Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 726

It was the phone number of the emerald tycoon.

Tim got it with tremendous efforts. However, the tycoon didn't answer the phone calls from strangers. Time didn't expect Maia to actually have his phone number.

Tim looked at Maia with a complicated expression.

It seemed that Maia was no ordinary woman.

Did she still need to work for Nicole's small travel agency now that she knew such a person?

The answer was no.

Also thanks to Maia's attitude towards him, Tim became more determined about this.

Maia quickly got through to the tycoon's phone.

"Maia, why are you calling me now? You didn't call me even if I invited you before."

Tim didn't like the way that person spoke with Maia.

Maia said with a smile, "Uncle Jase, a friend of mine wants to do emerald business. You are expert in this sector. Do you have any suggestions for him?"

"A friend? Your boyfriend? I’m glad to help if it’s your boyfriend."

The tycoon bantered her.

Maia was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Tim, who made no responses. Then she smiled and said, "Uncle Jase, stop chaffing me."

"I'm serious. If it is your boyfriend, I will help him. If not, I have to reconsider about it. The emerald market is in a worse condition as the raw materials are becoming harder to get. And its price will keep rising. If he just wants to test the water, don't do it."

Hearing Jase's words, Maia was in a dilemma.

Looking at Tim, she said, "Uncle Jase, would you help me if I say he is my boyfriend?"

"Of course."

"Well, if you say so."

Maia's words made Tim's eyes flash for a moment. Then he calmed down.

"Alright then, bring him to see me. Since you say he is your boyfriend, I have to keep an eye on him for you."

And then, Jase hung up the phone.

Maia looked at Tim embarrassedly and said, "Sorry. If I didn't say that just now, Uncle Jase would refuse to help. The emerald business here is under his control. It's better to ask him for help than others. Why don't you pretend to be my boyfriend? You can break up after you get the supplies?"

"I've told you that I don't mind being your boyfriend. It's true."

Tim stood up and left after saying that.

Suddenly his heart was sick.

He did not insist on getting this business done, nor did he insist on going into the emerald market. It was just that he was unable to see through Maia, which made him feel uncomfortable. He would like to see how Maia could explain the lie away.

Seeing that Tim left, Maia thought that he could not accept this approach to getting business done. She followed him out.

"Tim, I know that you like to be open and honest, but you can also take extraordinary measures to deal with something."

"Like what?"

Tim looked straight at Maia, her gaze so sharp that Maia couldn't bear it.

Maia was slightly shocked. She thought what Tim said meant something else, but she didn't know why. She thought for a while and said, "What kind of things do you want me to explain to you?"

"Forget it. I'm going out to get some air. Don't follow me."

After finishing speaking, he went out.

Maia looked at his back and didn't understand what was wrong with him. She could only go back to her room alone.

When Tim came out, a cool breeze was blowing, which made him calm down. But he still felt depressed. It was as if there was a fireball in his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He realized that he didn't have any friends. The people he could think of at this time were Samuel and Nicole.

Tim called Nicole.

Samuel woke up from his drunkenness and had a terrible headache.

Nicole hurriedly went to get him some sober tea.

Suddenly, Nicole's phone rang.

Seeing that the caller ID was Tim, Samuel frowned slightly and picked it up.

"Nicole, there's something wrong with Maia. Can you believe that she actually knows the emerald tycoon? How can someone who knows the tycoon work in your little travel agency? Don't you think you should have her thoroughly vetted?"

"Why don't you do it if you think there is a problem?"

Tim was shocked when he heard Samuel's voice.

He took a look at his phone. The person he called was indeed Nicole!

"Samuel, do you think this is funny? How could you pick it up when I call Nicole? Do you know it is personal privacy? Do you get Nicole's permission to touch her phone?"

Tim was already in a bad mood, but now he became even angrier because Samuel answered Nicole's phone call.

Samuel did not get angry and said indifferently, "Nicole went to make me sober tea."

"You're so happy! Even if you're drunk, you have no right! How could you let her make sober tea for you! Samuel, are you a man? Do you have the nerve to make your own woman do this for you? "

"Are you jealous? Tim, are you jealous of me?"

Samuel said with a faint smile.

Tim immediately became irritated.

"I'm jealous of you? Are you kidding me? Who am I? I'm the charming Tim! I've had more women than you've ever seen. You say I'm jealous of you? I'm jealous of you bastard!"

"You can be jealous of me. It doesn't matter. I don't mind it."

"Shame on you! Samuel, I finally believe that we can never get along well with each other. I'm hanging up! When Nicole comes back, ask her to call me back."

And then Tim hung up the phone.
