Chapter 228 1


    Charlie quickly slipped out of the house while the quarrel was still going strong inside the house.


    It would be best for him to stay out of the annoying domestic disputes.


    Charlie went into a small cafe, ordered some snacks, and decided to spend his leisure time there


    until the evening. 4


    It was a famous gourmet street in Aurous Hill with people bustling around.


    Charlie was enjoying his meal when he suddenly spotted two figures on the opposite side of the


    street, one of them looking extraordinarily familiar.


    That was ire, wasn’t it?


    Across the street was a veryvish restaurant. Charlie saw ire sitting by the huge window on the


    second floor, and opposite her was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes wearing gold-


    framed sses. 2


    ire was holding a folder and talking to the man non -stop as if she was showing her portfolio and


    her new role as a frence designer and hoped that the man would invest in her new


    establishment. 1


    Despite her enthusiasm, the man didn''t seem to pay any attention to her speech. He even


    attempted to touch ire''s hand by taking the folder from her


    which she quickly pulled away before he seeded.


    Charlie''s blood was boiling upon witnessing this ridiculous scene!


    That b*stard, how dare he try to sexually assault his wife! 3


    Just then, the waiter came over with a te of chips. Before he could put it down, Charlie mmed


    a twenty dor note on the table and got to his feet hastily. 3


    "Keep the change."


    On the second floor lounge of Little Italy. 1


    Suppressing the disgust surging inside her, ire stered on a polite smile and said to the man


    across the table, "Mr. Murray, I''vepiled all of mypany''s future n and prospects in this


    folder that will promise a positive development in the future. If you are willing to work with me, I


    promise you, I’ll give you the best project nning." 2


    "Miss Wilson, I know your abilities, and I believe in you." Then, the man showed a stiff smile.


    "However, w e have invested a lot of money into various projects recently, and our capital is quite


    restricted for the moment."


    ire was a little disappointed. She had spent the whole morning presenting her portfolio to him,


    but he had been giving ambiguous and vague answers that


    confused her. 4


    Looking at ire''s disappointed expression, the man rubbed his hands deliberately and said,


    "Actually, it''s not a dead-end yet. Let me talk to the senior executives first. Frankly speaking, your


    portfolio looks very interesting. How about we continue the discussion at 8 tonight? I would love to


    know more about your work." 3


    "Um, Mr. Murray, that''s quitete..."


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    ire hesitated.


    It was quitete for them to meet at 8 pm. Besides, if they went on with the discussion, they might


    end up talking until midnight. It wouldn''t be nice for her reputation as someone''s wife. 3


    The man smiled. "No, it''s not. Investment is a big deal. We need to have a deep understanding of


    each other before we can build mutual trust, am I right? I''ll treat you to a nice dinner tonight and


    we''ll continue with the discussion. Come, Miss Wilson. Let’s shake hands for our future


    coboration."


    The man extended his arm toward ire’s tiny little hand, a faint flirtatious vibe hovering in his eyes.


    The man’s name was Peter Murray. He had long heard about ire Wilson, the woman who had


    won the title of Aurous Hill''s most beautifuldy, but he hadn''t had any luck meeting her in the past.


    6


    Yet now, ire had contacted her personally, saying that she had broken her ties from the Wilson


    family and wanted to persuade him to invest in her new studio. He was over the moon! He nned


    to sweep ire off her feet and enjoy the night together!
