Chapter 31

While it would be natural for ordinary people to wait for James outside, it was a completely different case for his wife. Natalie hesitated before saying, "Mr. Quigley is having a rather lengthy meeting. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a long time if you don't inform him of your arrival, Mrs. Quigley.""It doesn't matter. I'll just wait outside." Summer pursed her lips slightly and patiently waited. After all, she was the esteemed young madam of the Quigley family, and it was only right for a wife to wait for her husband. Summer felt the need to present herself well; at the very least, she shouldn't embarrass James.However, the wait lasted for half an hour. Although Summer remained composed, her patience began to wear away. Charlie, who was standing on the side, noticed this and suggested, "Madam, the building of Quigley Group is huge. Why don't I take you on a tour?""A tour?""Yes, you are the president's wife. Although you aren't involved in the company's internal

Chapter 32

Despite being aware that James was an excellent man, Summer didn't expect that all the female employees in the company were so enamored of him. It made her feel a little displeased. It seemed that in the future, Summer would have to spend more effort driving away these admirers.But suppose James actually treated Summer as a mere decoration; would she mind if he sought other women outside? Even she couldn't say for sure. After all, the two of them weren't close and had no deep connection.While lost in her thoughts, a startled voice pulled Summer back to reality."Who are you?" It was the woman with dyed blonde hair questioning her. She scrutinized Summer with a pair of wary eyes as though Summer was a criminal.Summer panicked for a moment. She shook her head and explained, "I … I came to see Mr. Quigley and happened to pass by.""Pass by?" The blonde woman's eyes were full of distrust. Then, she said, "I think you must like Mr. Quigley, so you sneaked into the company to see

"I'm not a thief!" Summer explained, but her explanation was of no use at all.Another female office worker said affirmatively, "I don't think you look like a good person. Even if you're not a thief, you must have some ulterior motives. "I suggest we let the security guards come over and investigate carefully. You must have used some improper means to casually enter the company.""Yes, I'm going to call security right now." The blonde woman picked up her phone and dialed the security department. Within three minutes, four burly men in green security uniforms rushed in.One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, asked, "What's going on?""Mr. Zimmer, it's good that you're here. We just caught an unidentified woman. She is definitely not one of our employees. Please investigate properly. She might be a thief."Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Summer immediately explained, "I am not a thief.""Then, who are you?" The head of security sized Summer up sternly

"My deepest apology, Mr. Quigley. I failed to recognize the young madam's identity." The head of security bowed at a ninety-degree angle, his expression apologetic. Then, he turned sharply and pointed at the blonde female office worker from earlier, saying, "It was Ms. Linda who reported to me that Mrs. Quigley is suspicious. "That was why I brought my men to apprehend her."In that case, it wasn't entirely the head of security's fault. If Linda hadn't casually suspected Summer, he wouldn't have mistakenly apprehended someone.Now that the president was questioning him, the head of security captain would naturally throw someone else under the bus.The blonde woman took a few steps forward and lowered her head in fear, "I'm sorry, Mr. Quigley. I didn't realize she was Mrs. Quigley."James had no time to waste on them. Every second of his time was valuable. He waved to his secretary on the side and said, "Fire them all.""Yes, Mr. Quigley."As soon as he gave the order, it

James did not speak, falling into a long silence. His eyes closed as he let out a deep sigh. "I am doing this for your own good.""I know, but they didn't actually do anything wrong. On the contrary, they were very conscientious, weren't they? Anyway, you're not allowed to fire them." Summer felt a surge of anger in her heart and reprimanded him when noticing that her advice fell on deaf ears.Summer's words shocked everyone present.Virtually no one in the company would dare to speak harshly to James. Summer not only spoke to him in a very arrogant and domineering manner, but she even used a commanding tone to stop him from firing the people. It was simply unbelievable.Just as everyone was expecting James to mercilessly reject Summer, he surprisingly admitted defeat with a dismissive wave of his hand and said, "Forget it. Let's just pretend that it never happened."Then, his lonely figure disappeared into the office like a defeated general retreating from the battlefield.

