Love Enveloped In Lies
Episode 141

To Scott’s surprise, the girl who was born into such a wealthy family nodded her thanks. She didn’t look like a rich young woman at all.

As a result, she was very special.

Thinking about it, Scott gradually relaxed his vigilance over her. He looked at her and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Although Monica was not a beautiful woman, she was sensible and people would remember her immediately. A woman like her could do a better job than a man.

However, a rare talent like her was rare in the world. Rachel had skills, but she wasn’t good at managing a relationship.

Monica was intelligent and experienced. Such a woman could only be respected by men, but it was difficult to find a man she loved. But it seemed he was in no hurry to love.

Scott admired the woman who had her own opinions, but he simply admired her. If he really wanted to marry Monica, maybe he wouldn’t accept it. His father would never agree, because Jared had promised not to interfere in the affair between him and Michelle.

Monica nonchalantly stirred the lemon wedge in the cup with a straw.

“I must apologise for my father’s decision. I’ve told you all about it. I won’t cause you any problems in the future. Monica seemed to suddenly remember him and looked him in the eye.

It was a fundamental respect to look into other people’s eyes while talking to them.

To be honest, Scott was grateful to her. Last time, he’d not only protected Michelle at the banquet, but also rejected the wedding.

“I’d like to take you to dinner if you’re free,” was Scott’s only opportunity to pay him back.

“Don’t bother. You just have to take good care of your girlfriend. I’ll be going abroad soon. “As she spoke, Monica had risen from her chair. She was about to leave with her bag.

She found herself unsuited to this place. On the contrary, she loved living abroad. Although she had few friends abroad, she didn’t feel alone in the villa every day.

Monica had a branded shop abroad and depending on the weather she would have to go and run it.

Scott sent her instead of asking her to stay.

“This is my business card. Give it to Michelle. And I honestly want to befriend her. “They stopped a taxi at the side of the road. When Monica opened the door and was about to get in, she suddenly remembered something. She took her business card out of her bag and handed it to Scott.

After saying that, she looked at Scott, got in the car and left this place. Standing on the side of the road, Scott watched the taxi until it was out of sight. Then he turned and walked towards the hospital.

He opened the door and saw Olivia sitting on the edge of the bed while Michelle ate.

When she saw Scott, Olivia immediately stood up. She turned, took a can of heat preservative from the bedside table and handed it to Scott. “Scott, this is prepared by Auntie. Eat it. “

“Auntie, you don’t really have to bother like this. We can order takeaway, “Feeling a little embarrassed, Scott took the heat preservation box and told Olivia.

It actually took a lot of time and energy to prepare a meal. Plus carrying two boxes of stuff on the bus was exhausting for her. She’s so old and weak now. She should pay more attention to her health.

“I know. I won’t do it next time,” Olivia agreed with a smile

In order not to let them worry about her, he had to promise them. But it was up to him to do it or not and send her off.

Of course, he didn’t want to disrupt the young people’s lives. But it was his daughter who had to stay in hospital. Like her mother, she would certainly meet her daughter.

After dinner, Michelle and Scott went for a walk and Olivia rested in the living room.

Hand in hand, the two strolled through the hospital garden. Michelle looked up, staring into the dark sky. She lost her mind when she saw it.

Scott looked at her with a smile and kissed her on the lips. Flushed, she lowered her head.

The so-called marriage ended with Monica helping him solve a difficult problem he’d been worrying about for a long time. Scott felt very relaxed.

Uncle Mike, on the other hand, would do everything he could to get Michelle in trouble if Monica agreed to the engagement.

“By the way, Monica asked me to give you this. She said she wanted to befriend you. “Scott suddenly pulled the business card out of his pocket and handed it to Michelle. He didn’t want her to see any misunderstanding between them, then explained again.

If that’s the case, it will only cause unnecessary problems.

Without hesitation, Michelle took the card and looked at it. The card clearly showed Monica’s phone number, WeChat ID and the name of her shop abroad.

It turned out that Monica was the head of the “Coming Fragrance” brand.

It was a skincare shop, where all the products were made from purely natural plants without any additives. The only difference was that the products sold in this branded boutique were very expensive.

Michelle never expected to meet the owner of this brand. The most surprising thing was that the owner was a very young and beautiful woman.

Three days later.

After sitting at the office all morning, Michelle was feeling a little thirsty. He carried the cup of tea to the lift and was about to make a cup of milk tea in the tea room.

When he reached the door to the tea room, he suddenly stopped.

“Are you back?”

“I’ve just got back today.”

“You really are back on time.”

In the tea room, two professionally dressed women stood holding cups of tea and chatting amongst themselves.

“What can we do? She’s the president’s wife. “Another woman sighed.

“Well, what’s so special about that? Our president will leave her sooner or later. Once the boss has had enough, he’ll treat her like rubbish and throw her in the dirty, smelly bin. I’m afraid he’ll never become famous. “

“Do you think it’s as simple as you think?” A female voice came from the other side, drawing the attention of the woman who had first spoken. Wide-eyed, he lowered his head and whispered, “Do you know an inside story? Tell me.”

Another woman took an unhurried sip of her coffee. Then he looked at the woman and said, “I heard our CEO took her to a party at the Howard Group and announced her relationship in front of the others. There was no doubt they were getting married. What’s more, while he was in hospital, Mr Scott would leave his office in a hurry. Then he bought food and sent them to the hospital. “

As she spoke of this, the other woman’s eyes widened, then she grabbed the woman’s clothes and asked excitedly, “Do you think that if a man and a woman are left alone in a room, they …”

Before she had finished her words, they heard footsteps coming from a distance. They suddenly stopped talking and turned to leave. As they passed, they looked at Michelle with disdain.

Michelle had heard what they had just said, but she didn’t want to make things worse, so she did her best to control herself. She had thought she could live a carefree life while backing down, but these two women became more aggressive as they watched her keep her mouth shut.

“Well, as women, how can some women be so lucky?”

“Another woman graduated from a prestigious university. If we can make hidden rules, will we be the manager’s secretary or something? “

“What are you talking about? I’m not that kind of person. “

They turned to look at Michelle when they had finished their words. Although they obviously hadn’t turned their heads, Michelle still saw them. Her silence soothed the tea room.

Michelle took the cup of fresh water and left the tea room.

“Nobody wants that bitch!”

An inaudible voice came from the tea room and reached Michelle’s ears.

“Nobody wants that bitch!”

Hands shaking, water dripped from the cup and soaked into Michelle’s white clothes. When Michelle lifted her hand a little, she ignored the stain on her clothes and turned towards the tea room.

“Look, Mr Scott doesn’t have a wife or a girlfriend. And I don’t have a husband or a boyfriend. sir. Scott likes me and I like him. It’s normal for us to be a couple. At the company, he’s my boss. We’re just normal colleagues. However, you misunderstood because of the overlapping relationship. I understand. “

“And what?” Both women answered at the same time.

They had never expected Michelle to answer in such a serious manner.

“By the way, I heard that one of our colleagues went to a bar with the deputy managing director of our company for a drink there. That’s the difference between secretaries and assistants. “

“You …”

Michelle smiled at them, turned and left the tea room.

“How did she know that?”

“How did I know?” “Well, anyway, I’m going to get even with her. Let’s wait and see, Michelle: “The woman looked angrily in the direction Michelle was going, holding the teacup firmly in her hand.

Entering the lift, Michelle leaned helplessly against the cold wall and looked up at the lift ceiling. At the time, she wasn’t satisfied with her victory. Instead, she felt a little regret.
