Billionaire’s Mistress

“That’s it?” Edmund raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately.

“Uh…” I looked a little embarrassed, or what else?

“Mr. Brian, do you mean that Miss Leanna should give something substantial as a thank-you?” Oarlan teased.

“Something substantial? But I have nothing.” I spread out my hands. It’s not that I’m narrow-minded and unwilling to give it to you. It’s just that I have nothing now.

“Isn’t it always like this on TV, marry him?” Oarlan teased.

I was speechless and shy, and my face instantly flushed to the neck. I lowered my head and could not say a word.

” Miss Leanna is shy.” Oarlan couldn’t help laughing.

Suddenly, he coughed, “I’m going to check the bidding proposal again.” After saying that, he immediately ran away.

After Oarlan left, Edmund looked back at me and glanced at the sofa beside me. “Sit down.”

I hesitated for a moment and sat down slowly.

“What Oarlan said just now…” he opened his mouth and said.

“I understand. Oarlan likes joking. I won’t take it to heart.” Before he could finish his words, I interrupted him in a hurry, trying to hide my embarrassment.

“You can take it to heart.” However, what he wants to express is obviously different from my understanding.

“Eh?” I was stunned.

“I like you.” He said, his deep eyes shining with bright and sincere light, like the bright stars in the sky, shining on my face.

I heard the sound of my heart beating violently.

Was this… His confession of love?

Like me?

Really?

“I will leave City X after the bidding is over tomorrow. You can think about coming with me or staying here.” He didn’t force me to respond, but gave me two choices.

“Why… Why?” I still can’t believe that this arrogant man in front of me would fall in love with me. How is that possible?

Will Cinderella like fairy tales fall on me?

“Do you want me to praise you?” There was a faint smile in his eyes.

My face turned redder. I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to know why he was attracted by me.

“Come here. Let me tell you.” He waved at me and said gently.

I stood up obediently and walked to him. Before I could stand firm, he stretched out his long arms and directly wrapped them around my waist. With a little force, I fell into his arms, breathing the unique smell of a mature man on his body.

The plane landed at the airport of City Y.

The moment I landed on the ground, I felt a sense of familiarity that I hadn’t had for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, I sighed in my heart that I finally came back here!

There were two Mercedes Benz parked on the tarmac.

One was a car, and the other was a commercial vehicle.

Beside the car door stood the driver and The senior executives of the King group.

After getting off the plane, Edmund went straight to the commercial vehicle.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

But Oarlan arranged me to get in the car.

“You go back first. The president has just returned to City Y, and there are a lot of important things to deal with. There is a celebration party tonight. You don’t have to wait for him.” Oarlan said.

Looking at Edmund who was surrounded by a group of people and got into the car, I felt a little disappointed, but I still nodded with a smile. “Okay, don’t worry. I will take care of myself.”

“Okay. Call me if you need anything.” Said Oarlan. After exhorting the driver for a few more words, I turned around and went to the commercial vehicle aside.

I looked out of the window in a daze and suddenly felt a little funny.

When did I begin to look forward to getting along with him.

The car drove out of the airport and entered the urban area. I didn’t ask the driver to go back to Edmund’s villa directly.

I remember clearly that in that luxurious house, the food in the fridge is expired.

After telling the driver to drive the car to the supermarket, I will first make a big purchase. The driver will follow me and be a porter.

When I was paying the bill, I suddenly heard someone calling my name behind me. Surprised, I turned around and saw a warm face.

“Leanna? Really? Oh my God! I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Evelyn squeezed to me from the end of the line, grabbed my hand and said excitedly.

Evelyn was my roommate when I was in college.

I was also excited to see this former roommate in college. “Evelyn, what a coincidence!”

“I remember that you went to work in City X after graduation. Did you come back to visit your family?” As Evelyn spoke, she looked at the young driver standing in front of her with many bags in his hands.

“No, I have quit my job there.”

“I haven’t seen you for years. You are more and more beautiful.” She pointed at the driver and asked, “is this your boyfriend?”

I shook my head. “No, don’t gossip.”

” Leanna, you are still so popular after leaving school. I really envy you.” She said jokingly.

“Oh, don’t talk nonsense. He is the driver.” I’m speechless. In order to prevent this old friend from guessing randomly, I have to tell.

