All Chapters of The Doting Bigwig: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Theodore replied, "It's indeed hectic at the company. I think having Aunt Ellie here is more than enough for unnecessary appointments like these.""Unnecessary? How can you say that?" Sara frowned."The Godfrey family are longtime friends with our family, and we have business partnerships with each other. No matter if it's business-wise or on a personal level, you should meet them. How can you call it an appointment?"Besides, Ellie is your father's second wife. She has no right to represent our family."As soon as Sara said that, they heard a maid asking someone on the outside, "Ma'am, why won't you go in?"Sara looked toward the door and saw Ellie standing there. Perhaps she had been standing there for a while. Sara asked, "Why haven't you slept?"She sounded like she couldn't care less even if Ellie had heard what she said about her.Ellie, too, pretended that she heard nothing. She entered the room nonchalantly and smiled warmly. "I was about to, but Theodore came back. I th

God damn it. Willow and Theodore had just started dating, and she ended up showing her haggard side to him. How could she face him from now on?Theodore waited for half an hour outside her door. When she finally opened the door again, she had changed into a set of comfy clothes. Dressed in a loose-fit white sweater and blue jeans, she looked leisurely and gentle with her long hair flowing down her shoulders.Theodore raised an eyebrow and remarked, "It seems like you didn't mean to open the door for me just now. Now's finally the right moment."Willow blushed in embarrassment. She cleared her throat and said, "The renovation upstairs was too noisy. I meant to head over and check it out."At that moment, the drilling noises began again. Willow frowned and suggested, "I think we should go outside. Oh yeah, what brings you here?""I'm here to help you move.""What?"Theodore looked around. "Don't tell me you plan to keep staying in another man's home?"Willow froze, finally recall

"It's pretty good," Theodore finally said.Willow was surprised. "Really?""Really," Theodore said seriously.She bit back a smile and said, "I don't know if you really mean it. Well, if you say it's good, you have to finish it all. I want to see your plate squeaky clean.""Okay." Theodore smiled.Flustered, Willow lowered her head and focused on her plate of macaroni and cheese. She quickly chewed her food as she pushed back the surging feelings in her heart.…After lunch, Willow began to unpack and organize her belongings. She thought that Theodore would sit back and do nothing. However, he took his jacket off, rolled up his sleeves, and started lifting the boxes. "Where do I put this?""Over there." Willow finally reacted and quickly pointed toward the kitchen. "Put it in the kitchen cabinet."She felt touched when she saw him busying around her home. In the three years she was with Quentin, never once did she see him do any house chores. He had said the maids were enough

The president of the committee opened the three bidding documents."Wait," Sonia suddenly said at the meeting table. "We want to submit a new bidding price.""We knew it." Joey clenched her fists. "Willow, they definitely lowered the price. What should we do?""Don't panic." Willow comforted her. "The project doesn't go to whoever offers the lowest price. Dropping the price too much is a big no in this industry."The results announcement was delayed due to Sonia's new bidding documents. Willow and the others waited outside the meeting room while the committee evaluated the three companies again.Sonia stood at the entrance for a while. When she turned around, she noticed Willow. She mocked, "Oh, Willow, congratulations! I heard you're dating Mr. Bassett and that the two of you are getting engaged soon. I wonder if there's any point in the bidding evaluations since your company is in the running."Willow replied coldly, "If you don't want to compete, you can quit. Why submit a new

A moment was all it took for Theodore to take Willow's left hand. He slowly pushed a ruby ring up her slender middle finger. Willow's first reaction was to retract her hand, but he gripped her hard. He only let go after the ring was pushed until the end."It's a present for you.""I can't take this." Willow wanted to take the ring off, but Theodore stopped her.Since she had lived with the rich once, she knew how expensive the ruby ring was judging from its color. She had barely started dating Theodore. How could she accept such an expensive present?"Why? You don't like it?""That's not it…""Then keep it." He looked at her coldly and decisively. "This is your engagement ring. You mustn't return it."Willow was rendered speechless. She would only appear annoying if she were to decline again. She could only accept the ring.Observing the ring under the lighting, the ruby in the center was round, smooth, and clear. It was encircled by small diamonds, looking opulent and elegant.
