"Barbara Jones, this is my bank card. The password is 131224. You can buy whatever you need in the house, it's up to you."
It had been hours, and Barbara still remembered what her newlywed husband said when he handed her a bank card before going out in the morning.
To be honest, she knew very little about her husband. She knew nothing about him except that he personally told her his name was Leo Young. She didn't even know much about his family.
Barbara didn't know why she was so courageous to marry a man she had only met twice before. Ten days ago, with the help of her best friend Freda Lawrence, Barbara met this man called Leo after several blind dates. She didn't have any hopes. After all, after being framed three years ago, she didn't have the qualification to be picky.
She could only be picked by others. It was precisely because she could no longer find any fault with others that she arrived fifteen minutes early on the blind date.
If she couldn't gain an advantage on her own conditions, she could only perform better in other aspects; hoping to leave a good impression on each other. If she could meet the right man, she could marry herself off and reassure her parents.The man she was going to meet came neither too early nor too late.
The man was dressed in a suit, and he looked very formal. It made others feel that he attached great importance to this blind date, making Barbara feel that he was very nice.
The way he greeted was also very normal, "Miss Barbara, hello! I am Leo."
As his voice sounded extremely magnetic, it made Barbara have a better impression of him.
After a simple and ordinary conversation, they politely left their phone numbers before leaving.
With many blind dates, Barbara did not take this blind date seriously.She thought that this blind date would end up the same as before, but unexpectedly, she received a call from Leo two days later.
His voice sounded still polite and respectful, "Miss Barbara, are you free tonight?"
That night, Leo invited her to Margot for dinner. Barbara didn't really like such an awkward situation like a blind date, so she spoke very little during the banquet. She looked a little squeamish after the meal, and she didn't eat enough.
She originally wanted to find an excuse to leave first. After some hesitation, Leo spoke up first, "Miss Barbara, I will be free next Wednesday, so how about going to get the marriage certificate?"
"What? What kind of certificate?" Barbara was shocked by Leo's words.
"The marriage certificate." He repeated seriously, which didn't sound like a joke at all.
"The marriage certificate?" Barbara still could not believe what she had heard. She pinched her leg so hard, confirming that she was not dreaming. Only then did she seriously looked him up and down.
Leo looked so handsome that he could be recognized in the crowd. He looked very serious and didn't look like an impulsive person. It was the second time they met, and he had said that he wanted to marry her.
Then, the man said softly, "I think your thoughts are the same as mine. The purpose of dating is to form a family, marry and have children, and live a normal life."
"That's right, I think so, but it's only the second time we've met, don't you think that's too fast?" Barbara told him her own thoughts.
She wanted to have a family of her own, but she didn't expect him to be so hasty. "It is indeed rather fast." Leo still looked calm as he continued, "After our first meeting, I considered for two days. You made a good impression on me. I personally feel that there is no conflict between our personality, so I wanted to give it a try. "
Barbara slightly frowned, and was a little displeased, "Marriage is not a game in my opinion. Try it? "If it doesn't go well, do you want to …" Before she finished, Leo interrupted her, "Miss Barbara, we are all adults. Naturally, we won't expect a love that doesn't exist. We know exactly what we want."
Barbara did not reply, she stared straight at Leo.He looked calm and unassuming, as if he was a good match for marriage.
However, could she really give the rest of her life to a man who she had only met twice?Was it really possible?
Noticing her hesitation, Leo continued, "Perhaps I was too anxious, and did not consider your feelings. If you think that I am still okay, you can go back and think about it. I'll wait for your call."
After returning home that day, Barbara had been thinking about it the entire night.She admitted that she shared some views with Leo, such as the impossible love.
After being so deeply hurt, she could no longer believe that there was love in the world.
The next morning, Barbara dialed Leo's number and agreed to his proposal.Barbara took the household book in the morning, and they went to the Marriage Registration Office to register in the afternoon.
When she and Leo walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with their marriage certificates, she felt weird.It was said that marriage was woman's second life, and now it seemed that it was not as simple as it seemed.
The cheap certificate had carved a special imprint that belonged to Leo, in her life.Yesterday was the day Barbara moved to Leo's apartment.Last night, Leo was very gentle.
He took the initiative to leave the master bedroom for her to rest, while he rested in the other bedroom.Barbara never thought that Leo would actually give his bank card to her before he left for work today.
She still didn't understand him. How could he be so confident to hand over all his possessions to her?"Barbara, all the reporters from the major media are waiting inside. Staffs from the board of directors and the new president will be here soon.
What are you doing? "Rita, the manager of the Public Relations Department, interrupted Barbara.
She quickly recovered herself and straightened up her attitude, "Rita, I'm sorry, I will pay attention."Rita looked at Barbara, and said sternly, "Barbara, although you are the staff of the Business department, since your manager has sent you here to assist our Public Relations Department, you better stay alert and don't drag me down.
"Barbara pursed her lips and nodded, "Rita, I was distracted just now, it won't happen again." Rita looked at Barbara again before she looked away.
She then clapped her hands and called the staffs who were in charge of receiving the guests to come over."Everyone, keep your spirits up.
Today's press conference must be wonderful. We can't afford even the slightest mistake." As Rita spoke, she looked at every single staff seriously.
Chapter 2 Preview
"Yes." staffs of Public Relations Department, who were in charge of receiving the guests and colleagues, who were sent to support replied in unison.
Rita noticed Barbara in the end, "Barbara, I heard that you are the best employee in your profession. In a while, you will follow beside New CEO and take charge of his work.
You don't have to worry about other matters. " Barbara nodded, but before she replied, Sally, the employee of Public Relations Department, gloated at her,
"Barbara, if our New CEO is not married yet, will you get him first?"To put it bluntly, if there was a chance to get close to the new president, why was it her turn when no one went.
Rita glared at Sally, "Today, it might be related to our future, you guys have better be more serious."After being scolded by Rita, no one made a sound.
Barbara took a deep breath quietly, trying to do her best at work.
No wonder Rita was nervous, since this matter happened so suddenly.
Just when everyone thought that the company was at peace, the board of directors suddenly released a message that the Chief Executive Officer was going to be taken over by a new person.
However, the incoming big boss was extremely mysterious. The people in charge of each department had tried to ask about him through various channels, but they hadn't found any information about him.
Barbara was not a person who liked to participate in the fun, so she could not help but look at the entrance, wanting to see who this big boss was.
"He's here, he's here! All the directors and the new CEO are here!" The receptionist told all the staffs through walkie—talkies.
The colleagues couldn't help but straighten their clothes and respectfully stood at their posts.
Barbara followed closely behind Rita, welcoming the mysterious big boss that everyone was waiting for.After taking a few steps, she saw a man wearing a silver—gray suit. He was escorted by a few men in black suits. The man walked towards the release hall gently.
