Chapter 115
Caleb whispered thest sentence into Nathaniel''s ear, lowering his voice so that Roxanne couldn''t
hear.
She curiously eyed the potbellied middle-aged man.
Weird.
Why would Nathaniel''s boss help her?
Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
Nathaniel listened, his face full of disdain.
He nced at Roxanne.
"She''s just a poor girl from the countryside, no one cares for her. What kind of status could she possibly
have?"
Nathaniel knew Roxanne''s background best.
But what he didn''t know was that Roxanne''s husband was the boss of the Rodriguez Group.
Roxanne became his boss'' wife.
"What status?" Caleb scoffed in his heart: If I spill the beans, you might get a heart attack.
But he couldn''t tell.
Instead, Caleb was prepared to give Nathaniel a good look at what his boss''s wife really looked like.
"No matter who she is, you shouldn''t offend her." Mr. Caleb said as he snatched the car keys from
Nathaniel''s hand.
He hurried to move the car.
Then, he got out of the car and walked over to Roxanne.
"I''m sorry, Ms. Martinez, he was blocking your way."
Roxanne asked directly:
"Why would you help me? And how do you know myst name, do you know me?"
Caleb thought on his feet.
"We don''t know each other. You have the samest name as Nathaniel, right? I heard him call you
Roxanne, right?"
Roxanne nodded, puzzled.
She thought that this fat middle-aged man knew her already.
It turned out that he only learned herst name after hearing Nathaniel call her by her first name.
Caleb continued, "Ourpany is a bigpany and we won''t tolerate bullying women. Ms. Martinez,
you better get going, don''t waste your time."
"Thank you." Roxanne said gratefully, "Yourpany has a good atmosphere, but I don''t know why
you would let such a jerk be the CFO."
As she said this, Roxanne red at Nathaniel.
She continued, "This guy has a terrible personality. He doesn''t even want to take care of his own father,
he''s irresponsible. You let him be CFO, he''s bound to screw you over sooner orter."
"What are you talking about?" Nathaniel was angry, "Are you looking for trouble?"
"Shut up." Caleb held back the angry Nathaniel, "You think life is toofortable? Do you know the
headquarters is watching you, so is the boss of Rodriguez Group. You''re out of luck."
Hearing about his future, Nathaniel immediately got nervous.
"Caleb, what are you talking about, can you rify? Didn''t you promise me three months ago that you
would promote me to be the chief financial officer? Why am I in trouble?"
Roxanne said, "Serves you right!"
At this moment, Nathaniel only cared about his future and had no time to bother with Roxanne.
He chased after Caleb for an exnation.
Caleb saw Roxanne getting into her car and red at Nathaniel again.
"Do you really not know?" Caleb asked.
"How would I know? I''ve been working hard all the time, what did I do wrong to not get promoted?"
Nathaniel replied.
"Do you think it''s just about not promoting you?"
"What else does the headquarters have in mind?"
"Anyway, you just prepare for the worst."
"Caleb, can you just tell me the reason?"
"I can''t reveal too much, just wait for the CEO to announce it."
Watching Roxanne drive away, Caleb quickly returned to the building.
Nathaniel watched his back, feeling very uneasy.
How did he offend the CEO?
It''s over.
What kind of bad oue will he face?
Nathaniel''s heart was filled with unease, and his face was somewhat sad.
Caleb returned to his office and saw Harrison looking at his bookshelf, he hurried over.
"Mr. Harrison."
Harrison casually picked up a copy of "Power and Prosperity", "You read this book?"
"When I have free time, I skim through it. The rtionship between politics and market economy is
"You''ll understand if you read it a few more times."
Harrison sat down and went straight to the point.
"I want to arrange a programmer''s job in the IT department of Investor Complex."
"Mr. Harrison, you want to bring in a friend? Such a small matter, you just need to make a phone call,
no need toe in person."
"Not a friend, it''s me."
"What?"
"You mean, you want to work in the IT department of Investor Complex, and also as a programmer?"
"I have no choice, my wife mighte to see me frequently."
"This..."
"Is there a problem?"
Caleb was at a loss for words.
In the past, Mr. Harrison hardly interfered with Investor Complex''s business.
At most, he would make a phone call to inquire.
Now he''s going toe every day, like a secret inspection.
Caleb felt the pressure.
Harrison continued, "Now, prepare a work pass and ess card for me."
"Alright." Caleb said with a wry smile, "I''ll do it right away."