When Summer was leaving the office, she quickly chased after the blonde woman. The moment she left the office, the employees erupted in thunderous applause. The applause came not only from the blonde lady and the security but also from all of the employees. They were grateful for what Summer had done. Although they still felt that she didn't deserve to be with James, they realized that the young woman was kind, and they genuinely liked her. This was something Summer hadn't expected. Her unintentional actions earned the appreciation of the entire Quigley Group.She quickly walked off and reached the entrance of the CEO's office. There, she saw Charlie standing guard, and she asked, "How is James doing?""I don't know. Mr. Quigley didn't show any emotions." Charlie couldn't help Summer in that regard. James always had a stern look, like an iceberg. Charlie couldn't discern his emotions.However, even so, he still warned Summer, "Madam, you should be careful. You've gone too

Summer was walking on eggshells with every word. She said, "You aren't angry about what just happened?""Nope."Even though James said he wasn't angry, his voice was icy and emotionless. It seemed like he was angry but chose not to show it.She lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry. I just said whatever came to my mind.""You don't need to apologize. You were right. I shouldn't dismiss someone's efforts with just one sentence."When she heard him admitting his mistake, Summer felt smug and agreed with his words, "Yes, you shouldn't have. Even if you're the CEO, you shouldn't be so assertive …"As she spoke, she realized that she might've said the wrong thing again. His sharp eyes were now fixated on her, like a blade against her neck, as if another wrong word from her would push the blade into her neck.Summer wisely fell silent. She was complaining in her mind that James was someone who would say one thing and mean another. He had clearly said that he wasn't angry. Bu

Chapter 38

She had only known him for less than a week, and now he wanted to kiss her. Should she let him or deny it?Deny it? That didn't seem right. Summer and James were legally married with official recognition from both families. It was just a kiss and nothing more. How could she refuse?Besides, James was a handsome man who attracted the attention of many. Only an idiot would refuse such a person. Allow it? That wasn't right either. They had only known each other for such a short time, and she wasn't someone who took things like these lightly. Why should she kiss someone with whom she didn't have feelings for?To men, the easier they got something, the less they would cherish it. Summer feared that James might act like Hank, where once he got something, he would toss her aside. The conflicting thoughts clashed in her mind.On the one hand, her shoulder angel was telling her to accept, saying that it was a rare opportunity for a woman like her to meet such a perfect man. On the

For example, why did he choose Summer as his wife? There were plenty of people in the world who were better than she was. With his status, he could've easily found a beautiful wife without picking her.James had explained before, claiming it was love at first sight. But she didn't believe it. While she was pretty, she couldn't be described as exceptionally stunning. So, the so-called love at first sight must've boiled down to only superficial factors. Summer suspected that he was hiding some big secret that he hadn't told anyone. Just as she was about to ask him, she noticed that he was eating! He had picked up the fallen food and started eating. Summer was alarmed and exclaimed, "Don't eat those! It fell, and it's dirty!"She made the food, especially for James, but since he surprised her with an embrace, the food fell to the floor. The floor was as clean as new from being cleaned meticulously every day, but it was still the floor. Food that had fallen on it still sho

The sudden statement made him freeze. He didn't understand why she would say such a thing. So he asked, "Why?""I think we should clarify our relationship," she said. She couldn't deny that his looks alone brought hope into her life. She would treat him as her husband because he had helped her. However, emotionally, just like filling a cup of water drop by drop, things needed time to grow. Even if James genuinely liked her, she couldn't forget her past and start a life with him in just a few days.She took advantage of the empty office and decided to have a serious conversation with him. "I appreciate your help in resolving the issues for the Charter Corporation, and I thank you for being so willing to marry someone like me. "However, I feel that our relationship shouldn't be so intimate.""Why?" he asked in confusion. They were married, so why should intimacy be a problem? It seemed strange if there wasn't any intimacy between them. But, it was precisely because of th
