Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 781 I Need You for Something

After Irvin had a row with Bella, he left the castle.

Bella felt wronged and miffed. She returned from the main building and shut herself in her room.

Felix went back to his room, took a bath, and then resumed his work.

Dinnertime soon arrived.

Felix pinched the bridge of his nose and checked the time on his watch. It was 6 in the afternoon.

He rang the bell to call Donald over.

“Donald, is she back?”

Donald knew who Felix referred to.

With his head drooped, he said softly, “Not yet.”

“Still?” Felix thought.

His brows furrowed. A wave of exasperation surged inside him.

Felix waved at Donald to ask him to leave. Then, he walked to the window to look at the neon lights on

buildings in the growing darkness. The frown on his forehead deepened.

“Where has she gone?”

According to the agreement they had made, she could stay here for now, and she should help him

solve the mystery of the map.

They were just working together. He certainly had no reason or no right to tell her where she could go

or not.

Yet, in his head, a voice desperately bawled that he should go look for her and make her stay with him

forever!

Felix raised his head, closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply.

At last, he restrained himself from calling her on the phone and walked out.

At the same time, in a bustling bar, Queeny was sitting on a stool, holding a glass of wine and watching

the people on the dance floor, absent-minded.

It was still early, around 6 in the afternoon. The lights on the street were just lit. Most people hadn’t

started partying in a bar yet. There were only a few people inside, most of them were people that

worked there.

Sarah came over with a cocktail and put it on the counter. As Queeny just did, she also put one hand

on the counter and propped herself up before sitting on a stool.

Smiling, she asked, “Queeny, what brought you here today?”

Queeny looked at her and said beamingly, “Nothing. I happened to walk by, and I thought you might be

working so I dropped in.”

Sarah nodded, then asked, “Where do you work now? How have you been?”

Queeny turned a deaf ear to her first question and only answered the second one, “I’m fine.”

Her tone was nonchalant. She picked up her glass and took a sip, but she still stared at the dance floor.

Several young people were dancing to the music. Though there were not a lot of people in the bar, they

were still having fun.

Suddenly, as if something had occurred to her, Queeny turned around and asked Sarah, “When will

you quit?”

Sarah smiled and said, “I’ve given my week’s notice, but they want me to work for another half a

month. I will leave after they hire someone to do my job.”

Queeny furrowed her eyebrows.

“Another half a month?” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Sarah waved as if it was not a big deal. “Well, I’ve worked here for a long time. People here have been

quite nice to me, especially my supervisor. We’re like friends now. I can’t just quit and leave. That

would be kinda rude.”

Queeny contemplated for moments and then nodded.

“Fine. It’s up to you. Just be safe.”

Sarah nodded.

The two talked for a while. Queeny acted like she was really just dropping in to see Sarah, and Sarah

believed her.

Just as they were absorbed in chatting, someone’s phone rang.

Sarah looked around and said, “Queeny, your phone is ringing.”

Queeny fished her phone out of her pocket. It was the same phone that Sarah bought her. Even though

Donald had given her a new one with a new phone card, she put it away in her room, not intending to

use it anyway.

If possible, she didn’t want to owe Felix anything, even though it was just a phone.

Queenly glanced at the phone number on the screen and frowned slightly. Then, she put it on mute and

put it back into her pocket.

Seeing this, Sarah asked curiously, “Who was it? Why didn’t you answer it?”

Queeny gave a faint smile and said, “It’s just a sales call I think. Why bother...”

“Okay.”

Sarah bought it. She held up her cocktail, clicked glassed with Queeny, then said with a smile, “You’re

free and you’ve got a job now. Congratulations. Hope our life will get better and better!”

The smile of this innocent girl was so pure and touching.

Queeny was moved by her bright smile. She also clinked her glass against hers before finishing her

drink.

After finishing the wine, Queeny looked at her watch and said, “It’s getting late. I gotta go.”

“So soon? Did you drive here?”

“No. I’ll call a taxi.”

She leaped out of the stool, patted Sarah on the shoulder, and said, “Stay here. Take care. I’ll visit you

again when I have some free time.”

Sarah did not insist. She merely nodded and said with a smile, “IOK.”

Queeny waved goodbye to her, then turned around and walked out of the bar.

It was already completely dark outside.

Dark clouds had gathered in the sky, adding another touch of gloom to the dark night. Queeny felt the

clouds were looming over her heart, eating her alive.

Her phone rang again. She took it out and saw the caller ID on the screen. The veins on her temples

instantly stood out.

It was Felix.

“Why does he keep calling me?”

“It’s not the first time I went out on my own since I lived in his castle. He didn’t seem to care where I

was at all.”

“Did something happen?”

Queeny hesitated for a moment. She checked her watch again. It was only half-past seven. There was

still half an hour to go before it was time for her appointment with Eight and the others. She had

enough time to take this call.

Therefore, she wrapped her coat more tightly around her and picked up the call as she headed out.

“Hello.”

“Where are you?” Felix’s aloof voice sounded.

Queeny could even picture the standoffish expression Felix was having when he asked this question.

She answered perfunctorily, “Outside, for business.”

“Why did you call me?”

Queeny raised a brow.

With a note of derisiveness, she asked, “Are you checking on me?”

The other end of the line was silent for quite a while.

Felix couldn’t describe his mood. His voice was still cool and nonchalant, yet it was deeper than usual.

“Come back now. I need you for something.”

Queeny was taken aback.

But before she could answer, Felix hung up the phone.

She stared at the prompt of the ended call on the screen in silence for seconds. A scornful smile

curved her lips.

At eight o’clock in the evening.

Near a remote factory, a black SUV pulled steadily into a vacant lot and came to a stop by a big tree on

the edge of the land.

The car door opened, and a lanky man jumped out first, followed by an equally tall, thin woman, who

leaped out from the back door. She looked more slender and vivacious.
