The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Chapter 135: Keeping Your Distance



“Who’s Larissa?” Edward was slightly flabbergasted, and it took him a while to remember such a person: “Yes, it just so happens that the role in the next film is very suitable for her, are you interested in playing another one.”

“No.” Lindsey declined sharply, followed by making a face at him, and ran upstairs in a flash.

Edward smiled helplessly and followed him upstairs.

When Lindsey finished talking with Professor Lee, it was almost noon, and when she left, she met Edward coming down the stairs, so she invited him to join her for lunch.

Edward asked casually, “Where do you want to go?”

Lindsey giggled and calmly spat out two words: “The cafeteria!”

Edward imagined the eyes of the students in the cafeteria, looking at him like gossip. His face immediately showed a look of being struck by lightning, and he looked at Lindsey incredulously: “No way?”

The only thing that answered him was Lindsey’s laughter, which was both distant and close.

Edward’s face looked a little bit better when he lifted his feet to chase after her and saw that she was not going in the direction of the cafeteria. When he got into the car, he habitually asked, “What do you want to eat today.”

“Let me think.” Lindsey reclined on the back of the seat and swiped her phone for a while.

Edward’s lips held a smile that was not easily perceptible, gently gazing at the side of her face. At first, he thought Lindsey was very scheming, but through this period of contact, he realized how wrong he was.

Lindsey is very smart, whether it is to people or things, she always has her own way of dealing with it comfortably. Of course, for those who don’t like it, she can piss people off in a minute.

A short while later, Lindsey put away her phone and said lazily, “Once you’ve chosen, let’s go eat noodles, I haven’t eaten in a long time.”

“Okay.” Edward subconsciously reached over, did not expect Lindsey’s reaction is faster, only to hear a “pop”, his hand was instantly slapped away.

“I saw your hair was messy, so …” Edward tried to put on a calm face and explained in a serious manner, “I definitely didn’t mean to take advantage of you.”

Lindsey slanted an eye wind over, such as the yellow warbler out of the valley like voice, softly sounded: “You remember just good, to my hands and feet of the next not very good.”

Edward retracted his hand, his deep eyes flashed, and leaned back lazily: “You just said you wanted Wind Entertainment to sign Larissa, and I’m fine with that, but you have to agree to one condition.”

Lindsey didn’t even raise her eyelids, and her voice was hard as she choked him: “Sign it or not, I’m not too familiar with her either.”

“Fine.” Edward was defeated once again, and his face was covered in a spring-like smile: “I agree to sign her, but I just have one request, and I hope you can agree.”

Lindsey turned her head sideways, the corners of her lips curved up in a nice curve, quietly waiting for his next words.

Edward was lost in thought for a moment, but he adjusted in time. Clearing his throat, he smiled and said, “There is a reception tonight, can you be my female companion for once.”

Lindsey was much more cheerful than his cautious attitude: “No problem, I have an appointment with your Professor Lee, and I’ll start helping out tomorrow.”

“…” Edward didn’t expect her to agree so easily, and was overjoyed for a moment.

I thought it was just a simple bowl of noodles, but Edward’s whereabouts are now the focus of all kinds of entertainers.

Before the bowl of noodles was finished, the reporters who had heard the wind almost blocked the door of the store. Dozens of reporters, each occupying a powerful terrain, were holding their cameras and pointing their lenses at Edward to take 360° shots.

Lindsey was not spared, so she had to pretend to be his assistant and quietly left with his briefcase.

When the reporters reacted, she had already returned to the car. Those who wanted to approach, seeing Hector’s cold and frosty face, had retreated.

Lindsey saw Edward’s mess through the car window, and was angry and amused.

However, to Hector but unexpectedly produced a trace of good feeling, martial arts can fight hooligans, literature can pretend to be the god of the door, simply home travel to kill the necessary.

It was easy to escape from the siege of the entertainment press, Edward lamented a lot, originally planned to take Lindsey to pick a dress, also had to stop.

“I can’t go shopping, why don’t I give you a tour of my office?” Edward rubbed his brow and looked at the interview car following him with a headache: “These people all have dog noses, they can’t hide anywhere.”

“Fine.” Lindsey didn’t think much about it and easily agreed to his proposal.

However, when she got to the place, she immediately regretted it. Chu’s headquarters building is actually next to Gu’s, the height of the floors are similar.

Although she hadn’t been to Charlotte’s office much, the receptionist in the lobby knew her. The thought of tomorrow’s headlines, possibly involving Bruce, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

When she got out of the car, Lindsey remembered the briefcase in her hand, raised it up to cover her face, and rushed in like a thief.

Edward looked at the back and laughed, but when he realized that Lindsey’s move was to keep Bruce out of trouble, his heart sank.

After entering the lobby, all the entertainers who followed him were basically blocked by the security guards at the door.

Lindsey put down her briefcase, let out a long breath, and entered the elevator lobby with quick steps.

