The Contract Marriage

Chapter 176

Her smile had always been like the sun in the winter, like the breeze in spring, always giving people a warm feeling. But she in front of him now had completely changed.

Sarah did not expect David to see through her change at first glance. She quickly lowered her head and was about to walk towards the lobby of Wilson Group with the bag.

But before she could take a step, David grabbed her arm.

“Tell me what happened.” David’s big hand tightly grabbed her arm. Looking at her current appearance, his heart was filled with indescribable pain and discomfort. If she had married him back then, he would never let her suffer any harm.

Sarah forced the corner of her lips again, but she still did not dare to look David in the eyes.

“Mr. David, I have had a cold these two days and I am not feeling well. I am fine. You misunderstood.” Sarah said as she pushed David’s big hand.

“I have known you for nine years. Do you really think me as a fool? Even if you have caught a cold, you can’t be in such a state. Who do you think has a cold and have swollen eyes like yours? You didn’t even pull out the car keys when you got off the car. And you say you’re fine?”

From the moment she got out of the car, David had been staring at her every move. He looked at the car keys that was still stuck in the keyhole, then looked at her appearance. He instantly knew that she must have encountered something.

David’s words hit Sarah’s heart. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she swallowed all the grievances in her heart. She held back her tears and said with a choking voice, “Mr. David, don’t ask me anymore, okay? I still have work to do. . . “

“Did Christian offend you? Tell me what he did to you.” David’s big hand did not move. Seeing Sarah like this, how could he be at ease and let her leave?

Sarah shook her head powerlessly. “Mr. David, he did not do anything to me. Can you let me go to work?”

“Since he didn’t do anything, why don’t you look up at me? Sarah, raise your head and look at me!” David commanded her in a domineering manner.

“Mr. David. . .” Sarah’s tears could not help falling. Facing David’s question, she really did not know how to answer. She really tried her best, but her tears could not stop falling.

David looked at her tears falling and his heart instantly hurt. He lowered his head to look at her and slowed down his tone. “Sarah, even if I can’t be your lover, I am still your best friend, your Mr. David. No matter what happens to you, you can tell me. Do you understand? “

Sarah nodded silently but still did not say anything.

“Then can you tell me what happened between you and Christian now?” From her expression and reaction, David had already guessed that something must have happened between her and Christian, which was why she was so shocked.

“Mr. David, can I tell you in a few days? Don’t make things difficult for me anymore, okay?” Sarah finally raised her head and looked at David with tears in her eyes, begging him.

When he saw Sarah’s teary eyes, David’s heart instantly softened. He sighed and nodded compromising. “Alright. But can you still work in your current state? Why don’t you go home? I’ll tell the president about work.”

Seeing how uncomfortable she was, he was very worried about her body.

“I’m fine. When I get home, I’ll think about these things. When I get to work, I don’t have to think about anything anymore. . .”

“Okay. . .” David let out a long breath. He reached out and opened Sarah’s car again. He helped her remove the car keys and lock the car for her. Then he handed the keys to her and looked at her. “Let’s go!”

Sarah put away the car key and nodded silently. She followed David to the lobby of Wilson Group.

Just as the two of them were about to walk up the stairs in front of the company, Syrus’s yellow Ferrari quickly drove over from the side of the slope. It stopped in front of the two of them with a squeak. Following closely behind Syrus’s car was Jasmine’s red Maserati sports car.

The car door quickly opened. Syrus and Jasmine got out of the car almost at the same time. David and Sarah immediately greeted the two of them.

Jasmine looked to be in a good mood today. When her eyes fell on David, there was a bit of ambiguity in her eyes. Seeing David and Sarah walk around the car and walk over, she looked at the two of them half-jokingly. “Are you two coming to work together?”

“I just happened to meet her in the square.” Knowing that Sarah did not want to speak, David immediately explained.

Jasmine raised her eyebrows and looked at Sarah who was by the side with her head slightly lowered. She did not care about anything and lifted her chin as she walked towards the company’s elevator.

Syrus looked at Sarah beside him and blinked his eyes. Then he smiled and said: “Let’s go!” After saying that, he also followed his sister’s footsteps.

Because Syrus and Jasmine were there, Sarah and David followed them into the CEO’s special elevator.

