Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 577

The two were just walking towards the elevator when they saw a young man wearing gold-rimmed spectacles coming out of the private elevator and he politely bowed down to Jean and Moore, and said, "Ms. Jean and Mr. Moore, please walk this way."

They looked at each other and then, followed the young man that signaled them to the private elevator.

With his guidance, the elevator went up to the top floor and it directly opened to Zed's office.

"The CEO is still in a meeting, please wait inside,"

instructed by the young man, as he pushed to open the door for them.

To which Jean replied, "Thank you."

After the man had left, she looked to Moore and said, "Come on, let's go inside."

"Why do you want to come here when you know Zed is too busy to see you?" Moore asked as he helped Jean settled on the couch.

"Well, I need to take care of him! He is such a workaholic. And I won't get to see him earlier if I don't come. And if he will continue this kind of lifestyle, I'm afraid his health will be in bad shape. And besides, if he knows I'm here, he will leave work early," Jean answered and felt satisfied with her own response.

Moore shook his head and said, "You know what, you impressed me a lot. You are far too different from the other girls I know."

"Well, I know that!" Jean smiled at Moore. "Do you find me weird? And interfering with Zed's work? But, Moore, you have to understand, I'm his wife and his health is my priority. And I think, he doesn't need to work that hard and we don't need a lot of money. We have each other and that's what matters."

In fact, Jean was a very simple woman. What Zed was making was already enough for her.

So there was no point for making more money. And it could be quite exhausting. Zed hardly had a rest.

Moore looked at her in surprise, his heart beating fast.

'So this is the real you, simple and easily pleased.'

He couldn't help but close his eyes and felt the bitterness in his heart.

'If I had met her sooner, would things be different now?

I could have been the man she's with, loving and cherishing her.

Moore, quit this nonsense.'

Moore shook his head, and though it was hard, he needed to let go of his stupid thoughts.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control his feelings for her.

There was a knock at the door and a fine-looking lady came in holding a silver tray. On it were, two cups of coffee and appetizing desserts for each. With a smile, she put it on the table.

And still with her smile, she silently and politely went out of the room.

Once the door was closed, Jean took the coffee in front of her and had a sip. She noticed Moore looked bothered so she asked out of concern, "Are you okay?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Moore replied as he picked up the coffee. As he took a sip, he started to inspect the office.

Jean noticed that he's avoiding something. She shrugged and sighed, "Well…I really don't know when Zed will finish his work. I'm starving."

"How's the dessert? " He looked at her and said, "You can take a bite and we can have dinner back home."

"I don't feel like eating at home today. " Jean shook her head at Moore's suggestion and added, "I am craving for some spicy boiled fish. Let's have that tonight. What do you think? "

"Are you sure you want to eat spicy food? " Moore asked to confirm.
