Chapter53
Leanna’s POV
sensed something wrong from the last sentence on Myrna, and her last sentence was even more baffling?
What do you mean by not disturbing you?
Did she know what happened between me and Edmund?
If she knows that Edmund and I used to be together, she should be more careful of me. How could she let him have dinner with me alone and say that he wouldn’t disturb you?
What happened?
“Myrna knows that you used to be my Butler. She thought we would have a lot to talk about when we met.” Edmund said in a calm tone, looking straight ahead, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the central control. He didn’t know if he had read my mind.
I see!
Hearing this explanation, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t want to be treated as a rival in love by Myrna.
Then there was another long silence. Till The Silver Garden, he and I didn’t say a word.
After getting off the car, he didn’t even say goodbye. He turned the car around and drove away under my gaze.
When we got home, Whitney, my mother-in-law, saw the bandage on my hand. She took me to the hospital to see a doctor.
I didn’t stop until I told her again and again that it was just a little bruise and the wound was not deep. It had been sterilized and promised to report to her if there was any discomfort.
At half past four in the afternoon, I got up in the bedroom and saw Eugene’s car parking at the door.
When I went downstairs, I saw his secretary Sheila coming in with several bags in her hands.
When she saw me, she immediately walked up and said, “Mrs., nice to meet you. Mr. Eugene asked me to inform you that at seven o’clock tonight, you should go to a cocktail party of a company’s 40th anniversary celebration with him. This is the dress and jewelry he picked for you. Please have a try first.”
It’s not my first time to receive such a gift. The last surprise was given to me by Edmund.
However, he prepared those dresses and jewelry for me. I didn’t wear them at all and stayed in the villa.
Now I think about it. It really doesn’t belong to me. I don’t even need to try it.
“There are so many things. Please help me bring them upstairs.” I saw six bags in her hands and hurried to help her carry them.
She refused in a hurry, “madam, you are pregnant. I can do these heavy work. Please lead the way and take me to your room.”
I had to give up and walked ahead.
Eugene chose a dark green off the shoulder dress for me. The high waist design set off my tall and slender body. The part of the dress was made of countless layers of gauze, making me feel very fluffy, elegant and layered. The tail of the dress was dragged on the ground, like a fairy coming out of the forest, fresh and refined.
The gemstones were also green. They were crystal clear and without any impurities. In addition, they were perfectly cut. Under the light, they emitted a cold and dazzling light.
“It’s so beautiful.” Sheila praised, “if Mr. Eugene saw it, she wouldn’t be able to take her eyes off me.”
“Well, put on some makeup and then you can go out.” She said after helping me tidy up my hair.
Perhaps Sheila is a person who pursues perfection, so my whole hairstyle is handled by her. In order to pursue perfection, she tried four or five makeup before finally deciding.
A few hours later, I finally finished my makeup before Eugene picked me up at home.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I smiled at Sheila and said, “I didn’t expect your hand to be so coincident.”
With a mysterious look on her face, she put her head close to my face and whispered, “you may not believe it. Back then, Mr. Eugene recruited me to work in the company because of my cooking.”
“What?” I couldn’t believe it.
She smiled, “Madam, I’m just kidding. In fact, I didn’t have a good taste before, but I’ve been working for Mr. Eugene for a long time, I’m constantly improving myself. As you know, we girls always like to dress up. In addition, Mr. Eugene is often surrounded by the ladies from various upper classes and rich families. If I don’t know how to behave myself and go out with him, it will be embarrassing for him.”
“Oh, I see. It seems that you have a hard time,” I said thoughtfully.
“Yes, so my dream is to marry a man who is good-looking, from a rich family and loves me like you. In that case, my hard work at Mr. Eugene will not be in vain.” Sheila said with yearning.
I didn’t expect her to be so straightforward. Although her thoughts are material, they are not annoying.
In fact, in this world, every girl wanted to find a handsome, rich man who was good to her?
It was just that such a man was too rare to be found by only a few people.
I chatted with her for a while. It was not until Petra went upstairs and told us that Eugene was home that Sheila helped me carry the hemline of my dress and the two went downstairs.
“Mr. Eugene, it’s about time. You and madam can leave now.” Sheila looked at her watch and reminded.
Eugene held my hand and asked me to hold his arm and walk out.
In The banquet hall on the seven floor, there was a huge poster of the Thoms group’s 40th anniversary ceremony hanging at the door.
It was already seven o’clock in the evening. The venue was brightly li.
I followed Eugene out of the elevator. A usher led us to the check-in counter.
As soon as I signed my name, I saw Myrna holding Edmund’s arm in the center of the banquet hall. The two were surrounded by a group of people, Cedric, who were exchanging greetings.
