Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 4

Lumma was speechless when hearing Leonard’s words.

She was a little surprised that he dared to gossip about Adam.

But Lumma held the same view when she thought of Adam’s smile while mentioning his wife yesterday and his long face this morning.

Lumma looked at Adam and saw him swing the golf club gracefully, and a ball went into the hole smoothly.

Scott was not lucky. He swung several times and missed the goal every time.

After a few rounds, he beckoned for water.

Seeing this, Lumma hurriedly handed Adam a bottle of water and a towel.

Scott looked at Lumma up and down carefully…

Lumma was wearing a white shirt and a knee-length skirt. Her long hair was tied into a bun, revealing her slender and fair neck. She wore light makeup, making her clean and decent. Her dress and makeup were very normal in the workplace.

Scott kept staring at her breast as if Lumma was wearing nothing. “Mr. Hills, your new assistant is young and beautiful, and she has a perfect figure.”

Adam nodded with a light smile and didn’t speak.

Scott smiled and said to Lumma, “Ms. Louis, do you know how to play golf?”

As the assistant to the president, Lumma knew a little, but she was not proficient, and it was not her turn to play on this occasion.

“Sorry. I’m not good at it.” She hated the way Scott looked at her, but she didn’t dare to do anything on this occasion. She took Adam’s bottle of water and prepared to step aside.

Unexpectedly, Scott patted her buttocks and put his hand around her waist. “Don’t worry. I can teach you.”

Lumma instinctively stepped on Scott’s foot hard. Scott withdrew his hand in pain and gave her a glare.

After breaking free, Lumma immediately stepped aside and looked at Adam worriedly…

If she offended the client in this kind of business negotiation, she might be fired.

However, Adam’s low voice suddenly sounded. “Mr. Reid, she is mine.”

He looked at Scott and didn’t have any expression, but the slightly squinted eyes under his silver-rimmed glasses frame showed that he was very displeased.

Scott seemed to be enlightened and smiled. “Mr. Hills, sorry. I didn’t know it. I’ll treat you to lunch as an apology.”

Scott was talking to Adam, but his disgusting gaze did not move away from Lumma. He said, “I thought you were not interested in women like the rumors. I can wait since you’re not tired of her right now.”

“Mr. Reid, you should apologize to her!” Adam played with the golf club with a faint smile, still unable to see his emotions.

Scott was stunned for a while. He said with a smile, “Mr. Hills, we are partners. She is just your plaything…”

The word “plaything” pierced Lumma’s heart like poisoned needles, and some bad memories from the past came back to her mind.

She got the job and made money on her own. She didn’t understand why she should be humiliated just because she was a girl and looked pretty.

Before Adam spoke, Lumma said, “Mr. Reid, don’t you have any female families? Aren’t you born by a woman? Or do you think you have to humiliate a woman to prove yourself?”

She stood upright. Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was eloquent.

Leonard also came over. “Mr. Reid, Hills Group has many partners like you, and our company respects and cares about every employee.”

As they dared to say this, Scott finally realized the gravity of the situation. “Mr. Hills, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t say those words to…” He paused and said, “Ms. Louis, I’m sorry!”
