Marry into Money by Accident novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13

“Money can give you a sense of security, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of your health.” The stress Lianne undertook since getting the position as the CEO’s executive assistant was most vivid to Tyler and Sierra

During the many midnight wakes, they would find Lianne talking in her sleep about work.

Tyler and Sierra had persuaded Lianne more than once to stop pushing herself so hard. Their comic studio was doing well, so she could still live a comfortable life without her job as the CEO’s assistant.

Nevertheless, the last thing Lianne wanted was to leave herself without anything to do, as her mind could wander to the dark place in those idle moments.

Only by working continuously and making money for her savings to grow could her mind be at ease.

Lianne wiped away her tears. “Oh, my. I have to stay away from alcohol. It makes me cry.”

Tyler shuffled her hair. “Just let it out. It’s not embarrassing to cry your eyes out.”

Lianne responded with heaving.

Tyler gave her back another pat. “How much did you drink?”

Her belly was upset as she did not have much to eat tonight. There was nothing for Lianne to throw up. 1 didn’t drink much, but I had a few sips of white wine, red wine, and champagne.

Tyler was too angry to give her a lecture. “Come on. Let’s go home.”

“Yes, home. Help me move the stuff on the floor into the car Lianne bobbed her head, not forgetting the task from her boss amid her drunkenness

“What are these things?” Tyler helped Lianne into the front passenger’s seat and buckled her up before moving the stuff.

“My boss told me to take care of the gifts that weren’t given away I plan to sell them and give the money to him. The things cost over a million dollars altogether, so there was no way Lianne was going to throw them away. Since Lianne would not take things that did not belong to her, the best approach was to turn the items into cash to return to Zane

After moving the stuff, Tyler sat behind the wheel, wanting to give Zane a piece of his mind. “He abandoned you while you were drunk and made you work. Is he making you his slave?”

Her priority was still money despite Lianne’s alcohol-induced mind. “It’s a lot of work, but the money good. A million-dollar annual income will no longer be a dream if I do a good job.”

Tyler did not want to talk to Lianne, as all she could think about was money. He took out his phone and sent a text message to Sierra. “Sierra, Gummy had a lot to drink. Make a little something that she can have for when she gets back.”

Sierra wrote back, “Sure. Watch over the gummy worm,”

While driving. Tyler would check on Lianne every now and then. She looked straight ahead, and her vacant eyes pulled on his heartstrings. “What’s on your mind, Gummy?”

“I’m thinking about my parents. Would my life be different if Mom didn’t leave my dad due to my difficult birth, and Dad did not get into a car accident while picking up a graveyard shift for extra money to give me a better life?”

Lianne was not the type to show her vulnerability to anyone, including her best friends

She smiled. “The stars are so bright tonight, Ty. Do you still remember when we used to lie on the rooftop and look at the stars?”

Instead of calling her out on changing the topic, Tyler said, “Those are our most precious memories engraved on our minds. How could I possibly forget?”

Lianne suggested, “The three of us should go on a road trip to Weston once I save more money. I heard the stars there are beautiful.”

With money coming back into the conversation, Tyler recalled a piece of good news to share. “Gummy, your ongoing comic about patriotism and romance is getting good traction. We have a few film and television companies interested in acquiring its cinematic copyright.”

Lianne’s eyes lit up. “What companies are we talking about?”

Tyler replied, “One of them is Scenematics Production.”
