Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 54
Ding-a-ling…
Lumma’s phone in her pocket received a WhatsApp video request.
It was from Harry. Before Lumma could switch it to the audio call, she heard his roar. “Where did you go? Aren’t you going home tonight?”
Lumma immediately turned down the volume. “Oh, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I just wanted to call you, but something came up.”
Adam could no longer hear what Harry was saying and only heard Lumma coaxing him with a good temper.
Was her marriage not as happy as he had seen?
Lumma coaxed for a long time before Harry and Ruby let go. After hanging up, she met Adam’s eyes again.
She felt the cold killing intent in his gaze.
Adam lit another cigarette. Under the flickering light of the fire, he said slowly, “Does tht person always treat you so badly?”
“Yeah.” Lumma nodded, then shook her head. “No. This is a way of our communication. The closer relationship I have with someone, the more casual when we get along. And I’ll be polite to someone I have a bad relationship with.”
She would be polite to someone she had a bad relationship with?
It was just like her relationship with Adam now.
No matter what occasion and any time, Lumma always greeted Adam with a smile.
This thought added fidgety to Adam. “How did you know each other?”
He didn’t mention the name, but Lumma knew who he was talking about Harry. “We met on a blind date.”
“Blind date?” Adam thought of his marriage. He and his wife were also considered meeting on a blind date.
If nothing had happened in Nocalo, and he hadn’t left his wife alone, wouldn’t his
marriage have failed now?
“Young people nowadays are consumed with work and have no time to date someone. So blind date is the fastest, most direct, and effective way to get married.” It might be because the conversation went well. Lumma temporarily forgot Adam was her boss. She even boldly asked him about something expressly forbidden, “Mr. Hills, how did you and your wife meet?”
Adam didn’t want to mention that woman again. But he still answered, “We are considered blind dates.”
“You are so good. Do you still need to go on a blind date?” Lumma suddenly realized that it was because he was great that he would go on a blind date.
The wealthy and powerful families would unite through marriages and become stronger. Benefits should be kept in the family.
“But Mr. Hills, don’t be sad. My grandma once told me that a divorced couple had no destiny in the past life. If there is destiny, they will be husband and wife in the next life.”
“Really?” He smoked a cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said, “Lumma, ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
remember what I told you.”
Lumma asked, “What did you tell?”
Adam put out the cigarette and met her eyes. “You are my assistant whether in my life or at work. I never allow anyone to bully my man. You don’t have to be afraid of Anita
and the Hawes family.”
In an instant, it was as if something knocked lightly on Lumma’s heart. It was a strange feeling that Lumma couldn’t describe.
It seemed a little bitter but also a little sweet. It was bittersweet…
“From now on, as long as you are still working by my side, Hills Group will always protect you.” Adam’s voice was as deep and powerful as ever. “Do you remember?”
“Got it. Thank you, Mr. Hills!” Lumma took his words to heart.
Now Lumma realized why Adam said fiercely at noon today that she never remembered what he had said. It turned out that he had heard what Anita said.
Adam suddenly stretched out his hand, wanting to rub her head. But ultimately, he
withdrew his hand at the thought of their identities.
He couldn’t figure out his emotions. In the end, he got himself together and said, “It’s
late. Go back and rest.