Barbara was stunned.The tall man who walked right in front of the crowd and wore a silver grey suit was clearly her newly wedded husband, Leo!"Impossible!" Barbara could not believe it.
She immediately closed her eyes and shook her head to wake herself up.
But when she opened her eyes and looked again, that man was still him.
If it were someone else, she might have been mistaken, but this man was her newly wedded husband, so she couldn't be mistaken.
He looked so perfect. He was tall and strong. He walked graciously.No matter in what way, the man was exactly the same as her newly wedded husband."Le...Leo?" Barbara glared at the man and subconsciously called out his name.
He seemed to hear her voice, and the man lightly looked at her.Barbara was so nervous when she looked at him.
She would never have thought that her newly wedded husband would turn into her company's new CEO.She looked at him, and her mind was in a mess.
He looked at her for a moment before looking away. He looked so cold that it seemed as if he didn't know her at all.He looked so indifferent, and Barbara quickly felt sullen.
He was Leo and her newly wedded husband. Why was he looking at her coldly?In just a short moment, Barbara thought a lot.
She thought it was a dream, an unrealistic dream.Leo was always gentle and refined, and he looked very polite.
He would never pretend not to know her.She quickly pinched herself. She then realized that this was not a dream, but what she had just experienced.
Since this wasn't a dream, then there was another possibility. It was that this man only looked the same as Leo, but was actually completely different from him.
Rita forcefully pulled Barbara and scolded her in a low voice, "Barbara, what kind of occasion is this, what are you doing?" Barbara slightly came to her senses.
Rita scolded her in a low voice, "Hurry up and catch up."Barbara nodded and quickly followed the new CEO.
At the same time, she had already hid her emotions, and then she leisurely faced this big boss, who looked like her newly wedded husband.
Rita quickened her pace and caught up with them, opening the door of the reporter reception hall for them, "Welcome our new director.
"Just after Rita said loudly, there was enthusiastic applause in the huge conference hall. Everyone stared at the entrance, waiting for the mysterious big boss to show up.
Barbara quietly took a deep breath and followed closely behind the big boss.
When the big boss sat down, she neatly handed over the information she had prepared.
Even if she had professional accomplishment, but the fact that the company's new boss was her newly wedded husband still had too much impact on her.
She accidentally trembled and two materials in her hand fell off.Just as Barbara was about to squat down and pick up the falling folder, Leo bent down to pick it up before she could, and then he whispered, "Wait for me at home tonight.
"If Leo did not say this, Barbara could still forcefully take him as someone who looked the same as her husband.
Upon saying that, Barbara dumbfoundedly forgot what to do.Fortunately, all of the reporters' attentions were not on her, giving her some time to calm down.
Reporters did not notice her. But these sharp—eyed employees of the Public Relations Department did not miss it.
The Public Relations Department was well—prepared, and all the departments coordinated well. Leo had enough prestige to intimidate the audience, so the newly appointed press conference this time would be very successful.
Just as the new CEO and the rest left, Sally squeezed over, "Barbara, you accidentally dropped the document just now, and have successfully attracted our new CEO's attention.
"Barbara frowned and said to Rita, "Rita, things of Public Relations Department has been finished, I will return to Business Department first.
"Sally looked at Barbara angrily, she ignored me, and she actually ignored me. Why is she so arrogant?"Rita glared at Sally, "Don't stir up trouble every day.
If you continue to mess around, you will be the next one to leave. If you have the ability, do your job well. As long as you senior to her, you are qualified to be awe—inspiring."Sally saw Barbara leaving, gritting her teeth angrily, "Cousin, I know."

When Barbara returned to the office of Business Department, she heard her colleagues in the same department discussing about the new CEO.
Everyone discussed as if they understood this new CEO very well.
When her colleague Emily saw Barbara, she hurriedly came over, "Barbara, you're lucky to be able to stand by CEO's side and work as soon as possible.
"Barbara smiled lightly, "It's all work, I don't care where I stay.
If you think it's good to work around the president, let the manager send you there if something like this happens in the future.
" Emily quickly waved, "Although our new CEO is handsome and enchanting, but we dare not to come close to him.
""New CEO will come over later for a routine inspection. Return to your positions and work hard." Business Department Manager, Amy, walked into the office and instructed the staffs.
The new CEO would be here to patrol!Hearing this news, Barbara felt very nervous.She still needed some time to admit the fact that her newly wedded husband, Leo, was still the new CEO of the company.
She wouldn't be ready to face him in a short while.The other colleagues had all returned to their seats, but only Barbara was still standing there, stunned.
Amy looked at Barbara, "Barbara, what else do you want?""I'm fine." Barbara came back to reality and secretly clenched her fists, she immediately went back to her computer to check her customer information.
After a while, the elevator rang and Leo once again appeared in front of Barbara under the escort of a group of people.
But thankfully, Leo had only greeted the department staffs, and after hearing Amy's simple report, he led the group of people away.
After Leo left, the Business department staffs became rowdy again. Even Amy who was always sedate could not help gossiping with everyone.
Everyone was talking about whether this extremely handsome Chief Executive Officer was unmarried or married.
Barbara listened to their discussion and did not say a word. If they found out that her name was written on his marriage certificate, would she be killed by these women?The day finally passed in a tense and uneasy condition.
She wasn't ready to leave until her colleagues got off work.When the day's work was over, how should she face Leo at night?Barbara really did not know, and did not even know whether or not she should return to their home.
After leaving the company, Barbara habitually turned right at the entrance B of the subway technology park. After walking for a while, she remembered that she was living with her newly wedded husband.
Leo's apartment wasn't far from the technology park. It was only three bus stops away, and it was about half an hour's walk. Barbara looked at the time.
It was only five o'clock now, and she had not decided how to face Leo in any case.
She decided to walk home, as she could think about them.Returning back to the housing estate below, Barbara decided to buy some vegetables and meat from the fresh supermarket located at the side.
Whatever, the most important thing was to eat.She didn't know what Leo liked to eat, but she took out her phone to ask him.
But she was worried that he couldn't pick up the phone expediently, she placed her phone back.After choosing the ingredients, she carried them and went home.
She still kept quite a distance away from the elevator when Barbara saw a strange but familiar man. He stood straight towards the elevator, wearing a light gray suit.
He looked extremely charming.Leo stood perfectly straight. He was tall and looked perfect.Barbara still couldn't understand.
Such an outstanding man, and even the CEO of a large company, how could they meet each other?"You're back." Barbara walked over and greeted him in the most normal way possible."Yes." Leo turned to look at her, but she looked calm.
Barbara smiled lightly, and stood firmly by his side.She only glanced at him once and felt that this man seemed to be different today. She couldn't recall exactly where he was different. She glanced at him.
