Chapter 39

Authoress Pamela’s p.o.v

The meeting took longer than he expected.

There were too many files given to him.

Richard almost flipped the table.

Didn’t they know that he was going to get married in a few days?

how dare them try to trouble him with so much work?

Huh?

“Tch, I will smack this paper on their faces.” He said before picking up his phone to call his wife to be.

“it’s okay. It must be important since you are rarely here.”

Annabelle had just woken up.

“Are you hungry? Order something from the room service, ok? I will be back before dinner.”

“Don’t worry about me.”

She planned to sneak out from the room and walk around the hotel for a bit.

“Alright.. I missed you.”

Richard thought about postponing his work and go back to the hotel early instead.

“I guess you did. Byee.”

Annabelle ended the phone call, imagining he was cursing on the other side

“Damb! Ah, this girl.” He said while smiling widely.

He stared at her picture in his lock screen.

The pictures he took when she was sleeping,

“I look really ugly here.” She scolded him, and told.him to change them but he did not listen.

She will take a pose if he really wants a picture but no, he cherishes this one.

He took the picture in the night when she said she love him for the first time.

Richard finished his work right before dinner time.

The secretary tidied up after him.

“The car is ready, Mr Richard.”

The secretary walked with him to the lobby.

“Did you book the reservation?”

He planned to take Annabelle out before they go back to the family.mansion.

He didn’t tell her yet.

‘Yes, Mr Richard.”

Richard casually threw his head around the lobby.

His eyes caught a familiar figure.

She was shivering because of the cold.

She had been standing there for the past one hour.

“You may go back first.”

The secretary bowed to him before he left.

Their eyes met.

His stare was icy cold.

He didn’t give her a second glance and went straight to the car.

She knew he would ignore her, but actually receiving this kind treatment made chills run down her spine.

“Richard..” She chased after his steps.

Richard clenched his jaw.

“What are you doing here?” He looked down at her coldly.

“Can we talk?”

The last time they met, Richard told her he was going to handle a business out of town for a couple of months.

Of course he had no obligation to explain anything to her.

“We have nothing to talk about.”

“Is it true? She is pregnant with your child? You let her keep it? Why are you so unfair? You told me to abort my child.” She cried.

******Time skip******

“Sorry, I’m a bit late.”

Richard say as he took the hair dryer from Annabelle hand.

She just took a bath after her afternoon walk.

She came back just in time.

“It’s okay.. I’m still sleepy.. Let’s just go back to the mansion after ordering room service.”

It was already late and she did not have much appetite anymore.

“I booked us a place. We can still make it.”

Her hair was very long and soft.

They smell nice, too.

He likes to play with them.

Richard observed her troubled face,

“What is it? You don’t want to go?”

“I don’t feel like I want to dress up..”

“Are you not feeling well?”

He cupped her face, feeling her forehead,

“You are kind of pale? Let’s go to see the doctor.” He took his coat and draped it on her.

“No need.. no need.. I’m just lazy.” she grinned
at him.

“Are you sure? Are you hurt anywhere? How about my baby girl inside? Is she troubling you today?”

He will scold his unborn child too if it will make her feel better.

“She is fine, too.”

Rich rubbed her head
fondly.

He was a bit off after encountering unexpected situations.

“Let’s just stay in the hotel tonight.”

“Abigail and her boyfriend are already here.”

They arrived today and currently stayed in the same hotel.

“We will meet them tomorrow, okay? I will order some dishes.”

Her heart warmed.

He always took care of her first.

He was still in his suit but yet he had already helped her dry her hair.

She can bet that he must
be hungry himself.

She took the phone from him,

“Go and take a bath first. I will order. What do you want?”

“Anything is fine. Order your favorite. Don’t you like the food from yesterday?”

He will take a note if she seriously like a dish.

Maybe one day the chef will help him make it for her.

“Yes, I think I will have it again.”

“Good girl.” Richard smiled.

Mirabel took off her eyeglasses.

She just accepted the text from the reporter she contacted earlier.

A mid-age man approached her.

“Is it you? The one who called.” He asked.

“Have a seat.” Mirabel says as she pulled out a brown envelope and pushed it to his side of the table.

“What is this?”

The girl in front of him was using branded stuff head to toe, clearly she wanted to get back at someone.

“it’s a big scoop for your agency.”

She deliberately called a local newspaper to cause a ruckus enough to ruin the wedding.

He frowned.

The guy checked the content inside.

There were pictures and some hospital certificates.

“I can’t post this.”

This was beyond crazy.

“Why?” She thought she misheard things.

“Richard’s wedding is the day after tomorrow. If I post this, my agency will be gone before that.”

He had worked in this circle for so many years and he preferred to keep it that way for a long time,

“Miss, i don’t know who you are but let me tell you, Mr.Richard is someone you shouldn’t make a mess with. He will bury you alive. I still have to put my kids to school.!”

“So you are saying he is untouchable.!”

“Practically. Nobody is willing to take the risk.”

That’s true

There is no use going to another agency.

They will tell her the same thing.

Her smile turned into a frown.

No wonder why he held his head so high.

In this city, no one dares to offend him.

However she is not from this city.

“Why am I being secretive.. I should have just simply sent it to my dear sister instead. This will be my wedding gift to her.”
