Chapter 500
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
Lina Sweeney sneaked a glance at Hadwin Stephenson. âHmm, he looks good in a suit. He looks rather handsome! He is indeed very good-looking! No wonder I was so rash to do such a thing to him when I got drunk back then.
âOn that note, he does have a good physique. Although heâs a little on the skinny side, heâs muscularly firmâ¦â Lina Sweeney recalled the time she saw Hadwin Stephenson in his full naked glory as she looked at himâ¦
Her complexion immediately flushed red, and she quickly looked down. She was telling herself to stop thinking of such nonsense.
Hadwin Stephenson caught sight of Lina Sweeney who was at a corner with her head lowered. He was unsure of what was going through her mind.
Looking at her figure, Hadwin Stephensonâs lips inadvertently curved into a small smile.
The boss said to Hadwin Stephenson, âMr. Stephenson, we can begin.â
âOkay.â
Thus, the boss started the meeting. He began by introducing Hadwin Stephenson, then he introduced some of the past projects done by the firm.
He did not forget to mention Hattie Robson as well. âThis is our youngest designer. Donât think that her age is too young as her father is a famous designer in the industry. She has won an international award as well. Some of her designs are very creative. Later if you have the time, Chairman Stephenson, you can have a look at her designs as well.â
Hattie Robson quickly stood up and put her best foot forward. âNice to meet you, Chairman Stephenson. Iâm Hattie Robson. This is our first meeting. I hope youâll teach me a thing or two in the future.â
âOh, I know you,â Hadwin Stephenson lazily replied.
Hattie Robson was pleasantly surprised. âWhatâs going on? Did he say that he knows me? Has he seen my past designs and was captivated by them?â
Hattie Robsonâs heart began to leap erratically.
Lina Sweeney, who was hiding at a corner, finally looked up and stared at Hadwin Stephenson. She inexplicably felt a bad premonition as if⦠something was going to happen.
Hadwin Stephensonâs subsequent words made Lina Sweeneyâs body stiffen as her premonition came to fruition.
âMy girlfriend mentioned you to me once,â Hadwin Stephenson said.
âGirlfriend?â Hattie Robson was taken aback as a sense of disappointment rose within her heart. She did not expect that the man already had a girlfriend. It was as if she lost a chance, even though she already had a boyfriend.
However, she was then curious about who his girlfriend was.
Was it someone she knew?
âI heard that you and my girlfriend got into a fight till both of you ended up in the police station and that it was over your boyfriend. By the way, who is your boyfriend? I want to see what he looks like because it seems yesterdayâs scuffle happened due to you presuming that my girlfriendâs interested in your boyfriend?â
When Hadwin Stephenson said that, everyoneâs gaze landed on Hattie Robson, Taylor Carline⦠and Lina Sweeney who was hiding at a corner.
Even if Hadwin Stephenson did not mention names stating who was his girlfriend, the whole firm knew that Lina Sweeney and Hattie Robson had been involved in a scuffle yesterday over Taylor Carline.
