After Divorce, She Married a Billionaire

Back in Eugene ‘s office, a layer of sweat broke out on my forehead. I slumped in my office chair. Eugene casually threw me two tissues and said, “Yuan Haoran will symbolically serve two weeks in jail.”

I calmed down the heavy breath in my chest, turned my head, and said apologetically: “I’m sorry, in fact, you are the one who was hurt the most in this matter, but you let the bad guy go for me.”

Eugene shrugged, “Maybe I owed you in my last life, and I’m here to pay it back in this life.”

I sighed, unable to say anything.

Eugene pushed a bottle of lemon drink towards me and asked, “What are you going to do next?”

What should I do next? I really haven’t thought about this question.

Now, Jacqueline successfully rescued Yuan Haoran from defeat and even threw dirty water on my head once again; and Dean quit his job at CE Group , leaving me here alone to perform a one-man show, and even went to my father’s company under the banner of loyalty and filial piety.

No matter how you think about it, I am the one who is bound to die.

Eugene grabbed the bottle of lemon drink again, unscrewed the cap with his left hand, pushed it in front of me again, and said, “When you were a child, you didn’t let others bully you like this. Why are you so cowardly now?”

I turned my head and said weakly, “Since you left, I’ve become less domineering. No one dares to bully me, and since you left school, I don’t need to pretend to be strong to protect anyone. As time goes by, things calmed down…” I thought about it and continued, “By the way, why did you leave without saying goodbye? You left so suddenly without even saying hello! That’s so mean…”

Eugene seriously , and I thought he would give me an answer, but his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he casually said to me, “I said goodbye, but you forgot…”

“But I…” I was about to say something, but Eugene stood up, grabbed my collar, and said, “Let’s go to the cafeteria for lunch.”

Go to the cafeteria to eat lunch? Did I hear it right? His famous chairman Eugene , who never eats in the cafeteria and never eats with others, is actually going to the company cafeteria to eat lunch?

I couldn’t believe it, and asked blankly, “Are you sure? The company cafeteria? Or… the western restaurant downstairs?”

He continued to pull my collar and walked out, “Canteen.”

So, I followed him to the company cafeteria for some unknown reason, and when Eugene appeared in the cafeteria hall, all the employees were excited.

This is the lunch break time, and almost all employees of the entire group are here.

CE Group is a well-known good place because the chefs all come from five-star hotels and they offer a wide variety of Chinese and Western cuisine.

In the time I have been at CE Group , I have hardly heard of any employee going out to eat or ordering takeout at noon, because the company’s restaurant is so good and inexpensive.

After entering the hall, I followed Eugene all the way and hid behind him. He found a seat by the window and after sitting down, he pointed to the seat in front of him and said, “Sit down.”

I sat down quickly and said attentively, “What do you want to eat? I’ll go order for you!”

Eugene wiped his hands with wet wipes and said, “No, someone will bring it.”

Well, someone sent…

I didn’t say anything and just sat quietly opposite him. I felt extremely uncomfortable and accepted the gazes of the employees around me.

All of them were looking in the direction of Eugene and me , and some were even taking pictures!

Among them are members of the photography team, and of course, Jacqueline .

Jacqueline was sitting not far from us. I really admired her. She had just finished acting out a suicide scene, but now she was still in the mood to eat! Couldn’t she act out the whole scene? It had only been a few minutes, less than 20 minutes!

After a while, Eugene ‘s secretary came to Eugene and me with a little follower .

I saw they were holding plates, so I quickly invited them, “Come on! There’s room here!”

I thought to myself that if other colleagues came here to eat together, I could relax a little. Otherwise, it would be strange for Eugene and I to be alone together.

But the secretary just respectfully placed the plates in front of Eugene and me , one for me and one for him.

After putting it away, the secretary bowed and said, ” Mr. Johnson , Miss Jones , please enjoy your meal.”

Eugene nodded, and the secretary left with his little follower.

Now, those colleagues who were watching the fun started talking even more fiercely.

I pricked up my ears and heard some scattered gossip.

“No way… She was just accused of being the one who poisoned Jacqueline . Not only did Mr. Johnson not fire her, he even had dinner with her? What the hell is going on!”

“Hey! You don’t understand this! Women are cute only when they are a little bit bad. Although Candice is a bit sinister, Mr. Johnson likes her! Just tell me, among all the women around Mr. Johnson in these years, which one has been recognized by him? Didn’t they all come in smooth and leave in disgrace? If you ask me, you need to use different strategies to pursue a chaebol!”

“You can do it, right? Even if Mr. Johnson wants something new, he can’t date a married, pregnant, and scheming woman! I don’t believe it anyway!”

“Tsk, believe it or not, Mr. Johnson has already brought her out for dinner. Doesn’t this clearly tell us that we can’t bully this woman!”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

After listening to these nonsensical mumblings and looking at the mouth-watering delicacy in front of me, I really couldn’t eat any of it.

Eugene took a fork and pointed at something in front of me, saying, “Did I call you here just to let you stare blankly?”

I raised my head dejectedly, “I can’t eat…”

He put down the fork in his hand and said seriously, “I am here to help you find your appetite?”

Hearing his tone that was totally wrong, I reacted immediately. I hurriedly picked up the knife and fork and started to help him cut the steak on the plate. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I forgot, I forgot to serve you dinner…”

Eugene shook his head helplessly, and suddenly said: “I didn’t ask you to come here just to enslave you.”

I quickly cut the steak and asked, “Anything else you need? Do you need some water? Or anything else?”

He looked at me unhappily and said, “If I don’t bring you here, you won’t be able to stand up straight in the company in the future.”

Suddenly, my two hands froze at this moment.

Yes, if Eugene hadn’t dragged me to the company cafeteria today, I would probably be scolded wherever I go in the future.

Now that I have his support, no one dares to do anything to me.

My heart couldn’t help but feel aching. I thought I could control myself, but I couldn’t help it and tears burst out.

Tears fell onto the plate in front of me. My steak… is inedible…

Eugene sighed helplessly. He reached out and threw the plate in front of me aside. Then he placed the steak I cut for him in front of me and said, “Stop crying, it’s shameful to waste food.”

I put down my knife and fork and wiped away my tears.

It’s so strange, Candice , when did you become so fragile?

I sniffed and said, “Thank you…”

Eugene threw me two clean white tissues and urged me, “Eat quickly so you can go upstairs after you finish eating.”

After the meal, I followed Eugene back to the office, and along the way, the employees I met all had a significant change in their attitude towards me.

I have to say that the word “snobbish” was born for the workplace.
