Sold to Mr. Arrogant novel Chapter 75

Lily's POV:

He did not come back the whole night, he slept in his old bedroom. I know that I rejected him but I did not expect him to act this way, I even tried to apologize but he strongly blocked me. My pride was hurt as I was waiting for him all night long but he did not come back.

Gerald informed me during breakfast that we will meet with the CEO of ChemiPharma and the executives of the company. We will discuss with them some documents regarding my rights over the company. It seems that Gerald will use me to kick him out and take over or something.

"I will also attend this meeting," Shawn commented.

"We won't need you there though,"

"I would like to help, I think that Lily should be supervising the work since it is her company, after all, I will help her recognize her duties."

"Did you forget that you have your own work to accomplish," Gerald clarified.

"I can always find time for my wife,"

After breakfast, I quickly followed Shawn.

"Wait," I said as I grabbed his hand for him to stop.

He looked at where our hands joined as if he was creeped out by our touch. Then he carelessly looked my way. Isn't he overreacting? Why is he being this arrogant? I wondered.

"Did Gerald tell you about the will?" I asked.

"Yes, you didn't ask for my help though nor tell me anything about it, I guess you can take care of everything on your own," he replied pulling his hand away as he took his leave. He still headed to his own room.

I think I understand why he is this mad, he did not appreciate that I hid it from him. I had my reasons though; I wonder about what Gerald told him. I hope he did not tarnish my image somehow.

I am busy dealing with this at the moment, to be honest; my pride pushed me to head to my room. I needed privacy anyway so it suits me well. I sent Siergo a message.

‘ A board’s meeting will be held today.’

I deleted the message after it has reached him as always.

Jessy chose a nice classy dress to wear; she said that I needed to look confident and beautiful to gain everyone’s respect. It is not as if I care to gain their admiration anyway, I just wanted to end this misery of mine as soon as possible.

I rode with Shawn in the same car, we followed Gerald’s car that was leading the way. The whole ride was silent; we did not address each other at all. Why did he choose to come on his own accord to help me if he was going to act this way? He is getting on my nerves, damn it.

We reached ChemiPharma, I was looking at it for the second time now. We accessed the meeting room and everyone has already gathered. I hope my tip help Siergo take control of the situation.

“Welcome, Mr. Gerald… We are quite honored to meet you,” one of the executives began.
