Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear novel Chapter 40

When Jeanne saw everyone in the private room clearly, she knew she had been tricked by Monica.

She turned around and was about to leave.

Monica grabbed her. "Sister Jeanne."

Usually, when Monica had something to ask of Jeanne, she would call her that.

Jeanne looked grim.

"You finally came back, and we haven't gathered like this for a long time. Please do me the honor of spending some time with me." Monica acted coquettishly.

Jeanne looked at her coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes. It's my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you, but would you have come out if I didn't say that?" Monica said with a fawning look.

At this moment, Finn also walked over. "Have a seat. We'll be leaving soon too."

Jeanne looked at Finn and nodded slowly.

Monica's heart was breaking.

'Does Jeanne really fancy Finn?!'

Monica had just said a lot, but it was nothing compared to what Finn had said.

She watched in displeasure as Jeanne walked into the private room.

Jeanne chose a corner and sat down.

Monica sat next to her with a fawning look. "Jeannie, what song do you want to sing? I'll queue it for you."

"I'm not singing."

"Let's have a drink then?"

"I'm not drinking."

"Do you want to eat snacks?"

"No."

"Jeannie..."

"You can play on your own. I know how to kill time." Jeanne was indifferent.

Monica saw that Jeanne really did not like this environment, so she rubbed her nose and went to have fun by herself.

Jeanne took out her phone and sat on the side to play a little game to kill time.

She was clearing a round in the game.

"Ms. Lawrence." A man walked over, holding a glass of wine.

Jeanne looked up.

"Nox. Do you still remember me, Ms. Lawrence?" Nox introduced himself.

Jeanne smiled. "Of course, we played mahjong together."

Nox also smiled. "Actually, we met more than once.

Seven years ago..."

"Mr. Winter." Jeanne interrupted him. "If you'd like to drink with me, I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me these few days."

Nox was naturally not stupid. He knew that Jeanne did not want to say much, so he smiled and said, "Please help yourself then."

Jeanne smiled.

Nox returned to his seat and chatted with Fourth Master Swan and Finn while drinking.

Jeanne continued to lower her head and play with her phone.

"Miss, here's your plain water." The waiter suddenly approached.

Jeanne was stunned. "Thank you."

The waiter left respectfully.

At 10:30 pm, Finn said to Monica, who was still singing affectionately, "Monica, it's getting late. It's time to go back."

"It's only past 10:00 pm." Monica was obviously not satisfied.

"Everyone has something to do tomorrow."

Monica was helpless. She put down the microphone. "Let's go then."

She turned around and walked toward Jeanne. "Jeannie, let's go."

"Okay." Jeanne stood up.

Everyone also stood up from their seats.

Monica looked at Fourth Master Swan and had an idea. She suddenly asked, "Fourth master, did you drink?"

Fourth Master Swan looked at Monica. "What do you think?"

"Jeannie hasn't drunk. Why don't you let her send you back?" Monica arranged the matter and added, "Finn, Nox, and I drank. We can't send you back."

Fourth Master Swan turned to look at Jeanne.

Jeanne knew what Monica was thinking.

Monica was trying to set her up with Fourth Master Swan...

It was just that Fourth Master Swan was out of Jeanne's league.

Jeanne casually picked up the wine glass beside her and suddenly emptied it.

Monica was dumbfounded.

The others also seemed to be... surprised.

Jeanne said calmly, "I drank too. I can't drive, so I can't send Fourth Master back."
