Chapter 9
Cynthia has always been sensible, why has she been so thoughtless recently.
On the contrary, Belinda, for the sake of him and the Gwinnett family’s company, was constantly sacrificing herself.
‘Belinda, I have all these things in mind. You go back first, I still have work to do, I will come back to see you in the evening.”
“Okay, Zaiden, don’t tire yourself out too much.”
Belinda almost bumped into Zaiden when she stood up on purpose.
Today she sprayed the perfume they used to wear together, he had said that this perfume smelled really good, every time he smelled it, he would have that kind of impulse towards her.
When she saw Zaiden’s eyes gradually change, she knew she had bet right.
“Zaiden, don’t let Cynthia take care of me anymore. Our previous relationship…”
Belinda, did you use that perfume?”
When Zaiden spoke, he always did so with an irresistible impulse.
Belinda pretended to be innocent and sniffed the scent on her body, then handed it to him to smell.
“Yes, Zaiden, this perfume hasn’t been available for many years. Recently, I met that perfumer and she said she really liked it.
She mentioned that she still had some in stock and gave me a few. Do you still remember this scent?”
Zaiden looked at Belinda with a complex expression in his eyes.
Belinda still looked very innocent:“What’s wrong, Zaiden?”
No problem, you go first.”
Zaiden returned to his position.
Belinda’s lips curled up, of course she knew what was going on with Zaiden, he was reacting everywhere.
He clearly still had feelings for her, marrying Cynthia was just to spite himself, wasn’t it?
Now she has successfully moved into his house, pushing out Cynthia was only a matter of time.
When Cynthia went to Golden Gulf Restaurant, she saw that Kendall had reserved a pretty good table for her.
This is not a private room, but the environment is very nice, and Cael couldn’t find anything to complain about.
The Golden Gulf Restaurant was a place to eat seafood. Cynthia couldn’t stand the fishy smell of seafood, but Cael liked it, so she reluctantly accompanied him.
Cael got carried away and suddenly grabbed Cynthia’s hand.
“Ms. Shepherd, I have heard all about your situation. People like us are completely different from Mr. Gwinnett. He doesn’t want you, but I do.”
Cynthia quickly moved her hand away and said, “Mr. Marshall, you have had too much to drink.”
“I didn’t drink too much, I was very sober, as long as you are with me, I will definitely…”
Cael came straight towards her, and Cynthia immediately stood up.
“Mr. Marshall, you have some self–respect.”
She grabbed her bag and said, “Mr. Marshall, I will call my assistant to pick you up and take you home later. I have something to
< Chapter
do, so I’ll leave first.”
“Where are you going?”
Cael directly pulled down her skirt.
Although wearing safety pants inside, because it was possible to see the position below on the second floor, and the noise was already loud here, everyone looked over.
Cynthia was extremely embarrassed.
“Mr. Marshall, don’t go too far.
Cael stood up and was about to come over. Cynthia was preparing to lift her skirt, but Cael didn’t give her the chance and
moved towards her.
Cynthia couldn’t escape, couldn’t stay, and didn’t know what to do for a while.
Suddenly, a person’s clothes were wrapped around her waist, lifting her up horizontally.
“Mr. Ferguson.”
Cael didn’t pretend to be drunk, he immediately stood up straight and called out to someone soberly.
Noticing that Braiden was looking at the dress in his hand, Cael immediately handed it to him.
The dress was given to you.”
Throw it away, it’s dirty!”
Braiden carried Cynthia our directly
Cael stared blankly, “Oh no! What’s up with Braiden, could he possibly like Cynthia?”
Cael dared before because the whole city knew that Zaiden was called away by the white moonlight Belinda’s phone call when he was marrying Cynthia.
Although there was no news of divorce later, it was obvious that Zaiden didn’t take Cynthia seriously.
He had long set his sights on Cynthia, if it weren’t for Zaiden, he would have made his move long ago.
But what’s the matter with this Braiden?
Weren’t they archenemies?
It is said that this time Braiden got a new collaboration, Cynthia personally went to talk to him, he didn’t even give her a chance, how could he save Cynthia?
Upon second thought, Braiden is just a gentleman after all. Seeing someone in distress, he might have felt it could affect him, that’s why he took action.
It didn’t affect Cael at all.
Cynthia was about to be sent into Braiden’s Karlmann King car, but Cynthia stopped him.
Thank you Mr. Ferguson for saving me again, I will go back by myself.”
Braiden glanced at her lower half and asked, “How are you getting back?”
Cynthia blushed, she really couldn’t go back wearing safety pants, and she didn’t know what the scenery was like on the way.
“Don’t worry, I won’t retaliate against you for what you said to me that day. I was just helping my sister take care of you.”
Cynthia glanced at him and said nothing.
< Chapter!!
Along the way, neither of them spoke.
Cynthia felt that she should be the first to speak.
“That day, I must have misunderstood you. I apologize to you.”
Braiden drove while looking at her with a faint smile.
“Oh? How did the misunderstanding happen?”
“If Mr. Ferguson didn’t want to cooperate with me, even if Zaiden didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t have cooperated with me. At that time, I was just too angry when I heard Zaiden say that sentence, without thinking with my brain, I’m sorry.”
Braiden laughed out loud, “Ms. Shepherd, doing business shouldn’t involve matters of the heart.”
It’s not very pleasant to hear, but quite true.
“Mr. Ferguson said, ‘Doing business should indeed not be clouded by love, I will think carefully in the future.”
Braiden glanced at her, looking somewhat surprised.
Cynthia also noticed that he was hesitant to speak, but if he didn’t say anything, she didn’t ask.
They were about to arrive at her house, Cynthia turned her head.
“Mr. Ferguson, I invite you to dinner, just to thank you for saving me twice, without discussing work.”
“Sure?”
Braiden looked at her with interest.
I have never liked owing anyone, Mr. Ferguson. Will you do me the favor?”
Braiden furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment, I’m not sure which day I have time.”
Cynthia was not surprised either, as he had always been difficult to make plans with.
‘No problem, I’ll wait for Mr. Ferguson to be available.”
“Let me call my assistant,”
Braiden called his assistant, and because he was using a navigation system, Cynthia could hear the assistant’s voice on the other
end
“When do I have time recently?”
The assistant was puzzled. Every day before leaving work, he would report to Braiden about his schedule for the past three days. Braiden himself knew when he had tim
But the assistant was not stupid, and quickly realized that there must be someone around Braiden, and it was likely a woman, possibly Ms. Shepherd.
I checked, you don’t have anything scheduled for the day after tomorrow after work.”
“Oh, after the day after tomorrow’s work?”
The assistant was confused again, “What does the president mean? Did he misunderstand the president’s intention?”
The assistant was very clear that Braiden’s salary was high, and if he went to work for someone else, they definitely wouldn’t be
able to offer as much.
Braiden once said that he had zero tolerance for mistakes. Once he made a mistake, Braiden would not even let him resign, he would definitely have to leave the position of assistant.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Yes.”
“Got it.”
Braiden hung up the phone.
The assistant was even more confused, did he answer correctly or not?
“Did you hear? I have some time after work the day after tomorrow, but I’m quite picky and hard to please.”
Braiden looked at Cynthia, his gaze falling intentionally or unintentionally on the bandage on Cynthia’s forehead.
