A Naive Bride for the Sophisticated CEO novel Chapter 32

Amelia drove to the company herself. She was happy she could still remember all she was taught at school about driving.

James left the house the same time she left too. He didn’t say a word to her but she went ahead to greet him. She wasn’t bothered that he didn’t give her a response. She wanted to focus on the positives alone.

She got to her desk at the office and arranged it. She missed the table so much. If not for Helen, she would have never had the chance to work in his company anymore.

She began to work on her laptop shortly, when she heard someone approaching. She lifted her head and saw Tina standing in front of her.

“Hi, Tina. Good morning.” She let out a bright smile.

“Hm,” Tina responded and narrowed her gaze at her.

Amelia creased her brows and stared at her. She had no idea why ‘Hm’ was her response.

“You seem quite happy. I wasn’t expecting that,” Tina teased.

“What do you mean?”

“You are living in James’ house now. I believe that is the worse place you can be. But you seem to be coping very well. I hope that lasts long though.”

Tina chuckled and tucked her hair at the back of her ear before heading to James’ door.

“Thank you for coming to our wedding!” Amelia added before Tina could knock on the door.

“You don’t have to thank me. It isn’t the kind of wedding I would love to attend anyways. I had to because of my dear friend.”

She rolled her eyes and finally opened the door to James’ office. Amelia heaved a sigh as soon as she was gone and looked at her laptop again.

“Thank God his parents aren’t like him and his friends. They are so mean,” She mumbled to herself, before finally concentrating.

Tina got into the office and met James on his PC too.

“Woah. Why are you all so busy today? What’s new?” She asked, and James raised his head and looked at her.

He heaved a sigh and looked at his laptop again.

“It’s Monday, Tina. A serious person would be busy. Why are you here today?” He asked.

“What do you mean? I’m here because I want to see my friend. Is there anything bad about that?”

“Of course not. But you have to know I won’t pay too much attention to you. I will be going to Florida by noon. I would love to visit the Casino. It’s been a year.”

“Oh. That’s cool. Well, I came here because I’m on leave from work. Tell me, how was the woman I gave to you last night?”

She sat on the chair in front of his desk and began to grin boastfully.

“There was nothing special about her. She didn’t satisfy me to the peak, and she is just dumb. I wonder where you found that one.”

“Really? Wow. I’m sorry about that. I’ll make it up to you then. I’ll find you a better woman next time.”

He shook his head and smirked. “You don’t have to.”

“Why? Because you are married?”

He rolled his eyes and looked at her.

“This has nothing to do with my being married. In Fact, I am not married, okay? I just prefer I do the picking instead. I always find the better one myself. I will do that in Florida today.”

“Hm.” She bounced her head and sighed.

“You haven’t thought of getting between her legs? I mean your wife.”

“No. I don’t think that thought would ever cross my mind. Nothing about her turns me on.”

All this while, James talked with a straight face, keeping his attention fixed on his laptop.

Amelia stood in front of his office, her ear glued to the door, listening to everything they were discussing.

James’ last statement shattered her heart more than the other things they had been discussing.

‘Even after trying to look sexy for him, it still doesn’t work. What will I do to satisfy him?’

She walked away from the door and sat on her seat. She picked the document he had asked her to prepare and headed to his door again.

She knocked on the door and didn’t wait for him to tell her to go in before she did.

“Here are the documents, Mr. James. I prepared them already.”

She walked to his desk and placed the file on his table. She looked at Tina and clenched her jaws angrily.

‘You are the bad friend that introduces him to all these bad girls, hun?’

Tina noticed how Amelie was looking at her, and she creased her brows and spoke up; “Why are you staring at me like that?”

Amelia ignored her question and looked at James again. He was busy checking through the file she had prepared.

“Get ready to present this in Florida. There’s a meeting we need to attend there. I wouldn’t be able to attend because I would love to visit my Casino. You would have to represent the company there. Explain some few things in the file and you’ll be fine.”

“I would go to the meeting alone?!” Her eyes widened, and he stopped looking at the file and shot her a deadly look.
