Wait, She’s a Billionaire

“Howard?”

With only the two of them in the office, Sheena did not bother with formalities.

Howard abruptly turned around, exclaiming, “Surprise!”

Then, he swiftly opened the lunchbox in his hand, which gave off a tantalizing aroma..

“Auntie Gloria said I’m mistreating you by letting you eat cafeteria food often. So, she made you your favorite pot roast. Are you surprised?”

Sheena chuckled at his sudden childishness and teased, “So, this is the ‘urgent matter‘ you mentioned?”

Howard set down the lunchbox and approached Sheena, dotingly saying, “My little princess needs her meal, and that’s my top priority.”

Sheena did not say anything, but her bright smile betrayed her feelings.

Howard guided her to the sofa, where an array of dishes and soup was laid on the coffee table. Then, he brought over the pot roast from his desk.

Sheena took a whiff and was impressed with Auntie Gloria’s exceptional culinary skills. The food here easily surpassed the cafeteria’s offerings.

“It’s delicious, no doubt, but let’s not make this a regular thing for lunch. People might get suspicious if I keep showing up here to share meals with you,” Sheena commented while eating.

Howard chuckled, “Ever since you arrived, Auntie Gloria stopped listening to me. You’ll have to talk to her yourself when you go home tonight.”

Sheena nodded, lowering her head to continue her meal. She was genuinely hungry and truly loved Auntie Gloria’s cooking.

Observing Sheena devour her food, Howard could not help but playfully touch her nose.

Sheena responded with a smile and kept on eating.

As they chatted and ate, the atmosphere in the office became lively and relaxed.

Yuri suddenly knocked and stood at the doorway, whispering, “Mr. Lawson, Ms. Upton is here.

Sheena instinctively glanced at Howard, only to notice his expression turned sour almost instantly.

Yuri’s expression was also quite strange as he added, “She’s been waiting outside for a while now. Should I let her in?”

Without much thought, Howard replied, “No. I’m busy.”

With that, Yuri left. Once the door closed, the spacious office returned to its comfortable ambiance.

Howard picked a piece of beef and added it to Sheena’s bowl. “Eat more. You’re too thin.”

Sheena absentmindedly agreed and asked, “Howard, don’t you like your fiancee?”

Howard’s face instantly turned cold, and he said in disgust, “Fiancee? She doesn’t deserve that title. She’s nothing more than a shameless opportunist.”

Judging from his expression, there seemed to be quite a story behind their engagement. However, Sheena refrained from prying since he appeared unwilling to say more.

Even so, Sheena could not help but be curious about how shameless Katie was. After all, Howard was a gentle person, and Katie must have done something extreme for Howard to hate her.

Noticing the mischievous glint in her eyes, Howard interrupted her train of thought, “What are you thinking about? Eat your meal.”

Sheena nodded obediently. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

In about ten minutes, Sheena finished her meal. When she left Howard’s office, she immediately spotted Katie, who was still pestering Yuri nearby.

Katie seemed to have run out of patience, and she was starting to threaten Yuri.

Sheena looked away and went straight toward the elevator.

“Stop right there!”

A high–pitched voice called out from behind.

Suddenly, Sheena’s wrist was grabbed, and Katie appeared before her.

“It’s you! Why did you come out from Howard’s office?”

Sheena smiled and replied, “Mr. Lawson invited me for lunch. Naturally, I didn’t refuse his kind offer.”

Before she could finish, Katie was already fuming with rage.
