Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore looked at him silently and took out a keycard from his bag. It had the same logo as theirs.

“I’m staying next to you guys. It’s more convenient that way.” After that, he opened his room’s door and walked in.

Christopher was so ashamed and embarrassed at the same time. He stared at Everleigh and asked, “You told him about it, didn’t you?”

“Isn’t it normal for me to do so?” She retorted. Since both of them were there to help her, she had to be fair and tell them about her itinerary.

He was speechless. There was nothing wrong with her argument.

Alas…

He could never escape from them for the rest of his life, and he had no other choice.

He dragged his luggage and entered his own room silently.

As soon as Everleigh put down her bags, she received a call from Missha. “Yasmine, when did you arrive?”

“I’ve just arrived. Aunt Missha, are you very busy?” She asked with a smile.

“Don’t worry. I just signed a contract, and can relax for a bit now. How long are you staying here?”

“Ten days, but I only have five days available. After all, I’m not here for a vacation,” Everleigh replied helplessly. It wasn’t easy for her to visit her aunt.

Missha laughed, and her jovial voice made Everleigh feel a little uncomfortable. “Aunt Missha, what are you laughing about?”

“Nothing, I’m just feeling bad for you because you can’t focus on having fun.”

Everleigh pursed her lips. The purpose of her trip wasn’t to have fun.

“Aunt Missha, I’ll meet up with you tomorrow. It seems like I haven’t visited our family’s company yet.”

“Sure! I’ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, around eight o’clock.” Missha paused for a while and remembered that she was free at that time. It was the best time for them to meet up/

“Alright.”

Everleigh agreed without hesitation. She was fine with the arrangement. It was better for her to be picked up rather than going there herself.

The next morning, she got ready early and waited for Missha to pick her up, while Theodore and Christopher sat aside in silence, thinking about a way to investigate Xemon through Missha’s company.

“I will go up and meet Aunt Missha later, while you two can talk to the staff there. Christopher, I believe that such a thing is very easy for you.”

“Wow, you’ve finally thought of me. What have you been doing the whole time?” He snorted. His beautiful face shouldn’t be used to seduce ladies.

Theodore shot him a cold glance. “Don’t you like to do things like this? Isn’t it good that you’re finally given a chance now?”

“You…” Christopher glared at him. “I’m doing this for the sake of Everleigh, not for you.”

She knew that they hated each other, so she quickly said, “Yes, yes, it’s all for me. Please calm down, the both of you.”

Theodore then stared at Christopher indifferently, which made him nearly lose his temper.

Everleigh was really blind. What else was good about that b*stard besides his pretty face? Christopher thought to himself.

Soon, someone knocked on the door. Everleigh opened it and saw a young lady with blonde hair and blue eyes. She spoke with a fluent foreign accent, “Good morning, Miss Trevino. I was sent here by Miss Jenkins. She asked me to pick you up.”

“Alright, we can go now.” She turned around to look at Theodore and Christopher.

The three of them arrived at the Jenkins Group. Everleigh looked at the large lobby, and there was even an echo when she spoke.

“Does this whole building belong to the Jenkins family?” She asked in amazement.

“Yes, it was just renovated this year.”

“Oh, I see. My two colleagues here would like to walk around. Can you please accompany them? I can go upstairs to meet my aunt by myself.” Everleigh stopped and pointed to the two men following behind her.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

The assistant was rather reluctant. “Miss Trevino, it isn’t really appropriate, is it?”

“It’s also inappropriate for them to be with me when I am catching up with my aunt. Besides, they are both doctors from the hospital, so they shouldn’t be following me up.”

“Okay then. In this case, I’ll ask someone to show them around.” The assistant then walked to the reception counter and said to the receptionists, “Please guide them around. I’ll take Miss Trevino up.”

When one of the receptionists looked at the two handsome men, she nodded happily.

“Miss Trevino, please follow me.”

She nodded. Then, she turned around and reminded Theodore and Christopher, “You two can take a look around here, but don’t create a mess, okay?”

“Understood. Call us when you come down.” Christopher waved his hand casually.

Then, Everleigh followed the assistant to Missha’s office.

When she walked through the door, she saw an enormous and beautiful office. It looked really stylish.

“Aunt Missha!”

“Yasmine!” Missha got up from her chair, signaled her assistant to go out, and asked her to bring in two cups of coffee.

“Aunt Missha, am I bothering you?”

“Of course not. I’m so excited to finally see you again. You don’t know how it feels to finally see your loved ones after being abroad all alone.” Speaking of that, a hint of sorrow appeared on Missha’s face.

Everleigh lowered her head. She understood her feelings. She had lived abroad for a few years. Whenever she met someone from her home country, she would feel really delighted no matter which part of the country the person came from.

She would then start an endless conversation with them.

“Let’s not talk about this. I will take you out for a meal later. If you are free, just come over and find me anytime.”

“Um, there’s no need for a meal. My two colleagues are waiting for me downstairs. I’m eating with them later.” Everleigh didn’t hide that fact as it simply couldn’t be hidden.

Hearing that, Missha asked, “Why didn’t you bring them up here?”

“Well, it’s not really appropriate for them to be here when we’re talking. I’ve asked the receptionists to bring them around and show them how big and marvelous this company is.” Everleigh told her the truth.

From the second she entered the building, she saw a majestic lobby.

Missha smiled lightly. “This is the headquarters of our overseas branches. Many people come here for business meetings, so it’s really important for it to look beautiful.”

“Oh, is it? It’s the first time I’ve heard something like this. As you know, I don’t really understand business.” Everleigh really didn’t understand these things. She worked in the hospital all year round, so she obviously knew nothing about business.

Missha looked at her face and said with a smile, “Yasmine, this company will belong to you in the future.”

“Huh?”

“I’m not married, and I don’t have any children. Everything in the Jenkins family will naturally be passed down to someone in the family, and you’re the most suitable candidate,” Missha responded softly.

Everleigh was stunned. She didn’t expect her aunt to say that. Never had she ever thought about taking over Jenkins Group.

“Aunt Missha, I’m not here to…”

Missha shook her head. “I know what you’re trying to say. Among all the children in the Jenkins family, I have the most faith in you. I know what kind of person Cynthia is, and we don’t even have to talk about Linggon. If Yeezoo is no longer alive, maybe I will consider passing it down to you.”

Everleigh raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile, “Aunt Missha, what do you mean by that?”

“Yasmine, don’t tell me that you don’t know what kind of person Yeezoo is.”

Everleigh’s smile stiffened. She really didn’t want to talk about her uncle’s personality in front of Missha.

“I don’t blame you for not understanding Yeezoo, but you must be wary of him, okay?”