It turned out that he wore a pair of gold—framed glasses today. He looked much more stable and reserved.Barbara sighed silently.
This man only spoke a few more words during their second meeting. He usually said very little. She wanted to take the initiative and get closer to him, but she didn't know how to do it.
Now that she knew of his shocking identity, Barbara didn't know how she should approach him.Just as she was thinking, Leo suddenly reached out towards her.
Barbara instinctively took a small step back, keeping a distance from him."Leave it to me." He said lightly and took the bag in her hand optionally.
Barbara blushed. He had only wanted to help her carry the bag, but she was delusional.
As Leo carried the bag powerfully, she felt warm. Barbara was optimistic. Even if there was no love between them, even if he was the big boss of the company, but as long as they managed this marriage attentively, they would still live a happy life.
They entered the elevator, and neither of them spoke. Returning home, Leo placed the items into the kitchen and said indifferently, "I don't really know how to cook, I'll be troubling you tonight."
"Go ahead. Just leave it to me." Barbara put away the bag, took off her jacket and put it on.
"Thank you!" He said lightly.
"You're too polite." Barbara smiled awkwardly. They were already husband and wife, but they got along like two strangers. She took it for granted that wife should cook for her husband, but he talked to her in this manner, which virtually made them became strange.
Barbara thought that even if it was a marriage without love, they shouldn't get along in such a strange way.
Without another word, she turned and entered the kitchen. She neatly steamed rice, cooked and washed the vegetables…
After a while, Barbara saw him standing at the entrance of the kitchen, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"If there's anything you need my help, just let me know." Leo stood there, straight and upright. He looked calm, but he looked a little embarrassed.
"Just wait a little longer, I'll be ready soon." Barbara looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 7:30 in the evening, so he was probably hungry.
She thought that she had to come straight back from work tomorrow. She would finish the meal early, and when he returned home, he would eat the food she cook.
No matter who Leo was, this marriage was chosen by herself. She had to try her best to live a good life.

"I …" Leo did not say anything. He stared at Barbara's back while thinking for a few seconds before he turned around and walked back into the study.
In the past three years, Barbara had lived alone in a rented apartment. She was very skilled at cooking a few small dishes, and cooked very quickly.
She placed two dishes and a soup on the table."Leo, you can eat now." Barbara carefully knocked on the door of the study.
In the study room, Leo was currently on the phone, and said, "You handle all of these matters, you don't have to report everything to me."
With that, he immediately hung up. When he looked up, he saw Barbara's, and then he asked coldly, what's the matter?"
"You can eat now." Barbara laughed, and didn't dare see him.
"I'm coming." He said indifferently.They sat opposite each other, earnestly eating. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was tedious for a moment.
There were several times Barbara wanted to talk. As Leo was indifferent, she gave up.
After the meal, Leo took the initiative to help her wash the dishes and Barbara did not reject. He was willing to share the housework with her, so why not?
Leo looked clumsy, so he must not have done these things before. But that's right, how could CEO from such a large company do such trivial things like washing dishes?
"Pa.….”
Hearing the sound of the porcelain bowl shattering, Barbara immediately stood up and walked over. She noticed that Leo was staring at the shattered porcelain pieces on the ground.
"Let me do it." Barbara walked over and wanted to take the bowl from Leo's hands.
"No need, let me do it." Leo moved his hand away from Barbara's, but his tone sounded the same.
"Leo, actually …" Barbara stared at Leo and could not finish her words, so she nodded and left the kitchen, allowing Leo to continue.
Although they were the couple, she was still not very familiar with him. She wanted to know him, to know everything about him, and to be as good a wife as she could.
However, as she considered his status, could she still approach him with the same thoughts she had when they got married?
Barbara sat down in the living room, picked up the remote control and switched on the television, picking out a random news channel. While watching TV, she would occasionally look towards the kitchen, through the glass door she could see Leo seriously and wholeheartedly washing the dishes.
She secretly sighed, so it turned out that this man could be so funny when he washed dishes. Maybe because Barbara had been watching, Leo suddenly turned around.
They looked at each other. But Leo looked cold, Barbara just smiled. Seeing that he had been caught red—handed, Barbara blushed as she was found peeping him, but she still smiled politely.
Barbara turned to watch TV, but all she thought was about him. This man was so charming not only in his work, but in washing dishes. When could she see his discomfiture?
After cleaning up the kitchen, Leo returned to the hall and found Barbara in a daze. He stared at her, and spoke after a few seconds, "Barbara."
"Ah…" Leo was calling out her name. Barbara felt very pleasant, and for a moment, she blushed.
Leo sat on the sofa on the other side. "There are some things that I want to discuss with you."
"Alright." Barbara replied. She was just about to talk to him. She wanted to take this opportunity to clarify.
Leo examined her up and frowned, and then he slowly spoke, "Barbara, today, at the company …."
"I understand that there is a clear distinction between the public and the private." Actually, I don't want to let people in the company talk behind us just about our personal relationship." Before Leo could finish, Barbara interrupted him.She had worked hard at this company for three years in order to achieve her current results, and she still wanted to rely on her own to continue promoting.
She didn't want to change because of Leo. Leo looked calm. He said, "Regarding the identity of being the CEO of Innovation, I do not intend to hide it from you. When you were in such an occasion today, I didn't know what you were thinking, so I didn't announce it to the outside world. However, that doesn't mean that I want to hide this matter. "
"I know." Barbara nodded and said, "To me, work and life are completely separate. I do not want to bring personal life to work."
The matter that they got their marriage certificates was just something between them. Barbara thought that there was absolutely no need to specially announce it to the company.
For one thing, she didn't want her job to be affected. Secondly, she wasn't sure how long she could be with Leo.
As Barbara was firm, he paused for a bit, then said, "Have you told your family about our marriage?"
Barbara shook her head, as she did not want to talk about her family.
"I've just taken over innovation technology, and there are some things I need to deal with by myself. If you don't mind, I'd like to go with you to visit my wife's parents after I finish my work."
He was calm, as if he had expected that Barbara did not mention this matter to his family yet.
"No need." Barbara rejected him immediately, but felt that it was inappropriate so she quickly explained, "I had some problems with my family, I have not contacted them for a long time, let's talk about it later."
Family? Every time she thought of this word, Barbara felt very sad. As early as three years ago, that family was no longer hers, and she could no longer go back.
"Barbara." Leo deeply called out her name, and said, "From now on, you are no longer alone, you have me."
Leo's voice sounded indifferent, but he had a nice voice. She felt different. These words were clearly not words of love, and it made her confused.
Although she persevered through the years, she still couldn't help feeling sad when thinking about that matter at night. She also silently shed tears.
