Mr. Powell Is Hunting for His Wife novel Chapter 23

Brooklyn let out a laugh in a low voice.

Anna was such an interesting woman.

He had sent Harper to investigate Anna’s background. Although her background had been hidden by someone, he knew that she earned a lot of money and owned properties and villas overseas.

Many rich families had asked her to make perfumes.

Was she short of money? Not at all.

But he didn’t expect her to be a money-grubber. When he first called her to come to the company to work overtime, the first thing she asked was whether she could get overtime pay.

Brooklyn said with his thin lips, “I’ll give you five times the overtime pay.”

“No problem Mr. Powell! I will come now! One hour from now on right? Don’t worry. I’ll be there on time.”

After finishing her words, Diana immediately hung up the call and ran towards the bathroom to do her skincare and makeup.

She would never give up any single cent she could get.

The annual salary offered to Diana by Powell Group was extremely high and she was very satisfied with that. She could get five times the overtime pay by only losing her time for beauty sleep.

Brooklyn sat in the bright office. He looked at the mobile phone and his sexy lips slightly twitched.

After a while, he slowly sent a WeChat message to Diana.

“Drive safely.”

After pressing the button to send the message to Diana using his long fingers, he put his phone aside.

Harper came in at this time carrying a cup of freshly ground coffee, “Mr. Powell, this is the ground coffee that you have requested.”

Brooklyn nodded his head, “Put it on the table.”

After a while, he slowly raised his head. He remembered that just now Diana had said on the phone that it would take an hour and a half to drive from her home to the office.

Brooklyn frowned and he thought that he shouldn’t have asked her to come here within an hour.

He didn’t know how good her driving skills were. What if something happened on the road…

Brooklyn’s handsome face displayed a gloomy look, “How far is Ms. Miller’s apartment from the office?”

Harper was slightly stunned.

What kind of question was Mr. Powell asking?

He had never known that Mr. Powell cared about the personal life of his subordinates after all the years he had spent with him.

Harper complained about Harper inwardly, but he still said obediently, “Mr. Powell, Ms. Miller’s apartment isn’t too far from the company. It only needs a forty-minute drive.”

“Good,” Brooklyn said coldly.

He cared about Diana so much just now.

It turned out that she had been lying to him from the very beginning.

At the same time, Diana was still at her apartment.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She had red lips and a fair tiny face. She also had thick eyelashes and a thin layer of blush.

She looked so good as she had just put on a mask that she didn’t even need to do her make-up.

Her hair was a little wet as she just had her shower. She knew it was too late to dry it now, so she had to hastily tie her hair into a bun.

She went back to her room and changed into a black and white striped office attire. Then, she grabbed her bag and gently pushed open the door to the room next to her bedroom.

Austin hadn’t slept yet. He closed his laptop and raised his little face to ask Diana calmly, “Mummy, is daddy calling you to the office?”

Diana was stunned for a moment and she said, “Don’t eavesdrop on my phone call next time.”

Austin shrugged his shoulders, “I’m not trying to eavesdrop on your phone call, mummy. I’m eavesdropping on daddy’s phone call so he doesn’t do something which will make you sad.”

Diana’s lips twitched slightly.

She had no relationship with Brooklyn, nor did she want to have a relationship with him in the future.
