Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 199

"I'm on a hurry trip, so I don't want to disturb you this time."

Christian slowly walked over with a slightly lazy expression, as his gaze landed on Isabella, "Isn't this Miss Jones of Benton Technology?"

Isabella rolled her eyes in her heart. "What an actor." She thought. 

But on the surface, she still had to courteously greet him, "Good day, Mr. Miller."

Shawn's eyes flashed and told his secretary, "Cindy, take her to change clothes first."

"Oh, okay." the secretary nodded and looked at Isabella, "Miss Jones, follow me."

"Ugh … no need. Mr. Simons, Mr. Miller, I think you two should have something to talk about. I'll go to the opposite room, and you guys go ahead. " Isabella said. It was unknown if it was because Christian had let her feel safer, but she suddenly felt more confident.

"John!" With that, she looked at John. With clothes still in her embrace, she lifted the curtain and went to the opposite room.

Cindy froze, and she carefully looked at Shawn.

Shawn was silent for two seconds, then waved his hand, "You should go too. Take care of them."

"Okay, Mr. Simons."

Christian also glanced at Steven, "You go over too."

"Yes."

Soon, only two men remained in the room.

Shawn smiled, "Mr. Miller, do you want something to eat?"

Christian raised his hand and undid the buttons on his suit at a casual pace. His handsome figure was stable and reserved, and his eyes drooped slightly, covering all the emotions in his eyes. He smiled faintly, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, so yes, I would like to have some."

Seeing that he had unceremoniously sat down, Shawn frowned, then smiled, "Do you come to London for work, or just for some person, Mr. Miller?"

Christian didn't even raise his head to look at him, and instead seemed to be seriously admiring the dishes in front of him, as he indifferently replied, "Both, actually."

Compared to Shawn's current deep state, Christian was even more composed, even his speech had a hint of laziness, without any passion or seriousness.

Shawn poured a glass of wine that the restaurant owner had given him anew. He shifted his gaze and looked at him, then said slowly, "Speaking of person, I suddenly realised that every time I'm with Miss Jones, I can always meet you as well, Mr. Miller. It's really strange. Those that don't know might think that she has some sort relationship with you."

Christian picked up the small wine glass and clinked it with Shawn's, drinking up the wine and placing the glass down. Then he calmly said, "Ah, you mentioned it. It seems that your attitude towards this little manager is quite special. There are so many executives in a company, but not many people can make you personally treat her on dinner. What virtue or ability does she have? Or perhaps, have forgotten about your wife, Mr. Simons?"

The casual sentence caused Shawn's calm expression to abruptly change. A dark gloom even surged out from the bottom of his eyes as he spoke word by word. "You investigated me?"

Few people knew about his marriage.

Christian poured himself another glass of wine, and leisurely said, "You're not the only one who can investigate people."

Shawn suddenly narrowed his eyes. He looked at Christian and asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to say?"

Christian finally raised his face and looked directly at him. His eyes that were as deep as an abyss were filled with cold ridicule, "There are all sorts of business methods, and you've also seen quite a few. The reason why you spent so much effort to do all these things is only to target me. Since you've already known everything, why are you still testing me?"

Shawn studied him for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a low laugh, "Just because you were afraid that I would do something to her, you want to make things clear to me now? Mr. Miller, this is unlike you. "
