My Substitute CEO Bride

Hunter received a photo of a pair of long legs with all the hair removed from the planning department. They had made the legs look fairer and smoother.

Hunter zoomed in on the photo. He even stuck his face close to the screen of his phone with a look of enjoyment. Then, he pursed his lips and made wild kissy faces.

In the living room downstairs, Gaspard’s expression collapsed when he learned that Crow had died.

What annoyed him even more what that Skadi had returned to her family safe and sound.

Geoffrey brewed a cup of coffee for his father and asked, “Dad, what is it?”

Gaspard gritted his teeth and said, “Crow is dead, but Skadi is still fine!”

Hearing that, Geoffrey was surprised. “Is the Green Bamboo Association so unreliable? Crow didn’t expose us, did he?”

Gaspard shook his head. “Crow is a tight-lipped man. He wouldn’t sell us out despite getting the money.”

It was just a pity that his 15 million expenditure had been in vain.

“They must be incredibly audacious to kill Crow, who’s part of the Green Bamboo Association,” Geoffrey said coldly.

Gaspard’s eyes narrowed. “Howard Lane is the man managing the Green Bamboo Association in Jonford. Let’s see what he’ll

do next.

“As for Hunt, settle the dowry as it should be. I don’t believe Herman will dare go back on his promise!”

Nash and Hera were having lunch at the company’s canteen.

They had gone to the Northjon branch together that afternoon. Nash received a call from Stellar the moment he arrived.

“Nash, the warden suddenly lost all feeling in his limbs. Hurry over and take a look at him!”

“At the old place?”

“Yes, we’re still at the Zells’ villa.”

“I’m coming over now.”

After ending the call, Nash looked at Hera, but before he could even say anything, Hera smiled and said, “If there’s something you need to take care of, go. But you have to come back and pick me up after work tonight.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Nash smiled and nodded. “Okay. I’ll come to you as soon as I’m done.”

With that, he drove Hera’s Maserati to the Zells’ residence.

Hera walked into the company, and as she did, she saw Hunter’s car in the parking lot outside the office building.

Her brows furrowed slightly as she immediately felt reluctant to go upstairs. However, considering that she still had a few

emails that she needed to send out as soon as possible, she steeled herself in the end and went in.

In the president’s office, the secretary was serving a cup of coffee to Hunter.

Hunter then turned his phone over to the secretary and said, “Aren’t your president’s legs beautiful?”

The secretary smiled politely. “The president is fair and beautiful. She also has really long legs. Of course, she’s pretty.”

Hera stepped into the office and walked straight toward Hunter.

Seeing that Hera had arrived, a smile broke out on Hunter’s face. He thought Hera had agreed to date him when he recalled her enthusiastic reply from last night.

“Finally, my waiting paid off. Come, Hera. Give me a hug.”

Hunter stood up and opened his arms to greet her.

Hera hurriedly dodged him and scoffed. “Can you stop disgusting me?”

Hunter was taken aback for a moment. When he saw Hera’s secretary still in the office, he let out a relieved smile and waved to her, saying, “Go out first. I have something to discuss with your president.”

The secretary nodded. She then left the office and closed the office door behind her.

“Hera, no one’s here now. Come and give me a hug.” Hunter tried to hug Hera again, but she had a look of disgust on her face. “Go away! How nasty can you get?”

“Hera, you… you showed me your legs last night. Doesn’t that indirectly mean that you’ve accepted my pursuit? Why are you still so cold to me now?”
