The Billionaire & His Maid のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Chapter 71Christian leaned forward, his sharp gaze sweeping over the faces of those assembled in the conference room. The soft hum of the city outside barely penetrated the tension-filled space.“We need to counter Carey’s narrative,” he began, his voice firm yet measured. “If he’s using optics to paint himself as the solution, we’ll present facts that reaffirm our stability and strength. Perception is half the battle, and we have the upper hand with real performance data. Let’s make sure everyone knows about it."Mrs. Badenoch nodded, flipping to the next slide of her presentation. “We’re already preparing a media campaign that highlights Mason Enterprises’ milestones from this quarter—record profits in energy, new patents in tech, and strategic expansions in real estate. We had a meeting with the PR team and they are ready to roll out a series of interviews and articles to solidify our standing.”“Good,” Christian said, his mind racing. “But it can’t just be media buzz. What about

Chapter 73The warmth of spring filled the air, and the sound of birdsong drifted through the open window of Christian’s study. The past month had been surprisingly calm, a reprieve from the chaos Carey had inflicted on Mason Enterprises and Christian’s personal life.Christian leaned back in his chair, his gaze resting on the family portrait Eunice had drawn weeks ago. Her colourful depiction of their little family was now framed on his desk. It served as a reminder of what truly mattered, Eunice’s happiness and their stability.Outside, the voices of Olivia and Eunice filtered through the air. They were in the garden, laughing as Eunice practiced riding her bike. Christian had caught glimpses of Olivia’s patience and joy as she guided his niece, and it never failed to make him smile. He couldn’t help but think about how different his life had become since Olivia entered it.Just as he began reviewing a proposal on his tablet, his phone buzzed. It was Secretary Pitcher.“Sir,” Pitche

Chapter 75Olivia’s mouth gaped, refusing to close. “I can’t believe this. I would say we should give him the benefit of the doubt, but you know men."Ruth smiled mockingly. “I really thought I was being delusional. Or it was a brand name. I flipped through all the possibilities, and cheating is the conclusion I could come to.”“Have you asked him anything about it? Maybe subtly or...?” Olivia asked.Ruth nodded. “This morning before he left, I asked him if he had anything to tell me. He said no, kissed me and walked out like nothing had happened.Olivia huffed a bit. “Let’s calm down for a while. Forget about him for now. Focus on your surgery.Ruth nodded with a weak smile. “I also don’t plan on asking him anything about it for now. I’ll just watch from the sidelines."Ruth ran her fingers through her hair, sighing deeply. “Maybe I’m overthinking everything. Josh isn’t the type to cheat, but then again, people change. Besides, we’ve not known each other for a long time.”Olivia lean

Chapter 77Olivia turned around to see Josh looking at her. He seemed quite flustered. “Josh?” she called out to him."Hey Olivia. I thought to look around for you”, Josh said, scratching his neck awkwardly. “And thank you for staying with Ruth”.Olivia smiled. “Ruth will always do the same for me. Besides, we’ve known each other since forever, so we value each other more than our men".Josh cleared his throat. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t find the words. “Is it about you and Ruth?” Olivia asked first. Josh nodded a bit in affirmation.“I am trying my best to reassure her that you won't hurt her. But Ruth is still hurt, she thinks you’re tired of her and the relationship”, Olivia said with a sigh. “No matter what you’re going through, she’s your girlfriend, you should be able to confide in her”.“I know," Josh began. “But Carey is the biggest concern right now. I also don’t want anything to trouble her. But it didn’t occur to me that I might be hurting he

Chapter 79Eunice skipped through the corridor with Olivia holding her hand, while Christian walked behind them. The fluorescent lights buzzed quietly and it made Olivia uneasy."Honey," she began. “Are you sure you are happy to be in the hospital?”Eunice nodded happily. “I really missed Ruth, but I got to see her today. I do feel like this is not the right place to be happy, but she’s fine."Olivia who was obviously surprised by Eunice’s mature answer looked back at Christian who was smiling. “My girl is surely intelligent”, he said rubbing her back.“When are we getting to the room? I’ve been walking since a thousand years ago”, Eunice complained, instantly resuming her childlike antics like Olivia had expected.Ruth, who was still recovering was on the phone on a presumably work call. “I’ll see what I can do about it before Friday, thank you," she said before hanging up the phone.“Ruth!”, the excited Eunice screamed as soon as she saw Ruth drop her phone.“And if it isn’t my favo
