The Contract Marriage

Chapter 292

Chapter 292 I’ll Sign It

Ruby’s father has been unable to get his legs down, and her mother went to her second sister’s house to serve her on her postpartum period. There was no one at home to take care of her father, so Ruby had been staying at home during this period of time. Ruby carefully took care of her father’s daily life. When she was preparing to make dinner this afternoon, she suddenly received a call from Julian. Looking at the familiar number on the phone, she smiled and walked out of the main room. She went to the room in the side to answer the phone. “Ruby, where are you now?” After Lucas drove the car for a distance, Julian impatiently dialed Ruby’s number. “Of course I’m at home. Julian, did something happen?” “Nothing happened. Ruby, I heard Vivian say you have a cold. Are you alright?” “It’s nothing, just a little cold. You don’t have to worry about me.” She was indeed somewhat uncomfortable in these two days. But it was not very serious. “I want to go and see you.” “No need. I’m not really sick.” If Julian came to find her, she did not know what Vivian would say. “I am already on my way. I will be at your house in about 40 minutes.” “It’s so late. You really don’t need to come.” Ruby did not expect him to come so quickly. So she stopped him. “You can rest assured this time. Vivian took the initiative to let me go.” Hearing her worry, Julian immediately explained. “Really?” Ruby asked in disbelief. “Of course it’s true. Don’t think too much. I’ll be there in a while. Wait for me.” About half an hour after Julian hung up, the car slowly stopped at Ruby’s house. Because she had received a call from Julian earlier, Ruby had been waiting at the door in advance. When she saw that it was indeed Julian’s car, she immediately walked forward. She reached out her

hand to open the car door and sat beside Julian. “Julian, why did you really come? Actually, I really am fine. Now that you’ve seen it, you don’t have to worry about me anymore. Do you know?” “Are you really alright?” Julian still did not believe it. “I am really alright. How have you been recently?” Ruby looked at Julian and sized him up.

“I’m good. How is your father’s leg?” “Much better than before.” At that moment, Lucas’s phone rang. He picked it up and answered the call. He looked back at Julian and said, “President, it’s Vivian. She wants to talk to you.” “Give it to me.” Julian took the phone and put it next to his ear. “Did something happen in the company?” “I’m at home now. Nothing happened at home tonight. You were too tired during this period of time. If you are too worried about Ruby’s health, you can stay at Ruby’s house for dinner tonight. I just asked my uncle for a favor and he said that he wanted to talk to you. . .” “Is that so? I understand.” Julian was delighted. This woman was so good to him that he was a little surprised. But to him, as long as he could spend more time with Ruby, he would not think too much about it. After hanging up the phone with Vivian, Julian looked at Ruby and thought, “I will have dinner at your house tonight. Vivian just said that your father has something to talk to me about. . . Let’s go.” “Is what you said true?” Ruby asked in disbelief. “It is true.” “Then wait a moment. I will go and ask my father.” Ruby was afraid that once Julian entered the house, her father would chase him out. That would not be good. “Okay, I will wait for you here.” Ruby got out of the car and quickly went into her yard. After a while, she walked out of the yard and took Julian out of the car.

Lucas also quickly got out of the car and went around the front of the car to stop Julian. “President, should I stay or go back first?” “Why don’t you wait for me here for a while and see what happens first?” “Yes.” Julian never would have thought that Ruby’s father’s attitude towards him would have a huge change this time. Not only did he chat with him, he even took the initiative to ask him to stay for dinner. Although Ruby did not understand what her father was trying to do, seeing her father’s attitude towards Julian change, she was also somewhat happy in her heart. When Ruby was making dinner, Ruby’s father heard that Julian’s driver was still waiting outside. He told Ruby that he wanted to tell Julian his true feelings tonight. So he told her to tell Lucas that Julian would stay here tonight and Lucas would drive back tomorrow morning to pick Julian up. Ruby hesitated for a moment when she heard her father’s instructions. However, she saw that Julian was also very excited and asked her to tell Lucas. After hesitating for a moment, Ruby still went out to let Lucas leave. She also told him to come and pick up Julian early tomorrow to work. During dinner, Ruby’s father also asked Ruby to take out the good wine that was hidden at home and make Julian drink well once. Ruby could not refuse and could only take it out. When Ruby’s father’s legs were good, he only drank a quarter of the wine. Because he really did not want to waste it, he let Ruby take it out when he saw Julian come to the house today. Ruby’s father was in high spirits tonight. Because his leg was injured, he could not drink with Julian. However, he had been enthusiastically urging Julian to drink a few more glasses. Julian was a little ashamed in front of Ruby’s father. He did not dare to refute his words and drank all of them. It was not known whether it was because he was in a good mood or because Julian was not good at drinking. After half a bottle of wine was finished, Julian did not eat much and fell on the table completely drunk. No matter how Ruby shouted, there was no reaction from him.

