Chapter 125: Several Billion
Terrence Sterling and Meredith enjoyed hotpot and went to the river to set off fireworks. Today, his time was all for Meredith. The birthday surprise he gave her was simple, yet thoughtful.
As they sat by the river setting off fireworks, Meredith said, “I didn’t expect you to be this romantic. I thought you would give me a luxury car, a bank card, or a big house, like in the movies, worth several billion.”
Terrence Sterling sat behind her, holding her from behind, and whispered in her ear, “Didn’t I give you several billion last night?”
Meredith instantly blushed. She didn’t expect Terrence Sterling to have such a cheeky and humorous side.
Indeed, last night, Terrence Sterling gave her several billion. They had done it several times, worth several billion in total.
“Terrence Sterling, could you be serious?” Meredith said, half crying and half laughing.
However, if Terrence Sterling really gave her those things, she wouldn’t dare accept them. This simple way felt more secure to her. Going to the temple, eating hotpot, and watching fireworks was the most meaningful birthday she had ever had.
Terrence Sterling smiled and didn’t say a word. Meredith asked, “Are you really planning to stay at my place forever?”
“Wherever you live, I’ll live,” Terrence Sterling embraced her, watching the fireworks.
Meredith knew he was waiting for her consent to move back to Thornfield Gardens with him. Just as Meredith was about to speak, Terrence Sterling’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Thornfield Gardens, Terrence Sterling answered, “Mrs. Wooten, what’s the matter?”
“Mr. Sterling, Miss Chaucer is here, causing a scene at the door, insisting on seeing you.”
At these words, Terrence Sterling’s face instantly darkened. “Send her away,” he said, and hung up the phone.
Meredith overheard the conversation, but she didn’t know who Miss Chaucer was. Teasingly, she said, “Your admirer? She followed you home? Pretty direct.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“She’s an insignificant woman,” Terrence Sterling said. “I’ll come back to your place later. Tonight, I’ll give you another several billion.”
Meredith patted his shoulder, laughing. “Terrence Sterling, you’re really fearless.”
Last night, their activities were obviously too intense, and the wound on Terrence Sterling’s back had reopened a bit. Tonight, she couldn’t let him act recklessly again.
“Spring nights are short,” he lightly bit her ear. “Let’s go home?”
Meredith could feel his impatience. At that moment, she finally understood what he had said before, that he was just an ordinary person with desires, and he wanted her. They had it once, then countless times. Before they got tired of each other, they wanted it every day.
That night, Meredith satisfied Terrence Sterling just once, not letting him act recklessly again. Meanwhile, Joy Chaucer was sent away. She went home, threw a temper tantrum, and smashed many things in her room.
When Bianca came home and saw the mess in the room, she was shocked and scared. “Joy, what’s wrong? Tell Mom.”
This time, Joy Chaucer didn’t cry. It was as if she had been seriously hit and had changed. “Mom, I need a job at your company, starting tomorrow.”
Bianca was very surprised. “Joy, what’s gotten into you?”
Joy Chaucer had indeed been influenced. She knew that those people looked down on her and said behind her back that she was worthless except for her money. She had to show those people she wasn’t worthless. She would make Terrence Sterling truly fall for her and make those who looked down on her regret it.
Joy Chaucer said, “I want to learn how to do business, like you.”
Bianca was very happy. “Joy, if you’re willing to learn, I’ll definitely teach you.”
Bianca had always hoped her daughter would go to the company. Now that she had agreed, she was naturally happy. However, she was also worried that Joy Chaucer was just impulsive.
To her surprise, the next morning, after having breakfast, Joy Chaucer wanted to go to the company with her.
Bianca felt like the sun had risen from the west. She didn’t shake Joy Chaucer’s confidence and didn’t say anything. She took Joy Chaucer to the company and arranged for her to be a Marketing Manager.
Every morning, Bianca had meetings, so when they arrived at the company, she let Joy Chaucer familiarize herself with the environment on her own.
Joy Chaucer went directly to where the marketing team was. And Meredith happened to be there, feeling very good that day, wearing the four-leaf clover necklace that Terrence Sterling had given her around her neck. She was working on a marketing plan when a colleague knocked on the table and said, “Meredith, Miss Chaucer is here.”
