All Chapters of Devious Billionaire Husband: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Girl space friend." I just said. "Ohhh... continue." I rolled my eyes. "He ruined my... friend's date. He introduces himself as her husband." "Oh! That's interesting. I wish I was there to see that." Mara said while giggling. "So what happened next?" "The other guy kind of insulted the husband... he did not answer back but he was looking at the other guy coldly. The girl space friend defended him.""What about you... I mean your friend?" Mara asked. "Where's the lie though? - That was what she said." Mara's jaw dropped... she and Hailey has the same reaction. I almost chuckled thinking about it. "Your friend is so mean.""She's just telling the truth. The guy took advantage of my friend... marrying a drunk girl? Is that the best that he can do?" I said defending my action."M-maybe he has a good reason," Mara said defending the guy.I furrowed. "Are you telling me that you supported the guy? Really, Mara?! I'm disappointed in you!"Mara panicked a bit. She was trying to think

"Hailey? Really?!"James nodded confidently. Then he moved his face closer to mine. I cleared my throat and felt the heat in my cheeks. What is he planning now?"Are you doubting yourself?" He said in a whisper, then he moved his face away from mine. Then he raised his right eyebrow. "Where's the confident Yelle that I know?"I was quiet for a moment. I needed a moment to calm down and compose myself. I was taken aback when he suddenly moved closer to my face. "I'm not doubting myself, okay?! I just felt like my clients in the Philippines would always say that they like my work because I am Zobel. I am not sure if all their praises were authentic. Our clients here are more credible since they don't know my background," I explained. He nodded. "I get your point. The reason why I didn't meddle with your application. Also, I'm confident that you will get the job. And you should stop worrying about Athena and her minions, your work will speak for yourself." This is the first time tha

When lunchtime was over, I decided to go to the design team to call Nathalie for a meeting. I know that I can just call her to go to my office, but I wanted to see Yelle. It sounds crazy that I still miss her even though we were together this whole morning for the meeting. I wanted to see her face and also her reaction when she saw how Nathalie and I were close to each other. She only knew that my close friends were Hailey and David. Nathalie is more like a daughter to me than a friend, even though we are the same age. She was my scholar. We went to the same school. She was my classmate. They are not well-off. She was a scholar at our school. We became close because we share the same passion for designing furniture. When she told me that she would not go to college because of financial problems, I immediately asked her to come with me to the US to study. I will shoulder all her needs and she will be allowed to do part-time jobs in the US to send money to her family in the Philippine

A message suddenly appeared on my phone. It was from my brother, Luther. I took out my phone and check his message.My eyes widened after reading his message. My brother is here in the US, and he wants to see me after work. Oh my gosh! I miss him! I immediately agreed and told him where to meet. I can't wait to see him. Hannah nudged me to get my attention. I turned to her and asked, "What is it?" She pointed out my phone and said, "Your line is ringing." Referring to the company phone that was designated for me. "Oh!" I answered the phone.It was Bradley. James wanted me in his office. I grabbed my notebook and pen, and I was ready to go to his office when I saw Nathalie and Hailey go back to their respective places. I assume that they just got back from James' office. Bradley saw me, and he opened the door for me. I said thank you to him and went inside.James asked me to sit on the couch. I nodded and followed him. "I'm sorry about Nathalie's attitude earlier," James said th

"After I'm done with my work here. And speaking of James... What's with you and him?" I almost choked myself because of my brother's question. "He's my boss?" I said like he was asking a stupid question.I saw in peripheral vision the curious look on Nathalie's face. I guess she has no idea about my marriage with James, which explains her shocked expression when I said that I was James' wife. Well, that's great! The fewer people know about my problem with James, the easier I can solve it. "I heard what you said earlier." My brother said in a serious voice.I cleared my throat. "I-I just said that to irritate her!" I said, I almost stuttered."She has no right to bully someone simply because she can't win a guy! That's so low!" I added it to make it more convincing. "That's good then. But I never thought you would say that, knowing how you two hate each other." Then he chuckled. Nathalie's eyebrows furrowed. "They hate each other?" "Yes! They are like dogs and cats. Always banter
