Semua Bab Mistress on My Husband's Phone: Bab 21 - Bab 30

I admired myself in the mirror. The layered dress in a lovely soft pink color fit perfectly and felt comfortable on me.With natural yet classy makeup, my appearance was truly incredible tonight.Suddenly, I remembered someone.Oh my god, Albert!Why had I not asked Bradley about Albert?I quickly contacted Bradley."Hey! Brad, have you contacted Albert?""Mr. Peterson wants you to come alone. No assistants or companions."I tremble at Bradley's explanation."What? Are you serious, Brad?""Relax. I got some info from his assistant. Mr. Peterson is an easygoing guy, especially with women. You might end up enjoying his company so much you won't want to leave. Hahaha!""Brad! That's not funny!"I tried to stay calm. Hopefully, I wouldn't be too nervous later.Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, I gathered my courage and headed to the location Bradley had mentioned.On the way, I called Albert repeatedly. But he doesn't answer any of my calls.I wanted to get his opini

I felt like I had just been struck by lightning. I just couldn't believe what Uncle Benny had just said. How could I marry a guy I just met yesterday?"Sorry, Uncle Benny, can you repeat that?" I asked, hoping it was just a prank."Well, I, your late father, and Troy's late father were friends since college," Uncle Benny began to explain."Your dad and Troy's dad were successful in building their companies. They had agreed to merge their companies by having their children marry each other. And so, they made a will," Uncle Benny explained in detail.I noticed Troy smiling the whole time."Troy, did you already know about this?" I asked, suspicious."Yes, that's true. I've been keeping an eye on my future wife for a while. Sarah, it's time for you to be happy. After suffering so long with that useless man, I promise to make you happy for the rest of my life. Marry me," Troy said.I was stunned, looking at Troy who was suddenly standing right in front of me. My heart was pounding.

Albert refused to let me take him home. He got his chauffeur to pick him up from the hospital instead."It's already late; you should go home," Albert said, patting my head.I felt awkward because of his gesture."Thanks for caring about me," he continued, smiling and trying to tease me."Oh, come on! Who's caring? Don't get too full of yourself!" I replied, pretending to be annoyed.Albert laughed again.We parted ways in the hospital lobby. Joshua was already there to pick me up. Suddenly, my phone rang.It was Sofia. I wondered what it was. It was unusual for the house help to call."Hello, Sofia. What's up?""Ma'am... I'm so sorry...""What's wrong, Sofia? Please, tell me quickly!" I panicked, fearing bad news about Gillian, my daughter."Sorry, ma'am. After school, Gillian asked to be taken to her grandmother's house. I tried calling you, but I couldn't reach you. Since Gillian insisted, we went there."I breathed a sigh of relief."Alright, it's okay, Sofia. I’m on m

"Your company is impressive, Troy," I started the conversation."Yes! It's all thanks to my hard work all this time," Troy proudly replied, adjusting his imaginary tie."Sarah, have you made a decision regarding our arranged marriage?""S-sorry! I can't talk about it right now. My company is in trouble." I deliberately baited Troy."What seems to be the problem? How can I help?""It seems like someone wants me to go bankrupt," I replied firmly, observing the response from this overly handsome man."Oh, really? Then I'll send my people to investigate." Troy looked at me with a hint of concern on his face. Only God knows if he was being sincere."It's best not to involve outsiders in your company's internal affairs right now.""What do you mean?" I retorted.Troy just smirked. Could he be referring to Albert? This was such a pain. Why were they both suspicious of each other?"Don't fully trust anyone, Sarah! The business world is cruel. Even those closest to you can be wolves i

[Sarah, it looks like we have to step in and kick Derrick's family out.]This morning, I received a text from Carrie while I was getting ready to head to the office, so I had to pause for a moment.Me: Yea. I really want to kick them out myself. When are those debt collectors heading there again?Carrie: Today.Me: Alright. Let's meet up there then. Bring all the important documents.Carrie: Got it, boss.While waiting for Joshua in the lobby, I messaged Bradley that I'd only be coming into the office in the afternoon."We're not going to the office. We're heading to Gillian's grandma's house.""Got it, Ma’am," Joshua replied.The car headed towards Derrick's house. It did not take long for us to arrive."We'll park here for now," I said to Joshua as the car stopped a few meters away from Derrick's house.Carrie's car was parked up front. She and some debt collectors must be there now. I had better wait for a while before following her inside.It was only 7 a.m.. So Derrick
