Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 784

Who did she think she was?

She only stayed after she begged him to let her do so, and he had never actually favored her. Who was she to be able to stay here?

A guest? His girlfriend? Or…

She thought of something and went pale instantly.

However, Gregory started to laugh. There was a chill in his laughter which made it hard for Yuliana to understand how he felt, but her sub-conscience told her that it was no good.

She listened as he said in a low voice, “Don’t flatter yourself. You’re able to stay here because of my kindness. Do what you are supposed to do and don’t consider yourself as my girlfriend. You don’t qualify for that yet, understand?”

Yuliana’s expression sank.

Gregory refused to entertain her further. With long strides, he marched out of the doorway.

…

Vickie rushed home. By the time she reached the chateau, it was already past 9.00 p.m.

She had missed dinner and was starving, so she immediately looked for Mr. Osborne who was surprised by her return. He ordered a maid to prepare supper and asked Vickie, “Why are you alone? Where is the Young Master?”

Astonished, Vickie lifted her head and noticed the confusion in Mr. Osborne’s eyes. There was a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

“Gregory? I wasn’t with him.”

Mr. Osborne was shocked. “But he went to look for you.”

Vickie was taken aback.

Mr. Osborne was so anxious that he slapped his thigh and said, “He went out about half an hour ago. He also called you several times but no one answered. He didn’t even have dinner, and after that, he suddenly said that he was going out. I thought both of you met up. Sigh!”

Vickie came to her senses and looked away. She wondered for a moment and replied, “Don’t worry. He’ll come back once he’s unable to find me.”

Mr. Osborne hesitated. His lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, but he eventually gave up as he regarded the cold Vickie Thomas.

In the end, he sighed and said, “I’ll give him a call.”

When the food was served, Gregory returned.

Only ten minutes had passed. When Gregory entered, there was a huge scowl on his face. Anyone could tell that he was in a horrible mood.

Naturally, Vickie noticed it too.

There was no need for him to do so, yet, for some reason, when she realized how he had gone out to look for her in vain, she felt a bit guilty when she saw his darkened expression.

She darted her gaze and said meekly, “You’re back? I heard you haven’t eaten. Do you want to eat together?”

Gregory shot her an icy stare. He removed his jacket, revealing the black shirt he wore underneath and his muscular figure. Then, he handed his jacket to the maid and sat down opposite her.

The tension between them was suffocating.

“Where have you been today?” he asked her in a deep and unfriendly tone.

Vickie picked up the chopsticks and poked the rice in her bowl as she avoided his gaze. “Nowhere.”

“By nowhere, where did you go?” Anger had crept into his voice.

Vickie shuddered. She knew that in the coming days, both of them still needed to work together. Despite her grudge with him, she had to use his power and influence to find the real culprit who had destroyed the Vermilion Bird Organization. She would never let go of the person who drove a wedge between the two organizations and harmed her.

It was too difficult for her to do this alone, so she needed his help.
