Chapter 3
Giselle finally shook off this illusion after getting the marriage certificate.
She bit her lip as she walked out of the City Hall with Hymes. “I know many people like to get married after dating each other briefly, but I didn’t expect myself to be one of them. I guess everything has a first–time experience.”
A smile overflowed from Hymes‘ frosty look. He said in a low voice, “Giselle, I won’t let you regret marrying me
“There’s no need to regret what has been done. Oh, we haven’t signed a prenup yet. I don’t have many savings, but do you want to sign one to protect your property?”
“No need,” Hymes suddenly changed his mind after getting the marriage certificate, saying, “I don’t have much property either, but I’ll take out a part of it as our daily use, and I think it’s necessary to let you take charge of it.”
“Me?”
Giselle was slightly surprised. “You don’t have to. We only need to transfer some pocket money to a spare bank account. And if extra expenses are needed, we can talk about them later.”
At this moment, Giselle finally realized that her decision to get married to Hymes was too hasty.
She didn’t even consider where they would live after getting married, nor did she know how to allocate their spending.
Giselle had never been so impulsive before. But since there was no way back, she thought for a while and said, “You probably haven’t bought a house yet, and neither have 1.
“Where do you live?”
Hymes‘ eyes glimmered, and he said, “I live in the west of the city.”
“The west? It’s pretty far away from my company. Do you mind living with me?”
Giselle made an offer to her newlywed husband. “I rented a tiny duplex. There are bedrooms on both floors. If you don’t mind, you can move in
Giselle subconsciously thought that Hymes didn’t have a lot of savings either. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let her take charge of his property generously.
“Okay…”
Hymes was thinking about how to live together with Giselle. But now, since she had invited him to move in, he didn’t need to ask her.
Besides, all of Hymes‘ properties are larger than 6,500 square feet. As he pretended to be an insurance salesperson struggling to make a living in the big city, his houses were inappropriate to live.
Hymes remained calm, not letting Giselle notice anything weird.
Giselle didn’t know what was on Hymes‘ mind. After checking the new message on her phone, she hurriedly said, “I have to go back to the company right now. We can continue our chat at dinnertime.”
“Okay”
Before Giselle left, Hymes stopped her. “Giselle.”
“Yes?”
Hymes handed a document bag to Giselle. “These are the certificates of all of my assets. There’s also a credit card inside.”
Giselle was in a hurry to go back to the company, so she took the document bag without looking at it. “Okay. Talk later!”
Giselle decided not to use Hymes‘ money because she believed that he didn’t have too many assets. Therefore, she didn’t check the content of the document bag
After Giselle left, a black Maybach slowly approached Hymes and parked beside him. Then, the driver came out to open the door for Hymes.
After getting into the car, Hymes stroked the marriage certificate and smiled faintly. “I’m not going to the company. Take me home. I’m going to pack up my luggage”
The driver replied, “Okay”
Hymes‘ secretary, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked, “Sir, you gave all your assets to… your wife. What if she finds out?”
Hymes said, “She can’t figure out those documents of shareholding and bonds.”
Only a professional could tell that those documents in a foreign language represented Hymes‘ financial assets worth over tens of billion dollars.
On her way back to the company, Giselle took out the documents and read them briefly, but she thought they were just some useless paper that Hymes had put inside by mistake.
Chapter 3
Giselle didn’t think more about these documents. When she walked into the company, the security guard looked at her and felt a bit distressed. He asked, “Miss, why did you come back again?”
“Why not? I work here.”
Giselle smiled slightly, with a trace of charm overflowing from her beautiful eyes. “Nobody can force me to leave this company unless I quit.”
A minute later, Giselle walked into the office.
Nobody noticed her arrival immediately because her colleagues were busy staring at Mickey and congratulating Jenny for becoming Mickey’s new girlfriend.
Mickey generously agreed that he would treat everyone to dinner. He said, “Let’s have dinner on Friday after work! I’ll pay for whatever you want to
eat!”
Jenny had just become Mickey’s girlfriend, and she got to show off her new relationship in front of everyone. She put on a smug look and couldn’t be happier while being flooded by all the blessings and flatteries. “I told him to keep a low profile, but he didn’t…
Jenny’s flaunt paused abruptly when she saw Giselle standing not far away. Jenny’s pupils shrank, and she shouted, “Giselle? Why did you come
back?”
“Why shouldn’t I come back? I work here, and I’m one of the best employees. Besides, I didn’t make any mistakes while working.“”
Giselle was the vice director of the agent department, and Mickey was the director of the commercial department, so it could be said that Mickey was Giselle’s leader.
However, Mickey wasn’t the president of the company. Since the president never fired Giselle, she certainly had no reason to quit this job.
Mickey was enjoying the limelight when he saw Giselle, who hadn’t shown up for days. Instead of being gloomy and lovelorn, she seemed even brighter and more charming….
Mickey felt quite annoyed.
He had dumped her in front of everyone, but Giselle seemed extremely calm and didn’t even cry or beg him to come back to her.
Even if Mickey had cheated on Giselle, he was still irritated by Giselle’s indifferent attitude.
Mickey pulled Jenny into his arms and said complacently, “Giselle, just in time. Jenny and I will treat everyone to dinner on Friday evening. Care to join
us?”
Giselle refused without thinking. “No.”
She didn’t come back to provoke Mickey, but she couldn’t turn a blind eye to Mickey and Jenny’s shameless behavior.
Apparently, they asked Giselle to join them because they wanted to humiliate her.
Giselle couldn’t help but feel sick. She didn’t know why she had agreed to be Mickey’s girlfriend back then.
However, Mickey kept bugging Giselle. “I think we can make a dinner reservation at the Joyland Hotel, which is owned by Jenny’s family. You don’t want to join us? Is that because you still have feelings for me?”
Jenny’s smug smile faded a bit. She was a pretty woman, but Giselle was more beautiful than her.
Secretly, Jenny feared that Mickey would get back together with Giselle.
Thinking of this, Jenny’s eyes widened, and she pretended to be innocent, asking, “Giselle… Are you staying in the company because you can’t let go of Mickey?”
Giselle couldn’t help but titter. “Why should I put on the clothes that had already been worn out? I’m not a fan of wearing garbage.”
Being mocked in public, Mickey was a bit annoyed and ripped off his pretentious mask. “Giselle, how dare you! You’re just a bumpkin from a small town! If it weren’t for me, you would never have a foothold in this city!”
Giselle gritted her teeth.
When she was dating Mickey, he said he didn’t care about her background. But now, he called her a bumpkin in front of everyone.
It seemed that Mickey had a more profound affection for Jenny’s family property than for Jenny herself.
Giselle was amazed by Mickey’s shamelessness and schemes.
She took out her phone and clicked open her Instagram. Then, she threw her phone and marriage certificate on the table, raised her eyebrows leisurely, and said, “You said I could never get a foothold in this city without you. Well, I just did.”
