Chapter 007
“Jerome, why did you give my mom so much money?” When they went downstairs, Camille dared to ask cautiously. Why he gave so much money? Was this because he cares about her, or was he used to measuring others with money? “Nothing. It’s all for you anyway.”
Jerome’s attitude was always light. He told her to get in the car and fasten the safety belt. He directly started the car, but his brows were always frowning. In retrospect, he did not expect that.
In the face of Irene, a greedy and eccentric woman, he was so angry.
As for the extra money… Just took it as compensation for Camille. “But…” Camille still wanted to talk. When he saw his expression, the guilt that had just poured down his throat was swallowed. She didn’t know how to compensate for taking so much money for nothing. When she got home, Jerome told her to have more rest. After a while, she went out again.
She was so confused that she couldn’t sleep as she tossed and turned in bed. The next morning, Camille got up from bed with a pair of panda eyes. After thinking for a whole night, she estimated that she could only help Jerome work for a lifetime to repay the five million Yuan. “Madam, I have prepared breakfast. Are you up?” Outside the door came HEDY’s voice. “I see, HEDY, I’ll be right over.”
Camille quickly got up. She washed and dressed. She went downstairs to find Jerome sitting at the table enjoying breakfast. Her pace slowed down unconsciously. The relationship with Jerome seemed to have suddenly changed from husband to creditor, although there was not much marital love between the two. Jerome looked upstairs and didn’t pay much attention to her. After breakfast, he got up and wiped his hands with a napkin. His tone was as plain as ever, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
“OK, I’ll be right there!”
Camille didn’t dare to ask him to wait, so he hurried out after breakfast.
As previously agreed, Jerome let her off at the intersection. Camille hurried back to the company and was about to punch in when she heard the comments of her colleagues. “Look, there is some big man supporting her. It’s so different. The new president promoted her to be a secretary on the first day of taking office. Not everyone has such treatment.”
“Maybe it’s not because there’s someone supporting her. Maybe it’s because they have some good Kung Fu. That’s why they successfully hook up with the president!”
Maggie also heard the gossip and angrily tried to reason with them.
Camille pulled the man in time. “Maggie, forget it. We can’t control it if they want to.”
“These people can only gossip!” Maggie glared. “I’m leaving. I’m going to work.” After staying in the company for so long, she naturally knew the infighting among her colleagues and had long been used to it. Back in the office, she rearranged the documents Jerome had asked her to prepare and planned to send them to him.
From today on, she would work hard to pay off the money she owed as soon as possible! “… Jerome, Gwen’s operation had been decided. Did you arrange it? Did you ask your assistant to send a sum of money to the woman to compensate her?” Camille was about to knock at the door of the president’s office when he came to the door. There was a conversation inside. It sounded familiar. This voice… Seemed to have been heard when she married Jerome. But what were they talking about?
What made an assistant give money, but also reduced guilt? And… Who was Gwen? Didn’t she know all these things? Camille felt uneasy at the bottom of her heart and stuck it on the door panel to hear more clearly, but suddenly her side was empty and the door was opened! Camille was startled and fell forward unprepared. At the critical moment, a pair of powerful hands held her, and a joking voice came from overhead, “Why is my sister-in-law here? Is it difficult? My sister-in-law is eavesdropping on us?”
“No, no”.
The title “sister-in-law” made her blush at once, and she quickly stood firm. “Please don’t call me that!” The man in front of her was Jerome’s good brother, Karen! She looked around nervously and saw that no one else, so she was relieved. Fortunately, she was not found. Karen looked at her neurotic expression. He knew Camille’s character better. Her personality was not the type Jerome would like. It was the Johnson family who took a fancy to her simplicity. Otherwise, how could Jerome marry her?
“Sister in law, you -”
“Camille, what are you doing out there?” Jerome’s voice came from the office, cold and unhappy! He really didn’t expect that Camille would dare to be so ambiguous with others in front of her! The last time he was outside the police station, he had already hinted at her. This woman was completely indifferent! Although they were only nominal husband and wife, Camille can’t have consciousness that a married woman should have.
“No, nothing!” Camille suddenly regained her awareness and quickly stood away from Karen. She looked at him apologetically, and immediately handed over the information to Jerome. “President, this is the information I sorted out before. Please have a look. If there is nothing else, I will go out.” Jerome opened the files and looked down. “Are you sure you’ve read all these files?”
“Yes, I have.” Camille was stunned. “President, is there a problem?”
“Then you really should see it again!” Jerome “snapped” the contract and said, “The details of the contract of Zhongchuan entertainment have not been settled, so it has not been……
