Untamed Charming Wife

At the luncheon venue, Ethaniel exuded a low-pressure atmosphere. He thoughtfully lowered his eyelashes; that silly girl had been gone for an hour. It took fifteen minutes to get from the venue to the school, a round trip of half an hour. Even if she was delivering lunch to Ollie, she should have been back by now…

Ethaniel didn’t realize that his indifferent attitude was so intimidating that everyone present was afraid to even breathe.

Although they knew Ethaniel was unhappy, there were always those who, tempted by his annual investment of billions, fearlessly approached.

“Hello, Mr. Han!” A slightly overweight middle-aged man holding a glass of red wine walked up to Ethaniel with a friendly demeanor.

Ethaniel’s gaze temporarily left his glass and moved to this unfamiliar man.

This man was no longer young, already showing signs of middle-aged spread, but it was evident that he had been quite handsome in his youth, especially his eyebrows and eyes, which seemed somewhat familiar…

Seeing Ethaniel staring at him, the man immediately raised his glass. “Mr. Han, coming to Seatowne to invest is an honor for our business community. I sincerely toast to Mr. Han, hoping for closer cooperation in the future!”

Ethaniel glanced at him and said indifferently, “If I remember correctly, there is a very important investment meeting this afternoon. Is this how Seatowne’s business community shows their sincerity by attending drunk?”

“…This…” The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly. “Yes, yes, I only drink this one glass, I promise not to get drunk…”

“I never do business with drunks,” Ethaniel stood up. “Linda, take note.”

“Yes, President.” Linda looked at the name tag on the middle-aged man’s breast and tapped a few times on her tablet.

The middle-aged man watched as Ethaniel walked out of the venue, not daring to follow, and had to ask Linda, “Miss Linda, what does Mr. Han mean?”

Holding her tablet, Linda looked at him coldly. “The president has already said he will no longer do business with you. Please withdraw your original cooperation proposal; he will not look at it again.”

“What!” The middle-aged man was stunned and hurriedly explained, “This is a misunderstanding! Our company is very sincere! I have turned down several foreign investors for this cooperation. If Mr. Han doesn’t invest, my company will be in trouble! Miss Linda, please help me!”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Linda gave the man, who was sweating profusely, a cold glance, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes. “Mr. Han never retracts his words. Goldenshore Group will never invest in your company.”

“…” The middle-aged man felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his body swaying, and the glass in his hand fell to the ground with a crash, shattering into pieces.

…

Kayla parked the car at the North District Police Station and got out stealthily, afraid of being discovered.

She hadn’t planned on going to the venue after returning from school. Because of Sam, she particularly disliked rich and unfaithful men and wished to stay as far away from Ethaniel as possible!

Anyway, lunchtime was her own time. With a noble and cold beauty by Ethaniel’s side, he would surely forget about her, which was perfect because she didn’t want to see him either.

Kayla had only walked a few steps when she suddenly felt something was wrong!

A cold gaze fell on her; someone was behind her!

Instinctively, she grabbed the person’s arm behind her and executed a swift shoulder throw. The move was clean and quick, leaving no time for reaction.

With a thud, the person behind her was slammed against the car door by Kayla.

“Ethaniel?” Kayla was dumbfounded when she saw who she had thrown against the car door. “Why is it you?”

Ethaniel hadn’t expected to be thrown by a small woman. If not for his quick reflexes, he would be lying on the ground now.

“… Oh no,” It’s over, she hadn’t even finished paying back the million, and now she had physically assaulted Ethaniel. She had used all her strength in that throw; the car door was probably deformed…

Kayla was on the verge of tears. This was going to be another huge compensation!

Why didn’t she check who it was before acting?

Why was Ethaniel here?

But it was too late; Ethaniel’s face looked even worse than when she had arrested him with handcuffs!

“… Sorry,” Kayla dared not look directly at Ethaniel’s face, lowering her head, but still couldn’t help stealing glances at him from the corner of her eye. “I didn’t mean to hit you; it was instinct, a reflex… Does it hurt?”

Seeing Ethaniel remain silent for a long time, Kayla bit her lip, resigned to whatever might come. “I definitely don’t have the money! Hitting you was my fault, so… what do you want to do about it?”

“Hitting…?” Ethaniel squinted, feeling that these words insulted his manly dignity.

The debt-ridden Kayla immediately backed down. “Not Hitting, just an accident, an accidental injury!”

Ethaniel reluctantly accepted the term. As he stood up straight, Kayla took the opportunity to check the car door. Oh no! It was indeed dented!

This was a police car. Damaging it meant Mick would definitely deduct from her bonus again. Damn, she should have just thrown him to the ground…

Ethaniel rubbed his injured shoulder and noticed that Kayla’s concerned look wasn’t for him but for her battered car!

Alright, fine, he would remember this.

With a stern expression, Ethaniel coldly asked, “Where did you go just now?”

“To deliver food to your son!”

“And after that?”

“…Then I came back. You saw it; I just got out of the car.”

Ethaniel frowned slightly. “Why didn’t you return to the venue?”

“Why should I go back to the venue?” Kayla muttered. “I only need to protect you during working hours. Do I have to follow you twenty-four hours a day? I’m not your secretary…”

Speaking of the secretary, Kayla raised her head confidently. “From now on, I won’t be carrying out your protection detail. If you want a bodyguard, go to the police station and pick someone. Just don’t pick me; anyone else is fine.”