"Barbara." After being silent for a while, Leo spoke again, "We are already husband and wife, I sincerely wish to live a lifetime with you."
She did not expect Leo to suddenly say this, which made Barbara stunned. He looked sincere, and she looked at him, "I've also made up my mind to live with you for the rest of my life."
Leo stared at her, he paused for a few seconds and said, "Then Barbara, can you promise me, that no matter what happens, you will not easily ask for a breakup?"
"Yes!" Barbara nodded heavily, "I will try my best to be a qualified wife."
She did not easily mention breaking up with him. It was what Barbara was thinking. Now that Leo had personally said it, she felt at ease.……
Chapter 5 Preview
Leo and Barbara looked at each other, and once again, the atmosphere became awkward because they didn't know what to say.
"You do your job first. I still have some matters to deal with." Barbara was always optimistic, but somehow, the moment she met Leo, she was at a loss for what to do.
"Alright." Leo nodded and walked towards the study room.
Barbara glanced at him, then returned to her room to prepare the information she needed for tomorrow's work.
After two hours, Barbara turned off the phone and rubbed her aching forehead. She got up and went out, and when she opened the door, she saw Leo who had just came out of the bathroom.
He was wearing a white robe his short black hair dripping, and he looked very cold.
"It's getting late. Hurry up and go wash up." He barely looked at her as he walked into the room.
Barbara was at a loss of what to do. It seemed that he was planning to sleep with her tonight. But … but she felt that she could not quite accept him.
Thinking of this, Barbara felt very nervous.
After washing in the bathroom for half an hour, Barbara finally came out. She found a pair of long—sleeved pajamas and wrapped herself tightly.
When she returned to her room, she did not see Leo, and could not help but quietly relieve. However, Leo walked in.
There was a faint smell of tobacco with him. He probably went to smoke on the balcony just now. He didn't hide the fact that he smoked, but He thoughtfully did not smoke in the area where she appeared.
"Go to sleep." Leo got onto the bed first, lay on the right side of the bed, and left the position on the left for Barbara.
"Oh, good …" Barbara was so nervous that she stammered and sweat. She crawled onto the bed from the other side and laid down on Leo's left side.
The big bed was two meters wide, and there was clearly a distance between them. But Barbara felt that she was tightly surrounded by Leo's breath.
"I'm going to sleep. Good night!" She quickly closed her eyes, hoping she would fall asleep in the shortest time.
Barbara couldn't sleep because she had been woolgathering. She wondered if he would do something to her while she was asleep.
But thinking about it, even if Leo really wanted to do something to her, it would be normal. After all, they were already husband and wife.
With this thought in mind, Barbara felt very nervous. Maybe he sensed Barbara's nervousness, but Leo suddenly caressed her head, "Barbara, even though we are husband and wife, I will not force you to do things that you are unwilling to do."
His voice still sounded as sexy and pleasant as usual, but Barbara felt awkward and blushed. Could this man not be so sensitive?......
With Leo's guarantee, Barbara gradually relaxed, and fell asleep soon. When she woke up, it was already dawn.
Barbara grabbed her phone to check the time, and then she exclaim, "Oh, no!"Her alarm would ring on time at seven o'clock from Monday to Friday morning. Was it broken or was she too sleepy to hear it?
"You're awake." Leo said in a low voice, "I saw that it was still early, so I turned off your alarm clock and let you sleep a little longer."
As Leo spoke, Barbara realized that he was in the room. She looked up and saw Leo, who had well—dressed, sitting on the sofa. He casually flipped through the newspaper.
He seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time."Um, wait for me for a moment, I'll go make breakfast as soon as possible."
Barbara scratched her head and jumped off the bed, rushing into the bathroom in a panic.
"Breakfast is ready. I'll wait for you to eat." Leo said in a low voice, and for a moment, Barbara didn't know how to respond.
As Barbara was frightened, Leo couldn't help smiling slightly. Was Barbara really the vixenish girl who got drunk and scolded him for three hours and threw up all over him?......
After Barbara finished washing, she went to the dining hall and changed her work attire. She was in a White shirt and a short black skirt. The dress fit her perfectly, making her look a bit more mature than her real age.
As he saw Barbara, Leo was amazed by her. He quietly looked away and sat down to eat breakfast.
Therefore, Leo's first order as the president of innovation and technology was to change out of his company's female staffs' short skirts into trousers.
Noticing the delicious breakfast on the table, Barbara laughed, "Did you make all of this?"
He told her last night that he didn't know how to cook, what was this? Wasn't it amazing that he could cook such a delicious breakfast in just one night?
He knew what Barbara thought, Leo passed the warm milk to her, and said at the same time, "It was sent by my servant.”
Leo was scrupulously clean, and he was extremely picky with food. Normally, he wouldn't eat outside, so the servant who was in charge of his daily life had made preparations in advance.
"It looks delicious." Barbara sat down and took a bite, "It's really delicious."It melted fragrant. It was even more delicious than she had expected.
"Yes." Leo lightly said, but he did not give a reply, looking extremely cold.
As Leo did not say anything, Barbara picked up another piece of dessert and ate.
After eating another piece of dessert, Barbara quietly glanced at Leo. He looked so elegant, and she could not help thinking of the nobles of England. He didn't have to do anything intentionally, but he would always inadvertently show his elegance and noble.
"Is there something on my face?" Leo suddenly said wonderingly.
"No, no." She was caught by peeping him again, then she turned blushed as she quickly looked down and ate breakfast.
"If these breakfasts were to your taste, I'll have my servant prepare them like this in the future." After a long while, Leo said again.
Barbara said apologetically, "Actually, you don't need to do this for me."
Leo put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "You are my wife."
"Oh, okay." Barbara did not refute him anymore, because Leo's excuse made her soften. She was his wife, and he was her husband. They would be husband and wife for the rest of their lives.
As Barbara ate delicious snacks and drank the warm milk, she couldn't help thinking God had been kind to her, giving her opportunity to gain happiness.
Chapter 6 Preview
Everyone's words were fearsome, Barbara had experienced it firsthand.
If her colleagues in the company saw her sitting in New CEO's car to work, there would be kinds of rumors.
So when Leo asked her to sit in his car to work, she didn't even think about it before she shook her head and rejected him. Although she was not in Leo's car, they arrived at the company about the same time.
While Barbara and a group of people were waiting for the elevator, Leo also arrived at the elevator specially reserved for CEO under the escort of two special assistants.
She wanted to pretend that she didn't see him, but she felt that it wasn't appropriate, so she greeted them politely, "Chairman Leo, good morning!"
"En!" Leo indifferently replied, and he looked around once before walking into the elevator. Leo's indifference did not extinguish everyone's enthusiasm, and they once again hotly discussed about this new CEO.
