Chapter 207
The cash machine showed the balance, and the amount was very large. Nelissa counted the numbers one by one with her fingers and took a deep breath. She thought that Edward had given her a monthly family. The money in the card… she could use it for a long time.
Edward gave her such a large sum of money. He probably wanted to take care of her mother’s medical expenses, but he didn’t say it out loud. He was probably afraid that she would cry again. Ah, when this man became gentle, he was so desperate.
Nelissa took back her card and left the bank. She couldn’t help calling Edward. On the other end, he said with a magnetic smile, “Have you finished checking?”
Nelissa looked at the road and asked, “You gave me so much money. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll lose my card?”
Edward smiled, as if he was really thinking about it. “If you lose it, you can freeze and lose it in an instant. Besides, I believe you’re not that stupid.”
Nelissa thought about it seriously. It didn’t seem like she was praising her. She said gloomily, “You’re so annoying.”
Edward made a sound of agreement, and a low voice came out of the microphone to Nelissa’s ear. “I hate it, but you like it.”
Nelissa couldn’t stand the man’s teasing. She was never his match. She walked quickly and said softly, “I’m going to the company. I’m not going to talk anymore. Goodbye.”
Edward was still chuckling, with a low and joyful tone. Nelissa immediately hung up the phone, patted her slightly hot cheeks, took a deep breath, and walked into the company.
Coincidentally, there was an elevator that had yet to leave. She trotted in and caught up with it.
It was working hours, and there were many people in the elevator. The crowded space was mixed with the perfume smell of various people. The smell of men and women was expensive, and Nelissa frowned slightly.
When she was young, she hated the smell of sweat on boys. She always felt it wasn’t clean, but she didn’t feel it on Edward. His body smell was very pleasant, and he had the habit of spraying men’s perfume, but his taste was very good. There were also outstanding, medium, and bad among mature men. To be honest, Edward was very excellent, and could be liked by female companions.
When Nelissa returned to the office, she put the bag in the drawer where she worked. Then she went to the tea room to wash the cups and make a bag of tea. After that, she took the cup and went out. Her colleagues also called to work one after another. A few of them were having breakfast. It was not the clock yet, and they began to gossip.
In today’s society, there was no lack of gossip and big news. Coincidentally, female colleagues saw a piece of news that inspired female hormones and complained to read it.
Nelissa smiled and drank her tea. She also turned on her computer and went online, thinking about joining the gossip group.
At this moment, Jolene opened the door to his office and called out to Nelissa, “Come in.”
Nelissa had to let go of the mouse and got up to go in.
Jolene waved his hand and pointed, “Close the door.”
Nelissa wondered what she was doing. She closed the door and unlocked it after thinking for a while. Then she went over to pull the chair open and sat down. She said with a smile, “What are you doing? Do you feel guilty before you jump into the trap?”
Jolene spat harshly at her. “Nonsense. This matter concerns our future fortune. You have to keep a tight grip on your mouth. Don’t speak nonsense before you hand over your resignation letter.” She gestured in front of her mouth before tossing her phone to Nelissa. “Take it and take a look.”
Nelissa took her phone and looked at it. It was covered with colorful diamonds. She looked at them and asked, “What are you looking at? Which man do you like that I want to give you advice?”
As she spoke, she opened her phone and saw that the page was still on Jolene’s Weibo. It was a hot news, and the title was:
[The rich man in Haleston City kisses his female companion on the street. The hero is Edward, the top young master in Haleston City.]
Nelissa was shocked. The news was accompanied by photos taken by paparazzi. On a rainy night, in front of a high-class Chinese restaurant, a tall and straight man bent down and kissed a female companion beside him. Because the umbrella in the man’s hand was completely in the direction of the female companion, the angle was just enough to cover the face of the female companion, and she could vaguely make out a woman with long hair.
However, adults could tell what the couple was doing. They kissed so intimately that they looked like lovers.
Nelissa’s cheeks immediately flushed red. This, this… was Edward’s forceful kiss last night.
Jolene rubbed his chin and asked, “This woman is you, isn’t she? I saw that the clothes you were wearing yesterday were exactly the same. Was it you?”
She nodded embarrassedly. “Yes.” Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s.
Jolene was relieved. She had thought that Edward was going out to steal some food. However, it was impossible. He had just gotten his marriage certificate with Nelissa, and the house had already been given several sets. Even if it was a scumbag, he wouldn’t be able to appear immediately. He had to stay there for some time. Furthermore, even if she couldn’t see her face, she could tell that it was Nelissa at a glance. It was a hundred percent.
A woman’s intuition was quite accurate.
Jolene said, “It’s a good thing that you’re holding a man’s jacket in your hands and blocking your clothes. Otherwise, you’ll be in the same position as Edward’s gossip actress. You have to know that the colleagues outside our office are like the heart of a man, while the women are like wolves and tigers. When they encounter this kind of gossip, they can even burn you to ashes.”
