Love Enveloped In Lies
Episode 157

Compared to that, Michelle wasn’t curious about how this woman had managed to find her. As the old saying goes, “money makes the mare disappear”. Besides, C City wasn’t that big, so it was possible to find a person.

“We’re going to get involved, that’s a fact. Since we are going to live together, I will not allow another person to exist in your mind. Miss Michelle, we are both women. I think you will understand me, don’t you? “

Seeing that she had no reaction, Ashley added.

In her opinion, a woman like Michelle only wanted Scott’s money. So she could pay the money immediately.

“Miss Ashely, what can I do to understand you?”

Ashley discovered that Michelle was an intelligent woman and not difficult to communicate with. She smiled and pulled a document out of her bag. “I have a contract with you. As long as you sign it and promise not to appear in C City again, you’ll get a million. “

A million was a very attractive figure for a man from an ordinary family. But Michelle didn’t care at all. Her love could not be valued for money.

“I appreciate your kindness, Miss Ashely. But will you give me a hand, begging or threatening? Michelle didn’t accept the contract. Once he took her, his dignity would be trampled in an instant.

Ashley had never thought she would say that. He gritted his teeth in anger, but didn’t dare show it. At least it would make Michelle think that she and Scott were a perfect match!

“Miss Ashely, if you have nothing else to do, I’ll begin. There’s still a lot in the business they expect me to do. “

With bag in hand, Michelle turned, ready to leave. Ashley looked at Michelle’s back and clenched her fists.

“If one million isn’t enough, how about two million! I’ll give you ten million! “

She roared in the direction Michelle was going, hoping Michelle might come back. But the next second he heard Michelle’s resolute voice: “Miss Ashely, if you can buy your love with money, then what’s the point of being with him?”

“You …” Ashley had never expected this woman to be so complicated. She seemed to underestimate her.

Once she left the building, Michelle was grateful Ashley hadn’t sent people to stop her. Otherwise, she didn’t know what to do.

Still, she was brave enough for love.

Her heart still pounded with fear at the thought of the scene. After all, even she herself hadn’t expected her to be so calm.

He took a deep breath and tightened his belt. She hailed a taxi and headed for the business.

“Michelle, why are you so late today?”

As soon as he stepped out of the lift, the assistant asked. Michelle looked up and asked, “What time is it?”

“Nine-thirty? That’s not your usual style. What’s happened? “The assistant asked worried when he saw Michelle’s bad face.

Michelle shook her head with a smile and returned to her desk. He was half an hour late. It seemed that the boss had to deduct his salary.

However, before she could do anything, her phone rang. She quickly answered the phone and discovered it was Scott’s.

“Come to my office.”

“Okay.”

His tone was cold, as if he was angry. After hanging up, Michelle approached obsequiously. She stood by the door for a moment before opening it.

Scott was sitting in his chair playing with that expensive pen in his hand.

“President, are you looking for me?” She spoke cautiously.

“Tell me the truth, where have you been? When I picked you up this morning, your mother told me you were leaving very early and hadn’t had breakfast. “Scott looked like an interrogator and there was coldness in his eyes.

Michelle hesitated because she didn’t know how to answer.

“I had a sudden stomach ache in the morning when I got on the bus, so I got off halfway and went to a chemist.” Very quickly, Michelle made up an excuse.

She didn’t want him to know that his fiancée had come to her.

As she spoke, she lowered her head, her eyes shining. Scott frowned slightly, but didn’t continue to ask.

“What do you want for lunch?” He changed the subject.

“Whatever.”

“No, you have a tummy ache, so you can’t eat irritating food. How about we go out for lunch? “Scott hesitated for a moment and then continued.

“Okay, that’s a good idea.” Michelle didn’t know what to say, except for the following.

The word “fiancée” lingered in the back of his mind and he couldn’t shake it. She wanted to ask him directly, but didn’t have the courage to do so.

By the end of the day, Michelle had felt very cold, as if she was suspicious of Scott. This made Scott think that something must have happened.

