Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222

Nevertheless, Artemis wasted no time in getting rid of the other man.

“Didn't you hear her? Get lost.”

Sylvester rolled his eyes and began making his way to the door. At the same time, he said, “So you're chasing me off now? Fine, I'm going to enjoy my time in your company's secretary's office. If I end up impregnating one of the secretaries, you'll have to clean up after my mess.”

Artemis only smiled and shook his head.

Bailey raised a brow and asked, “Which terrible friend of yours is he?”

Instead of replying to her, Artemis stood up and walked over to her. Yet, before he could circle his arm around her waist, Bailey took two steps and avoided his touch.

Oh? She's wary now. It looks like it won't be as easy to flirt with her anymore.

“Am I some kind of wolf?”

Bailey studied him from head to toe before shaking her head. In a serious tone, she replied, “You're a monster.”

This wicked-tongue woman...

“He's the Hollett family's oldest son, Sylvester Hollett.”

Bailey froze when she heard that. Once she recollected herself, a look of surprise appeared on her face, “So he's Sylvester of the Hollett family? The one who can destabilize the country with just a stomp?

Artemis could not help but laugh at the sight of her look of disbelief. “Yes, that's him. He looks flirtatious, but he's quite a ruthless character. He thinks of you as the wife of a good friend, and that's why he was joking around you.”

“Ha,” came Bailey's unamused laugh as she curled her lips. “It sounds like he'll be a pain to deal with. By the way, the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory called me earlier and said that the results for the fourth trial are out. It's a complete success. He wanted me to ask you if you're going to hold a press conference to announce the good news.”

“Of course, we're going to do that.”

While she was not paying attention to him, he quickly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her toward him.

“Your participation was why they overcame the bottleneck. This is your success, so, of course, I'm going to hold a press conference to sing your praises.”

Bailey tried to struggle out of his grasp, but her efforts were to no avail. Hence, she gave up on that and changed the topic. “Remember to fish out information about Max's biological mother before you deal with Rhonda. The boy's still young, and he needs the love of a mother. Don't let his childhood become his regret.”

Artemis quietly hummed in response. “It'll be the same if you become his mother.”

Bailey did not reply to that.

In a café opposite Luther Group's headquarters, Bailey was looking at a gleeful Rhonda with raised brows. With a smile that did not reach her eyes, she said, “Congratulations on your pregnancy again, and your wedding with Mr. Luther.”

The moment Bailey said that, the smugness on Rhonda's face grew more intense.

“Ms. Jefferson, I invited you out here to assign you a task.”

A task?

A small smile manifested on Bailey's lips, and she humbly said, “You're the future wife of the CEO. You can just give me a call if you have anything to tell me. You don't need to see me in person.”

The mention of how she was going to be the wife of a CEO only made Rhonda even more thrilled.

At least this b*tch knows how to read the room.

“You know how my wedding day with Artemis is approaching. Aren't you Luther Group's lead designer? As the wife of the CEO, I order you to design a wedding dress for me in three days' time.”

Hearing that, Bailey lifted a brow. So she didn't invite me only to show off. She's hoping that I'll design her wedding dress too.

“Sure, Mrs. Luther. What style would you like? Do tell me, and I'll do my best to design it in three days.”

Rhonda stiffened as she started at Bailey with wide eyes. She never thought that Bailey would agree to it so easily.

She thought that Bailey would have lost control of her emotions—that she would be mad, hysterical, and jealous.

But she did not.