Nelissa coughed softly and said, “You’ve said it yourself.”
Jolene glared at her and picked up his phone. His fingertips touched the screen as he said, “However, the comments from the netizens below are two different things for your husband. They support him and he’s rich, willful, and generous. One of them said that he already has his fiancee, Sophie. He even went out to look for wild food and accused him of cheating on others!”
Nelissa defended Edward and said unconvinced, “He’s my husband. I’m his wife, no matter what he looks for.”
Jolene blurted out, “I don’t know.”
Nelissa didn’t say anything.
Jolene quickly tried to remedy the situation. “But there’s no rush in this matter. Since we’ve already gotten our marriage certificate, you and him are a true couple. You’re still the heroine of the gossip, and you’re right. It’s just that this woman, Sophie, is too stubborn. She’s already broken up with her, and she’s still sticking to the media. I thought that the daughters of rich families were all high-end, and that’s what men are most afraid of. She might as well turn around in a beautiful way. She’s a little too strange.”
Hearing this, Nelissa couldn’t help sighing. She thought to herself, “You don’t know that it’s even stranger. At that time, Sophie wanted to drug her and send her to Edward’s bed. Now I think about it again. Sophie is pregnant, but she has always been active in finding a “good sister” for Edward.” She used to feel strange and puzzled, but now she was a little scared.”
Back then, Sophie wanted to have a baby with her!
Nelissa covered her stomach and felt a little disgusting.
At the same time.
A few days ago, there was a little friction. The BMW’s body was scratched and sent to the 4S shop to take care of it. Now he went to get the car and then went to his studio first.
Susan worked in the entertainment circle. Although she was not a star, she was also known as “the most beautiful woman in Haleston City”. In addition to her reputation, she had a few B-list actors.
He had dealt with paparazzi, magazines, and media.
As soon as the secretary saw the boss, Susan, she quickly got up and walked over. She respectfully took out the brand-name bag for Susan, took off the sunglasses she handed over, and made her a cup of beautiful rose tea. Then she brought it to her and took out the latest newspapers and magazines for her to read.
The female secretary didn’t dare to stop for a moment. She had to pretend that she was very busy when she had nothing to do. She did her best to work and talk less.
Although Susan was beautiful, her temper was very strange. The outside world praised her as beautiful as a flower. But those who really worked for her knew that Susan was not on the altar, and she was crazy.
She lost her temper for no reason. Suddenly, she got angry and started to curse. She even heard her cursing dirty words several times. The words were unpleasant to the ears, but soon she calmed down. Then, she wrote a red packet as a seal fee.
Of course, the female secretaries dared not to refuse. They accepted red packets every time. Susan had already changed several female secretaries. Only she kept them and did not leave because she knew the situation. Those female secretaries had a loose tongue and exposed Susan’s character. The next day, they were fired and had problems with their style. No company dared to take them in the same trade, so they could only transfer. Most of them were incompetent.
Susan was in a good mood today. She looked at the newspaper and magazine and laughed from time to time.
She didn’t even raise her head to ask the secretary, “How’s the news going?”
The female secretary answered carefully, “It’s very good. Many netizens on Weibo have participated in the discussion and have attracted attention. You sold it to the media for exclusive photos. Our studio and media will have a better relationship in the future, which will also help our studio’s artists develop.”
The corners of Susan’s mouth curled into a sneer, and her eyes were short. She had worked so hard to get someone to take such a photo secretly, not for the money of a few small artists.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
She pressed the mouse and clicked on the Weibo website. Sure enough, there were several words like “Haleston City’s rich man passionately kissing his female companion on the street”. She went in to have a look and said coldly, “The popularity is not high enough. You can hire some navy to make comments and stir-fried below. I want to control the direction of public opinion. Edward is a foreigner. Who is the person in the photo? Do as this is said.”
The secretary analyzed, “But he is the president of Han’s company and has no business with our studio. It’s not good for us to spend money on it…” The secretary’s voice stopped, and Susan stared at her coldly.
She didn’t dare to say anything else.
Susan pointed at her with her fingertips and asked in a bad tone, “Are you the boss or am I the boss? Do what I asked you to do. If you don’t want to do it, quit. Don’t take your salary this month.”
The female secretary quickly bowed her head and apologized. “Nothing. I just can’t control my mouth. I’ll do it right away. I’ll do it right away.”
The female secretary immediately called her acquaintances in the business circle. She couldn’t lose this job. Her family had just bought a house and had to pay for it every month, so she didn’t dare to cut off the grain. Susan was very clear about her difficulties. Every time she sneered at her and told her not to resign. She knew that she didn’t have the courage to resign at all.
After the female secretary finished her work, she saw that Susan had finished her roses and wore a pair of sunglasses of more than ten thousand yuan. It seemed that she was ready to leave.
Susan suddenly asked without any expression, “Do you think that Sophie has seen this scandal?”
