Chapter 702
Spoiled by the President
Nancy Murray was startled. For a moment, she did not realize what he meant.
On the other side, the employee assumed that Nancy did not want to admit the truth. He smiled at her with twinkly eyes.
âYou donât have to be wary of me. I harbor no bad intentions towards you, and I wonât go to those useless paparazzi.
As he spoke, he took out his phone and typed Nellâs name into the search box.
Soon, several news articles began to surface.
All of them were news relating to Nell Jennings, none of them exempted. All of them were news about her career as a movie star.
Nell had stayed out of the limelight ever since she had a child, so the articles were from several years ago. Nonetheless, as long as someone dug deep enough, there was still a lot of information out there about her.
Nancy Murray felt a little embarrassed.
It was all her fault. Nancy had been with Nell for such a long time, plus the fact that Nellâs business and identity were so complicated, that Nancy forgot that Nell used to be an actress.
Nancy twitched at the corners of her mouth, holding back a smile. âUh... Yes, youâre right, thatâs my friend. Thank you for helping us keep this a secret.
When the other party heard Nancyâs admission, his expression instantly relaxed, as if breathing a sigh of relief.
âI knew it, I was right.â
Following that, he grinned and introduced himself. âMy name is Bob, whatâs your name?â
Nancy intoned expressionlessly, âNancy Murray.â
âNancy Murray? Nice name. Now that weâve introduced ourselves, are we considered friends?â
Nancy felt that this person was quite... annoying.
However, she did not say it aloud and did not have the heart to chase him away.
After all, the place they were occupying was his territory!
As a result, she could only keep up her apathetic beauty facade and stopped talking to him.
Bob realized that despite his constant chatter, Nancy did not reply, nor did she show any response.
He self-consciously touched his nose, wondering if he said something wrong!
At that moment, Nell had just finished a practice lap and was taking a break, so she walked over to them.
âWhat are you talking about? Sounds lively around here.â
Lively?
Nancy Murray reacted as if she had just heard a joke. Her eyes widened in shock.
Nell was slightly embarrassed, so her face tensed a little.
Of course, she could see that the atmosphere between these two people was very awkward, that was why she came over to diffuse the situation.
It just happened that one of the parties involved was a straightforward, no-nonsense person like Nancy Murray. Hence, the situation became even more awkward.
Originally, Bob could have saved the situation with his humorous personality.
Now, even he could not make a proper comeback. Alas, he just smiled awkwardly at them and muttered an excuse about going back to work.
After Bob left, Nell sat down and looked at Nancy Murray with an air of helplessness.
âGirl, donât you see that he was deliberately trying to talk to you, and was interested in you? Why did you give him a cold shoulder?â
Nancy Murray stiffened minutely.
Stubbornly, she refused to admit it. âWhat?! Donât talk nonsense.â
âTsk, am I talking nonsense? His intention was so obvious, but someone refuses to admit it.â
Nell took a sip of water and mumbled, âOur Nancy not only has a beautiful face, but also a good figure and wonderful personality. Itâs too bad that sheâs so shy. I wonder which prince will be able to coax this little flower to open up.â
Nancy Murrayâs face blushed red.
She stuttered panickedly, âNelly, stop it, thereâs no such thing.â
Seeing the panicked look on Nancyâs face, Nell could not help but smile.
âWhat do you mean, thereâs no such thing? Itâs normal for grown men and women to have romantic interests and think about getting married. Youâre not young anymore, maybe itâs time you start thinking about it.â
Nancy pursed her lips and did not reply.
Nell did not have any intention of prying into Nancyâs private affairs, she was simply giving Nancy a friendly reminder that such matters were up to her to decide.
She went back to practice after resting for a while.
After practicing for a whole day, up till eight oâclock at night, they were finally done.
When they returned to the hotel, she ate dinner while video-calling Gideon Leith.
The call was made by Gideon, so he probably timed it on purpose. He knew very well that this was the time that she was free and was having dinner.
Video-calling her at this time was perfect because he could talk to her for a long time without affecting her rest time. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Inside the video frame, both Lizzy and Little Viemond were there.
At this time, it was morning in China. Since it was still early in the morning, Gideon Leith had not gone to the company yet, so he was able to let the two little tykes see her.
Nell saw Lizzyâs delicate face appear in the video. She said coyly, âMummy, youâve been gone for two days, I have been counting for you. Does that mean that you will be back the day after tomorrow?â
Nell smiled and said, âWho said so? It will be two days after tomorrow. I have to spend one whole day on the road.â
Hearing that, Lizzy pouted her lips.
Beside her, Little Viemond babbled incessantly.
He already knew how to say a few words, but they were not too discernible yet.
She could hear him babble, âMama, mummy, why arenât you back, I miss you.â
Nell felt her heart melting into a puddle upon hearing his babyish voice.
She explained to him earnestly, âMummy has to work. Little Viemond must be a good boy and listen to daddy and sister, okay?â
Her little dumpling nodded seriously.
Gideon saw that Nell had talked to both the children for a long time, so he asked the servant to take the children. Subsequently, he picked up the phone and walked outside to speak to Nell alone.
âHow is everything over there? All good?â
Nell saw that Gideonâs video lagged twice. Then, he looked like he was sitting inside a car.
She nodded and replied, âNot bad. How about you?â
Gideon smiled slightly. His handsome face looked especially chiseled on the screen, and right now, there was a hint of warmth.
âIâm good too, but better when youâre around.â
Nell grinned upon hearing his answer.
Although she knew he was saying that to make her happy, she could not help but feel happiness radiate all through her body.
Gideon fastened his seatbelt and asked her, âDid you miss me over the last two days?â
Nell felt slightly embarrassed because she was in a public restaurant, and Nancy Murray was sitting next to her.
Her petite face blushed. She glanced around and replied shyly, âYes.â
Inside the video broadcast, the man seemed happy to hear her answer.
âI miss you too.â
He said softly, as if not caring that the driver and Matthew Starks was looking at him. He added sincerely, âI miss you a lot.â
Nellâs tiny face turned hot unexpectedly.
Strictly speaking, she had been married to Gideon Leith for four years.

It was not until she married Gideon Leith, that she realized this was not the case.
