Chapter 75


    This was his first time arguing with a girl, and he found it quite amusing.


    Owen stubbornly denied that it was Cecilia''s boldness to argue with him that intrigued him, which is


    why he tolerated her audaciousness.


    "I''ve been in love with a woman for over a decade, so you don''t need to worry. Even if you want to


    marry me, I will refuse."


    "Is the woman you love still hung up on Mr. Coleman? He''s Lucinda''s man. They''re already married,


    and they''ve done the paperwork. Even if it''s not public, it doesn''t change the fact that they''re legally


    husband and wife. You should tell your girl to give up."


    Owen asked gloomily, "Where did you hear that?"


    "I saw you taking people to confront Lucinda the other day, I heard it all."

    Owen finally got it. No wonder this woman knew so much.


    "It''s none of your business."


    "Interesting, as if I am dying to meddle in your affairs. What on earth do I have to do with you? Why


    should I care about your matters?"


    Owen was left speechless.


    He must be sick, fever messing with his head, that''s why he was left speechless by this woman.


    He stopped talking, and so did Cecilia.


    After a while, Owen suddenly said, "Ruby will be hereter. Could you y along with me? If you


    do, I''ll let you go. You don''t have to be my maid anymore, and I won''t bother you in the future."


    Cecilia was about to mop the floor, but when she heard this, she stopped and looked at him, asking,


    "You want me to pretend to be your lover to make Ruby pissed off and leave, or do you want Ruby


    to be irritated and jealous?"


    Owen kept silent, which was pretty much a confirmation.


    He was thinking, “Is she a mind reader?”


    "I''d rather continue to be your maid."


    Cecilia started mopping the floor again.


    Owen was stunned. He didn''t expect Cecilia to refuse.


    "I can pay you."


    "Do I look like the kind of girl who would sell herself for money? I am a decent girl."


    "A thousand dors."


    Cecilia continued to mop the floor.


    Owen raised the price, "Ten thousand dors."


    Cecilia kept mopping.


    Owen raised the price again, "Twenty thousand dors."


    Cecilia stopped, saying, "Mr. Martinez, it''s not about the money. I don''t want to be harassed by your


    beloved. Lucinda and I are close friends, and we own the Serendipity Cafe together. Ruby sees


    Lucinda as a rival, and she would definitely make trouble for Lucinda from time to time. If I y


    along with your game, Ruby will also see me as a rival and keep causing me trouble. Lucinda has


    Mr. Coleman to protect her, but I don''t."


    "I can guarantee your safety. I won''t let Ruby harm you."


    Owen just wanted to see Ruby''s reaction when she saw him being good to other women.


    Although she was always critical of his secretaries, those women did make mistakes. It didn''t prove


    that she truly cared about him.


    "Cecilia, just cooperate with me and I''ll give you one hundred thousand dors. Once the show is


    over, I''ll transfer the money to your ount immediately and promise that Ruby won''t harm you."


    One hundred thousand dors!


    "Act along with me, you won''t lose out. With such conditions, many women out there would want to


    be in a scandal with me."


    He never sought women outside to act with him, because he was afraid they would y their roles


    too well and he would end up stuck with them.


    Cecilia was Lucinda''s friend. Lucinda was Stefan''s wife. Stefan was his enemy, so Cecilia was his


    enemy.


    She definitely wouldn''t get entangled with him because of this.


    Spending one hundred thousand dors to test Ruby''s feelings for him, Owen thought it was worth


    it. After all, he was loaded.


    "If you''re afraid I''ll go back on my word, I can transfer the money to your ount first."


    Cecilia immediately gave Owen her bank ount number.


    Owen was speechless. Didn''t she say she wouldn''t sell herself for money? What about her


    principles?


    But he still transferred one hundred thousand dors to Cecilia''s ount quickly.


    Cecilia received a notification from her bank, checked it, confirmed that she really received one


    hundred thousand dors, and immediately showed a smile.


    "Actually, I wanted to be an actress before, but my parents disagreed. However, I''ve always had a


    dream of bing an actress. Since Mr. Martinez thinks so highly of me, I will do my best to


    cooperate with Mr. Martinez and try my acting skills. Who knows, I might win an Oscar."


    Owen couldn''t help but roll his eyes. How could she be so happy about money?


    "Start cleaning!"


    "Sure!"


    Cecilia easily made one hundred thousand dors and happily started cleaning.


    Owen watched her happy face, feeling upset but unable to say anything.


    After all, it was him who took the initiative to offer her money and asked her to cooperate with him.


    It was his own decision that ended up hurting him.


    After Cecilia finished cleaning, she cheerfully went into the kitchen to cook for Owen.


    Owen seemed to hear her talking on the phone with Lucinda in the kitchen. Although he couldn''t


    hear clearly, he heard herughter.


    Did she think he couldn''t hear herughing because she covered her mouth?


    His ears were sharp.


    After Lucinda finished her call with her friend, she stared nkly at theputer screen.


    After a while, she pped her thigh and said to herself, "Right, that’s a new writing topic!"


    Would Cecilia regret telling her friend about this if she knew her friend was going to write a new


    article with her and Owen as the protagonists?


    No time like the present.


    Lucinda immediately closed her previous file, created a new one, and started writing a new article.


    The protagonists were set as a bickering couple.


    They were at odds at first, then fell madly in love, and then others came to destroy it, haha, it would


    definitely be a bestseller!


    Stefan fed her a seedless grape.


    Lucinda came back to her senses.


    She looked up to see the man''s deep eyes, eating the grape in her mouth, she asked, "What''s up?"


    Stefan smiled and asked her, "I should be the one asking that. You were giggling over there like a


    mouse stealing something. Look, everyone''s looking at you."


    Lucinda looked around at the customers in the shop.


    My god, when did so many people starting here?


    Indeed, all eyes were on her.


    She had been daydreaming about her new work bing a hit, about the money she was about to


    make, money she wouldn''t be able to count. She couldn''t help butugh out loud, did this scare the


    customers?


    "It''s nothing, I just called Cecilia and she told me a few jokes. Thinking about them just cracks me


    up, haha, really funny."


    Everyone thought, “Oh, so that''s it.”


    They thought there was something wrong with the boss of this shop. Because she suddenly burst


    intoughter. It sounded terrible.


    Lucinda thought, is myughter really that weird?


    When everyone''s attention was no longer on her, Lucinda signaled her boyfriend with a flick of her


    finger.


    The guy came over immediately.


    Lucinda quickly nted a kiss on his face.


    "Babe, let me tell you something funny. Your rival actually spent a hundred grand to get Cecilia to


    act with him, trying to provoke Ruby, to see if Ms. Scott has feelings for him."


    Stefan couldn''t believe hispetitor would do something so stupid!


    At this moment, Owen thought, “Who are you calling stupid?”
