Chapter 20

I could tell that my crying was a big deal to her.

But I actually didn’t know if Leland cheating on me was a big deal.

If not, then why was I crying?

Menu

I was already twenty-five years old. When I got the admission letter from the University of Oxford, I didn’t go abroad to study; I stayed for Leland. He treated me like a princess. What could make me unhappy?

I wiped away my tears, and Denise gave me an encouraging hug.

Oh dear, you are not only Mr. Pearson’s little princess, but also the princess of our entire company. A few days ago, I helped you register for the state design competition. Is it because you didn’t win the prize? But I remember the evaluation meeting is tomorrow.”

I shook my head so hard that I felt a bit dizzy.

Denise supported me and asked, “What’s the matter? You are the boss of the Leslie Group. Why do

you

look so aggrieved?”

I tried hard to force a smile, and I kept smiling while adjusting my breathing.

Denise, would you accompany me to the bar tonight? I want to get drunk and forget everything.”

Denise widened her eyes and said, “What? Why? You’re Kaylie, and your husband is Mr. Pearson. Are you actually going to a bar? We have never been to such a place before. I’m scared!”

I laughed, “I heard that rich people like to seek excitement. Denise, my treat tonight. I want to say goodbye to you.”

“What? Goodbye? Where are you going? Kay, why do I feel like something is wrong with you?”

Do you? Let’s go. We won’t stop until we get drunk tonight. And tomorrow, you don’t have to be my assistant anymore. You will officially take the position of the manager of the Design Department!”

Denise was stunned. Taking advantage of her daze, I sent a message to Leland. Afraid that he would become suspicious, I used the usual tone.”Mr. Devil your little princess has made plans to have dinner with Denise tonight. Don’t worry. I will go back on my own.”

Soon, Leland replied, “Okay, dear, have fun! By the way, don’t drink anything cold, and don’t eat spicy or greasy food. Take care of your stomach.”

I curved my lips and texted him,”Okay.”

Denise saw it and said, “Wow, I envy you for your unwavering love over the past ten years. To be honest, I dream every day of finding a prince charming like Mr. Pearson. Kay, please introduce me to some man!”

I smiled, “I hope tomorrow you will still insist on finding a man like Leland to be your husband.”