Barbara did not participate in the discussion, but she felt that it was kind of funny. Leo's public and private attitude was quite obvious.
At this time, she came up with an online word to describe him, male god.
Once she entered the company, Barbara immediately forgot the matter with Leo, and became fully immersed in her work.
Recently, Barbara and a few of her colleagues from the same department were busy preparing the bidding project for the Grand Corporation. Seeing that the bidding was about to start, Barbara became more tense, and she was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat lunch.
In the company, Barbara was famous for being a workaholic. It was common for people to not eat or work, and no one really cared about her.
But today, when Barbara was too busy, she received a call from Leo. Barbara looked around to see that there was no one around, then carefully picked up the call, "Is there something wrong?"
The implication was that when you were in the company, did not call her and did not let others know about their relationship.
Leo obviously did not expect Barbara to say this, and paused for a moment before replying, "It's true that work is important, but you cannot go hungry."
He still looked indifferent, but it wasn't hard to hear his concern. Barbara turned blushed, and said, "Alright, I understand."
Leo, who was on the other side of the phone, did not speak anymore. Barbara did not know what else to say.
Leo, who was on the other side, spoke at the last moment again, "I am in Room 1808 of the Lily Hotel."
Barbara nodded instinctively, "Then when you eat, I won't disturb you anymore.""
Barbara!" Leo's tone sounded slightly heavier, and after a few seconds, he said, "I'll wait for you."
"There's no need..." Barbara instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, the other party had already hung up.
Looking at the darkened phone screen, Barbara frowned slightly before sighing helplessly. Was there any reason for her to refuse to have lunch with her newly wedded husband?
Lily Hotel was a five—star hotel near the company. It was expensive, and Barbara would normally not come here unless the company invited important customers.
When they arrived at Lily Hotel, Barbara was still hoping to not bump into some acquaintances, but she ran into Leo's special assistant Jannie.
Barbara wanted to pretend she didn't see her, but she stopped her, "Miss Barbara, Chairman Leo asked me to come and pick you up."
Barbara laughed awkwardly, and quickly caught up to Jannie. She and Leo were clearly a legal husband and wife, but now they acted like they were having an affair. They were really embarrassed.
Arriving at room 1808, Barbara saw Leo's other special assistant. Leo took the initiative to stand up and take Barbara's jacket, hanging it on a hanger at the side. He then pulled out a chair for her to take a seat, and said, "Jannie and Todd have worked by my side for many years, they already know about our matters."
Barbara nodded, she did not say a word, and only looked at Jannie and Todd for a bit longer.
Todd and Jannie nodded politely and left the room without saying anything else. Leo personally scooped a bowl of soup and passed it to Barbara, "All these years, I have been doing some business, so a few people follow around me."
Hearing him take the initiative to explain, Barbara was very pleased. In the morning, his servant made breakfast and sent it over.
He was also accompanied by capable people like Todd and Jannie. His background was even more complicated than she had imagined.
Barbara didn't want to investigate further. After all, she agreed to marry him because she felt that this person didn't look so bad.
It wasn't because of his family background.Barbara did not ask any further, and Leo also did not speak much either.
Furthermore, Leo had been taught from a young age that he could not speak while eatting or sleeping, and he was not used to saying too much at the table.It was very quiet at the table.
When both of them had put down their chopsticks, Leo then said lightly, "No matter how busy I am in the future, I will have to eat.
"Barbara nodded, "I will take note of it."Upon hearing her perfunctory reply, Leo was obvious dissatisfied, and he said, "Let's have lunch together from now on.
"Leo's tone sounded overbearing and forceful, but Barbara did not hate him.
Looking up, she smiled at him, "Thank you for your concern, but...""Chairman Leo?" Leo frowned, "Since you called me Chairman Leo, then will you listen to me?"This man had used his identity to suppress her so quickly.
Barbara had been working at the innovation company's Business Department for three years, and she was considered a smart and astute person.
Now she really did not know how to deal with Leo.Leo seized the opportunity and continued, "Then it's decided.
"Barbara didn't want to meet Leo covertly every day at noon, but she couldn't find any excuses to reject, so she nodded and agreed.She even found a reason to flee in a hurry.
When Barbara was hastily fleeing back, Leo slightly looked sullen. He subconsciously tapped at the table, as if he was planning something.
"Young Master." A woman around forty odd years old knocked on the door and interrupted Leo.
Leo looked up and looked over coldly, "Is there something?" The woman said, "Are these dishes to your liking?"Leo had a small obsession with cleanliness, he almost did not eat outside, but this Lily Hotel was owned by him.
The elegant private dining room of 1808 was arranged especially for him according to his preferences, and his food was naturally prepared by someone else.
Since young, Leo's diet had always been taken care of by this woman, so she was the one who understood Leo's taste the best.
"From now on, I'll prepare two dishes for every meal. Less spicy!" Leo did not reply, but gave another order instead.
His eating habits were light, but Barbara's was spicy. She had never told him about this, but Leo knew it.
Chapter 7 Preview
Walking out of Lily Hotel, Barbara looked around guiltily. Only after not seeing any acquaintances did she finally relieved.
Having lunch with her husband and worrying about being seen by others, she felt that it was rather ridiculous when she recalled it later on.
Barbara relieved helpless. If she knew that Leo would turn out to be the new CEO of the Wing, would she have married him so easily?
At this moment, Barbara could not give herself an answer to this question, nor was she willing to think too much of it.
Returning back to her office, Barbara received a notice from the department manager, telling some colleagues in charge of the bidding project to prepare properly.
In the afternoon, they would discuss the project with CEO. TheGrand was a game development company and also a subsidiary of the Smith Group, a famous enterprise in London.
TheSmith Group was one of the top enterprises in the country.
There were a lot of companies that wanted to cooperate with them. Winning out from dozens of bidding companies was not easy.
TheGrand was the most important project for the Wing this year. Leo had just become the new CEO, it was understandable that he would pay attention to the development of the project, but Barbara felt a little uneasy.
Shewas already restless due to Leo's disturbance. She still had to work with him in the afternoon, so she was worried that her work would be affected by him.
Barbara and her colleagues had reached the meeting room in advance and had prepared all the information they needed, but they were still in suspense.
"Barbara..." Emily went close to Barbara's ear and whispered, "Everyone knows your ability, don't worry too much.
"Barbara pursed her lips and laughed, but did not say anything. Emilywas also one of the members in the project team, but she was a girl who spoke sweetly did not work seriously, thus Barbara was in charge of a lot of things.
The other male colleague, Jack, also leaned towards Barbara, "Barbara, with you leading us to prepare this project, there will definitely not be a problem.
"Barbara said, "No matter what, we should be cautious."Barbara was the person in charge of this group. She had the most responsibility, and would always have more concerns than others.