Harrison stopped Caleb who was about to go work, "The fact that I''m working here, only you know,
don''t leak it."
"I understand."
"Go on, after you finish the work pass, find me a desk."
"What about Nathaniel... how should we deal with it?"
Nathaniel was Roxanne''s half-brother.
As long as he had a little bit of affection for Roxanne, Harrison would consider their kinship and treat
him well.
But Nathaniel really didn''t know better.
He kept causing trouble for Roxanne.
Well, then he can''t me him for being ruthless.
"Let the headquarters send someone over to check his ounts, we''ll talk after that."
The CFO was being audited.
It''s over.
He''s going to get fired.
Mr. Caleb was worried about Nathaniel.
...
Noon.
Just past eleven.
Roxanne, with her homemade creamy mushroom chicken soup, came to the Investor Complex.
Harrison was already in the lobby on the first floor.
He saw Roxanne standing under the zing sun, holding an umbre and a lunchbox through the
floor-to-ceiling windows.
Her slim and tall figure was a feast for Harrison''s eyes.
He strode out, took her umbre, "Why didn''t youe in?"
"Didn''t you say outsiders weren''t allowed in? I could only wait here."
"You cane into the lobby."
He took Roxanne''s hand, ready to take her into the lobby to enjoy the cool air conditioning.
"I''ll stay out here." Roxanne stood still, furrowing her brows slightly, "Harrison, I have some bad news
for you."
"What bad news?"
"Nathaniel is also working at Investor Complex, and he is the CFO. I''m worried that if he sees you here,
he might cause trouble for you, even affecting your job. You worked so hard to find this stable job."
"So what if he''s the CFO? Can he fire me?"
"You don''t know. Today, after you went in, I ran into him. He blocked my car and wouldn''t let me go,
trying to force me to go to the hospital to take care of Sebastian."
"Fortunately, his boss is quite upright, he helped me move Nathaniel''s car, and I was able to drive
away."
"You said his boss is upright, if Nathaniel dares to mess with me, I''ll report him."
Harrison pulled Roxanne inside.
He noticed that she hadn''t eaten yet, so he took her to thepany''s cafeteria.
He bought two employee meals and Roxanne''s creamy mushroom chicken soup.
This was their lunch.
Employee meals are just ordinary food, not too bad, but not delicious.
Harrison preferred Roxanne''s creamy mushroom chicken soup.
"Is it good?"
Roxanne was propping her chin on the table with her elbow, watching him.
"If it wasn''t good, would I have finished it all?" Harrison elegantly wiped his mouth.
"If you like it that much, I''ll bring you some whenever I have time. Harrison, have you noticed? Many of
your female colleagues are sneaking peeks at you."
"Really?"
"Didn''t you notice? Look, there''s one over there, and another one there. Harrison, you''ve been working
here for over two months, have any female colleagues pursued you?"
"Are you afraid I''ll be snatched away by others?" Harrison pinched her nose.
"You''re pinching my nose again." Roxanne red at him, "I''m talking serious with you, has anyone
pursued you?"
"Don''t worry, even if they do, I won''t respond."
At this time, a curly-haired beauty came over and sat next to Harrison, staring at him.
When did such a handsome guy start working at thepany?
Not only was he handsome, but he also had a certain charm in his behavior and speech.
The charm radiating from him hit women''s hearts like a heatwave.
The admiration in the curly-haired beauty''s eyes was obvious.
"Sir, can you give me your contact information?"
Her coquettish voice gave Roxanne goosebumps.
However, she patted the cold Harrison and giggled, "Sir, she wants your contact information. You
should at least say something, don''t be so cold. You won''t make friends being this cold."
"Come here." Harrison motioned Roxanne toe closer.
"For what?" Roxanne leaned in closer.
Harrison''s gaze fell on her face.
His eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He seemed to be dissatisfied with her teasing.
"Did you forget to bring something today?" He touched her face.
"What?" Roxanne hadn''t reacted yet.
The next moment...
Harrison gently pulled her head toward him.
He lowered his head, his sexy lips lightlynding on her smooth cheek.
"You forgot to bring my kiss."
The curly-haired beauty next to him was almost in tears.
It didn''t matter if he didn''t give his contact information, just a word would be fine.
He didn''t need to show off.
"If you already have a girlfriend, you can just say."
