Chapter 178
The Substitute Bride Doted by My Billionaire Husband
Chapter 178 Trying to be the person she likes The picture was taken in the pharmacy. Olive had reached out and tugged at Marvinâs clothes. The reposts and comments which flowed in had reached a peak of traffic.
âOlive is so awesome!â
âAcademician Marvin and Olive had joined forces together for that shocking surgery two years ago. It was all fate.â
âAlthough Olive is already married, I just canât help but think that this two are perfect match!â
Elvis placed his phone on the table. His handsome face was emotionless, but everyone could feel that the CEO was unhappy.
Everyone in the room were so frightened that they didnât dare to breath loudly, for the feared that they would draw the CEOâs anger on themselves.
The meeting finally ended. Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Throughout the meeting, the CEO did nothing other than tap his fingers on the table and unbuttoned his shirt.
The meeting had gone quite smoothly, and it was now time for the close of work.
Elvis stood up and said indifferently.
âHave a rest yâall. Come to my room in ten for a financial meeting.â
âOkay, sir.â The workers chorused respectfully.
After that, Elvis walked on steady steps and left the meeting room.
Once the executives were certain that Elvis was out of sight, they let out a murmur.
They knew that, that was bound to be how the day would end. Whenever the CEO was in a bad mood, he would turn himself into a workaholic, thereby making them work overtime. âSecretary Andrew, whatâs the matter with the president? Why is he in a very bad mood?â âSecretary Andrew, who offended the CEO?â
The executives grabbed Elvisâs private secretary and asked loudly.
Andrew shook his head and said professionally, âThis is the CEOâs personal issue. I really canât say. Everyone, prepare for the meeting in ten. If anything goes wrong during the meeting, we all should prepare to stay here overnight.â
Andrewâs subtext was that the CEOâs issue wasnât anyoneâs buisness. But if the CEO wasnât impressed later at the meeting, itâll be everyoneâs business, because, everyone would have to stay overnight untill the CEO was impressed with the outcome of the meeting.
In the CEOâs office, Andrew walked in with a cup of coffee and said respectfully, âCEO, your coffee is here.â
Elvis was standing beside the window. The neon light reflected on his handsome face, making him more handsome.
Elvis dipped his left hand into his pocket and held his phone with his right hand. His handsome eyelids dropped down, and he focused on the phone.
Andrew placed the coffee on the desk and muttered hesitantly, âCEO, if you want to call your wife, then go ahead and call her. Itâs very late now, should be on her way home, If not home.â
Andrew saw Elvis go through the internet over and over again. During the meeting. Elvis was still browsing through the internet. Andrew had been with Elvis for six years. His CEO was slowly doing things that he had never done before. He could feel that his CEO was changing for his wifeâs sake.
Andrew did not know if he was thinking right or not. But all he knew was that his CEO treated his wife with love and care.
Elvis retracted his phone. He looked at the neon sign outside the window and said in a low voice, âSheâs a good girl. She will come back if she wants.â
Andrew brought the coffee over to where he stood.
âCEO, why do you think so? Itâs normal for husband and wife to be jealous sometimes. If you wanna check up on her, then go ahead.â
Elvis knew that he really wanted calling her. It was the best and logical thing to do. And he also wanted her explain why she had dragged Marvinâs shirt.
However, Elvis didnât place the call.
He stood quitely at the window side as if he had nothing doing. The words of Bounty kept echoing in his ears.
Bounty had urged him to let go of Olive. And that she belonged to Marvin, since he met her first. A raging fire was already burning in his chest. He felt jealous, suspicious, mindful, and gloomy all at once.
But Elvis did not express his feelings. He suppressed all the turmoils in his heart, and tried to act as though he was not bothered.
Else curved his thin lips into a shallow arc, and finally said in a low voice, âShe has always made me believe in her. Iâm busy at the moment, so I believe that sheâs fine.
The financial meeting was held in the CEOâs office. Elvis had taken his sit on the main seat after finishing two sticks of cigarettes.
The financial director handed over the report to him. Elvis knocked the files away sharply.
âIs this what you made?â
The chief financial officer looked aggrieved. He was only given ten minutes, it was not easy for him to sort out the files within such time frame.
Elvis raised his hand and threw the report into the air, causing the paper to fly.
Immediately Elvis was done speaking, the office fell into a suppressed state.
The door knob clicked, and the door opened. A slender white hand reached out and pushed the door.
Then, a palmâsized face quietly came into view, with a pair of clear and dark eyes poring into the office.
The executives diverted their gaze to the figure. They wondered who it was, and why she would dare to appear in the CEOâs private lounge.
Hearing the cracking sound from the door, Elvis turned his head and immediately met Oliveâs piercing, yet tentative, watery eyes.
