Billionaire’s Sweet Wife by Joanna Badldwin
Chapter 67

“Mr. Brown?” Emily blinked, trying to make her head clearer. “What brings you here?”

“I heard that you asked for leave. As a boss, I care about my subordinate, can’t I?” Julian stood there. He seemed to know Emily was peeping through the peephole and suddenly leaned towards it.

Emily was startled by the sudden enlargement of his face and took two steps back.

“You!”

“Emily, are you going to let me stand at the door and talk to you without opening the door?”

“Mr. Brown, I… I’m sick and I’m alone at home. It’s inconvenient for you to come in.” Emily didn’t want to open the door or say anything more to Julian.

Emily thought, ‘I have finished what I should have said long ago. Anyway, nothing good would happen if Julian came here. Fortunately, Mom went out for groceries and wasn’t there. Otherwise… Mom! Speak of the devil!’ As soon as Emily thought of this, she heard a voice from outside, “Who are you?”

“Hello, I’m Emily’s boss. My name is Julian Brown and I am the CEO of Prosperian Company,” said Julian..

“Oh, so you are Emily’s boss!” Emily’s mother, Annie Wilson, immediately said enthusiastically. “Why are you standing here? Emily is at home! Alas! She must have

been sleeping like a log and didn’t Let me open the door!”

At this moment, Annie had to open the door. Emily hurriedly tiptoed back to her room. and closed the room door.

“Sir, please take a seat. Just make yourself comfortable!” Annie greeted Julian warmly, put down the groceries in her hand, and went to call her daughter again. “Emily, Emily, your boss is here!”

There was no reply. Annie turned around and smiled at Julian awkwardly, “Have a seat, please. Emily is a heavy sleeper. I’ll call her again!”

“Really? I thought I heard her just now,” Julian sat down on the sofa and said with a smile.

Emily knew it was useless to hide any longer, so she had to get changed and open the door. “Mom.”

“Emily, your boss is here.” Annie winked at Emily and went to make coffee.

“Mr. Brown.” Reluctantly, Emily walked over and stood there with no intention of sitting down.

Julian crossed his legs, looked up at her, and smiled, “Emily, have you been in poor health recently?”

Hearing this, Annie, who brought the pastries and fruit over, hurriedly said, “No. Emily is in good health.”

“Really? But Emily has been on sick leave a lot lately, and I think something’s wrong with her. That’s why I came to check on her.” Julian pretended to be surprised as if he were surprised by the answer.

“She often asked for sick leave?” Annie was also surprised and turned to look at Emily. “What’s wrong with you? Are you unwell?”

“Mom, I’m fine, Emily frowned and whispered.

Annie didn’t understand these things at work, and Emily didn’t want to bother her mother. So every time Emily asked for sick leave, she would go out to collect materials or replace a place to rest for half a day. Anyway, she had enough money now, so she didn’t mind wasting time with Julian like this.

Emily felt that with their limited patience, she would be fired in a month or so and free.

She didn’t anticipate that Julian would come to her.

“Fine?” Annie raised her hand and patted Emily. “You’ve been acting strange lately, and the company is always on holiday. It turns out that you are lazy! You slack off at work. What else do you want to do?”

As Annie spoke, she patted Emily a few times.

Emily didn’t dodge. She just said helplessly, “Mom, don’t worry about me. I’ll let you

go.

“I don’t want to worry about you, but you have to work hard! Now your boss has come to our house. Tell me, can you make a difference?”

“Mom…” Emily was helpless.

Julian was leisurely watching the fun. He cleared his throat and stopped Annie after Emily was beaten a few times. “Madam, I think Emily has her own reasons. Don’t blame her. I’m not here to blame Emily, but just care about whether she is not feeling well or she has any difficulties.”

“Mr. Brown, can we have a word outside?” Looking at him, Emily was hopping mad.

She really underestimated Julian. He was even meaner than she thought! Julian found her home and used Annie to pressure her.

Anyway, Julian had achieved his goal. He spread out his hands and said, “Okay! Anything!”