However, when she heard what I said, she was even more excited. “Wow, Leanna, you are so awesome. You have a driver.”

“No… it’s not my driver. It’s my friend’s…” I explained hurriedly. Seeing that the cashier had recorded the price of all the items, she took out her bank card and paid. Then she turned to Evelyn and said, “I’ll wait for you outside. Pay the bill quickly.”

“Okay.” Evelyn agreed without hesitation and went back to her seat in the front row.

I handed the things I bought to the driver and said, “Mr. driver, please help me send these things to the villa. I met my old classmate, so I won’t go back now.”

“Well… Oarlan asked me to send you home safely.” The driver was in a dilemma.

“It doesn’t matter. I will tell Oarlan. Don’t worry. I will go back after I have a talk with her.”

“Do you need me to drive you there?” The driver asked.

“Thank you. No, thanks. We should find a cafe nearby.” I politely refused his kindness and watched him leave.

After Evelyn paid the bill, we went to the Starbucks on the second floor.

“How have you been these three years?” After ordering the coffee, I asked.

“Well, everything goes well at work” She answered with a smile and then asked, “how about you? Is Hannah completely recovered?”

“Well, I’m studying abroad now.”

“Wow, that’s great. At that time, you were worried about her health. By the way, did you come back to attend your sister’s engagement ceremony?” She suddenly thought of something and asked.

“What do you mean?” As far as I can remember, Hannah is my only sister.

“Don’t you know? Forget it. Forget it. Forget it.” Evelyn hurriedly waved her hand.

How can I pretend not to hear it?

“Evelyn, what do you mean by that? Can you make it clear?” I grabbed her hand and asked.

Seeing this, she sighed and told the truth, “it’s… it’s that Lorna Moor. Your mother’s stepdaughter is going to marry Otis.”

When I heard the name Otis, I felt as if it had been a lifetime.

The smile froze on her face, but r thoughts were pulled to the old school time.

Otis Backer is my first love, the first man I fell in love with.

However, my relationship with him has not been approved by his parents.

Because of the huge difference in family conditions between the Otis and me, I was asked out to have a talk with the Otis’ mother more than once, and she even said that she would give me a sum of money to leave.

At that time, I was in urgent need of money because of Hannah’s illness. After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to give Hannah an operation first, and then make money to return the Nacker family.

When Otis learned that I took the money, he humiliated me without any reason and chose to break up with me.

Heartbroken, I tried to explain, but it didn’t work. In the end, I could only accept the result of breaking up.

Later, I worked three part-time jobs to earn money in order to pay back the Nacker family’s money. However, Hannah’s follow-up treatment also cost a lot. Under desperation, I was introduced by another roommate and went to the club to sell myself.

From the night I met Edmund, I realized that Otis and I were destined to be in the past.

Edmund was generous enough to pay all the follow-up medical fees and the so-called break-up fee to Otis’ mother.

When I gave the money to Otis’ mother, my guilt disappeared.

From now on, I don’t owe the Nacker family anything.

I’m done with Otis.

“Leanna, Leanna? Are you okay?” Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Evelyn waved her hand in front of me.

I came to my senses, but my expression was still a little stiff. “No… nothing… So many years have passed, and he is also going to get married.”

“It’s good that you think so. But I heard that when you broke up with Otis, Lorna appeared frequently in front of him. Maybe the two of them hooked up at that time.” Evelyn said with disdain.

I don’t care about that. I just smiled bitterly and said nothing.

“Hannah was seriously ill at that time, and your mother was so rich, but she refused to take money to save her. Was it because of Lorna? If that was the case, then this woman was too scheming. You might have been tricked.” Evelyn speculated like a detective.

Hearing her words, my heart skipped a beat.

Would it be like this?

“Don’t make blind conjectures. The past is past. I don’t want to think about it anymore. We have just met each other for a long time. Can’t we talk about something happy?” I waved my hand to stop myself from thinking too much.

Seeing this, Evelyn smiled sheepishly and slapped herself. “Look at me. I’m just making trouble for you. Forget it. Let’s talk about something happy.”

Later, Evelyn had an appointment with her bestie, so I left her contact information and left.

I walked out of the coffee shop and walked on the familiar street. I felt a sense of loss.

Time is really a good medicine. Everything can be cured.

I can’t remember the pain of losing Otis anymore. The only thing I can remember is that handsome face shining.
