Incident
According to Primrose and Joel, their marriage will not be made public until they are ready. So, except for close family members and a few people in the same department as Primrose who were at the company party the day before, most people didn't know that Primrose was Joel's wife.
Today, Primrose needed Joel's company to discuss with him the latest collaboration. She did not understand what Joel wanted, but she signed a cooperation contract with her company and then appointed the person to discuss the project with her.
The department manager at the party was also present, so knowing Primrose's identity, he just gently informed her about the details of the contract and told her not to stress. Initially, Primrose was also working on this project but did not know that the company they cooperated with this time was Joel's company. Moreover, this contract is relatively important, and normally the department manager will come to discuss the project. This time, the person who brought the contract to sign was Primrose; she couldn't help but be tense, not understanding what Joel meant.
The text message bell just sounded as if Primrose had just left the director's office; it was a message from Joel.
"Do you need me to come pick you up?"
This was too exaggerated, and Primrose also felt it was unnecessary. Although she no longer drives to work, booking a taxi is not a problem. Not to mention, if Joel appears here now, there will be colleagues who think that Primrose relying on her husband to get a high position in this project is not good.
After receiving Primrose's rejection message, Joel did not hesitate to add another message.
"Okay. So I'm waiting for you in my room; I've already prepared lunch for you, all of which you like to eat."
It was quite late now, and by the time Primrose finished discussing with Joel, it was just in time for lunch. Joel personally prepared food for the two of them so that he and Primrose could eat together.
For two days now, in the evening, Primrose has been going to the bar to have fun, not allowing him to go with him or spend time with him in the evening as before. He was worried about the distance between the two, so he conveniently had a project working with Primrose's company, so he directly appointed Primrose to discuss and sign the contract.
All relevant details have been agreed upon in advance, so Primrose's appearance in the signing ceremony will not cause any trouble for the cooperation of the two sides. Moreover, having more time with Primrose without affecting work is the best option that Joel can think of.
"Okay, now that I'm about to leave, it will come soon."
After finishing the message, Primrose returned to her seat, took her bag and coat, conveniently parked her car, and left. Holding the contract in hand while riding in a taxi to Joel's company, Primrose still had to pout and exclaim. Joel really made her go from surprise to surprise.
Primrose had just entered the company, and before he had time to notify the front desk, he saw Joel's assistant come over with a gentle smile.
"Are you Primrose? I'm Arthur; the general manager told me to come down here and take you to his room."
Primrose looked at the friendly brown-haired boy in front of him, nodded, and followed him forward. Arthur, who was very familiar with the way things were done in the company, soon led Primrose to the top floor, stood in front of the room door, made an invitation gesture, and quickly helped Primrose open the door.
"You've come?" Want something to drink first?"
On the table were all kinds of drinks, from milk tea to coffee, for refreshment, and Primrose could not help but laugh when she saw it. She walked in, smiled goodbye to Arthur's assistant, and put down her bag.
"I came here to discuss contracts with you; at work, we are just partners."
Hearing Primrose's somewhat serious voice, Joel pouted slightly, clearly not agreeing with the term "partner," which sounded too distant.
"Okay, I want to drink milk tea, the kind with taro flavor."
At this time, Joel was satisfied with giving milk tea to Primrose and taking the document she gave him.
"Here are the details of the contract. You take a look, and if there is a part that you don't agree with, we will discuss it again."
Primrose took a sip of milk tea and then said, Quickly getting into work mode. Joel looked at the contract document, also reading it very seriously, no longer wearing a somewhat joking expression like before.
After Joel finished watching, the two discussed the project for the next few hours. Although Primrose was not the originally chosen person to discuss the contract, she was also a participant in the project, so the questions Joel posed were basically answerable. After Joel asked about the project details, he was also very satisfied and couldn't help but pat Primrose's head.
"Understand, my wife is so good, I pose a difficult question you can solve anyway."
Joel happily signed the contracts, then gave them to Primrose, which he took and carefully put in his bag. The discussion ended successfully.