Harrisonpletely ignored the curly-haired beauty, his gaze always on Roxanne, his hand always on
the back of Roxanne''s head, "Shouldn''t you do something to show?"
Roxanne understood that Harrison was somewhat dissatisfied with her because she did not clearly
state her identity to the curly-haired beauty.
She smiled, "Okay, I''ll show now, are you satisfied?"
With that, she turned her head and smiled at the curly-haired beauty, "Sorry, this gentleman is already
taken, so he can''t give you his contact information."
With that, she pushed Harrison''s hand away and pulled her neck back.
Only then did Harrison show a satisfied expression, he didn''t even nce at the curly-haired beauty the
whole time.
Roxanne could rest assured.
She waspletely confident.
With Harrison like this, he certainly wouldn''t be snatched away by others.
Harrison suddenly said, "If you''re free tomorrow, bring me soup too."
It was his first day at Investor Complex, and many women wanted his contact information, even hoping
to get close to him.
Only by having Roxannee often could those women who fantasized about him know when to back
off.
"Harrison." Roxanne propped her chin and smiled, "You''re so popr with women, I''m curious how you
managed to stay single until 32?"
"That''s because I was destined to be with you." He pinched her nose again.
"If you keep this up, my nose will be ruined by you." She red at him.
"Isn''t your nose meant for me to pinch?"
"Alright, I have to go. Chloe''s alone at thepany."
"I''ll walk you downstairs."
Harrison took her hand and they left together.
In the parking lot, Harrison still hadn''t let go of her hand.
"You did well today, you deserve a reward." Harrison lifted Roxanne''s chin and kissed her.
But all he did was brush his lips lightly against Roxanne''s.
The soft, sweet sensation was wonderful.
"Harrison." Roxanne giggled, "You''re still not good at kissing."
She stood on her tiptoes, leaned in towards Harrison''s ear, andughed.
"Harrison, dare to go deeper next time?"
"When did you be such a daredevil?" Harrison pinched her nose again.
Sheughed again, "We can''t always just peck each other, that''s too boring, no sparks."
"Girls should be a bit coy." Harrison pinched her nose again.
She covered her nose, ring at him, "Harrison, can you stop pinching my nose all the time?"
Then she said, "I’m already 28, not a little girl anymore, why should I still be so shy?"
Then, standing on her tiptoes, she hugged him around his neck, "Harrison, we can make out slowly
when we get home tonight."
She waved and turned around, "I gotta go, see you."
Harrison couldn''t take his eyes off her,pletely captivated by her slender and tall figure.
Thinking about the evening, Harrison was like a cat on hot bricks, full of anticipation.
The evening came as expected.
Harrison and Roxanne, as usual, returned together to their new home in East Adjacent Estates after
work.
They cooked together, ate together, walked together, and chatted together.
After bathing, Roxanne stood at the bedroom door, just as Harrison was walking from the living room.
Harrison had also taken a bath.
He was holding a cup of water, "Want some water?"
"Sure." Roxanne nodded.
Harrison turned to get her some water.
Roxanne grabbed his cup, "I''ll just drink yours."
Harrison didn''t refuse.
He had used her cup before, they were a couple, no need to be so particr.
After drinking water, Roxanne returned the cup to him, he took the cup and wished her goodnight.
As he turned around, Roxanne, looking at his tall figure, invited him:
"Harrison, wanna crash in my room tonight?"
The implication was clear.
Harrison''s heart raced, and he felt like he was on fire.
Before he could react, Roxanne moved closer, wrapping her arms around his waist.
Her head rested against his back.
"Harrison, let''s stop sleeping in separate rooms."
"Girls being too forward isn''t always a good thing." Harrison turned around, looking at her with deep
affection.
She gave a yful smile, "It''s okay, we''re married."
"You didn''t used to say that." He teasingly touched her nose.
"Things are different now." She pouted a bit.
Tonight, she was adorable, mischievous, proactive, and beautiful.
She had Harrison somewhat smitten.
He wrapped one arm around her slender waist, pulling her close, his voice softened, "How are things
different now?"
In his arms, Roxanne looked up at him and answered without hesitation.
"Now I understand you, I know you''re a man I can spend the rest of my life with, and I want to build a
life with you. That''s why I want to take our rtionship to the next level."
She understood him?
His brow furrowed slightly at her words.
But the passionate Roxanne was already on her tiptoes, arms around his neck, kissing him.
Tonight, she wanted to try a real kiss.
She boldly stuck out her tongue...
