My Reincarnated Wife Is A Little Too Sweet novel Chapter 20

She was really a stubborn girl but he loved it.

"I know I'm handsome and no woman can resist my charm. I won't be surprised if you fell in love with me. In fact I will gladly accept you."

Amanda was angry that she almost stomped her feet.

She did not know what came over her just a moment ago.

She had to admit that this man was really handsome and very charming but she cannot be attracted to him.

The good the looks were the more dangerous it was for her to dive in. Moreover looks are very deceiving and she cannot fall for this man.

"Yes you are very handsome sir and every woman would not resist your charm. But I'm different from every woman. I don't fall for such little tricks. How many women have you deceived with your looks untill you took them to your bed?" Amanda asked sarcastically. 

By now she had already calmed her frantic heart down.

"There is none." Richard answered subconsciously. 

Amanda suddenly laughed.

Who will believe him. After all he was such a handsome man and he even worked in the entertainment industry.

Amanda knew the tricks of the entertainment industry better than  anyone else. She had toiled at the back of the food chain in her past life and have seen the darkest parts and secrets of the industry. 

Women in the entertainment industry were all crazy and they could do anything just to get what they want.

How can this man say that he has not had any woman.

Seeing the woman before him look at him with doubtful eyes, Richard chose not to explain himself and just shut up. 

Explaining himself won't do any good. She might even think that he was trying to cover up something.

Richard looked at her silently and turned around to leave.

Seeing their boss come out, the bodyguard moved a side to make a path and maintained a considerable distance behind their boss.

He summoned Thomas who was sitting on the bench outside the ward.

"Yes boss!"

"I want you to arrange some things for me." Richard said as he started to give a series of instructions.

"Call director Alex and tell him to delay the payments for the crew. Tell him that our company has encountered some problems and we cannot disburse the money for the time being.

Call doctor Martin and tell him to schedule the surgery for Amanda's mother to the day after tomorrow.

From today onwards, make some security arrangements for Amanda. Make sure that someone is keeping an eye on her and she does not encounter any danger." 

After Richard finished giving his instructions, he strode away coldly and was soon out of the hospital.

He returned to the company to finish some work before he packed up and went home.

He was living in the most luxurious house in the Grand Lakes Villa in city A. 

It was an estate that carried the most richest people in the city and Richard owned one of the best houses in that precinct.

After entering the house, he carelessly threw his coat and briefcase on the chair and went directly to the wine cellar.

He took a bottle of red wine and poured into a wine glass. He walked directly towards the balcony and sat on the rattan chair.

He enjoyed watching the sun set and the tranquility that it brought to the world.

It was a nice view and it reminded him of his childhood and his mother who had already passed away.

His mother always kept him company to watch the sun set when he was young because he was most afraid of the darkness. 

Seeing the sun set, the orange glow over the horizon, Richard felt a sense of peace in his heart as he downed his wine in one gulp.

In the hospital...

After returning to the ward, Amanda found that her mother had already closed her eyes and was sleeping soundly. 

She did not want to disturb her so she moved slowly towards the bed to get her bag and took out her phone.