"Now, no more talking about work; I am your husband again. What do you want to eat for lunch today? Let me message Arthur to help us prepare."
Primrose had already had half a cup of milk tea, so she wasn't too hungry right now, so she casually told Joel.
"Just give me a chicken salad."
Joel was very unhappy with this answer, pinching Primrose's cheek in the complaint.
"Don't eat so little; let me order you some more. You are too slim now."
Primrose also did not refuse, watching Joel call Arthur in and tell him to prepare a long list of nutritious dishes. Primrose sat in a boring place, took his phone, and texted the department director about successfully getting Joel's signature. He just brought the contract back to the company and let the director of her company sign it to complete the process. submit.
"Good, hard work, Primrose. It's almost time for lunch; you can rest for a while and then go to lunch; come back to the company later in the afternoon."
The department manager is a gentle and not strict person, so after finishing the contract, he did not force Primrose to quickly return to the company. Primrose comfortably leaned back, sighing lazily.
The food arrived quickly, and Joel ordered a lot of food, all of which Primrose used to eat and loved very much. Primrose ate a chicken salad while eating a piece of beef in a small box, sighing quietly.
Luckily, she wasn't going on a diet; otherwise, this one table would have directly ruined her efforts.
"Don't just eat beef; eat more grilled chicken, Primrose."
Joel pushed the box of grilled chicken towards Primrose, and Primrose also obediently ate a piece of chicken. The seasoning is marinated just right: a little salty and a little sweet, served with a little salad to adjust the taste. Moreover, although the chicken was cooked, the inside was still soft. Primrose involuntarily ate another piece, quietly exclaiming, Indeed, this taste is well worth their expensive price.
After Primrose finished eating, she got up to wash her hands, and Joel was worried that she was not familiar with the sugar in the company, so he wanted to take her away, making Primrose unable to help but laugh.
"There's no need to be so pompous, right? I'm an adult; can't I find my way to the toilet by myself?"
Primrose finished speaking and went out fluently, successfully finding the restroom at the end of the corridor. Before she could enter, she heard a woman's excited voice coming from inside.
"Mia, you will soon meet with the general manager's assistant to discuss the contract to become the representative of this new product. This is a great opportunity for you to become even more famous; remember to act elegantly."
Primrose stopped walking slightly, and from where she was standing, she happened to see the woman's face reflected in the mirror. She has bright white skin, so the black dress on her body accentuates that glossy skin. Blonde-dyed hair is dropped on her shoulders, loose and seductive. An elegant face, beautiful thin eyebrows, a high and slim nose bridge, and red lips added with a layer of lip gloss are extremely eye-catching.
She was fixing her hair in the mirror, very attentive.
Both beautiful and appealing to women, as well as visually appealing. Even though Primrose was a woman, she had to look a few more times.
"Assistant? Why didn't Joel come directly to the contract table with me? I mentioned before that I wanted to work directly with Joel, so I purposely dressed and made up like this to come here."
Mia stopped moving, disgruntledly lamenting. Primrose was about to enter when the movement stopped. Suddenly hearing Joel's name from someone else's mouth made her somewhat unprepared.
"You know, Joel is the general manager, so he won't directly negotiate things like this; so far, it has been assigned to assistants. I also told you yesterday."
Mia, at this time, somewhat lost her temper and began to blame the person next to her.
"I have never met an agent as incompetent as you; just setting an appointment for me to meet Joel can't do it. Did you know that if I manage to seduce Joel and become his wife, I can quickly get his support and become the most popular actor?"
Primrose heard that but could only shake her head in dismay. She and Joel have agreed not to publicize their marriage to the press, so many assume that Joel is single. Moreover, with Joel's good looks and wealth, many girls want to flirt with him to succeed in becoming rich women.
This thought of Mia made Primrose feel that her beauty was no longer so dazzling.
Primrose casually went inside to wash her hands. Mia and the manager were also quite stunned by her appearance, quickly keeping quiet. Primrose also pretended not to hear anything; after washing her hands, she fluently took lipstick from her bag to repaint it, but suddenly heard Mia's laughter next to her.
