Sweet Pregnant Wife: CEO Phillip's Fierce Love

Fred raised his eyebrows at Phillip and became interested.

"Mr. Phillip, it seems that you don't know Ann. She has always been independent-minded, so she doesn't like being manipulated." Fred's words reminded Phillip of what Ann had said before.

Phillip always forced Ann to accept everything he gave to her, so Ann hated his possessiveness and selfishness.

Phillip frowned.

But Fred remained calm.

"Mr. Phillip, why not listen to Ann's opinion?"

Before Phillip could speak, Fred took out his phone and called Ann.

As soon as the phone was answered, Fred put her on speaker.

Ann said softly, "Hello, Fred?"

When Phillip heard her sweet voice, he looked even gloomier.

"Have you decided what to eat for lunch?" Fred asked with a gentle smile.

"I remember that you said that the first thing you will do when you return to the country is to eat Hungarian Goulash. Why don't you have this for lunch?"

Only Ann would be able to come up with the idea of eating Hungarian Goulash on such a hot day.

The smile spread wider over Fred's face.

Fred nodded and said, "Okay, but I need your help."

Ann asked, "What?"

Fred answered, "You know that I'm working in the Moore Group now. In addition to shooting an advertisement for perfume, I will also participate in the following research and development of perfume. However, I need an assistant now..."

Ann was surprised and asked, "Really? I miss the days when I devoted myself entirely to work. Well... have you decided who you'd pick to be your assistant?"

Fred said, "I've decided, but I don't know whether she is willing or not."

Ann asked, "Who is she?"

Was there anyone unwilling to be the assistant of the founder of an internationally renowned perfume brand?

"It's you."

Ann was stunned for a moment and then she seemed to be very excited.

Ann said, "Me? Well, I'm willing to be your assistant!"

Fred had also graduated from Glass School of Perfume. What was more, Fred and Ann had the same mentor. However, Fred had graduated a few years earlier than Ann. When Ann went to Glass School of Perfume, Fred had carved a place for himself in the fragrance industry.

Their mentor had a good relationship with Fred. Moreover, their mentor was only obsessed with perfume research and development and was in no mood to teach others. Therefore, their mentor asked Fred to mentor Ann.

Fred could be said to be a teacher to Ann on her way to becoming a perfumer.

After hanging up the phone, Fred was in a good mood. He smiled at Phillip whose face was gloomy.

Fred said, "Mr. Phillip, I hope you can respect Ann's choice."

At noon.

Outside the Research and Development Department, a group of people gathered outside the door, looking at the tall and slender Fred standing at the door, and whispered.

"Who is this handsome guy? Why haven't I seen him before? Is he a new perfumer in the Research and Development Department?"

"Look at his clothes. Although they look quite ordinary, they are custom-made by international designers. And his watch is expensive enough for you to buy a house in River City! How can he be just a perfumer?"

"Well, why is he standing at the entrance of the Research and Development Department? Who is he waiting for?"

"Does this person look like Fred, the president of Gael Group?"

"Yes, he's Fred. I heard that he is here today to talk about the opportunity for him to participate in the following research and development and commercial and shoot an advertisement. It's said that he has a long-standing relationship with Ann."

"Why is it Ann again? Isn't she rumored to be with Mr. Phillip?"

"Who knows...?"

The group of people gabbled. When Ann finished her work and came out, she was surprised to see Fred standing outside.

"Didn't you agree to wait at the bus stop outside?"

Fred chuckled, "I finished my work early, so I decide to walk around and wait for you here."

He saw her hair covering her face as he spoke, so he reached out to help to push back her hair.

An audible gasp went around Fred and Ann. Ann looked up at the crowd and found they were hoping for gossip, so she frowned slightly and stood a little further away from Fred.

Ann said, "Fred, this is in the company. If you do this, others will misunderstand us."

Fred raised his eyebrows at her and said, "Ann, I remember you said before that one doesn't need to care about what others said on the way to be a perfumer. It is also the same in your life." Even so, Fred still kept Ann at arm's length.

Fred and Ann arrived at the restaurant that Ann had mentioned.

Fred asked for a private room. After entering the room, he took a clean tissue and wiped the table and chair for Ann. And then he pulled the chair out and gestured for Ann to sit down.

Ann smiled. Fred was the most gentlemanly man she had ever seen. What was more, he was gentle, humorous, and considerate.

She was very relaxed to get along with him.

Fred sat opposite Ann. And then they ordered the dishes.

"At first, I only heard that our company invited you to shoot the advertisement. And I didn't expect that you will participate in the following research and development."

As the founder of the internationally renowned perfume brand and the president of Gael Group, Fred didn't need to do it himself.

Fred smiled and said, "Kerr said that she found an inspiration here."

"That's why you came here?" Ann asked.

Like writing, inspiration was very important to the perfumer.

Fred looked at Ann and smiled without saying a word.

"I heard from Daisy about William's condition, so I returned with foreign experts. It might be helpful to William's condition."

Hearing William's illness, Ann became distressed.

Ann said, "Thank you."

Fred said with a faint smile, "I'm very grateful for your company and encouragement when my mother passed away. What I do is not a big deal, so please don't worry." Ann pursed her lips and did not say anything.

"Ann, I heard that you are now dating Phillip after you broke up with Karl?"

Fred asked bluntly.

Ann met Fred's calm eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and told him the truth.

Ann said, "I have broken up with Phillip."

Fred raised his eyebrows at her. Recalling what Phillip had said in the conference room, he understood something and changed the topic.

"It's been so long since we last met. Has Nikki changed a lot?"

When he mentioned Nikki, Ann felt somewhat better.

"Yes, she has changed a lot."

Fred smiled and said, "I brought her a gift, but I don't know whether she still remembers me after so long."

Ann said, "I have been taking care of William these days, so Daisy has helped to take care of Nikki during the workdays. Nikki is on a 7-day activity, and Daisy has participated in it with her. When they come back, we can have a meal together."

A luxurious car parked outside the restaurant.

Phillip sat in the driver's seat with one hand on the steering wheel. He stared at the entrance of the restaurant and frowned.

Aydan sat in the back of the car and felt very sad.

At noon when Phillip suddenly said that he wanted to take Aydan out for lunch, Aydan was surprised.

When the car arrived at the restaurant, Aydan's smile faded.

Aydan ought to have known this.

In the morning, when Aydan heard that Fred and Ann had agreed to eat Hungarian Goulash together, Aydan knew that Phillip would feel jealous!
