Billionaire’s Mistress

Edmund’s pov

I was bending over the case and handling the official documents that in the company these days. Oarlan came in from outside and handed me a folder.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“President, the project team has already prepared the tender of the Moon Island. You have a look.”

I looked up, put down my pen, opened the folder, and took a look. “Very good.”

“At the bidding meeting next Tuesday, we will have the right to develop the Moon Island.” Oarlan said with a confident face.

“Inform the design team to hurry up and finalize the design scheme. The development right of the Moon Island has been implemented, and the construction will start immediately.” “是!”

Oarlan agreed.

I bowed my head and continued to bury the case.

After a while, I found that he did not leave, so I raised my eyes again and looked at Oarlan who was standing in front of me,

“President, can I take a day off tomorrow?” He asked carefully.

“What’s the matter?”

After all, Oarlan has been with me for several years. Unless something is particularly important, he rarely asks for leave.

“My mother’s birthday, I want to accompany her and cook for her.” He scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment.

When I heard the words, my eyes and eyebrows suddenly jumped and I was silent.

Oarlan saw this and hurriedly said, “Well, her birthday is every year, and this year is not important at all. Now there are so many things, I’d better work hard first.”

“Go ahead.” I sighed, “It’s a good thing that your mother and son have such a good relationship.”

Oarlan’s pov

I understand what the president is thinking.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a business emperor with only one hand covering the sky. but few people know that such a man who is favored by heaven did not have such a happy childhood.

When Edmund was four years old, his father brought back a woman from outside and wanted to divorce his mother. For a while, the whole King family was stirred up and restless.

Finally, under the strong pressure of the old man, the marriage was not divorced, and the unwilling Wren was ready to elope with lover. Finally, he was killed in a car accident.

Ophelia, who was betrayed by her husband, has changed greatly since then, especially when facing her son who looks like her late husband, she can’t help but want to vent her anger.

So since the president was sensible, he has not received any maternal love from his mother.

The relationship between mother and son is even stranger and estranged.

“President, in fact…” I wanted to comfort him. However, before I could say anything, he raised his hand and stopped me. “I’ll give you more half a day off. go now.”

“Thank you, President.” I thanked him with gratitude, sighed with some emotion, and silently left the office.

Leanna’s pov

In the end, I failed to give up my father.

Half an hour after receiving the phone call, I hurriedly packed up some clothes to change, took all my savings and went out.

In order to save money, I didn’t even want to buy an air ticket. Instead, I went to the railway station. I took more than ten hours to City Y.

Probably because I was thinking about the huge debt of one million, I looked a little absent-minded all the way, so that I didn’t react when I arrived at the station.

By the time I found that I had passed the station and wanted to get off, the train had already arrived at the next small station.

In a hurry, I wanted to take my luggage and get off, but I suddenly found that the bag I had put beside me had disappeared.

How could this happen?

Where’s my bag?

I cried in an instant. It was all my wealth and my father’s life saving money.

A kind-hearted person came to me and asked what had happened when he saw me crying. When he learned that my bag had been taken away, everyone helped me inform the conductor.

After asking me about the situation, the conductor took me off the train and asked me to contact my family or friends to pick me up at the railway station.

But I don’t have any friends in this strange town. Apart from Hannah, who is far beyond the reach of England, my family has only my dad waiting for me to rescue him.

“Can’t anyone pick you up?” The young station administrator felt pity when he saw my red eyes.

I shook my head. Now I am totally lost and penniless. In addition, I am in a strange place. I really don’t know what I should do.

“Don’t you have any friends in City Y? It’s only an hour and a half away from City Y, so we can let you take the train back to City Y for free.” The administrator patiently suggested.

City Y?

Hearing what the conductor said, a name popped up in my mind.

“Yes, yes, but my mobile phone is completely out of power and can’t call.” Although he may not help me, now he is the only person I can ask.

“It doesn’t matter. Take my mobile phone and call. Tell him to pick you up at City Y Railway Station at 3:30 in the morning.” The administrator said and handed me his mobile phone.

I took the phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Oarlan.

Unfortunately, the phone was turned off.

Put down the mobile phone, my hope was dashed.

“Why? Nobody answered?” Managers already have the answer.

Instead of returning the phone to the administrator, I gritted my teeth and dialed another phone.

That is my only and last hope.

If the phone fails again, I may have to go to the rescue station tonight, not to mention saving my father.

About half a second after the phone was dialed, it was connected.