Annie had already made coffee. Hearing this, she hurriedly put down the cup and said, “Sir, Emily is a little spoiled by me and sometimes very willful. But she’s still a good girl. If she has been slacking off lately, you can scold her, but she still needs this job!”

“Mom, stop it!” Emily really wanted to rub her forehead. Annie screwed things up.

Glaring at Emily, Annie only felt that her daughter didn’t understand her good intentions.

“Don’t worry. Emily needs this job, and our company also needs Emily,” Julian stood and said with a smile.

“That’s good. That’s good!” Nodding repeatedly, Annie added, “Emily, hurry up and thank your boss.”

Annie wanted to address Julian respectfully, but she couldn’t recall Julian’s last name.

“Mr. Brown, let’s go out and talk!” Emily couldn’t stand it anymore. “Mom, I’ll be right back.”

up

“Okay. Be polite to your boss!” Annie walked to Emily and whispered, with her back to Julian.

Emily and Julian went to the cafe downstairs. Although Julian ordered two cups of coffee, Emily didn’t feel like drinking the coffee at all.

“Mr. Brown, what do you mean? Why did you come to my house?” Emily sounded. unfriendly, and she wasn’t as indifferent as before.

Julian smiled and took a sip of coffee leisurely. “I just care about my subordinate!”

“Well, let’s stop beating around the bush. Mr. Brown, I know what you want, but I’m sorry. I really have no idea about Seraphina’s formula. You know, every perfumer has her own secret recipe. It’s impossible to share it with others, and I’m just her assistant. I still work for Prosperian Company. What makes you think she will believe me?” Julian didn’t interrupt her but looked at her calmly with a smile.

After she finished speaking, Julian nodded and said, “You’re right. But I didn’t come here to ask for the formula. Do you really think Prosperian Company can’t run properly without Seraphina? Do you think if she plays a small trick, we won’t be able to deal with her? You overestimate her!”

Emily really thought Julian was here for what happened before. She hadn’t been to the lab these days, and she didn’t know how things were going. She just wanted them to screw things up. But Julian looked so calm now… Was the problem solved?

Chapter 67

After Vivian was all set, she didn’t receive a call from Mike for a long time. She had a faint bad feeling and went directly upstairs to his room to replace him.

After ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one answered the door. Instead, the chambermaid came and said, “Miss, what can I do for

you?”

“I’m looking for Mr. Mike Larson. He didn’t answer the door and I’m afraid something happened to him,” Vivian said anxiously.

“Oh, you mean Mr. Larson! He went out half an hour ago, the chambermaid replied. with a smile.

“Out? No, it’s impossible!” Vivian didn’t believe it. “We agreed to leave together. He hasn’t called me yet. How can he…”

Something suddenly occurred to Vivian, and she began to panic.

She thought, ‘Is it because of my refusal? No, it can’t be! Didn’t Mike say that he wouldn’t force me if I was unwilling?

‘He won’t refuse to take me to the perfumery conference just because I turned him down before, will he?

‘I also have an invitation, but that’s way different from showing up together with him.

Thinking of this, Vivian hurriedly took out her phone and called Mike. Yet, no matter how she called, it couldn’t get through. Facing the closed door, she finally realized that he stood her up.

Mike wanted her to know that she would get nothing from him if she refused.

Vivian gritted her teeth and saw that time was running out. So she had to take a car to the venue first.

“Are you going to go like this? Looking at the plain Seraphina, Mia was dissatisfied.

“Isn’t it good?” Seraphina looked down at her dress. Although it was a simple style, it showed simplicity and elegance.

“No, it’s not good at all!” Mia shook her head and said disapprovingly, “We went there on behalf of the company. You look good in this dress because you are good-looking, but it’s too humiliating for the company.”

“Then what shall I do? Shall I change it?” Seraphina didn’t bring a lot of clothes with her. It was not very cold here. Besides, she only had to attend the event for one day and

went out on a field trip the other time. Hence, she mainly brought casual clothes.

“I’ve seen your clothes, but none of them will do! Here’s the deal. You wear mine.”

Then Mia turned to get her clothes.

Yours?”

