Chris was now married, yet Shelly, acting as a friend, tended to his every need during dinner in front of his wife. Any woman with a slight shred of self-respect would never do such a thing. Perhaps men would have a thing for women fawning over them. However, other women despised that sort of thing. Besides, everybody loved Paige. They may not have known her before, but after spending a few days with her, they found that Paige was a soft-spoken, kind, and simple woman. She was quiet and discreet in the office, never bossing people around just because she was the boss’ wife. “This is delicious.” Chris put his fork out to Paige so that she could have a bite. Paige was speechless. She looked at Chris in surprise, flattered that he was feeding her. Paige opened her mouth and ate the food before uttering with a sweet smile, “Yeah, babe. It’s delicious.” She blushed. Chris glanced at Paige, which made her blush harder and feel self-conscious. She believed Chris might hav

As Paige held her phone up, a text message came in. It was from Gloria. Gloria texted, “Are you okay, madam?” Paige wrote back, “Why wouldn’t I be?” Gloria replied, “Mr. Jewell seemed angry.” Paige had no words. Gloria added, “Is he really angry?” Paige responded, “Yeah.” “I knew it,” Gloria wrote.Paige asked, “Knew what?” Gloria texted, “From my years of navigating the love field, Mr. Jewell is jealous.” “Jealous?” “That’s right.” Paige was speechless. Then, Gloria typed, “Your neighbor is hot, and you had fun talking to each other. Mr. Jewell didn’t have the chance to join in the conversation, so he became jealous.” Paige did not know what to say. Gloria wrote, “I can’t believe I’d see the day Mr. Jewell would be jealous. What a surprise.” Paige was lost for words. Gloria texted again, “I thought an emotionless man like Mr. Jewell wouldn’t know what love is.” Paige responded with silence. Gloria remarked, “You’re awesome, Mrs. Jewell.” Paige

Ann wanted to control her son and his marriage. “Did you tell her I won’t leave you alone?” Chris asked indifferently. Paige turned red in the face and looked at Chris. She could not possibly make such a shameless remark to Ann. Ann would have a problem with Paige saying that. In fact, she would call Paige shameless for thinking her son would be all over her when she did not have the charm, the looks, or the body. “I didn’t mention it,” Paige murmured blushingly. Chris uttered callously, “You can tell her that when we’re home tonight.” Paige wanted to apologize and say she could not do it. “I think Ann is right. We’re young. We should listen to our bodies and practice restraint. Moderation is the key. Too much of anything is bad for us.” Despite the burning in her cheeks, Paige bit the bullet and blurted it out. “Bad?” Chris raised his brow at Paige. Paige remained quiet. Chris asked, “Are you worried I'll push myself too hard and not be able to keep doing it?”

Sandra, Margaret, and Gloria exchanged looks. Although Shelly said nothing, the look on her face showed she got the snub. Shelly was new, so she probably did not know Chris’ routine. Although work was important, he did not overlook his health and quality of life. When he had an afternoon nap every day, he would lock his office door to stop anyone from bothering him. They knew Shelly would be shut out, but no one gave her the heads-up. What was the point anyway? If they were nice to tell her about it, Shelly might think they were out to stop her. Shelly needed a rude awakening to accept reality. Although Shelly pretended to work, she could not focus. Her attention kept being drawn to Chris and Paige in the lounge, and she wondered what they were doing. Were they sleeping or sleeping together? Shelly knew that Chris and Paige were married, so it was normal for them to engage in intimacy. …Chris woke up at 1:40 p.m. without an alarm clock. He had trained his biological clo

Paige was just an average and ordinary heiress. Despite everything, she got exclusive pampering from Chris.“Mr. Jewell is right.”“Mr. Jewell is a manly man.” “He’s so nice to you, madam.” The three secretaries in the room commented with a smile. They were not sucking up to Paige. They honestly believed that Chris was good to Paige. Not many men would be supportive of their wives, even if they had the means to. Only a handful of men would give their mothers sass to defend their wives. Paige was a lucky woman, and they were envious of her. Paige’s cheeks flushed red.Although Paige intentionally bragged in front of Shelly, she felt shy and self-conscious. It was embarrassing. That was the little incident in the morning, and since they were busy, the women resumed their duties. … Sierra invited Paige out for afternoon tea, which Paige did not want to go to. She was afraid of being along with Sierra because the latter would bring Chris up every time, and Paige fel
