Susan had seen Lewis on TV, he was the kind of person at the pinnacle of the pyramid, someone she could never come into contact with in her lifetime, but now, Lewis himself was sitting in front of her.
The man in person was even more handsome than on TV. His well-tailored suit accentuated his lean figure, and he carried an inherent noble and cool charm, handsome, calm, with a strong aura.
Susan was so nervous that her palms were sweating, her heart was racing, and her cheeks were blushing.
Which woman wouldn't blush and get excited at the sight of such a handsome and rich man?
Lewis began to speak, his tone indifferent, "About last night, I promised you I would take responsibility. You can choose to accept this check for five million dollars, or choose to move to the Royal Manor to be my woman."
Last night?
Susan was confused.
The latter sentence 'be my woman' completely shocked Susan.
This was more thrilling than winning the lottery. The man sitting in front of her was Lewis, the man in charge of the billion-dollar Kaire Group.
To be Lewis's woman, wouldn't that mean endless wealth and glory?
Susan was shocked into silence.
Seeing that Susan's face turned pale and looked frightened, Lewis softened his tone, "I found your resume on the floor of the hotel room, that's how I found you here. Don't be afraid, I'll give you time to think."
Susan also had long, black hair, she and Judy used the same shower gel and shampoo, and there was a faint mint scent on her, which confirmed to Lewis that the woman last night was Susan.
Lewis had someone investigate Susan. She was an orphanage graduate, a high school graduate, currently unemployed and looking for a job everywhere.
Her background was clean.
The spot of blood on the hotel bed sheet proved that it was Susan's first time. As a man, Lewis found it only natural that he should take responsibility.
Of course, it was even more important that this was the first time a woman had made him lose control.
Seeing that Susan was still silent, Lewis shifted the topic, "Why did you go to the Holiday Hotel last night?"
"Holiday Hotel? I..." Susan regained her senses and stammered.She only gave her resume to Judy, and it seemed that Judy's departmental gathering last night was just downstairs at the restaurant of the Holiday Hotel.
Susan recalled that Judy came back in the morning and had lost her resume. She realized what had happened. The woman last night was Judy, Lewis had mistaken the person.
"I went there for a job interview, I... I didn't know it was you last night, I was very scared, so I... I just went home."
Susan nervously claimed, facing the billion-dollar rich and handsome Lewis, how could she resist?
As long as she followed Lewis, she would be catapulted to the top instantly. Maybe she could even become the female owner in the future, if not, there would be compensation, and she would definitely have more money than she could use.
She wouldn't have to live in poverty anymore, crammed into this 60-square-metre rented house.
For this reason, Lewis didn't have much doubt, "I'll give you three days to think about it."
"...Okay." Susan didn't immediately agree, like Lewis, this rich man, she couldn't appear too indiscreet.
More importantly, Judy was coming back, Susan was worried that if Lewis ran into Judy, the game would be up.
"When you've made up your mind, call my assistant."
Lewis didn't stay long, dropping an assistant's business card and leaving.
Just as his car started, the taxi Judy was in arrived, just passing by.
The taxi stopped, and Judy got out and returned to the rental house, "Susan, did you see the message I sent? We're going out for dinner tonight..."
Seeing Susan sitting on the sofa in a daze, Judy walked over in confusion, "Susan, what's wrong? Didn't get the job? It's okay, I've just been converted and promoted, I'll support you, let's go out for dinner tonight."
"Let's eat at home." Susan steadied her heart and said a bit guiltily, "I bought some vegetables. I'll go cook."With that, Susan went to the kitchen to make a start.
"Well, let's save some money, eat at home, and when John comes back from his business trip, we'll all go out for a big meal together." Judy also went into the kitchen to help, caring, "Susan, what's wrong with you, you seem stunned."
Hearing that she was promoted and regularized, Susan didn't respond at all, which was too strange. If it had been before, she would definitely have been nagging her to treat.
"No, nothing." Susan's eyes dodged, and she stammered, "Judy, I might be moving out."
"Have you suddenly moved away?" Judy felt very surprised, "You haven't found a job yet, don't you have no money? Where are you going to live? We've never been separated."
"I'm moving in with my boyfriend. He said he'd support me." Susan looked steadily at Judy and said, "You won't keep me from pursuing happiness, will you?"