Edward took his card and swiped open the special elevator, inclined his head to look at her, and couldn’t help but remind her, “When the movie is finished in post, this could happen every day.”

“No …” Lindsey wailed, her watery bright eyes flooded with a hint of anger, puffing out her cheeks and glaring at him, “It’s all your fault.”

The cute look made Edward laugh, and the delightful laughter drew a lot of sideways glances from the security guards.

Lindsey quickly escaped into the elevator, and when he came in, he gave him a kick without hesitation.

Edward was prepared, although avoiding the frontal attack, but still received a blow to the head. He did not feel the pain, but laughed again.

Lindsey eyes and nose, hands on the chest back to the innermost, hesitant to directly knock him out.

The elevator soon reached the top floor, Lindsey followed him out like a curious baby, turning her head to look around.

Edward saw this scene through the glass partition wall and could not help but bend his eyebrows again.

When he came to his office, Edward asked his assistant to pour a cup of tea, and then opened the door on one side of the room and posed a very gentlemanly pose: “This is the recreation room, you can play by yourself for a while.”

“Okay.” Lindsey casually threw his briefcase to him and swaggered in with his hands behind his back.

The recreation room is true to its name. There was not only a bar, but also billiards, indoor golf, indoor tennis, and even a sandbag for boxing.

“Gee, what a loser.” Lindsey muttered, went around to the billiards, and curiously picked up the cue and played with it.

When she was young, she watched her brothers play, she was not good enough, even Adem could easily beat her. The thought of Bruce’s face suddenly flashed in her mind, and her emotions sank.

After a few moments, Lindsey brushed off her unwarranted sadness and absentmindedly took her club and aimed around.

After fiddling around for a while, her assistant brought in tea and politely asked if there was anything else she needed.

Lindsey waved her hand, saying she didn’t need his help, and wandered over to the tennis court to pick up her racket. She looked at the number and hesitated for a moment before sliding the answer button.

On the other end, Bruce didn’t wait for her to say anything, he said, “Grandpa wants to see you.”

“Uh …” Lindsey deliberated and politely declined, “I’m very busy right now, maybe some other time.”

Bruce paused and reluctantly agreed: “Just tomorrow, I’ll ask Cary to pick you up.”

As soon as Lindsey heard that, she immediately added, “I agree if it’s to meet him at Nine Lakes Mountain, but if it’s to the Royal Garden, it’s exempt.”

“No matter where you’re going, you’ll have to come.” Bruce’s tone was unmistakable, “Uncle Big wants to see you too.”

Lindsey disliked Aidan immensely, whether it was the first time she met him or if her impressions changed later.

In her opinion, Aidan always had a cold expression, carrying the majestic air of a superior person, clearly rejecting people.

Likewise, her impression of Laura is not good either.

If Aidan is the nature of the nature, then Laura is really wearing a mask. At all times, you can’t see her true emotions.

After a long silence, Lindsey again refused: “I’m just a small, insignificant person, and I don’t want to see whoever it is.”

“Grandpa will be very upset.” Bruce didn’t expect her to talk back, and for a moment it was hard to accept: “You know in your heart how grandpa treats you.”

“It’s because I know in my heart that I refuse.” Lindsey’s voice gradually went cold: “Even if you don’t think about me, you should mention that your uncle should think about whether to apologize or not after meeting me in his capacity.”

Bruce knitted his sword brows, pursed his thin lips and looked vacantly out the window.

She was right, even if Uncle met Lindsey at the request of Grandpa, so what, he could not put down his identity to apologize.

This time, Lindsey did not give him much chance to think, and said at once: “This matter is put to rest for the time being, I understand your good intentions, but I can not let you, let grandfather along with the difficult.”

After saying that, she let out a soft breath, said a polite goodbye and hung up.

When she was invited to the Security Division for interrogation, it was Aidan who gave the order, and with his current status, something like an in-person apology would not only challenge tolerance, but perhaps lead to a deeper misunderstanding.

Lindsey didn’t want to be the bad guy who was bullying, nor did she want to be the executioner who broke their bond.

After putting away her phone, she saw that it was still early and Edward was still busy, so she went back to the pool table and picked up the cue to tee off in style.

After hitting the ball several times, none of the balls went into the hole, so she was so discouraged that she didn’t notice Edward coming in.

“I can teach you if you want to learn.” Edward, with a booklet in his hand, walked up to her with a smile, picked up the white ball in his hand, and threw it gently.

“The 9 ball near the hole rolled a few times and went straight into the hole.

“Huh …” Lindsey exclaimed, smiling and praising, “I can’t believe it, good level.”NôvelDrama.Org content.

Edward threw her a smug look, spread the booklet out onto the ball table, pointed to a set of dresses on it, and asked with a smile, “How about this style and color, take a look.”

“Is it for the evening reception?” Lindsey leaned over, took a closer look at the style, and shook her head outright: “It’s too revealing, change it to something more conservative.”
