Chapter 7: He Is Mine Now!
Chapter 7: He Is Mine Now!
As soon as he left, the smile on Emily's face became colder. She studied Luz coldly.
If she remembered correctly, this woman was also in the restaurant that day with a little boy.
She knew instinctively that this woman had some history with Henry.
Emily smiled. "I don't care what relationship you had with Henry in the past, but he's now mine. Watch
yourself when you're working with him."
"She's certainly different from what she shows to the public," Luz thought to herself. "Jealousy is an
ugly look on her."
It was terrifying and ugly.
"I would never touch your man, Ms. Hurst." She took two steps back and smiled. "I know you have
powerful backers."
...
Emily snorted arrogantly and glanced at Luz with disdain.
"Emily." Henry's indifferent voice sounded in front of them.
Emily closed her mouth tightly and glared at Luz.
Then she turned around, changing her expression, and followed Henry hurriedly. She took his arm.
"Henry, was Secretary Boone really a surgeon before? What if she's not suitable for the job?"
"Then she's fired." His words were cold.
Luz took a deep breath and forced herself to smile.
"Yeah, I thought so too. MR won't hire useless people even if it's going bankrupt." Emily laughed as she
gloated. "You shouldn't take advantage of her beauty, you know."
...
Henry wrapped his arm around her slender waist and said in a doting tone, "Is she as beautiful as you?
Huh?"
"Come on!"
Luz sighed as she watched them leave.
If she had known that it was Henry who took over the company, she would never have agreed to let her
boss take this investment.
The secretary asked tentatively, "Secretary Boone?"
Luz dropped her gaze and nodded at the secretary. "Sorry, let's go to the office."
Linda's office was a little far from the president's office because she had to take care of other things.
She got someone to tidy up the office beside the CEO office and brought Luz there.
There was everything she needed in the office, which had great lighting and huge French windows.
The only downside was the office connected to the office on the left, with only a pane of glass and
some shutters to separate the two offices. The shutters could only be let down on the CEO side.
She would not have any privacy when the shutters were up.
Linda brought in a box full of important documents and handed them over to Luz. "Ms Boone, this is all
the information about MR over the past year. You can take a look at them, and you can call me on the
internal phone if you have any questions. Also, this is Mr Maynard's schedule for this week."
After Linda left, Luz looked through the schedule.
When she saw the words "Emily", "gala", and "lunch", she averted her gaze and rubbed her temples
bitterly.
Had Emily become his companion over the past seven years?
As you embrace me under the umbrella / Your promises were heavy / And your eyes held so much
kindness...
The mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, which startled Luz. When she saw a familiar short
number, her eyes strained.
Before she went abroad, she kept this number and added enough credit to last for several years. This
was the first time since then she had used this number, and the first person to call her was,
unexpectedly, Madam Maynard.
When she answered the phone, her voice choked for a moment. "Grandma..." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Hello, is it little Luz?"
After really hearing Luz's voice, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief. "You little girl, you made me so
worried! I was so worried about you all these years."
The old lady's words made her very sad. "Grandma, I'm sorry."
"Silly girl, there's no need to apologize to me!" The old lady blamed her a little. "Luz, since you're back,
come and have dinner tonight. I missed you."
After a moment of hesitation, Luz finally agreed.
Madam Maynard had been very kind to her when she was still the daughter-in-law of the Maynard
family. She had treated her just like her own grandmother. She hadn't seen her for seven years, so she
wanted to see if she was doing well.