Furthermore, this was the first project that Barbara had worked on since she took office. Other than wanting to achieve good results at work, she also wanted to leave a good impression on her husband.
In the future, when she lived with Leo, she definitely cannot let him look down on her."Chairman Leo... "It was unknown who shouted, but everyone immediately looked toward the door of the conference room.
So did Barbara. Shelooked up and saw Leo leading his two assistants and walking in gracefully. At lunch time, Leo was dressed in casual attire, but he had changed into a handmade, silver—grey suit, a white shirt with a bottom edge, and a blue and white striped tie.
"Hello, Chairman Leo!"Everyone stood up and greeted Leo. "Everyone, please take a seat." Leo said indifferently, then sat on the main seat and indicated Todd to start the meeting.
Leo didn't even glance at her as she relieved. Infact, from yesterday and this morning, she could see that Leo had been much more serious than her on public and private attitude.
SinceBarbara was the leader of the team, she would naturally be the one to introduce the details of the preparations for the project.
Because she worked diligently, many of the details were done personally by her. When she analyzed the specific situation to the group of executives, including Chief Executive Officer, Barbara was not nervous.
Not only was she not nervous, she was very good at it. Atthe end, Barbara received a lot of applause. Just as she was about to bend over to express her thanks.
She looked up when Leo looked at her waywardly. SeeingBarbara looking at him, Leo smiled at her politely. Barbara immediately smiled at Leo politely in return.
Since she wanted to do it for her own business, she was not worse off than him. Leo looked calm and cold.
He didn't care about anything, making everyone feel slightly nervous. But luckily she was fully prepared, and Leo confirmed the work of her group.
It was successful. At the end of the meeting, the project team members were very excited and forgot all the executives for a while as they walked. Jack put his hand on Barbara's shoulder,
"Barbara, if we can take down the Grand, this project, is truly incomparably honorable." Barbara was also happy, for a moment she did not notice how intimate they looked, and she nodded with a smile,
"As long as we work hard together, there is nothing that is impossible." "Barbara!"Barbara was stunned for a moment, then turned and asked politely' “Chairman Leo, are you looking for me?”
"Barbara, you are the person in charge of the Grand Project's team.
Chairman Leo still has some details he wants to discuss with you." The one who spoke was not Leo, but Jannie who was beside him.
Jannie had worked under Leo for many years, so she was naturally very clear on what Leo was currently thinking. The CEO went to Barbara for the work, and the other members were all smart enough to quickly find an excuse to slip away, leaving Barbara alone by Leo's side. Leo walked closer to Barbara,
"Barbara …"Barbara subconsciously took two steps back, keeping a distance between her and Leo, "Chairman Leo, what's the matter.
"Leo moved closer to her, "At this time, I am Leo, your husband."Barbara retreated even further and looked at him, "Chairman Leo, this is business time."
Upon hearing Barbara's, Leo frowned slightly, he was obviously a little angry. However, due to his good upbringing, he did not easily show his anger.
After a while, he said seriously, "Barbara, although I am very clear that you are not related to that man, but seeing him embrace you intimately, as your husband, I will be jealous."
Barbara obviously never thought that Leo would say such a thing to her. In an instant, she blushed, and in the end, she pursed her lips and laughed, "Don't worry Chairman Leo, this won't happen again."
"Chairman Leo?" Leo squinted under the golden frame of the glasses, and he was truly angry. "Chairman Leo, go ahead, I will go down first." Barbara did not know that Leo was angry, so she turned to leave.
Leo watched as Barbara entered the elevator, and looked even colder. "Chairman Leo, there are still a few documents that I need you to take a look at." Jannie timely warned. Leo walked towards his office and coldly said, "Are all you women so strong?"......
Chapter 8 Preview
Jannie was startled at first, but quickly recovered. "Barbara has experienced that kind of injury and betrayal, and has no one to rely on for the past three years. Just as she was speaking,
Leo stopped and turned to look at her gloomily. Jannie immediately said, "But you will love her in the future."......
The meeting room was on the 23rd floor, and the Business Department was on the 19th floor. When the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the door was opened.
Sally from the Public Relations Department walked in. Barbara did not like Sally, so she stood to the side, and did not want to greet.
Sally glanced at Barbara and looked up, "Someone, don't think that no one would know of the ugly things that they did in the past in a different city."
Barbara listened and decided not to waste her energy on Sally who could cause trouble.
Barbara's indifferent attitude angered Sally, she turned and glared at Barbara, "Barbara, don't you know that our CEO is married?"
Barbara pursed her lips and smiled. If she didn't know that Leo was married, then who else would? Sally wanted to hook up with Leo, so she thought that it would be the same for Barbara as well.
Thus, she said, "CEO had asked Jannie to send an internal email this morning to announce to everyone in the company that he has got married."
Barbara was so busy with the matter of the Grand Corporation's tender today that she didn't even look at the internal mail of the company.
Now that she knew, she couldn't help feeling sweet.Leo said that when he saw other men being close to her, he would be jealous.
Thinking of this, Barbara laughed, and couldn't help laughing.It was unrealistic for Sally to fantasy about Leo. When she knew that Leo was married this morning, she turned cold.
After being depressed for half a day, she wanted to invite someone to be depressed along with her. As soon as she thought of it, she thought of Barbara.
She wanted Barbara to feel what she had felt, but Barbara was calm, making her angry. Sally angrily stomped.
Gritting her teeth, she thought that she couldn't do anything to Barbara now, but there would be a day when she would know Barbara's weakness, making her unable to act so arrogantly.
Because of yesterday's lesson, Barbara did not waste even a moment after getting off work today.
She rushed home as quickly as possible, hoping to make dinner before Leo got off work. While going to the supermarket to buy ingredients, Barbara dialed Leo's number.
When Barbara called, she found that Leo was having a temporary meeting with a few higher—ups. He raised his hand to indicate everyone to quiet down before he answered the phone.
"What's the matter?"Barbara said, "I'm in the supermarket, do you have anything you like to eat?" Leo said calmly, "I am not picky with food, you can decide."
When Leo said this, Jannie and Todd were already beside him. Hearing his words, they looked at each other at the same time.
If their CEO was not picky with food, then there was probably no one in this world who was picky with food. When Leo returned home, he found Barbara busy working in the kitchen.
She was wearing an apron, and her long black hair was tied up in a random bun, revealing her fair neck. It wasn't hard for him to imagine her doing well at work when he saw her like that.
Leo looked at her in a daze for a while before walking into the kitchen. "Barbara, I'm back." Barbara turned around and smiled lightly, "Go and change your clothes first, we will start eating soon."
Leo stood there without moving, "Barbara..."Barbara did not stop moving, she turned around and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to change." Leo had initially said that he wouldn't need her to cook after work, so he only asked servant to prepare the dishes.