I was so nervous that I almost jumped to my throat.

Did he sleep?

Will you answer this strange phone?

After a long time of waiting, my inner expectation was exhausted little by little. When I became desperate, my phone was connected.

“Who?” The other party’s voice was lazy with a bit of hoarseness, which was obviously awakened.

“Mr. Edmund, it’s me.” When I heard the voice, I was very excited and almost cry.

“Miss Leanna?”

“Mr. Edmund, can you help me? I took the train back to City Y, missed the station accidentally, and my bag was stolen. Now I have no money…” I said while crying.

“Where are you now?” The man’s deep voice interrupted my crying and asked.

“At the railway station of County W, the administrator of the station here said that I could take the 1:30 train to City Y, and you could…”

“Wait there!”

“Huh?” I was stunned for a moment.

“Just stay where you are and wait for me!” He said that and hung up the phone directly.

I returned the phone to the administrator, stopped crying and sniffed, “Thank you, my friend will come to pick me up.”

“You’re welcome. I wish your friend could come to pick you up. Now I’ll take you to the waiting area.” The administrator said.

“He said that I should stay where I am and wait for him.” I hesitated.

The administrator was also stunned when he heard the words, but then he understood. He smiled, “He is that you might have missed the station by accident when you took the train. It’s really not safe for young girls to go out in the middle of the night. ”

Is that why?

it’s not safe for me to ride alone, so he is willing to come here to meet me.

I sat down in the office and waited for Edmund to appear.

An hour and a half later, the administrator’s mobile phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and handed the phone to me. “Is this your friend’s phone?”

I took a look, immediately nodded, took the call, “Mr. Edmund…”

“Here I am, at the door, come out.” His voice sounded tired and his words were extremely concise, as if he didn’t want to say more words.

“I’ll be right there.” I promised to return the phone to the administrator and thanked him again. Under the guidance of the administrator, I came to the exit.

From afar, I saw the tall figure standing under the dark curtain, and the street lamp beside him pulled his cold shadow long, looking extremely lonely and arrogant.

I didn’t dare to let him wait for a long time. I ran to him quickly, breathing a little.

“Mr. Edmund…” After running to him, I stopped to look at him.

“Get on.” He opened his mouth, uttered two words, and turned to the parking lot beside him.

I followed him, like a child who did something wrong, with my head drooping.

When I got to the parking lot, Edmund went straight to the driver’s seat. I hurriedly sat in the front passenger’s seat, and the door was closed. Then I carefully asked, “Did you drive here yourself?”

“Who do you think I should call to drive for me at this point?” He asked, starting the car and driving forward.

I knew I had caused him a lot of trouble, and I was sorry for it. Now I feel more sorry to hear what he said “I’m sorry to trouble you.”

He didn’t answer, just drove silently.

For a while, it was so quiet in the car that he suddenly asked, “Why did you call me?”

My mind stopped for half a second and answered: “I called Oarlan, he turned off the phone.”

His expression was heavy. “Why do you have my phone?”

“Oarlan gave me your information before, and I memorized your phone number on it.” I answered in a low voice, “Mr. Edmund, thank you for coming to pick me up in person at such a late hour….”

“Well, close your eyes and have a rest.”

“I’m not tired. Let me talk with you for a while. It’s easy to doze off after midnight.” I whispered.

It’s a pity that my kindness only resulted in the dislike of the other party.

“I’m afraid of noise.” He uttered, turned on the car stereo, and put a very soothing cello concerto in it.

I closed my mouth and began to close my eyes.

By the time I opened my eyes again, the car had arrived at City Y.

It was already 4:30 in the morning.

There are very few cars on the road, and the whole city is in peace.

“Is it here?” I looked at the tall buildings outside the window and asked.

“Where to?” He asked, his voice was unusually dull, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very tired.

“Huh?” I haven’t regained my consciousness for a while, and I’m a little confused.

“Where do you live?” He asked again.

At this time, I completely recovered and remembered that my bag had been stolen and I had no money to stay in a hotel.

“I… I have nowhere to go.” I opened my mouth in a low voice, my eyes were red, and my nose was sour.

He frowned and his expression suddenly cooled.

I was afraid he wouldn’t believe me, so I quickly said, “I really don’t have a place to go. My money has been stolen, and my mobile phone has run out of power. Some old classmates in City Y haven’t contacted me for many years, and I don’t remember their phone numbers. My father sold my house more than ten years ago…”

If I can think of any way, I dare not trouble him.
