Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 233

Simon didn’t have the energy to argue with Ruby at that moment. He squeezed his way to sit next to Adam. “Adam, I just ran into Stewart, and he lost a big deal. No, I mean I witnessed him losing a big deal. I think he’s going to blame me for it, so I came back here to hide. With you here, he wouldn’t dare to mess around.”

Adam knew what kind of person Stewart was.

He was also aware of the things Stewart had done.

As long as Stewart didn’t reach out to him, he could turn a blind eye.

Adam pushed up his silver-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said nonchalantly, “To have a business deal during a meal and still lose it, Stewart truly is a talent.”

“Who told him to look down on people, and talk behind their backs about their innate poverty.” Speaking of this, Simon thought of his previous choice of words.

He didn’t mean to be discriminatory, but he just wanted to provoke. “Lumma, and your two friends, I apologize to you. I shouldn’t have belittled your Soothy City dishes. There are so many people in this world. Everyone likes different dishes. No one’s preference is more superior than another’s.”

Ruby asked, “Why did you suddenly change your attitude?”

Simon replied, “Your impression of me won’t change.”

Lumma, worried the two might start arguing again, quickly intervened. “Mr. Mills, you should try our Soothy City dishes. Maybe you’ll fall in love after tasting them.”

Simon responded, “I don’t need to taste, I already know. Your Soothy City dishes are just like Soothy City girls. They are spicy!”

Lumma retorted, “I’ll take that as a compliment from you about our Soothy City girls.”

“That’s a compliment.” Simon raised his glass. “I’ll punish myself with a drink as an apology. You can drink whatever you like.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’ve been both the good guy and the bad guy tonight.” Adam’s plan for the night was to treat Lumma tó dinner. Adam didn’t expect Simon to show up and steal the spotlight, which was rather annoying.

After dinner, Lumma thought Adam would ask her to be his free driver and take him home, but his driver was already waiting downstairs.

Lumma saved a lot of time not having to make an extra trip, and she was very happy. However, she had to maintain her professionalism and saw him off to his car respectfully.

Once he got in the car, she took a few steps back. Adam rolled down the window. “I’m going to be with my wife for the next few days. You can have a holiday.”

“Alright, Mr. Hills! I hope you and your wife have a great time! Wish you a child soon!” The benefit of being a personal assistant to the CEO was that Lumma could have a day off when the boss was with his wife.

What was she happy about?

Was she happy about the holiday?

Or was she happy that Adam was with his wife?

Anyway, no matter what the reason, Adam wasn’t too happy.

Adam rolled up the car window, instructed the driver to drive off.

As she watched him leave, Lumma was so happy that she hopped around in place a few times. She could now focus on the renovations for the next few days.

As soon as she got home, she received a message from Lucas: [Lumma…]

Lucas, this jerk, only called Lumma’s name and then didn’t say anything else.

Lumma had been feeling a bit annoyed with him today, so she decided to pretend she hadn’t seen his messages and deliberately didn’t reply.

First, she took a shower, and after that, she put on a face mask and started drawing on her tablet. She didn’t have to get up early tomorrow, so she could spend a bit more time tonight drawing comics before going to bed.

By now, she had completely forgotten about Lucas’ message.

Just as she was about to start drawing, her work phone rang. Seeing it was Adam, she immediately answered, “Mr. Hills…”