However, he felt that it wasn't bad eating the food cooked by his wife. He liked the life, that when he returned home from work, he would be able to eat food personally cooked by his wife, not everything was prepared by his servant.
Barbara prepared three dishes and a soup. There was a sliced chicken, an onion fried meat, a fried lotus root and a golden needle mushroom soup.
Noticing that Leo was only eating light dishes at noon, Barbara guessed that he liked light food, and cooked some of these common dishes.
Leo changed his clothes and came out, the dishes were already on the table.
Seeing the onion on the table, he frowned slightly, but very quickly, nothing happened. Barbara brought the soup up and scooped a bowl for Leo.
"I've been busy all day, let's drink a bowl of soup first. ""Alright." Leo took the bowl and took a sip. Barbara picked up another onion and placed it into Leo's bowl.
"Onion is very healthy, eat more.""Alright." Leo nodded.However, he did not immediately eat. Instead, he slowly drank the soup.
He finished one bowl and added another. He also ate a few pieces of White Chicken and Lotus Root Starch, but he did not touch the onions she put in his bowl. When Barbara realized this, she started to swobble with her head down, feeling sad.
Barbara did not speak anymore, and Leo also did not like speaking at the table, so it was extremely quiet. After finishing his meal, Leo was in charge of washing the dishes. Without saying anything, he turned and returned to his room.
She clearly knew that the relationship between them wasn't that close, but if she saw how much he despised her food, she would still feel sad.
But she thought again, their marriage was not based on love, only for the sake of marriage. Although they were already hus band and wife, neither of them understood each other.
Neither of them was close enough to help each other with food. She had been careless. In the future, she would try to respect him as much as possible and would never overdo again.
After thinking it through, Barbara no longer bothered about the matter just now. She turned on her computer and prepared to take a closer look at the Grand Project's proposal.
Friday was the opening date. With so many people busy for so long, they definitely could not allow to make any mistakes.
Just as Barbara opened the folder, her phone rang. Barbara saw that it was her best friend, Freda. When she picked up the call, she heard Freda shouting angrily, "You damned girl, where are you? Why didn't you tell me about the move? Do you want to scare me?
" Freda was Barbara's high school and university classmate. Back then, when Barbara had betrayed her family and friends, she was the only one standing by her side.
Barbara decided to come to Barcelona to work. Freda did not even think about it, and dragged a simple luggage with her as she left the bustling capital city and came to Barcelona.
She was worried that Barbara would do something stupid by herself. She originally wanted to accompany Barbara for two months, and only turned back to the capital after Barbara had calmed down.
Chapter 9 Preview
But in the end, they felt that Barcelona, this new big international city, was not bad too.
Freda and Barbara settled down together, and they took out all their money to open a bridal design studio.
Barbara needed money, accurately speaking, she thought that no matter how intimate they were, she couldn't rely on anyone.
Only money could give her a sense of security. She needed an extra job to earn money, so she entered into the Wing.
Thus, she just invested and didn't participate in the management of the bridal design room.
But Freda knew that this was only one of the reasons, the real reason was because Barbara was no longer willing to draw a wedding drawing board with a brush, so Barbara chose to work in a job that was completely out of the field of painting.
It was a wound that Barbara had buried the deepest in her heart, and even now, no one had been able to help her heal it.
In the front of Freda, Barbara had absolutely no privacy at all. She had wanted to ask Freda out this weekend to discuss the matter of his marriage with her, but unexpectedly, Freda had gone ahead of time to find her at her rented place.
Barbara listened quietly, and after Freda finished roaring, she said softly, "Freda, don't worry, I'm fine.
The work on the Grand Project will be done this Friday. I'll treat you to a meal during the weekend."
Freda shouted angrily, "Stupid girl, you scared me, do you think a meal can compensate me for my mental loss?" Barbara knew that Freda was kind, and could not help laughing,
"Then, how about sleeping with you for a night to compensate you?" When Barbara said this, the moment Leo opened the door and walked in, he already knew who Barbara was talking to on the phone.
Barbara was usually warm and gentle. She seemed to be close to anyone, but in reality, the only person that could get close to her was Freda.
Leo knew about all this, but Barbara did not know about it. She quickly covered her cell phone and whispered, "This is my female friend."
Regardless of whether or not she loved him, in the name of husband and wife, she would not do something that would make Leo jealous.
Leo nodded and did not ask too much. However, Barbara thought that Leo did not believe her. She pursed her lips and laughed helplessly, maybe he thought that she was the wantonly woman.
"Barbara, Barbara..." She did not hear Barbara's words, but Freda shouted out, "Give me the address, I'll go and look for you."
Barbara knew that Freda was worried about her. If she didn't let Freda see that she was fine today, she would definitely call the police to find her.
Barbara smiled gently, "Stop messing around, I'll go find you." After hanging up,
Barbara packed up simply and prepared to stay over with Freda for the night and honestly explain the matter of registering for the marriage.
She knocked on the door of the study and heard Leo's permission before she pushed the door and entered, "Leo, I'm going over to Freda's place tonight, I'm not coming back."
Leo immediately stood up, "I'll drive you there." Barbara shook her head, "No need to trouble you." Leo stared at her, "It's too late, I can't be at ease going out by yourself." His tone sounded very unyielding, making Barbara unable to refuse.
Leo's car was a Range Rover. For someone like him, a car wasn't considered expensive, but it was spacious and comfortable.
Leo drove the car very safely, and he also looked steady. Leo asked her for the address, and after Barbara gave him the address, they did not have any other conversations.
After almost an hour, they reached. Barbara thanked him and was about to open the car door, but Leo reached out and grabbed her. "Barbara..."
His voice sounded low, sexy and always pleasant when he called her name. Barbara glanced at his hand, then looked up.
She asked him softly, "Is there anything else?" He let her go and said somewhat uncomfortably, "Are you angry?" Barbara laughed,
"Why should I be angry?"Leo, "..."Barbara opened her car door and got off, then stood outside and said, "Quickly go back, drive carefully."
Leo nodded, started the car and left. After watching him car drive off for a distance, Barbara turned around and walked towards the direction of Freda's residential area.
When they first arrived at Barcelona, Barbara and Freda lived together. After that, Barbara went to work at the Wing, and because it was too far away, she moved to a nearby company to rent a house.
After Barbara moved away, Freda stayed in the house and especially left a room for her. As Freda said, she wanted Barbara to go back to her home and take a look anytime.
Seeing that Barbara was fine in front of her, Freda couldn't be bothered with her anymore. She hugged her IPAD and watched the series.
Freda ignored her, but her pomeranian pounced at Barbara's feet, kissing and wagging its tail. It was obviously overjoyed.
