice.“Huh?” Yvonne was confused at first, but she very quickly understood the situation.His indifferent tone… was extremely unpleasant to her ears.“No worries, I understand.” She tried her best to act indifferent. “I’ll take the morning-after pill.”“Do you have anything else to tell me?” Yvonne asked carefully with a cautious smile on her face.“No.”Henry tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, looking both very satisfied and uncomfortable with her reply.He had married Yvonne Frey in the first place only because she wasn’t as scheming as other women out there who always tried to use every method to conceive his child so that they had a valid reason to stay by his side.Why did she never think of that?Was it because she didn’t care about him?Henry frowned, but suddenly realized that his opinion was
By the time they made it to the lobby, it was already crowded. A few female secretaries were whispering to each other.“Did you hear? They said the new boss is from Ontario. He already owns several companies and seems to be rich! Not only that, but he’s also still single!”“Are you sure? The new boss married a woman that his family arranged for him long ago. He doesn’t even like her.”“Yeah, I knew about it too! I heard the CEO had a great relationship with his ex-girlfriend, but was forced to break up and marry his current wife due to his family. They aren’t even in love.”Lynette couldn’t help but eavesdrop on the exciting conversation going on around them. She turned her head back and tugged on Yvonne’s sleeve. “Did you hear that, Yvonne? I wonder what our new boss looks like! Maybe he’ll be tall, rich, and handsome?”“I’ve no idea.”Yvonne curled her lips with little interest and played with the wedding ring on her ring finger. She was already married to the best man in the w
Oh no, did he notice?!Yvonne hurriedly lowered her head as she debated with herself about hiding. However, Henry quickly looked away and seemed to have not noticed her.Phew. She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t notice her.“Look, Mr. Lancaster. These are all the employees of this company. We are very much looking forward to your arrival.” The executive quickly went over to flatter him.Henry coldly acknowledged his flattery and led a group of executives behind him into the elevator, showing no interest in the man’s superficial skills.As the elevator door closed, Yvonne heard everyone around her talking in low voices. People were mostly admiring Henry for his looks and temperament.Words like ‘beautiful’, ‘handsome’, ‘noble’, and ‘tall’ seemed to be made for him.Yvonne couldn't be bothered to hear the gossip. She placed her hand over her racing heart and wanted to leave quickly, but she got caught by an overly excited Lynette. “Yvonne, did you see that?! The
“Yes.” Henry nodded with displeasure in his narrow eyes. “If Mr. Hendrickson isn’t satisfied with the person I chose, maybe you can advise me who to choose instead?”Among so many women with heavy makeup on their faces here, Yvonne Frey was the only one that was the most pleasing to his eyes.“No, not at all! Mr. Lancaster, you’re too serious!” Mr. Hendrickson didn’t dare to say anything.He quickly went off to bring Yvonne over and tried to make himself look good. “Well Yvonne, you’ll be Mr. Lancaster’s personal secretary. Assist him well. You can ask me if you need any help.”“...Alright,” Yvonne responded in a daze.She had no idea why Henry would choose her as his secretary. Maybe because it would be easier for them to work together since they knew each other already?She secretly stole a glance at Henry when he coincidentally looked away and wiped a trace of emotions away in his eyes.He talked to the executives next to him for a bit, then gave an order with his cold voice,
Yvonne deliberately spent her entire afternoon in the office. When she finished all the work she had in her hands, it was only three in the afternoon. There was still plenty of time before it was time to get off work.Seeing that there was really no other way to delay it, she had no choice but to muster up her courage and pick up the phone’s receiver, then dial the CEO’s office.After being promoted to the position of his personal secretary, she was given an office next to the CEO’s office.She had the entire room to herself.The call was picked up very quickly, and she instantly tensed up. “M-Mr. Lancaster? It's me…”“Prepare me a report of all the projects that the company has accepted in the past year and bring it to me before the end of the day.” The man’s cold voice came through the receiver and ignored her.“All the projects?” Yvonne’s eyes widened.Was that a task that can be done alone by one person?!“Do you have any other questions?” he asked coldly.“N-No.” Yvonne s