… There was a medium-sized contract that Cooper Group needed to sign today. The other party was a guest businessman from Hong Kong. Vivian had followed this contract before and had a clear understanding of all the details from the beginning to the end. Inviting the client into the reception room, Vivian gave Julian a call. The call was quickly picked up and it turned out that Julian drank too much last night and had not woken up yet. Vivian could only explain to the other party. But the Hong Kong merchants’ flight was 11 in the morning, so they couldn’t wait. Vivian could only call Julian over and over again to ask. In the end, Julian still did not wake up. Seeing that time was slipping by bit, the other party saw that there was still an hour left, so they decided not to wait any longer.

“Madam President, I’m very sorry. It seems that President Cooper did not take our cooperation to heart. Since that’s the case, then I can only take my leave first. Goodbye!” The other party kept the contract and prepared to leave. “Mr. Chen, Julian had investigated this project for a long time. Now, we are only missing the process of signing the contract. You know my relationship with him. I am the one who will assist Julian in his work. Do you think this will work if I sign this contract?” “You?” The other party frowned slightly and hesitated slightly upon hearing her words. “Yes! I’ll sign it! To be honest, the collaboration with you this time is not something that the Cooper Group must do. But I can see your sincerity. I am Julian’s wife. In fact, his eyes are not good, so I do all his work. If you trust me, I will sign this contract with you. How is it?” The other party pondered for a moment, then looked at her and said, “What if Director Cooper doesn’t admit to this contract?” “The Cooper Group is so big. He won’t lose his reputation just because of this. If you are really worried, when Julian returns to the company, I will tell him all the details and ask him to call you personally. Can

you give me the contract now?” Mr. Chen nodded and looked at Vivian. “Madam, I am relieved to hear that. In fact, if Mr. Cooper does not admit to this contract, I will be in a big trouble. However, I really want to work with your company. Anyway, you know all about the previous project, so I’ll sign it with you.” After saying that, the other party sat down again. He took out the contract and gave Vivian a copy. The contract was finally signed. Soon, Mr. Chen looked at the contract in his hand and looked at Vivian in disbelief once again. “Madam President, this time I will be completely relying on you. If President Cooper doesn’t acknowledge this contract, please call me and tell me.” “Don’t worry. I represent him now.” “Alright! Then thank you, Madam of President. I wish us a happy cooperation.” “Happy cooperation.” When Julian woke up, it was already afternoon. He found out from Ruby that he had been drunk for such a long time. Julian suddenly remembered that there were still things to deal with in the company. He got up from the bed and did not even bother to wash up. He let Ruby help him tidy up his clothes before letting her bring him out of the house. He sat in the car that Lucas had driven in. After saying goodbye to Ruby, he quickly drove towards the company. As soon as the car drove out, Julian took out his phone and called Vivian, asking her if anything big had happened in the company. Vivian casually reported the works to him and told him she would explain it to him in detail after he came to the company. Julian also understood that there were some things that could not be explained clearly over the phone. He then hung up. He didn’t know if the wine he drank yesterday was real or not, but he still felt dizzy at this moment. Julian closed his eyes and slept all the way. When he woke up, the car was already parked in front of the lobby of Cooper Group. Vivian had been waiting at the entrance of the company for a long time. Once the car stopped, she

quickly went forward and opened the door for Julian. She even helped him get out of the car and brought him back to Office of President. Vivian closed the door the moment she walked into the office. She helped Julian to sit down at the boss’s table. Then she gave Julian a detailed report of what had happened this morning. When Julian heard Vivian sign a contract behalf of him, Julian frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Vivian answer first. “Julian, I called you countless times this morning. They were in a hurry to leave. I followed from the beginning to the end of the contract. Although the total cost isn’t a big deal, I think the Cooper Group has developed to this day, it’s because it started with the contracts no matter if it was big or small. We have to take it seriously! Don’t you agree? That’s why I took the initiative to sign this contract for you. If you don’t admit it, then I’m dead for sure!” Vivian said pitifully.
