Pampered Like A Princess

“Come and have a seat. I still have a few documents to sign. Wait for me,” Edward said as he stood up and pulled out a chair for Nelissa.

Nelissa didn’t move.

He stared at her and said deeply, “Do you want me to hug you?”

Nelissa went over and sat down. She glared at Edward forcefully. “Your coat has been washed. Give it back to you.”

“Here.” From top to bottom, Edward could see the white skin under Nelissa’s collar and the light kiss marks on it. He quickly withdrew his gaze and said to her without self-control, “Let’s have dinner together later. You’re too thin.”

As he spoke, Edward’s eyes swept over Nelissa’s well-developed chest. Her waist was so thin.

Nelissa placed her bag in front of her. Edward’s eyes made her blush. “Let’s talk business first.”

“No hurry.” Edward rolled his Adam’s apple and forced himself to concentrate on the documents. He could no longer look at Nelissa, this woman had poisoned him.

Nelissa looked at him. “Can’t you be clear about public relations?”

Edward signed his own name on a document, raised his eyebrows and said, “Well, private affairs first.”

Nelissa lowered her eyes and said after thinking for a while, “You’re not going to make things difficult for me?”

“I won’t make things difficult for you.” Edward’s voice was warm. He was in a good mood.

“I’ve seriously thought about what you said before. I… should have felt something for you.” Edward suddenly raised her head after Nelissa’s words sounded. The pen in her hand fainted on the paper and she was completely unaware of the ink on it. Her slightly trembling pupils were so wild with joy!

“But I can’t forget my feelings for Zayden. My feelings for you are probably just a physiological reaction of a woman to a man. I am just an ordinary woman. I don’t hate to sleep with you, but that’s all. Men can distinguish sex and love clearly. I think women are also okay.”

Nelissa watched the warmth in Edward’s eyes cool down little by little. With a snap, the pen in his hand was broken!

Just like her taut nerves.

Nelissa knew that she was cruel, but she couldn’t let Edward go. She didn’t deserve his love. If everything was clear in the future, she didn’t know whether she betrayed him or he would betray her.

A relationship that was too dangerous could not be touched, and could not be touched.

Edward threw away the pen and his handsome face was as calm as water. “Zayden treated you like that. You can’t forget about him with me right now? Nelissa, are you testing my IQ?”

Nelissa bit her lip and shook her head. She looked at Edward’s cigarette-like brows, confused that even she didn’t know. “When I was 12, Zayden was by my side. My feelings for him were accumulated over the years, just like you and Anna. Can you say that you forgot that Anna wouldn’t go looking for her anymore? You can’t, I can’t. I still have Zayden in my heart. Do you want to be a back-up?”

The word “back-up” was an insult to a proud person like Edward!

“Say it again!” Edward said word by word. His handsome face was as cold as ice and his muscular arms were tightly clenched as if he was suppressing an explosion!

Nelissa didn’t dare to say it again.

“You said that you would not make things difficult for me.” Her heart beat like thunder, and her long black hair was covered with cold sweat.

Edward stared at Nelissa in silence and mystery. A few seconds later, he was extremely angry and powerless. “You win.”

He pulled open the drawer and threw the signed document to the woman. He said coldly, “I have read and signed the document. Go away now!”

Nelissa was guilty and wanted to say sorry to him, but now hearing his terrible words, she took the signed document and left without looking back.

After leaving Edward’s office, his cold and fierce gaze seemed to be still piercing her. His aura was so strong that it made her heart skip a beat.

“Well…” Nelissa didn’t remember the name of the new secretary. She handed the secretary 1, 000 yuan and said, “Please give it back to Young Mr. Hales for me. I’m leaving.”

The secretary held Nelissa’s 1000 yuan and watched Nelissa rush out of the elevator. She wondered what kind of staff would directly interact with the big president who had money.

1, 000 yuan was not a clean amount of money. Were they in an improper relationship?

The secretary took the money and knocked on Edward’s office door, then opened the door and went in.

“Mr. Hales, that lady just said that she was returning the money to you…” Before she could finish her words, the female secretary was scared to shut up by Edward’s fierce and bloodshot eyes!

She trembled as she put down the money. Edward looked at the 1000 yuan that he had given Nelissa last night and said in annoyance, “Hand over your work card, and you’ll no longer be a staff member of Hales Group. You won’t have to come to work!”

“Mr. Hales… What, what did I do wrong?” The female secretary was still in the internship period and could dismiss at any time.

“Get lost!” Edward said in a cold tone. The entire Forum on the big table, including all of Nelissa’s money, was swept onto the floor. His eyes were filled with fury!

The secretary was so scared that she didn’t dare stay any longer. She handed over her work card and escaped from Edward’s office. She finally knew why so many of the female secretaries had been dismissed. Haleston City’s temper was very violent!

