In the president's office, Greta had taken off her high-heeled shoes and stood in front of the French window with bare feet, looking at the CBD in the distance, with mix feelings in her beautiful eyes.
She wrapped her arms around her chest. No one could have imagined that the famous CEO of the Ocean City would feel so lost.
Behind Greta, Harriet leaned on the desk and sighed, "You are softer inside your heart than you look outside."
"You like him, but you always pretend to hate him. See, he has been hooked with by another woman." Harriet sighed as she looked at one photo after another.
"Is it my fault that he flirted with other women?" Greta grunted coldly and discontentedly.
"You've been married to him for months. How many times has he slept with you? Even if he were your nominal husband, you can't neglect him like this," signed Harriet. "At least, Greta, he's been kind to you. He's not You-Know-Who who has saved you from multiple crises, but he's been responsible."
"Why the differences between them are so big?" Greta sighed.
"You don't even know who You-Know-Who is, and you don't even know if it's a man or a woman," said Harry. Harriet could not help laughing.
"I don't care. You know Maxwell. He will hide up whenever there is a crisis," Greta complained. "Even if he was in the limelight at the auction, it was because you gave him money. He has no skill, but a competent servant."
"Well, think it over for yourself." Harriet shook her head with a wry smile, put down the photo and walked out of the office.
In the villa, Maxwell was doing housework when his mobile phone rang suddenly.
Maxwell was excited as he thought it was from Greta, and immediately answered the phone.
But when Harriet's voice sounded, he was slightly disappointed.
"Harriet, can I help you?" Maxwell asked.
"No. I just want to see how you and Greta are doing and if there's anything I can help," Harriet said.
Maxwell was delighted and said, "Harriet, please persuade Greta? I will admit my fault."
"You want me to help you?" Harriet asked, "Yes, but you have to give me a favor tonight."
"No problem!" Maxwell didn't even know what Harriet wanted, and agreed without hesitation.
"You don't even know what I am going to ask you for." Harriet was stunned when Maxwell agreed without hesitation.
"My wife is most important. As long as my wife is happy, I will do whatever I can," Maxwell said firmly.
"She's been so cold to you, but you still love her so much," Harriet sighed. "Put on a suit tonight, and I'll pick you up. I will take you to a party."
"Party? No problem." After hanging up the phone and finishing the housework, Maxwell took a straight suit out of his closet.
He changed his dirty white shirt and dressed himself before he went out.
At six o'clock in the evening, a BMW came on time and stopped at the gate of the luxury house.
Maxwell walked out the door. The car window was rolled down to reveal Harriet's charming face.
"You..." Harriet looked at Maxwell, and surprise flashed by her beautiful eyes because Maxwell had changed too much!
With a dark blue suit and had his beard shaven, Maxwell at this moment was totally different from the one he used to be.
"Oh my God, are you really Maxwell?" Harriet took off her sunglasses in disbelief and looked at Maxwell closely.
"How do I look?" Maxwell smiled. At this moment, Maxwell was full of manly charm, and even his tone became very gentle.
"Very well, I'm afraid I have fallen in love with you." She was taken aback by Maxwell's look. She didn't expect that Maxwell would be so handsome.
For those who didn't know him, they would think Maxwell was charming and confident and would definitely mistake him for someone with successful life!
"Get in the car." Harriet pulled open the door and Maxwell got into the passenger seat.
"Why should I go with you to the party?" asked Maxwell.
"I am going to my high school dinner party, just take you as a shield," explained Harriet.
"Well, that's easy to muddle through." Maxwell said nonchalantly.
"Many of my high school classmates are already successful persons," Harriet said with a smile. "Some of them are already the heads of Fortune 500 companies overseas."
Maxwell nodded, looking calm, as if the Fortune 500 didn't surprise him too much.
Harriet gave Maxwell a curious look. "You're not surprised?"
"What does it matter to me if they are the heads of Fortune 500 companies?" Maxwell shrugged.
In fact, Harriet didn't know that HAL's company had long dwarfed the Fortune 500, but in Maxwell's eyes, it was nothing worth mentioning.