When I saw Edmund, my expression froze and the smile on my face froze.
Noticing the change of my expression, Eugene thought I was not feeling well and asked, “what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
“Eugene, why is he here?” I looked straight ahead and asked in a somewhat erratic voice.
He said in a plain tone, “it’s normal. The Thoms group has a lot of business dealings with The King group. Besides, the chairman of the group is the grandfather of Myrna, so no matter what, they will be invited guests.”
“What about us?” I want to know that it doesn’t matter how important my position in the dinner party with Eugene is. If it’s just a dispensable guest, I hope I can leave right away.
“We? Of course we are also distinguished guests. My company has a lot of business with The Thoms group.” Afraid that I might not understand, he continued, “all the people you can see here tonight are the most popular people in City Y. I know you don’t like such an occasion, but I’m sorry to make you feel wronged. Please help me entertain myself today.”
His words were very euphemistic, but I understand that it is impossible for me to leave in advance.
But I can’t refuse his request.
If it weren’t for him, I would have been worried that my baby would become an illegitimate child without a father.
” Long time no see.” Someone came over with a glass of wine. It was The general manager of the Fisher group, Zsolt, who was also the uncle of Myrna.
Eugene smiled politely as soon as he saw her. “Mr. Zsolt, long time no see.”
Zsolt clinked the glass with his and then looked at me. “This beauty is new to me. I haven’t seen her before. Eugene, where did you get this? I don’t want to introduce her to you.”
With a smile on his face, Eugene gently put his arm around my waist and introduced, “Mr. Fisher, this is my wife, Leanna. Leanna, this is The The Fisher group’s Mr. Zsolt.”
“Hello, Mr. Fisher.” I reached out my hand to him.
When Zsolt knew who she was, he shook hands with me and said, “when did you two get married? I didn’t hear anything about it.”
“My wife likes peace, so there is no wedding ceremony. It’s not surprising that you don’t know.” Eugene whispered in my ear, “you must be tired after wearing high heels for a long time. Go to the lounge and sit on the sofa. I’ll come to you after saying goodbye here.”
“Okay.” I nodded. The high-heeled shoes on my feet are new. I have been standing there for a long time, so I really can’t stand it. I looked up at Zsolt and said goodbye. “I’m sorry, Mr. Fisher. Excuse me for a moment.”
“Go ahead.” Zsolt made a gesture of “please”.
Eugene’s POV
After Leanna left, Zsolt said, “you two should have a good fortune in love affairs. How could you marry such a beautiful wife?”
“I’m flattered. My wife will be very happy to hear that.” I said politely.
“It’s not that I’m flattered. I think so from the bottom of my heart. No wonder the two young masters were willing to give up all the positions of The King group, go out to establish a portal, be a boss, enjoy life, and stay with such beautiful families as flowers. I don’t want to bury myself in those endless work all day long.”
“Don’t make fun of me. Speaking of having fun, who can compare with you? As far as I know, my sister-in-law has been learning to manage The Fisher group’s business recently. I’m afraid that she will take over position soon and become The director and President of the Fisher group. At that time, you will probably retire completely.”
The smile on Zsolt’s face froze, replaced by a cold glare. “I’m old. I don’t have any regrets when I reach the age of retirement. ou are really willing to give up the great business by your ancestors at such a young age. I’m afraid even if the two young masters are willing to do so, your father won’t be willing to give up, will he?”
I smiled faintly, “didn’t you praise my wife for her beauty before? I’m very satisfied to have such a beautiful wife. As for father, he has been idle in the company these years, so he is relaxed and comfortable. It’s good.”
“What a pity! I thought you two are ambitious, and wanted to cooperate with you. I think I was wrong.” He shook his head and left with regret.
Looking at his receding figure, the smile on my face gradually turned cold.
“I didn’t expect that there is really a man like you two who doesn’t love business but love women. It’s really admirable.” A strange male voice came from behind.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
I turned around and saw a man in his thirties standing behind me and looking at me.
I was sure that I had never seen this person before, so I looked at him in confusion.
The man at the other end of the line politely nodded at me and said, “Hello, Mr. Eugene. My boss wants to have a private talk with you. May I know if you can move now?”
“Your boss?”
“Yes, my boss said that he knew something about your wife’s private affairs. I believe you will be interested.” When the man said this, he specially looked in the direction of the rest room aside.
I couldn’t guess anything from his expression, but I was sure that he didn’t lie to me, so I asked, “who is your boss?”
“Mr. Eugene, come with me. We’ll know.” Then the man turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.
Seeing this, I hesitated for a while and followed him.
