Chapter 1431


    After hanging up the phone, Julien once again fiddled with his phone. He pondered for a moment


    and then called Vanessa again. On the phone, Vanessa spoke first, "Is there anything else?"


    Julien asked, "Where are you?"


    Vanessa said, "Didn''t I tell you just now? I''m taking care of my friend''s son at her house."


    Julien said, "Give me the address."


    Vanessa asked, "Wh-what do you want?"


    Julien said, "You''re spending the time that you should be spending on me on someone else. What


    do you think I''m going to do?"


    Vanessa said, "Not tonight. Let''s do it another night, okay? I''ll make sure to make it up to you."


    Julien said, "Give me the address."


    Vanessa said, "Could you please hold it in for now? It''s not that appropriate to do it at someone


    else''s house."

    What did this woman take him for?


    Couldn''t he see her for other reasons besides sleeping with her?


    However, it seemed that it was really the case in the past year.


    Vanessa said again, "My beloved Mr. Kyle, I really can''t do it today. I have a kid here with me."


    Julien hung up on her.


    Listening to the disconnected tone, Vanessa pursed her lips. "What''s wrong with him? Why is he so


    rude?!?"


    Lawrie quickly hugged Vanessa''s thigh. "Mommy, I''m a polite child. Let''s not y with that big bad


    guy who''s so rude!"


    Vanessa smiled and said, "Yes, let''s not y with him."


    The next day, Vanessa got up early and made breakfast for Lawrie. She waited for Winnie to arrive


    before going to work. When she arrived at thepany, Tiana walked towards her.


    Tiana was in low spirits, as if she had not been sleeping the night before. Vanessa asked, "What''s


    wrong, Tiana?"


    Tiana took a deep breath and said, "Vanessa, please give me a few minutes. I have something to


    tell you."


    Vanessa nodded. "Go ahead."


    Tiana took out a debit card and handed it to


    Vanessa. "Vanessa, there is a million dors in this card. As long as you are willing to leave Rovio


    and Mr. Kyle, this one million dors will be yours."


    Vanessa looked at Tiana in surprise. She was so shocked that she started stuttering. "What do you


    mean, Tiana?"


    Tiana said, "I''ve already made myself clear. As long as you leave Rovio and Mr. Kyle, I''m willing to


    do my best to help you. If you love money, I will try my best to earn money for you."


    No matter how Vanessa interpreted Tiana''s words, she still thought that it sounded somewhat


    wrong. "No, Tiana, I need money but I will work hard myself to make money. Why are you giving me


    this sum?"


    Tiana grabbed Vanessa''s hand and shoved the debit card into her palm. "My family is quite well off,


    and I''ve saved up some money over the years too. I don''t spend much usually. I just want to give


    you all the money I have."


    Vanessa admitted that she needed money, but she was not in a state where she needed someone


    to sympathise with her like this. She bit her lip and said, "Although your family is well off and you did


    save up some money, you can''t spend it all on me, right? You might think that the way I''m making


    money is shameful, but do you think that I will be happy just because you''re giving me all your


    money? Tiana, I know that you care about me, but really, I don''t need anyone''s sympathy. I can


    handle my own affairs well."


    Tiana was agitated, "Vanessa, why can''t you just understand my intentions?"


    "I can''t, and I don''t want to understand too. Thank you for your kindness. I really appreciate it."


    Vanessa returned the card to Tiana and smiled. "Let''s get back to work now. I wish the best for the


    both of us."


    Tiana refused to give up and said, "Vanessa, please reconsider it. If you happen to ept my offer,


    you can just give me a call anytime."


    Vanessa did not bother Tiana anymore. Judging from the way Tiana looked at her, Vanessa could


    tell why she was behaving this way. She could only me herself for not noticing it earlier. Also,


    Vanessa thought that it might be because of their close friendship that she had led Tiana on...


    Vanessa did not discriminate against homosexuals, but she wasn''t one. She really couldn''t ept


    Tiana''s feelings for her if it were true.


    Vanessa focused on her work to forget about what had happened between her and Tiana.


    She did not want to make the same mistake that she had made the day before.


    Soon after working hours had begun, Julien arrived at work. As usual, four personal assistants were


    seen following after him. When he passed by the secretary team office, he nced at her, but


    Vanessa was busy with her work so she did not notice him.


    After finishing up her work, Vanessa looked at the time and noticed that it was time to make a cup of


    coffee for Julien. Vanessa arrived at Julien''s office and served the coffee on his desk. Without


    uttering a word, Vanessa nned to leave, but Julien stopped her, "Don''t you have anything to tell


    me?"


    Vanessa smiled and said, "What do you want to hear from me?"


    Julien kept quiet.


    "This woman has been smiling brightly since she got to work. How dare she ask what I want to hear


    from her?" He thought flusteredly.


    Vanessa added, "It''s working hours now. You told me that I should separate personal affairs from


    official matters. If you really have anything to talk about, why don''t we talk about it after work?"


    Julien''s face fell as he threw the pen in his hand onto the desk.


    Seeing that Julien had gotten mad, Vanessa began to say ttering words, trying to lessen his


    anger. "You''re so charming!"


    Julien was speechless.


    Vanessa said with a pleasing smile, "I''m not kidding. You''re really getting more charming each day.


    You''re so charming that you almost blind my eyes. I really want to sing you a song in this instant.


    Baby, you light up my world like nobody else, the way you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, my


    mighty Mr. Kyle."


    Julien said, "Get out!"


    Vanessa grinned as she replied, "Yes, Sir!"


    Looking at Vanessa, Julien gritted his teeth. He knew that Vanessa would only please him when she


    was feeling guilty. He was sure that Vanessa must have done something behind his back.


    Julien called Joel Skr in, but he didn''t say anything and just stared at Joel with his cold eyes. It


    was so terrifying that it made Joel''s hair stand on end. "Mr. Kyle, what can I do for you?"


    Julien remained silent.


    Joel racked his brain and finally asked tentatively, "Is it about Vanessa?"


    Julien was still keeping his mouth shut, but Joel noticed the subtle change in his expression. So he


    quickly reported what he had seen in the morning to Julien, "Tiana approached Vanessa again this


    morning and gave her a debit card with a million dor in it. She said that Vanessa could spend it as


    she liked, but Vanessa did not ept it."


    Julien said, "A million?"


    Was she this happy just because someone had given her a million dors? Julien recalled the time


    when he gave her a gift that was worth more than a million. Why didn''t he see her smiling like she


    did that morning?


    Joel nodded. "Yes, it''s a million."


    Julien waved his hand and Joel quickly left the office.


    Julien picked up his phone and transferred ten thousand dors into Vanessa''s bank ount with a


    note written in the reference column. "Spend it any way you like."


    In the next second, Vanessa received a bank notification on her phone. She clicked onto it and


    realized that Julien had transferred ten thousand dors to her.


    She quickly sent a message to Julien, "Thank you for your generosity, my beloved Mr. Kyle. Love


    ya! Muaxx!"
