Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

“It’s okay, I understand,” Josephine’s voice came from the desk as she handed him a cup of tea.

Theodore took the teacup and said blandly, “I won’t be eating with you tonight. Moses will pick you up tomorrow evening at seven.”

“Okay.”

Seeing that there were still a lot of pending documents on his desk, she said, “I’ll leave you to work, and I’ll be off. You have problems with your stomach so remember to drink the soup later. It won’t taste good if it’s cold.”

“Mm, okay.”

Theodore had always been a person of few words. In the past, she did not feel anything wrong about it, but recently, the image of him and Everleigh being together would always appear in her mind.

Was he also silent when he was with Everleigh?

Definitely not.

Humans were always greedy. She had felt that she only needed to keep Theodore by her side. Even if there was someone else in his heart, as long as that person could never come back, then it was as if that person never existed. However, once it was truly realized, she could not help but want more.

Once she had him, she wanted all of him, including his heart.

When she left his office, the secretary at the administration desk, June Lawson greeted her, “Goodbye, Miss Bailey.”

Josephine nodded politely and stopped in front of the desk, “Miss Lawson, how much time has Mr. Godfrey spent in the company recently?”

June was slightly surprised, “Quite a lot. He was mostly in the company.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just want you to pay more attention, and remind him to remember to eat well. His stomach is not well. You should heat up the soup in the kitchen later.”

“Yes, alright. I got it.”

“Then, I’m leaving now. Sorry to trouble you.”

“You’re welcome. This is my responsibility.”

After Josephine left, Moses came out of the pantry with a cup of coffee. He saw his cousin rolling her eyes at the administration desk, “If Miss Bailey saw you rolling your eyes, you’ll lose your job.”

June had quite the shock, but when she looked back and saw that it was Moses, she was relieved, “I just can’t stand fake people. It’s obvious that she wants to find out Mr. Godfrey’s usual whereabouts, but she used a lot of excuses in a roundabout way. I really can’t stand it.”

“All women are like this, aren’t they? If it was you, wouldn’t you ask about your boyfriend?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that if you’re in a relationship, but they’re going to get married soon. Why is she still so suspicious of everything? What’s the point?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Moses looked at her calmly and said, “If you could marry the heir of a prestigious family like the Godfrey family at this instance, but you’ll never know the whereabouts of your fiancé. Would you marry him?”

“Yes I would.”

After replying without hesitation, June looked at Moses’ disgusted gaze and said confidently, “He’s a billionaire. If I don’t marry him, I’m an idiot.”

Moses replied calmly, “Obviously, many people think the same.”

Including Josephine.

As night fell, two women laid side by side in the private VIP room of a beauty salon. Their faces were covered with masks, and some advanced beauty devices were attached to their bodies.

“What’s wrong with you today? Are you in a bad mood again?” Josephine’s friend, Amy, who was on the left glanced sideways, “Was your dear Mr. Godfrey involved in a scandal again?”

“What kind of scandal does he even have?” Josephine had a frustrated voice.

After leaving Theodore’s office, she was very upset, so she invited her friend to the beauty salon for some treatments.

“All is good then. Mr. Godfrey is quite a clean person; he’s already considered a special breed. He owns Godfrey Group. He could go out to enjoy himself with as many women he wants but there’s no scandal at all. You should be happy about this.”

“Just because he has no scandals doesn’t mean that he has no one else in his heart.”

“This again,” Amy was clearly not in favor of Josephine’s point, “How many men don’t have any tricks up their sleeves? If you even want to control who’s in his heart, then that’s too much. Everything will be yours once you’ve married him anyway. You just have to bear with it.”

“I’m afraid that something will happen before the wedding.”

“Something will happen before the wedding?”

“Amy,” Josephine suddenly turned her head and said, “Can you get the drug that you told me about last time?”

Amy was startled for a moment, “Yes, I can, but what would you need it for?”

“It’s none of your business. I just need it.”

After saying this, Josephine clenched her fist. She looked up at the ceiling and slowly closed her eyes.

The wedding day was soon, but as long as Everleigh stayed in Ocpeace City, she would not rest easy. Since Everleigh could not be driven away, she had to do something to secure her position.

The next day, it was the birthday celebration of Vanessa Collins of Meyer Group.

The Mountain Hotel was full of guests. Just by looking at the countless luxury cars in the parking lot, people could tell that they were all notable figures within the high society of Ocpeace City.

Moses went to Josephine’s house on time at seven o’clock to pick her up.

When she got in the car, she did not see Theodore. She asked, “Where’s Theodore?”

“Mr. Godfrey has a meeting so he’ll be late. He asked me to send you to the banquet first.”

Upon hearing this, the look in her eyes changed, “It’s already so late, and he still has a meeting?”

Moses kept driving; his expression became awkward as he replied, “There was an emergency meeting at four in the afternoon about the annual acquisition. If you don’t believe it, should I ask my colleagues to send you a video?”

“There’s no need.” Her eyebrows furrowed a little, and she turned to look out of the window.

He let out a sigh of relief in his heart, and fully focused on driving.

It seemed that his cousin was right. Miss Bailey’s demeanor was indeed not the same as before. She was so doubtful and suspicious of things, but he swore that Mr. Godfrey was really in a meeting that day.

When they arrived at the Mountain Hotel, Josephine showed the invitation to the reception, and Moses accompanied her into the banquet hall.

“When will Theodore come?”

Moses braced himself and said, “How about this, Miss Bailey, I’ll call him and ask.”

“Okay. I just don’t think it’s good for him to arrive late on such an occasion.”

“Yes, you’re right. I’ll go now.”

After Moses left the banquet hall, Josephine took a glass of juice and sat down alone at the bar. She did not know any of the guests. The Meyer family was similar to the Godfrey family. Small fries like her would not get in touch with people like them.

Her frustration was due to the fact that this was the first time she had openly attended an event with Theodore. However, he did not come with her. It was as if he had done it on purpose.

Could it be because he knew that Mrs. Godfrey was the one who had created an opportunity for her and was unhappy?

“Did you come to the party alone?” A man’s voice suddenly came from beside her, interrupting her train of thoughts.

Josephine turned her head, and she was astonished.

She had originally thought that Theodore was already a very good-looking man. Despite this, good-looking would not be enough to describe the man in front of her.

He was tall with a fitting black suit, and his figure made him seem like a model. He was looking at her politely and in a gentlemanly manner. Those pair of attractive eyes would surely make any woman give her heart to him willingly.

Women had vanity, and so did Josephine. She could tell at a glance that this man was dangerous, but his advances had also proven that she had charisma to be flirted with by such a handsome man.

She unconsciously combed her fingers through the thin strands of her hair, “No, I’m waiting for my friend.”

“What a coincidence, I’m also waiting for my friend,” the man gave a small smile, his eyes seemingly shining. He took two cups of cocktails from the waiter beside him, “This one is not strong. Would you like a drink?”