After work, Michelle ran out with her bag on her back. Scott called her name from behind, but she didn’t answer.

After leaving the company, Michelle feared he would catch up, so she deliberately blocked the taxi.

It took her a whole day to figure it out. After all, Scott had a girlfriend, but what was she? Since she’d decided to commit, she thought it would be best if she kept some distance from him.

Where’s your courage in the morning, Michelle?

Sitting in the car, Michelle felt her whole heart tremble. She was very afraid that he would ask her again.

As she entered the pet shop, Emily complained, “Why are you so late, Michelle?”

“Sorry.” Without further ado, Michelle went into the living room and pulled on a custom-made apron.

“Michelle, why didn’t Scott send you here?” After leaving the room, Michelle took the food from the small animals to feed them. And Emily left the reception area, stood on her tiptoes and looked out the door in an exaggerated manner.

“Oh, he’s busy.” Michelle replied vigorously.

Emily looked at her dubiously. She always felt Michelle was strange today, but couldn’t understand what was strange.

A beautiful figure entered the pet shop and the beautiful dress made the whole shop glow. Emily knew important customers had come!

Michelle was concentrating on feeding the food. He didn’t even notice the woman entering the room.

“Excuse me, miss. Would you like to buy a cat or a dog? “Emily greeted the woman and asked her to sit in the seating area. She enthusiastically presented the young animals to the shop, but the woman sitting opposite her was not at all interested.

“I want all the animals in your shop. Offer a prize. ” As she spoke, the woman took off her sunglasses. A beautiful, handsome face appeared.

Emily couldn’t help but open her eyes wide. She looked at the woman in front of her, but didn’t say anything for a long time.

The voice was familiar.

Michelle couldn’t believe what she had been thinking, but she had to face it. After feeding the animals, he held the rest of the food in his arms and turned to the woman sitting in the rest area.

“Miss Ashely, I didn’t expect you to come here.”

Perhaps this was war between women, and only they could understand the hostility. Seeing Ashley, Michelle felt she had become stronger for no reason. She didn’t want to show her cowardice in front of this woman. At least he had to protect her last dignity.

It was no surprise to her that Ashley had found a pet shop. But she wasn’t the only one who owned the place, and the boss was still Emily.

“Miss Michelle, didn’t you know you own this shop? Wow, this must be fate. Ashley said coldly.

Emily looked at them both and realised something. It turned out that the woman hadn’t come to buy animals, but to cause trouble! “Well, she’s so unlucky to meet me! Emily thought.

She was so mad to have caused trouble instead.

“Miss, if you sincerely want to give this little animal a loving home, I can let her take them away. But you have so many. I don’t think you’re being kind to them. “

Although Emily was an international friend, she knew Chinese courtesy.

“Well, won’t you entertain me if I don’t buy anything?” Raising her head and looking at her with her slender fingers gently caressing her expensive dress, Ashley said defiantly.

“Of course not.” Michelle looked at Emily, hinting that he was making her a cup of coffee.

Of course, Emily had a point. She wouldn’t easily make coffee for other people.

Michelle had no choice but to make coffee for Ashley. However, when he put the coffee on the table in front of Ashley, he showed a look of disgust. “Sorry, I don’t like this cheap coffee.”

Seeing her friend being bullied, Emily simply stood in front of Ashley and reluctantly said, “Miss, if you’re not going to buy anything, I don’t have time to entertain you.

“Who said what? I asked you to make a price, but you didn’t listen to me. Who else could you blame? “

Ashley opened her wallet and pulled out a cheque as she looked at Michelle. Emily was the sole owner of the shop, so she wouldn’t allow anyone to insult her love for these animals.

Being a dignified woman, Michelle didn’t see the number on the cheque.

“Miss, didn’t you see the name of our shop? It seems you are not only blind, you are even mentally blind. “After those words, Emily grabbed Michelle by the arm and led her to the break room. She didn’t want to stay with this woman any longer.