“What? Is there any problem? I’ve checked it. Your figure is almost the same as mine. Although my clothes are not brand-new, I have only worn them once. Is there anything wrong?” As Mia spoke, she pulled out a long black dress from her suitcase.

The hemline was a little long, but fortunately. Seraphina was tall and the dress fit her well. In addition, the black dress was attached to her tanned skin in a harmonious way, which made her dazzlingly beautiful.

“Is… that appropriate?”

was

Seraphina had not participated in such an event for a long time since she was with Julian, let alone wore such a dress.

At that time, she was willing to live an ordinary and stable life. She wanted the simplest happiness, but even so, it was still difficult to get what she wanted.

“What’s wrong with it?” Mia was extremely satisfied after turning Seraphina around. “I think this dress looks better on you, so I’ll give it to you.”

“No.”

“Hey, don’t be shy. It’s not like when you first came here.” Pretending to be angry, Mia said. “As long as you don’t dislike my dress, just wear it! It’s almost time. Let’s go.”

Seraphina laughed. If they weren’t in a hurry, she really wanted to ask Mia what she looked like when she first came here.

Mia was shocked to see the Rolls-Royce again.

She was astonished when she saw this car at the airport. The company was really generous this time!

Mia had been working in Aroma Delight for a long time and she had been on business trips many times. Yet, she hadn’t been treated like this ever before. Normally, the company would only arrange a Mercedes-Benz or BMW for her.

Later, when Mia returned to the hotel, she called Darian specially. She was afraid that there had been a mistake and whether the company would receive any big shots here. However, Darian reassured her that the company attached great importance to this event and asked them to do their job well and enjoy the highest standards of treatment

throughout the whole trip.

Mia thought it was enough to fly in first class and to be picked up by a Rolls-Royce at the airport, but she didn’t expect that they would go to the event in the same car again! This was so extravagant!

Compared with Mia’s surprise, Seraphina had changed from surprise to calmness. It was just another little trick of Dashiell.

This was really amazing for ordinary employees of Aroma Delight, but it was nothing to Dashiell.

Seraphina wanted to call Dashiell in the afternoon, but his phone was turned off. She thought he must be busy. Maybe he was in a meeting?

When Seraphina snapped back to reality, she realized that she was thinking about Dashiell again.

Not long after she left, she had thought of him countless times. This kind of missing was silent, but it was like a huge invisible net that tightly wrapped her up.

‘Dashiell, I miss you!’ thought Seraphina.

“Seraphina, I heard that there will be several famous top perfumers at this perfumery conference. In fact, we are mainly going there to view and emulate. Don’t stress yourself out. Speak less and watch more.” After all, Mia was experienced. She was introducing the perfumery conference and reminding Seraphina.

“Alright. Got it,” Seraphina nodded and replied.

Hearing Seraphina’s consent, Mia nodded and continued, “I will introduce you to some peers in the industry later, but don’t take it too seriously. As you know, two of a trade never agree. This rule is universal everywhere. Just be careful.”

As Mia spoke, Seraphina nodded. After Mia finished speaking, Seraphina suddenly asked, “Mia, we are also peers in the same industry. Is there any problem?”

Mia rolled her eyes at Seraphina.

Seeing the smile on her face, Mia knew that Seraphina was joking.

Mia snorted, “You? You are not qualified yet. People will only be green-eyed with

talents.

“That makes sense! Seraphina laughed.

“You, be serious!” Mia also laughed after gently pushing her.

More than half a month ago, they were still at loggerheads. It was hard to imagine that they had become best friends now. The friendship between women was sometimes unpredictable.

The perfumery conference was held in Marblefay Hotel, the most magnificent hotel in Kweaville. Although it was only a small-scale event in the industry, it also attracted many reporters. Cameras had been set up early and the reporters were all set for the important scenes.

Cars would stop at the gate of the hotel. After getting out of the car, the guests would walk all the way into the hotel along the red carpet.

Under the dazzling lights, someone always wanted to be the center of attention. At this moment. Vivian was sitting in the car. Looking across the street, she was reluctant to let the driver drive over.
