Cheat with my boyfriend best friend by Jane E.L.

Chapter 376 I Need to Know

Charlotte was a good girl, and the way she carefully chose her words made me feel like she was thinking about me all the time

Yet that was precisely why I couldn't take her advice and actually ask Aaron to do that

In fact, I could fully understand why TWH assigned the cooperation with Lorna Jewelry Group to my team

TWH was divided into a number of research teams. The core members of each team had different research directions, and the others were mainly responsible for coordinating the work

The core member of my team was missing while

I was away. The other members of my team had no experience in independent research, so of course, they wouldn't be entrusted with the important development of new drugs

However, research and development performance was an important part of researchers' salaries, and no project meant that they would lose some of their income. Given that, Aaron giving them the project cooperating with Lorna Jewelry Group, a project that had little research value but could earn a lot of money, was actually a form of welfare that protected them

The whole thing started because of me. My leaving put them in such an awkward position

Now that they were finally about to have a decent income, if I stopped what they were doing because of my selfish search for research value, I would feel bad and I couldn't face my

conscience

"It's fine, Charlotte. You know I've always been a person who separates work and private affairs perfectly. Besides, I hate to let someone else handle a half-finished project my team has been working on. Go and prepare all the materials for the project. I'll get a general overview of it today, and I'll work with you all tomorrow."

I smiled at Charlotte. She hesitated, and I stated again that I would not turn down the project because of Vega's attitude towards me. Then she finally nodded and left to prepare all the project materials for me

Actually, I wasn't lying. Even though Vega was hostile to me deeply, what going on between me and her was all personal

Lorna Jewelry Group had branches all over the

world, and its Italian headquarters was worth millions of dollars. A large group like that wouldn't make it difficult for its partners because of personal grievances. Besides, I assumed that they would send a professional team to work with us to complete the development project, so the possibility of me seeing Vega was probably close to zero

With such an attitude, I actually accepted the cooperation very easily. Moreover, I wasn't someone who failed to separate work and life

While reading the cooperation case and research and development materials, I had long forgotten that our partner was related to Vega

For me, it was just an ordinary drug research

The only difference was that the products had changed from some simple pharmaceuticals to jewelry with health features

However, after I got home, I still gave Aaron the cold shoulder and didn't talk to him for entirely two hours

The eighth time he came to me and called me "Dear Olive" and "my sweetheart", I pressed my palm against his chest and asked, acting angry deliberately, "Before I went back to the company, you offered so many times, wanting me to work in another lab, and you even wanted to transfer me from the research and development position. It was all because you didn't want me to know that my team was working with Lorna Jewelry Group, right?"

I admitted that I sometimes might be blinded by love, yet I was never a fool when it came to certain things

With a little bit of context and imagination, I could tell easily about the reason for Aaron's

unusual behavior

Sure enough, after I voiced my doubts, he smiled awkwardly and rascally buried his head in my breasts, "Darling, of course, I was afraid you'd misunderstand me. Yet you know that I'm a businessman, and the benefits she offers are ..

so much. Well, rest assured that I don't have any feelings for her at all. In fact, if 1 had known you wanted to go back to work at the company, I would never have accepted the deal."

"Doesn't the businessman's wife have a right to know?"

I tapped him on his head, putting on a long face with great difficulty and trying not to laugh

This time, Aaron was all positive about admitting he was wrong. He said with a straight face that he just didn't want to upset me, the

pregnant woman, and rubbed his head against my neck like a clingy golden retriever seeking my forgiveness

I found it impossible to pretend any longer. I could only helplessly hold his cheeks, look him in the eye, and say seriously, "Aaron, like I said last time, I wouldn't misunderstand you again

However, there's one premise. You've got to offer me enough sense of security. I really need to know."

Aaron didn't say anything. He simply wrapped his arms around me and kissed me between the eyes, heating up the atmosphere. Then he kissed my eyes, the tip of my nose, and finally my lips hard. He was almost biting my lips, telling me how much he cared about me and his promises to me with his actions while devouring all my discontent at the same time