Barbara casually threw away her bag, and picked up the little guy, "Em, do you miss your mother?" It cries as it crawled into Barbara's embrace, using its action to show how much it missed her mother.
Freda looked over in dissatisfaction, "Em, you little glutton! Even though you are her biological, I have raised you for more time than she has.
It's fine if you don't want to kiss me, but instead, you have to show your love in front of me. " Barbara walked to Freda and said proudly,
"Honey is a smart guy, and knows who's the mother and who's the stepmother." "I'm a stepmother?" Freda threw the IPAD into her embrace and said arrogantly, "Girl, be careful that I might poison your daughter."
Barbara still did not speak, and her Honey continued to bark to express its dissatisfaction with Freda. Seeing such a cute dog, Barbara was overjoyed.
She rubbed its face gently, saying, "My daughter is still the most considerate of me." Freda blinked at Barbara, "If you want your daughter, then find a man to marry to, and marry him as much as you want to."
Barbara looked at Freda and suddenly said seriously, "Freda, I've registered the marriage." "Get off!" Freda pointed at the door, but quickly realized that Barbara would not make such a joke towards her.
It took a long time for her to say anything, "Of course, who is that man?"Barbara said, "It's that man called Leo that you introduced to me last time." "Leo?"
Freda scratched her head, and seriously recalled the name, thinking for a long time but not having the slightest impression, "The person I introduced you to, is not someone called Leo."
Chapter 10 Preview
Hearing Freda's words, Barbara was stunned for a moment. She once seriously tried to recall the situation on the day of the blind date."Of course …"
Freda nervously grabbed Barbara's hand, "Tell me what it is all about."She was really worried that Barbara would be fooled by that liar.
Barbara explained in detail about the matter of the blind date registering for the marriage, and how Leo was a new CEO of her company.
She was shock when she heard it, "Barbara, what should I say?" Freda took back the IPAD that was thrown to the side again and quickly opened up a web page to search for the Leo that possessed the Wing.
At the same time, she nagged, "I think that Leo is definitely a bald old man with a large belly. Before she finished speaking, Freda was stunned by the pictures on the internet.
Although there were only two photos from the press conference that day, it was enough to see his unparalleled appearance.
Freda said excitedly, "Stinky girl, quickly give me a slap, and let me know that I am not dreaming." Barbara obediently slapped Freda's back,
"It's the person you saw." Freda danced as she said, "Such a handsome man, and above all, such a capable man is your husband.
You've been out of luck for so many years, are you lucky now?" Barbara did not have the mood to joke around with Freda, so she asked,
"Do you mean Leo was not the man you introduced to me?" Freda said, "Actually, it was also me. "It's a client of the studio.
He told me that he had some good men by his side, and I immediately thought of you, so.." Barbara grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it towards Freda,
"Girl, how much worried are you that I won't be able to get married?" "I'm not worried that you won't be able to get married,
I'm worried that you won't want to." Freda suddenly hugged Barbara, feeling both happy and sad. "Of course, you have to be happier than anyone else.
Barbara patted Freda's back and said gently, "Freda, the past is already the past. I won't trap myself within. I will live happily, not for the sake of slapping others a few times, but for my own sake.
"Freda was very happy when she thought like this. She quickly went to the refrigerator to get two cans of beer, "Stinky girl, I wish you a happy marriage! In the future, you have to be happy and blissful.
If Leo dares to bully you, don't be afraid, I will be with you. " Speaking of Leo, Barbara was still very satisfied, and smiled, "Although we don't have any love, but I believe him, so I think we should be able to continue on."
That night, Barbara and Freda chatted for a long time, and they chatted until it was completely bright.
However, after an entire night of discussion, Freda could finally relax. It was great that Barbara was willing to accept others.......She did not sleep throughout the night, so Barbara woke up early to pack up and go to the company.
She valued her work more than anything, and no matter how tired she was, she could not bear to leave it behind. When Leo ate lunch together with her, he noticed that Barbara was not as spirited as she used to be.
After eating, he said considerately, "Barbara, there's a room to rest in.
Go and rest for an hour." Barbara wanted to say did not trouble, but Leo looked concerned, she stopped. Although there was no love, but as her husband, Leo was extremely qualified, and he truly cared about her.
Furthermore, without a good spirit, her efficiency would naturally be decreased. Barbara understood this logic. The resting room was next door to Room 1808.
The decoration was very fresh and simple, and looked comfortable. Leo pulled the curtains tightly, making the room to become much darker. In that moment, Barbara felt even sleepier.
Leo walked back to his bed and sat down, then pulled a quilt over Barbara, "Sleep, I'll wake you up when it's time." Barbara tried not to be asleep,
"Aren't you going to rest?" Leo said, "I slept very well last night, I'm not sleepy today." "Yes." Barbara nodded obediently and fell asleep in a while. Leo sat on the side of the bed and did not leave.
As Leo thought, Barbara was not a woman who would amaze others with a single glance, but she looked more and more beautiful.
Here eye brows were like a painting, her eyelashes were long, and her eyes were crystal clear. Her skin looked very good, and she was very well—proportioned. It was precisely her seemingly gentle yet very tough personality that attracted him.
He felt that living with her should be happy. Barbara slept confidently. She had believed that Leo would definitely wake her up on time, but she had never expected that it would turn dark the moment she woke up.
Tomorrow was the bidding day for the Grand Corporation's tendering project, yet Barbara had made such a mistake the day before.
Shep pursed her lips and looked at Leo angrily. Leo, however, replied indifferently, "I got Jannie to help you ask for a leave of absence.
You have also been well—prepared for the Grand's work, so you don't have to worry. " Even if Barbara was very angry, as her big boss said, how could she still be angry?
However, she still could not easily compromise and said, "Next time, I can't do this again." In life, Barbara was very easy to talk to, but when it came to work, she was very strict with herself. Leo nodded, "Then let's go eat dinner first.
"Barbara turned around and walked outside as she muttered to herself, "Do all men like to lie?" Hearing Barbara's words, Leo looked sullen.
She wanted to explain, but in the end, she did not say anything. Although he saw that Barbara was too tired and let her rest longer, he still did not keep his promise.
The Grand Corporation took about half a month to bid, and the Wing obtained the Grand tender project with absolute superiority.
In order to reward everyone, Jannie sent out an email. This weekend, the company would organize a two—day trip to Bentley.
When they heard this news, everyone in the company boiled over.Bentley was a top tourist leisure industry developed by the richest in Europe, including guesthouse area, golf course area, natural hot spring area, and all kinds of leisure facilities and equipment.
It was said that the housing price one night was so expensive that ordinary people would not even dare to think about it. The guests were all super wealthy businessmen and visiting heads of state.
Other than the Zenith Group's own employees, no other company had ever had such luxurious treatment for their employees.
