Semua Bab CEO He is Paranoid: Bab 241 - Bab 250

After ending the call, Vivienne continued to ponder what reason she should use to talk to Asher. Should she mention the premarital jitters Julian mentioned, or should she say she wants to study abroad for a year? Or maybe she could suggest waiting until the new house is fully furnished before getting married? However, no matter which reason she considered, they all seemed somewhat forced. When Asher returned, Vivienne was still lost in her thoughts until he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, bringing her back to the present moment. "What are you thinking about?" he whispered, his warm breath brushing against her ear. "Nothing," she slightly tensed her neck and glanced at the only dish already prepared in the kitchen, while the other ingredients were waiting to be cooked. "We are having Chinese today. Could you wait outside for a moment? It won't take long." "Alright," he responded, but his hands didn't let go of her waist. "What's wrong?" she turned her head in confusio

Vivienne's heart sank when Alma told her that Asher had taken away all communication devices, including her phone. She searched her bag but couldn't find it. Even in the apartment, there was no sign of a telephone.The realization hit her that this was likely Asher's plan. Alma confirmed her suspicion, "Mr. Montgo has put away all communication tools.""Can you lend me your phone? I want to make a call to Asher," Vivienne requested."Sorry, Miss Sullivan," Alma replied.Vivienne bit her lip but didn't blame Alma. She knew Alma was just following orders, and there was nothing Alma could do about it.Back in the bedroom, Vivienne lay weakly on the bed. In just a few days, her relationship with Asher had deteriorated so drastically. Happiness felt like walking on thin ice, ready to break and plunge her into an icy abyss at any moment.Asher... Asher! She thought about his appearance when he angrily threw her phone yesterday, and her heart ached. He must have known that she was with Ezra

He still kept his head down, silent like a wooden puppet, allowing her to hold his hand and keep asking questions.Vivienne talked for a long time, but there was no response from Asher. So she simply got out of bed, quickly put on a coat, tied her hair in a messy bun with a hair tie, and then grabbed his wrist, trying to lead him out of the bedroom. However, it seemed as if his feet were rooted in place, motionless.Vivienne sighed, then returned to Asher and said, "The wounds on your hand must be treated at the hospital. Otherwise, those splinters will remain in your flesh and cause pain and potential infection.""It doesn't matter." His voice was faint, as if he was telling her that even if his hand became useless, it wouldn't matter."To you, it may not matter, but to me, it's important!" she insisted. "Even if you dislike hospitals, you must go."His eyelashes lifted slightly, and his dark gaze finally met hers. "Vivi, even if my hand hurts or gets infected, I won't let you leave

Only she could suppress his pain!His sudden action left Vivienne stunned, and the nurse on the side let out a surprised cry, clearly not expecting such an intimate move from the man.The doctor who was removing the splinter felt even more conflicted. The man who had scared her a moment ago now showed such affection to another woman.And that woman, in the doctor's eyes, seemed completely ordinary, nothing special at all, just like an average person you'd find on the street.But now, the doctor dared not say anything. She removed all the remaining splinters from his palm and prescribed the necessary medication on the medical card.When everything was done, the doctor felt a layer of cold sweat on her back. Only when she saw the two of them leaving the outpatient room did she finally relax.The nurse suddenly recalled something and said, "Dr. Lee, don't you think that man seemed a bit familiar just now?"Familiar? With the nurse's reminder, the doctor noticed that the man did indeed se

Julian took a bold move and asked for time off work, then went straight to Montgo Group. However, meeting the CEO of Montgo Group was not something everyone could do. Before Julian even stepped into the elevator, she was stopped by the receptionist and security."I'm sorry, miss, if you want to meet Mr. Montgo, please register using the form. If Mr. Montgo wants to see you, he will naturally meet with you," the receptionist smiled, but deep down, she already judged Julian as someone trying to get close to Asher.Julian was well aware that this registration was just a formality and that she wouldn't be able to meet Asher. Waiting outside Montgo Group for him to leave work was also a waste of time. So she decided to take a risk and dial Charles' phone number.After just two rings, the call was connected, and Charles' voice came through, "What's the matter?"Charles was always direct and to the point when he spoke."Can you help me with something?" Julian asked."Go on."With that respon