Sarah was afraid that her two superiors would notice her strange behavior, so she kept her head down and stood behind Syrus. Luckily Syrus kept chatting with Jasmine and did not notice her change. This made her heave a sigh of relief.

The elevator stopped at Syrus’s floor. Sarah followed Syrus the Secret Room. They had just walked a few steps when Syrus suddenly stopped and looked back at her.

“Is there anything wrong in your house?” The girl’s eyes were red and swollen. The moment he saw her at the lobby door, he realized something was wrong. But he didn’t want to make her feel too awkward. So he pretended not to notice anything.

Sarah immediately shook her head when she heard it. “No! Thank you, CEO!”

“What’s wrong with your eyes? Don’t tell me you watch me drive different sports car every day and get jealous to the point of getting eye disease and become like this?”

Seeing that her mood was a little low, Syrus smiled and continued to walk forward jokingly.

“No. . .”

“Then what is going on?” Syrus put his hand in his pocket and walked to the door of his office. He stopped and looked at her. “Come in!”

Sarah heard his words and had no choice but to follow him in. She walked to Syrus’s table and stopped. She still did not dare to look up to let him see her eyes.

Syrus sat down in his leather chair and looked at Sarah in front of him. He smiled and said, “Still don’t want to tell me?”

“President, I really am fine. . .”

Syrus heard what she said and raised his eyebrows. He crossed his hands on the table and nodded. “Okay! If you don’t say it, it will not be hard for me to do it for you. I have two meetings to attend in a while, so don’t follow me.”

After saying that, Syrus opened the drawer next to him. He took out a piece of information and placed it in front of her. “Arrange this information according to the time and type. I will use it in the morning the day after tomorrow. Go and do your work.”

Sarah immediately nodded and reached out to take the information on the around and wanted to leave but was stopped by Syrus again.

“Oh right, wait a moment!”

“President, what is it?”

Syrus looked at her and was silent for a moment. He tapped the table with his finger and after a while, he slowly asked her, “Half a month later is my grandmother’s 84th birthday. I have a favor to ask of you, is that okay?”

“Go ahead, President.”

“Can you attend my grandmother’s birthday?”

“Sure.”

How could she refuse such a thing? She just couldn’t understand why Syrus would make such a request to her.

Sarah looked at him and asked in confusion. “Is it because

Syrus blinked his eyes and answered frankly, “For another reason.”

“Can you tell me the reason?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“When you go there, you will definitely understand!”

Sarah nodded her head in understanding. “I understand.”

Syrus smiled and waved his hand at her. “Go and do your work.”

“Yes.”

It was Jasmine’s birthday the night before yesterday. Looking at David’s attitude towards her that night, Jasmine originally thought that he would not appear in the company the next day.

But she did not expect that he would still come to work like usual these two days. This made her very happy in her heart.

When the two of them walked out of the elevator, Jasmine let him into her office. When she walked to the center of the room, she turned around and saw David closing the office door and walking towards her. She smiled faintly and looked at him with a bit of scrutiny.

“Do you have any instructions, Vice President?” David walked over and stopped in front of her. He looked at her and asked slowly.

“Do you have to call me that?” This kind of address made her feel a little depressed.

“We’re at the company now.”

Jasmine heard his words and smiled helplessly. “Did I always hurt others when I spoke in the past, so now I have to face retribution?”

“Vice President is thinking too much. I did not mean that.”

“You also know that sometimes your words hurt people?”

Jasmine looked at him and smiled.

“What should we do? My family likes you very much.” Jasmine looked at him very directly.

Although David was an assistant, in front of her family the night before yesterday, his every move was seen by the people of Wilson Family, especially Jasmine’s father, Joseph. He felt that David was a very calm young man.

“Is that so? Thank you.” David heard Jasmine’s words and smiled faintly. In fact, he only saw Jasmine as a good superior. As for other matters, he really did not think about it.

After experiencing Sarah and Mila’s matter, he only wanted to do his career well now. As for other matters, he did not want to think too much about them for the time being.

“My dad wants to talk to you alone.” Jasmine went straight to the point again.

“Chairman?” David was slightly stunned.

“Yes!”

“Vice President, I want to clarify with you again.” David really did not want to deepen the misunderstanding between them, but he was interrupted by Jasmine’s words before he could finish his sentence.

“He is waiting for you in his office. No matter what you want to clarify with me, go and meet him first.”
