Chapter 82
Chapter 82
Roxanne was feeling on top of the world, watching Oliver, the dishonest man, being watched all day by
twenty well-organized bodyguards outside, especially the bald one who seemed very serious.
Every time Oliver was in the sight of this bald bodyguard, he was stared down hard.
It was like a warning for Oliver to behave himself.
Oliver was so scared of his glare that he kept his mouth shut like a little boy.
Roxanne was thrilled and tapped on Chloe's desk.
"Chloe, you're really something, bumping into big shots just by walking around. Aren't those twenty
bodyguards of his impressive? They're all here to protect you today. You're really living the dream, and
it's like something out of a novel."
Chloe still hadn't quite recovered from the unexpected encounter the day before.
Meeting a CEO and being saved by him was something that only happened in novels and TV dramas.
Not only was she saved by a passing CEO, but she also received protection afterward.
This big shot was really a hero and honorable.
Chloe was a bit skeptical about the real purpose of the gentleman saving her yesterday, but she didn't
have anything valuable to be exploited.
Roxanne said, "Why overthink it? The moment you decided to divorce Oliver, your luck turned for the
better. Maybe your luck will get even better after the divorce."
Chloe glared at Roxanne, "Stop kidding around. I'm a woman who's given birth to two kids and been
divorced before. I don't have a good figure or good looks. What kind of luck could I have? I just hope
the divorce with Oliver goes smoothly, and there won't be any surprises."
Little did Roxanne know while she was chatting with Chloe, the bodyguards outside were discussing
her.
"Is that tall woman with a ponytail the boss's wife?"
"Didn't see her face clearly; but she seems pretty, just a bit ordinary."
"I wonder what our boss was thinking, marrying such an ordinary woman?"
"As long as he likes her, after all, she'll be our boss's wife soon."
The bald bodyguard instructed, "From now on, be careful not to reveal the boss's identity in front of the
lady. Even though she's just an ordinary woman, she has her principles. She doesn't covet wealth or
fame. If she suddenly finds out about the boss's identity, he's afraid it might scare her. Got it?"
"Got it."
Alexander remembered what Harrison told him yesterday - to add Chloe on WhatsApp.
So, around five o'clock, after he finished his work, he rushed over.
Twenty bodyguards saw him and simultaneously shouted, "Mr. Alexander."
At this moment, Oliver came out from inside. Seeing Alexander, he immediately turned around and
retreated.
"Why run?"
At this time, Roxanne and Chloe came out of work together.
Alexander focused his attention on Roxanne and Chloe.
He pretended not to know Roxanne, then looked at Chloe and said, "We meet again!"
Chloe nodded and smiled, "We meet again, Mr. Alexander."
Alexander went straight to the point, "I can't keep these 20 bodyguards here all the time. I thought
about it and decided it's better to have your phone number for future contact. If that man dares to
abuse you again, call me immediately; I'll take care of him."
Chloe thought for a moment.
Roxanne, on the side, felt that the man in front of her looked familiar but couldn't remember where she
had seen him.
Chloe asked, "Can I really have your phone number?"
Alexander said, "Of course. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to invite me for a meal?"
Chloe laughed and said, "Mr. Alexander has helped me a lot. If you're willing, of course, I would like to
invite you for a meal."
But she didn't know where to invite such a rich man to eat. Which restaurant would be more decent?
Definitely not those small restaurants, at least something more luxurious. But Chloe hadn't been to any
high-end places before.
This really put her in a pickle.
"I remember now." Roxanne looked at Alexander and suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Alexander, are you the
customer who bought all my stall goods that day? Right, Mr. Alexander, do you remember?"
Alexander pretended to try hard to recall, then pretended to suddenly remember, "Oh, it's you?"
Acting was not Alexander's strong suit.
Making him lie made him feel uncomfortable.
All this was Harrison's fault for insisting on concealing his identity from Roxanne, making him learn to
lie too.
Alexander hated lying the most, especially to women. He felt guilty.
After a few words, Alexander brought the topic back, "Ms. Mitchell, didn't you say yesterday that you
wanted to invite me for a meal? I happen to be free today."
"Okay, but I don't know what Mr. Alexander likes to eat?"
Alexander thought for a moment, "Wait for me a moment, let me ask."
He sent a message to Harrison, who was far away in London: What does Roxanne like to eat?
Harrison immediately replied, “ Why ask this?”
Alexander said, “I noticed that you reply quickly to anything about Roxanne. Why didn't you reply to my
message about the project's progress?”
Harrison avoided the question, “ Are you with Roxanne?”
Alexander retorted, “Yes, Roxanne recognized me. She remembers me buying all her stall goods.”
Harrison said, “ Roxanne likes spicy food. After dinner, remember to say the key point.”
Alexander replied to the text by typing, “Don't worry. When have I ever not done a good job of what
you've asked me to do?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
While he was texting with Harrison, Roxanne had no idea that this man with a special identity was
chatting with her husband.
She and Chloe politely waited.
After Alexander finished chatting with Harrison, he looked up from his phone, "I know a great
restaurant. Let's go there."
Chloe and Roxanne both have a thing for spicy food.
Actually, their love affair with spicy food only began after they started working out in the world.
Alexander spoke up again, "Ms. Mitchell, how about you and your friend Ms. Martinez come along? Ms.
Martinez, what do you think?"
Roxanne gave it some thought. She was not one to just up and have a meal with a stranger.
"Anne, let's go together. It would be kinda awkward if I go alone," Chloe whispered in her ear.
That's when Roxanne nodded and agreed, "Alright then."
Alexander held up his car keys and said, "We can ride in my car. I'll drop you off after we eat."
The key chain indeed bore a double R logo.
Double R, that was the Rolls-Royce logo.
Neither Roxanne nor Chloe could believe they'd get to ride in such a high-end car.
Roxanne's a straight shooter. After getting in the car, she asked, "Mr. Alexander, neither Chloe nor I
have ever been in a luxury car. This one's worth at least ten million, right?"
Alexander started the engine, "Should be over ten million. My brother gave it to me, and he has one
too."
That brother would be Harrison.
Alexander spoke up again, "Ms. Martinez, don't think too much of this car. It's just a ride."
In the future, Roxanne would also often ride in Harrison's luxury car. She just didn't know when that
would be.
Roxanne thought to herself that rich folks really were something else. Even their runaround cars were
Rolls-Royces.
And for us, the ordinary folks, our cars were just old electric cars.
The gap between people was indeed huge.
