"You're pissed at me."Jemma bit her lip, staying tight-lipped."I told you, this is a freakin' work trip. No funny business," he muttered in his low, serious tone."I thought I could at least help you and..." spend some time together, she mumbled, unable to get the whole sentence out.He wiped away the tears from her eyes, saying, "Didn't I tell you to chill and have a good time?""Without you?" She shot him a glare."What's your deal then? You want me to ditch work and go on a vacation with you?"Jemma got ticked off by his response and shoved him away. She stood up to the bolt, but he snagged her wrist to halt her."Let go of me," she snapped, still steaming."Let me show you something. It's gonna make up for everything," he said."I don't wanna see anything," she grumbled."But I want you to."He started dragging her towards the door, and she started protesting."Cut it out, Jimmy. I ain't up for this. I don't wanna see anything."“Shut up.”He shoved her into the car and hit the

"Happy?" he asked, pulling out a cigarette. Jemma stood shyly beside him, her gaze fixed on the dancing aurora."Thank you," she said. To thaw her anger that seemed meaningless now, he had taken her on a long and challenging drive to this mesmerizing place. Was she truly that special to him?With this single gesture of his, all her grievances dissipated. She witnessed the aurora and shared a lengthy drive with him, and her anger transformed into happiness. She looked down, a bashful smile playing on her lips."You wanted to see it, right? Feast your eyes, 'cause we're heading back to Vento City soon," he said, taking a deep drag on his cigarette."Is the job done here?" she asked, eyeing him."Don't sweat the details. Just focus on keeping that smile on your face," he replied.Jemma gulped, "Why though?""Because I like seeing you happy. And if there's ever a reason for those eyes to well up, I'll make damn sure it disappears," he said, flicking ash and taking another puff. Jemma coul
Billionaire's Abused Wife 307. How have you been?
As the cigarette packet emptied, Noah drove them back, reaching the apartment in two hours. Jemma took off his blazer, observing him as he headed straight for the whiskey counter and poured himself a drink. Seeing his indifference, she voiced her concern, "Enough, Jimmy. You've smoked a lot, and now... drinking?""You go and sleep. We might leave tomorrow morning.""And what about you?""I'm fine.""That's not the answer to all my questions," she snapped, growing irritated. He looked at her."What's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you're just pretending to be nice with me?"Noah gulped down the alcohol and headed straight to the study room, leaving her with unanswered questions.Jemma couldn't tolerate his indifference and followed him into the study room.Noah was lighting up a cigarette."Jimmy, I'm asking something," she said."I said, sleep." He said while taking a deep drag, turning away. Unfazed, Jemma approached him, "And I said stop smoking and drinking.""It's none of your

Jemma nodded, clearly emotional, wanting to throw herself into his arms, and simultaneously, hit him for not contacting her."You're back.""Hmm, last night. You were asleep.""You should have woken me up.""It's okay. I know you were managing everything on your own, which must have been tiring for you.""It's my job.""Lianne Pal wants to speak with you tonight about the cosmetic distribution thing.""Is she in Vento City yet?""Yeah, we rolled into town last night.""Together..?""I dropped her off at her hotel, then headed back to our place. That's why I was kind of late last night."Jemma chewed her lip and clutched the files even tighter.Why did it give her a weird vibe?"Alright, I'll be ready for the meeting."Noah gave her a pat on the shoulder and left.Jemma felt stressed, not because of the meeting, but because of Noah's vibe about Lianne Pal.Jemma understood that Noah personally handled the collaboration thing, making this business quite important to him. She was determi

Undeterred, Jemma leaned forward, a spark of determination in her eyes. "But trust builds loyalty, and loyal customers stick around. The initial investment in free samples will pay off in the long run when customers become advocates for our brand."Lianne sighed, realizing this debate wasn't going to be easily resolved. "Look, Miss Jemma, I get your point, but we can't just throw profits out the window. We need a strategy with financial sustainability."The two women locked eyes, each holding their ground in this battle of business philosophies. The room was filled with tension, as the fate of the Brooklyn Group's marketing strategy hung in the balance.Lianne glanced at Liam, who stood speechless, "It's not a meeting. It's a waste of time. I haven't arrived here to learn what trust is. Where is Mr. Johnson?"Liam stammered, "He... He will join you in a while..."Lianne, visibly frustrated, stood up abruptly. "Tell Mr. Johnson that I am really unhappy with his wife's performance. She
Billionaire's Abused Wife 310. Stay out of it
Jemma kept waiting for Noah until it was time to go home, but he did not return. Finally, Liam came to remind her to leave."Madam, it's late. You know Mr. Johnson doesn't like you to do overtime," Liam suggested.Jemma looked at her watch and asked, "Has he returned?""Not yet.""Didn't he have a meeting with Miss Pal?""Miss Pal had reached Ang City, and they are about to have a meeting there.""Isn't it late?""You know how he neglects time for work. You better go home. The driver is waiting for you," Liam advised.Feeling a sense of disappointment, Jemma sadly returned to the apartment.In Ang City…In a luxurious suite, Noah lounged on the couch, leisurely crossing his legs. He had an aura of charm and magnetism, the smoke from his cigarette swirling around him. Dressed in a white suit and matching pants, he looked effortlessly elegant.Across from him, Lianne Pal sat, captivated by his presence. Her pretty face was adorned with a slight blush and a sparkle in her eyes, reflectin

"Jimmy, please... you can't do that. You can't ruin someone like this.""I said stay out of it," he jerked his arm away, yelling, "how dare she talk to you like that?"He stormed out of the study room, declaring, "I'll make her regret those words.""No, Jimmy, wait up!" She hurried into the living room, grabbing his arm."Jimmy... Jimmy... Listen to me.""What?" he snapped, giving her a rough shake.She stared back, freaked out by his intense glare. His anger was sending chills down her spine."Jimmy, just hear me out," she pleaded, her voice shaky.He gripped her shoulder harder, growling, "She needs to learn a lesson.""It's not her fault. She just gave her two cents on my plan," she argued."How can she diss my wife like that?"Jemma's eyes teared up at the mention of 'my wife.' Her heart squeezed, and she said determinedly, "For your wife's sake, Jimmy. Don't go."Hearing her shaky voice and catching a glimpse of tears in her eyes, Noah snapped out of his rage. Jemma's eyes brimme
Billionaire's Abused Wife 312. I kind of like the guy
The sun was almost gone.Jemma sat in front of the mirror, putting on makeup. When she put on her earrings, Noah knocked, "Ready?""Yeah, yeah, just give me five minutes," she yelled back.Noah barged in, ending a call, "Dad called. The party's starting, and we gotta be there on time, or Jia will kill me."Jemma stood up, applying lipstick, "Hmm..."Noah's eyes landed on her back.The dress had a low back to her lower waist.Jemma turned to him, smiling, "I'm ready. Let's go."Noah checked her out. The dress was simple but classy, knee-length with full sleeves and a deep thigh cut. He coughed awkwardly.Seeing his expression, Jemma got confused. "What's up? You okay?"He pointed at her exposed thigh, "What's that?"Jemma looked down, "What?""What are you wearing? Change it, now.""Huh? But why?""I don't care. Change it.""Jimmy, Mom picked outfits for all. It's her choice. I can't change it.""I don't care. Change it right now.""What? But I can't insult Mom. And I like this dress,"
