Chapter 40 The Boss''s Wife?
"Hahaha."
Feeling heartened, Hermanughed out loud and looked at his brilliant daughter with a look of
gratification.
"File, I raised how, how could I not know your strengths?"
Elie said, "Why didn''t you let me wear... clothes that are more revealing?"
Herman shook his head and said,"My dear daughter, if you wear a revealing outfit on your first
meeting, Mr. Steele will look down on you and think that you''re a frivolous woman without self-
respect."
"Your goal is to marry Mr. Steele, not be his lover or mistress. So, your fashion sense mustn''t
be tacky."
"We''ve just met Miss rke and her secretary, Ashley Rose. Do you remember how they dressed?"
Elie was a vain girl, so she obviously remembered what they wore.
Elie nodded and said, "They both wore the same kind of outfit, consisting of a white shirt paired with
a ck skirt, but that secretary''s skirt was even shorter than Victoria rke''s knee-length skirt."
Herman nodded and said, "The difference in the length of their skirts is what sets them apart.
Victoria rke obviously has a better figure than Ashley Rose, but as the deputy president, she had
to dress more presentably."
"The same goes for you. You have to make yourself look ssy and elegant. Only then will Mr.
Steele cherish
you."
Thinking that Herman made a lot of sense, Elie said, "Thanks, Dad, I''ll definitely snatch Mr. Steele
back from Victoria rke!"
Herman nodded his head in gratification. Once his daughter could get married to the president of
Ace Corporation, Old Mrs. Camden would value Herman, his wife, and his children more.
When the timees, the Camdens'' assets worth close to hundreds of millions of dors and the
position as the next helmsman of thepany would undoubtedly belong to Herman!
Just like that, the two of them remained seated for more than ten minutes.
"Why aren''t they serving us any coffee or tea? Is the hospitality of Ace Corporation so bad?"
Elie''s mouth was getting a little dry from talking, and only then did she realize that the secretary
didn''t serve them any drinks.
Elie couldn''t contain her anger any longer, and she opened the door to yell at Ashley, "Miss Rose,
we''d like to have two cups of tea."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Ashley agreed, but after more than ten minutes passed, she still hadn''t served the tea yet.
"This is infuriating! That secretary was just patronizing me!" Elie eximed, stomping her feet
furiously.
Not wanting Elie''s mood to be affected, Hermanforted, "When you be the president''s wife,
just fire her. Simmer down, Mr. Steele maye in at any
moment."
"Oh."
Elie immediately got back into her elegant sitting posture, smiling like a dignifieddy.
Just like that, half an hour passed.
"Dad, I can''t keep up with this anymore. It''s too tiring to sit like a demuredy. This is exhausting.
Why isn''t Mr.
Steele here yet?"
Elieid down on the sofa and put her legs up too.
Herman took a nce at Elie''s sloppy posture, which was unbearable to look at, and shook his
head. "It seems Mr. Steele doesn''t value us. He even made us wait for an hour."
At this moment, Jordan pushed the door and entered.
When Jordan saw Elie cing her feet on the couch despite wearing high heels, he couldn''t help
but interject.
"Elie, 1 know you behave very casually at home, but why are you so casual when you''re outside
too? Didn''t your father tell you that it''s vulgar to behave like this?"
After Elie heard the door getting mmed shut, she was so frightened that she hurriedly tucked her
legs in and started sitting in adylike posture again.
After Jordan saw it, he added, "Well, it''s the first time in three years that I''ve ever seen you wearing
a dress that covers so much of your body. I didn''t expect you to be able to look like a demuredy."
Herman had undeniably picked out a suitable outfit for his daughter.
If Jordan did not know Elie before this, he would have definitely gotten a good impression of her
during their first meeting. He would even want to get to know her better.
Hearing Jordan''spliment, Elie said with a look of disgust, "Get lost, stop ogling at me. I didn''t
wear this dress for you. I know you''re harboring designs on me because you heard my father say
today that Grandpa intended for you to marry me back then."
"But, how can a country bumpkin like you be worthy of a shining star like me? You''re not even
worthy of Hailey Camden, let alone me."
Although Elie was very feminine, Jordan never had any designs on him in the past three years.
"Elie, you misunderstood. I just thought..."
Elie hurriedly snapped without giving him a chance to speak at all. "You''re not allowed to even think
about it!"
Jordan shook his head helplessly and sat down to look at Herman without bothering about her at all.
However, before he could speak, Herman said to Jordan, "Jordan, you''re just a bodyguard. What
are you doing up here? Where is Mr. Steele?"
Previously, Jordan had already told them that he was the president of Ace Corporation, but they
didn''t believe him, so he didn''t bother to repeat it.
Jordan said, "You are here to discuss the project regarding the top-ss private residences, right?
You may just speak to me."
Herman said disdainfully, "Speak to you? What''s the point of that? You''re a lowly bodyguard and a
loser who only knows to resort to violence. Do you know anything about the project? Do you even
know anything about business?"
Jordan was enraged too. "That means you don''t want to discuss, huh? Alright, I''ll leave now."
"Wait a minute." Elie suddenly pulled Jordan to stop him, taking him by surprise immediately.
Elie smiled kindly and asked, "Jordan, don''t go, let me ask you something. You have been Victoria
rke''s bodyguard for the past two days, so you should be familiar with the rtionship between
her and Mr. Steele, right?"
Jordan nodded and said, "I do understand some of it."
Elie continued asking smilingly, "Well then, can you tell me how close Victoria rke and Mr. Steele
are? Do they live together? Do they live in Mr. Steele or Victoria rke''s ce?"
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Jordan knew that Elie was a bbermouth who would spread the word about everything.
Previously, when Victoria said that she and Jordan were lovers, it had already affected his
reputation. Hence, he wanted to take this opportunity to let Elie spread the word and let more
people know that he had nothing to do with Victoria.
Jordan said, "They''ve broken up."
His answer didn''t embarrass Victoria. He didn''t deny that he and Victoria were lovers, but he also
managed to restore the fact he was single.
After hearing his answer, Elie and Herman were so agitated that they were about to cry.
"Broke up? They broke up? Hahaha..." Elieughed out loud.
Herman smacked his thighs in excitement and eximed, "Heaven is really helping us! Heaven is
helping our family!"
Jordan asked in confusion, "Why are you two so happy about the fact that they''ve broken up?"
Elie smiled and got back into her dignified sitting posture, with one leg atop the other. She looked all
lofty and noble.
"Jordan... I mean, Jordy."
Jordan was dumbfounded. ''Why did Elie give me a nickname? What is she getting up to?''
Elie said, "Jordy, on the ount that you used to be my cousin-inw, I''ll give you a chance to
serve me, the future wife of your boss. Go bring me some tea!"
''Wife of my boss?''
