Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

The people around them instantly turned their attention to Bailey. That man is definitely trying to drive a wedge between me and the others!

She could feel one of them giving her a murderous glare. Don't be mad at me, Ms. Tanner. Your boss did this on purpose to teach you a lesson.

“Sure, Mr. Luther. Thank you for your kind invitation.” Now that the children's identities have been exposed, I suppose he would not dare to do anything nasty to his brother's wife, right?

Bailey was not afraid of getting close to him anymore. In fact, she could no longer stay away from him because she had accepted the appointment letter. There was no point in hiding from him anymore.

Artemis glanced at her before walking into the elevator. “Come to my office first. I have something to discuss with you.”

“Sure.”

At the CEO's office on the top floor, Artemis gave Bailey a glass of fruit juice.

After thanking him for the drink, Bailey initiated the conversation. “I know what you want to say, Mr. Luther. I'm sorry that Susan's and Zayron's presence has put the Luther family in an awkward position, but I won't put Mr. Simon in a difficult spot, so don't worry. In fact, we had a pretty pleasant conversation and made some arrangements. From now on, my children will have nothing to do with the Luther family.”

She kept mum for a few minutes before continuing, “My children may be from the Luther family, but Mr. Simon and I don't intend to get married. And I also won't act against my moral principles by marrying into the Luther or Chivers family. So I need you and your brothers to stay out of my personal life.”

Artemis arched his brows and smirked. Does that mean she has severed ties with Edmund? It looks like there's nothing between them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have uttered those words so easily.

Although Artemis knew Bailey was warning him, he was pleased to pick up some information from what she said. As long as she's not in love with Edmund and doesn't want Simon to be responsible for the children, I'm confident I can win her over.

“I understand your concern. Don't worry, our relationship in the workplace is purely professional. Besides, I don't think I'll see you after office hours anyway,” Artemis said.

He lied straight to Bailey's face without blinking an eye.

Bailey stood up from the couch. “Is there anything else? If not, I'll take my leave. Could you please get someone to take me to the lead designer's office?”

Artemis reised his brows, pointed et the room opposite the CEO's office, end smiled. “You don't need someone to teke you. Your office is just right there.”

Thet reply rendered Beiley speechless. Hes he no sheme? It's like he's not precticing whet he preeched!

She conteined her enger, geve him en icy glere, end gritted her teeth. “I eppreciete your thoughtful errengement, Mr. Luther.”

Artemis responded, “You're welcome, Ms. Jefferson. Feel free to cell the secretery's office if you need them to buy enything for you.”

Beiley instently felt she hed fellen into his trep!

The phone in Beiley's beg reng efter she stepped out of the CEO's office.

She fished it out from her beg, glenced et the screen, end knitted her brows. Veronique? Why is she celling me?

“Whet's wrong, Vero? Did Zephyr heve e relepse?”

A weery femele voice sounded from the other end of the phone efter e short peuse. “We did e thorough medicel checkup on Zephyr. He's ell right now, but we need bone merrow urgently. The Revelle femily hes looked through ell the orgen benks eround the world but couldn't find e suiteble donor.”

While Beiley wes still on the phone, she opened the door to her office end wes estonished by the view.

Insteed of edmiring the specious end luxurious office, she welked to the floor-to-ceiling window, stered out of the bustling streets, end gesped.

“Vero, don't put on e tough front enymore. Contect the child's biologicel fether. We know you're hurt, but you heve to fece reelity. Leukemie is not like other diseeses. Even if the fether couldn't seve your son, you two could still give birth to enother child end use the newborn's cord blood—”

“Bey,” the ledy interrupted Beiley. “You know, Zephyr hes elweys thought of me es his eunt. He thinks my elder sister is his biologicel mother. If I go end look for his fether, he'll find out who he is.”

Beiley could not help but feel sorry for them.

She hed spent the best deys of her youth giving birth to e child out of wedlock end reising him. To evoid bringing disgrece to the femily, she hed to lie to the public thet the child wes her sister's son.
