Mr. Powell Is Hunting for His Wife novel Chapter 42

Brooklyn’s meaningful glance fell upon Diana.

“My assistant Anna, be careful not to be too greedy, you know.” Brooklyn’s voice was a whisper and it was devoid of emotion, “Be careful not to be toppled over by your mischief and wit.’

She was really forward thinking. He didn’t expect her to want him to cover for her forever.

Brooklyn had to admit that Anna was one interesting and amusing woman.

However, that alone was not enough to prompt him to agree to be her protector forever.

…

Diana was not someone without a temper.

After finishing her lunch in the employee’s resting room, she informed Harper about her departure without even returning to her office first. She simply left the company with her handbag hoisted and her high heels clicking underneath.

She wasn’t a fool. Since her superior had given her the green light to stroll out there without the need to work in the company, why should she continue wasting her time in the company?

After she reached home, she kicked off her high heels and with her laptop in her embrace, she started to reply her clients’ email.

After half an hour, she leaned against the sofa and just as she was about to sink into her dreamland, her phone rang.

Diana clambered up and plucked her phone and saw to her amazement that the caller was Brooklyn.

She suddenly had vested interest in the call as she answered it, “Mr. Powell, what’s the matter?”

She didn’t have much time to rest before she was disturbed again.

Was he going to eat his own words and ask her to get back to work?

“Where are you now?” The man’s voice was cold.

Diana recalled Brooklyn’s reminder this morning, and with a flash of inspiration, she switched on the television and played a drama.

In no time, the whole room was filled with television noise which transmitted through her receiver.

“Mr. Powell, I am at the mall now. Didn’t you say that you want me by your side at the banquet thrown by Mr. and Mrs. Hill tomorrow? I am strolling LIK mall and am choosing a suitable gown. Listen, there are people around here talking, don’t you hear it?”

“Anna, you’re always the smart one, but now you’re unlike your usual self. The LIK mall is a luxury mall under the flag of the Powell Group. My men are there, don’t you think that I should be familiar with the situation there?”

Diana couldn’t come up with a response.

After a few second of silence, she decided to wipe off her lies.

“Mr. Powell, I am being serious when I said that I don’t want anything to do with your marriage with Ms. Moss. I admit that you are quite the looker, and I have never seen any guy who could pique my interest like you. However, I am very aware that I am just a nobody with no background, and I harbour no dream of turning into a swan while I am an ugly duckling. If you concern yourself with me too much, and if your Ms. Moss and your mother start to bear some grudge towards me, how do you think I am going to survive in Sliwell?”

Diana’s words made a lot of sense.

Brooklyn had already sent someone to investigate. Yesterday, Ms. Powell indeed summoned her to the Powell mansion.

And to top it off, Diana was destroying the stuffs in front of his eyes.

Brooklyn clutched his phone tighter, “If you are always within my field of vision, I guarantee that they won’t be a threat to you.”

Diana laughed nonchalantly, “Mr. Powell, I know that your influences reach far and wide. You have the whole of Sliwell in your palms. But what if there are places you can’t reach? You can underestimate anything, but don’t underestimate the conviction of a woman thirsty for revenge.”

Brooklyn furrowed his brows and finally broke his silence after a while, “What else do you have to say?”

Diana seemed to give it a thought, “Let me take back my words just now. I don’t think that I am incapable of turning it a white swan from an ugly duckling… In fact, I am already a swan in the first place.”

Brooklyn pressed his lips into a line and his brows formed even deeper creases on his forehead.

What the hell was this woman thinking all day long?

Diana shut her laptop and added, “Mr. Powell, I will remember our little promise here. At least, as your partner for the banquet, the least you can do for me is to prevent me from going through what I have gone through yesterday. I am just carrying out my duties as an employee of the Powell Group while our contract is still in effect.”
