My Contract Marriage with the CEO Chapter 64: Nightmare
The dial tone rang only twice before Greta's voice came through, calm and far too relaxed for this late hour. "I didn't expect you to call this soon, Paula." Paula sat on the edge of her bed, her back straight, one hand clutching her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. "I don't have time for small talk. Archibald Richter called me to his office today. He talked about reputation, evaluation, about how investor representatives must maintain their conduct." Paula scoffed. "He didn't mention Eleanor's name once, but I know damn well that was her doing." On the other end of the line, Greta did not immediately reply. The soft clink of a porcelain cup being placed on a saucer could be heard. "He didn't mention anything that could be used as evidence," Greta repeated softly, sounding more like she was weighing options than asking a question. "Just a subtle warning through business channels." "Yes. And I'm not going to just sit still." "Of course you won't sit stil
My Contract Marriage with the CEO Chapter 63: Paula's Frustration
The iron gates of the Hazelwood estate opened slowly as Paula's car came to a halt in front of them. Garden lights lined the driveway, reflecting off the calm surface of the pond as if this grand estate had never known chaos. Paula stepped out of the car without waiting for her driver to open the door. Her heels clicked sharply against the stone floor, far too fast for a woman who usually walked as if the entire world were waiting for her. "Miss, Mr. Edmund is asking for you in his study," a servant said the moment Paula passed through the main entrance. Paula's steps paused for half a second. Just half a second, but it was enough for the servant to bow deeper. "Now?" Paula's expression turned slightly irritated, her mood already soured. "He has been waiting since evening, Miss," the servant replied, keeping her head bowed. Paula took a breath, smoothed a stray strand of hair from her temple, and lifted her chin. She walked toward the study at the end of the corridor wit
My Contract Marriage with the CEO Chapter 62: Archie's Vigilance
The tense silence that had hung between them did not last long.Paula's face, which had previously only hinted at anger, grew even harder, her jaw clenching tightly to contain an ego that had just been so deeply bruised."Exhausted?" Paula repeated the word with a mocking tone, her eyes narrowing sharply as she stared at Julian. "You say you're exhausted of being treated like this? After everything my family has given you?"Julian did not answer, merely glaring back at Paula with a hardened jaw, trying his utmost to restrain himself from being provoked any further.However, Paula had no intention of stopping there. She stepped closer, standing so near that Julian could feel her ragged breath held in anger."Do you think you can talk to me like that, and everything will just be fine?" Paula hissed, her voice low but filled with an unmasked threat. "I can easily pull my family's entire investment out of your company, Julian. One phone call, and your small construction company could coll
My Contract Marriage with the CEO Chapter 61: Ranting at Julian
Julian's office door was shoved open violently without a single knock, making him startle as his gaze immediately shifted from his computer screen to the door.Julian's brow furrowed deeply seeing Paula walk into his workspace so abruptly.Paula stepped inside with a face that still retained the annoyance she had brought from the Richter Company, her high heels clicking loudly against the marble floor, her eyes narrowing sharply the moment she saw Julian sitting calmly behind his desk."Julian," Paula called out, her voice trembling with anger that had not fully subsided. "Are you still in contact with Eleanor?"Julian frowned, placing his pen down slowly. "What do you mean? In contact how? Why are you suddenly asking that? You know very well my relationship with Eleanor ended since that night.""Don't pretend you don't understand!" Paula approached, stopping right in front of Julian's desk with her breath still coming in gasps. "She must still be holding a grudge against me, and that
My Contract Marriage with the CEO Chapter 60: Archie's Warning
Archie glanced briefly at Eleanor, who sat quietly beside him, still looking at him with an expression full of questions."I will simply remind them that a business partner's credibility is measured not only by the size of the capital they invest, but also by how they maintain their conduct and reputation outside the boardroom," Archie spoke in a quiet yet emphatic tone."Understood, Sir. I'll prepare everything right now," Sam replied before the call finally ended.Archie lowered his phone slowly, letting out a long breath he had been holding."Mr. Archie," Eleanor called out softly, "what are you going to do to Paula tomorrow?"Archie looked at Eleanor, seeing the anxiety in his wife's eyes."Just doing what I ought to do," Archie answered, turning to look at Eleanor with an expression that had returned to its usual calmness. "I'm simply going to let her know, subtly, that her family's investment is under strict scrutiny. That a single minor mistake could make our side reconsider th
My Contract Marriage with the CEO Chapter 59: Soothing
The bathroom door opened slowly.Eleanor stepped out with a small towel draped over her shoulders, her hair still wet and clinging around her neck. The warm shower had indeed managed to ease some of the physical tension in her body, but not what was in her head.Crossing her arms over her chest, Eleanor walked toward the walk-in closet.Archie sat on the edge of the bed, watching Eleanor's every move. He could see it clearly—how the woman's shoulders were still tense."Ele." Archie's voice sounded soft, vastly different from the cold tone he had used on the phone with Sam moments ago. "Come here."Eleanor turned her head, her eyes still harboring lingering fear that had not completely faded. She stepped closer.Archie grabbed the hair dryer from the nightstand without a word, switching it on to a warm temperature as usual. However, this time, his movements were much softer, more careful, as if he were handling something extraordinarily fragile."I'm sorry, Sir," Eleanor whispered sudd