Andrew came back to the group with boxes in his hands. Mr. Hales told him to bring the dishes of the private home cuisine restaurant, which were still kept warm. He roughly saw the dishes, which were all women’s favorite dishes. Today Miss Nelissa would come here at noon, and it was probably prepared for her.

After parking the car, Andrew took the lunch box and sat in the elevator. The mobile phone in his suit and pants rang. He took it out and looked at it. He picked up the phone with reverence and fear. “Hello, Chairman.”

It was Edward’s father, Donald.

“Okay, I’ll tell Mr. Hales immediately. Don’t worry. Yes, I’ll see the chairman.” Andrew waited for Donald to hang up the phone, and then he dared to take the phone. The elevator went up to the 35th floor. He took the lunch box and went out, but he did not see the new female secretary.

Andrew was not surprised. Over the years, Mr. Hales changed women’s secretaries as fast as he changed clothes. It was rumored that Mr. Hales had affairs with these women’s secretaries. If they were tired of them, they would change women.

Andrew knew it was not true. These female secretaries were merely vases. The reason why Mr. Hales did so was that he wanted to get rid of a rival in love. He did not have to spend time and energy pestering Mr. Hales.

The moment Andrew opened the office door, he was a little scared. Everything inside was smashed, as if he had vented his anger. He did not see Nelissa!

Edward sat on the leather sofa at the side, pulling the tie on his white shirt with his slender hands. Looking at the 100 pieces of red on the floor, the corners of his eyes were swollen and red.

“Throw it.” Edward pointed to the food box that Andrew brought back and said to him.

Andrew didn’t dare to say more. He threw it away. It was a pity that he had been on the road back and forth for two hours and was brought back in heat. He threw it away without even taking a bite. However, as soon as Andrew came in and saw Nelissa was not there, he knew that the situation had changed, and it was not good!

Perhaps, only Nelissa, this woman, had never been afraid of death. She even kept provoking Mr. Hales. This time it seemed more serious than the last time. She had smashed things!

After throwing all the food boxes away, Andrew called the cleaner to clean up Edward’s office and went in to report to the angry man, “Mr. Hales, the chairman asked you to go back for dinner tonight. Do you want to go back, or do you have work to do?”

“Go.” Edward calmed his emotions. His voice was so hoarse that it didn’t seem like his own.

Andrew understood and immediately went out to cancel all of Edward’s trips tonight.

Soon, the cleaning staff began to clean up in Edward’s office. It was all messed up, but no one asked what had happened. They were all in a mess and dared not to make irresponsible remarks in front of the president.

Edward sat on the sofa and looked at him expressionlessly, like a tall statue of a sculpture. Her aura was oppressive.

The cleaner picked up the 100 yuan bills and put them back in front of Edward. His unfocused eyes suddenly focused and his handsome brows furrowed tightly. He thought of Nelissa and kept thinking of her as if he was crazy!

This woman who said that she had feelings for him but did not want him!

In 30 minutes, the cleaning staff cleaned up the office. It was efficient.

After these people left, Edward opened the metal lighter with a “pa” sound. With his thin lips holding a purple-blue flame, he lit the cigarette butt. Then he picked up ten or a hundred pieces on the table, lit a corner, and threw them on the ground, watching the money burn up under his feet.

He picked up a glass of water with his noble hand and poured it down. The flames extinguished the ashes.

The smoke that filled the air blurred Edward’s face, making it hard to see his expression. His eyes flickered with viciousness and malice!

At night.

Edward changed into a neat suit in the store and then drove back to the villa of the Hans to have dinner on time.

It was a home-cooked meal for rich people. There were 18 dishes, two bowls of soup, desserts and fruits after the meal. It usually took a few hours to eat a meal, like socializing.

In addition to Edward, his niece Penelope was also there. Her father did not come, and he was not in harmony with Norah for many years. He did not want to see anyone unpleasant, and seldom attended family dinners.

Donald was used to not eat or sleep. No one at the European-style dining table spoke. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Edward was on a fish and had tried it three times. He could not taste anything when he chewed it.

Donald looked at him in surprise. “Can’t you eat spicy food?”

Edward replied indifferently, “I don’t think it’s spicy.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“No way, Uncle? Look, my lips are burning red.” Penelope said in disbelief as she sipped on the iced water.

“Really?” Edward was absent-minded, and there was no expression on his handsome face.

“Your taste is not good? Haven’t you been cured for several years?” Donald put down his chopsticks and asked the servants to remove all the spicy dishes on the table. Norah was from Sichuan, so she liked spicy food every meal. If there was no spicy food, she could not eat it.

However, when Donald did so, Norah did not dare to openly complain. Although the father and son seemed to have a bad relationship on the surface, in fact, Donald’s youngest son, Edward, was moved out of his yearning for his wife.

“It’s probably because I’ve been too busy lately and my taste is a little weak,” replied Edward indifferently. He was in a bad mood.