Susan in front of her suddenly seemed a little strange to Judy. That look and tone, as if she would become the most heinous criminal if she interfered."Have you got a boyfriend? How come you never mentioned him before? What does your boyfriend do, where is he from, and did he ask you to move in? When a man says 'I'll take care of you,' it could just mean meager meals, women need to work to have confidence. If you get deceived, with your gentle nature, these men love to pick on someone like you to bully...""Judy, is that how you see me?" Susan interrupted her.Judy was taken aback and explained, "No, that's not what I meant..."Susan interrupted again, "He won't deceive me, he's a local, his family is rich, he runs a company. Finding a good man is more important than finding a good job. If you find the right man, life won't be as hard.Women are supposed to live comfortably; earning money is a man's job. I don't have your abilities, and I'm not as pretty as you. I just want to find a
Susan couldn't wait for the third day and contacted Lewis's assistant the very next day, expressing her desire to move to the Royal Manor and become Lewis's woman.She made the call after Judy had gone to work.Within an hour, Leo, accompanied by bodyguards, drove to pick up Susan."Miss, please get in the car," Leo said very respectfully. As the only woman currently allowed to live at the Royal Manor, and potentially becoming the lady of Caler Group in the future, he naturally showed great respect.Susan glanced at Leo and the bodyguards behind him, then looked at the luxury car, her vanity greatly satisfied.She had lived in poverty for over twenty years, looked down upon by others, and this was the first time she could ride in a car worth millions and be treated so respectfully.Susan straightened her back and walked towards the luxury vehicle.At that moment, a neighboring aunt called out, "Susan, are you moving? Is that your boyfriend?"Driven by vanity, Susan said arrogantly, "H
Lewis's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at her. "What were you just thinking about? I want the truth."Judy couldn't possibly tell the truth; what would happen if Lewis knew she was fantasizing about being with him 'in that way'? Would he silence her for good?She composed herself and replied innocently, "I was thinking about what to have for dinner tonight."A flicker in Lewis's brow hinted at disbelief. Despite Judy's ostensibly honest and simple demeanor, he felt that it was definitely not her true nature.This woman was cunning.Lewis fixed his eyes on her and asked, "Do you know why I transferred you to the secretary department?""I know." Judy replied as if sincerely, "Leo said it was because I look dowdy."Lewis's lips twitched. "...""You certainly are... self-aware." Lewis was at a loss for words, never before having encountered such an 'obedient' female secretary."You won't be having what you'd like for dinner tonight because you're going out with me."If Judy hadn’t kno
The first day Susan moved into the royal manor, she was very excited. She took a bath early and changed into new pajamas, waiting for Lewis to come back. She waited for a very long time and was almost falling asleep when finally, she heard some noise. Just as Susan was about to enter the bedroom, she heard a familiar voice: "Mia (family maid), please take care of the president. We'll be heading off." That was Judy's voice. Susan had lived with Judy for over twenty years and knew her voice well. Why would Judy be in Lewis's room? Susan quickly remembered that Judy was Lewis's secretary, so her presence at the royal manor was perfectly normal. Hearing that Judy was about to leave, Susan quickly hid in the adjacent room and waited until the footsteps descending the stairs faded away before she emerged and headed to Lewis's master bedroom. "Mia, let me take care of Mr. Lewis. You're getting on in years and shouldn't overexert yourself this late at night." Mia was
Lewis shook his head, stood up, and went to take a cold shower in the bathroom to calm his burning desires.Meanwhile, Susan, who had been sent out, felt wronged and uneasy. She didn’t know what had made Lewis unhappy.She cautiously tried to guess what was on Lewis’s mind.In the hallway, Susan ran into Mia and asked earnestly, "Mia, I can't seem to fall asleep. Could you keep me company and chat for a bit?"It was late, and Mia wanted to go to rest, but considering that Susan was now Lewis’s woman, she had to muster her energy and said with a smile, “OK.”"Susan, I have a question for you," Susan began to inquire. “Does Lewis dislike lilies?”Mia nodded, “Yes, Mr. Lewis hates lilies. They are not allowed in the house at all; not even the scent of lilies, nor even mentioning them.”Susan realized she had touched upon a huge taboo for Lewis and asked anxiously, “Why?”“I don’t know,” Mia shrugged. “Anyway, Lewis doesn’t like lilies.”Knowing this about Lewis, Susan hurried back to her
The neighbor lady said, "I didn't get a clear look at the license plate number, but it was a local one, seemed to have three 8s in it, I don't remember exactly.'"Judy felt a bit disappointed, she still wanted to check the license plate number.Susan had been hemming and hawing, unwilling to even say her boyfriend's name, definitely something fishy going on."Ma'am, I'm in a hurry to get to work, can't chat now, might miss the subway," Judy glanced at the time, feeling a bit anxious inside.Her place was quite far from the company, taking forty minutes by subway.At 7:59 AM, Judy arrived at the company.She had run all the way from the subway station and quickly took a sip of water to catch her breath."Judy, you're panting like that, were you chased by a dog?" Secretary-General Linda teased.Judy waved her hand, panting, "One more minute, and there goes my perfect attendance reward."Linda asked, "Where do you live?""Suburbs," Judy replied. "It takes forty minutes by subway.""That'
Judy felt curious about what her Lewis' girlfriend looked like and why Lewis was so indulgent that he even sent her gifts on special days without caring about the cost.After Leo reported his work and left, Lewis also went to the meeting room for a conference, and Judy continued to write her scheme.Just before leaving work, she finally finished writing, took a long breath of relief, checked it again, and was quite satisfied.At that moment, Judy's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she quickly answered."John." Judy's voice was cheerful: "Have you come back from your business trip?"On the other end of the phone, a man's gentle voice replied: "Yes, I'm back. You should be getting off work soon, right? I'm downstairs at your company, let's have dinner together.""If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to leave on time," Judy said: "Some things have happened while you were away. I got promoted, and Susan, she found a boyfriend and moved out..."Judy briefly informed him about t
Judy previously blurted out a lie about having a fiancé, which ironically led to her promotion. Worried about being exposed and possibly fired by Lewis, she continued to fabricate stories.However, after speaking, the atmosphere in the car seemed to grow colder, and Lewis's expression changed. Had she said something wrong? Concerned about the company's preference against newly hired employees getting married or having children, Judy quickly added, “President, don't worry, I have no plans to marry before I'm thirty. I want to focus on my career first, working hard under your guidance to grow and strengthen Caler Group.”At her words about making the company stronger, Lewis's lips twitched slightly, and he glanced at her, “So, Caler Group isn’t strong enough now?”Judy nervously laughed, “President, Caler Group is already a top-tier conglomerate. With you at the helm, the company’s future is boundless.”Internally, Judy was frustrated by Lewis's sarcastic tone. Seeing her flattering dem
