Seize His Little Wife

Christine White had wanted to say yes, but then she thought that she would have to go back to the old mansion early tonight to attend tomorrow’s ancestor festival, so she had to heartily decline.

“I’m sorry Debby , I’m afraid I can’t tonight, how about in a couple of days?”

“What are you doing tonight?” Debby York asked.

Christine White was reticent for two seconds, “Well, a little family business.”

“Alright then, day after tomorrow then, don’t you dare stand me up then.” Debby York snickered.

Christine White nodded heavily, “Good.”

Hanging up the phone, she exhaled slightly and took a sip of the water on her desk, then got up and went to Baird Lane’s office.

“Come in!” The man’s cool voice rang through the door.

Christine White pushed her way in, “President Lane.”

“Why you?” Baird Lane gave her a look, “Finished with the information I asked you to organize?”

“No.” Christine White shook her head.

“So what are you doing over here?” Baird Lane withdrew his gaze and continued to grade the papers in his hand.

Christine White stopped in front of his desk, “I came to ask you if Debby’s promotion was your arrangement?”

“Did you say Debby York?”

“Right.”

“It’s me!”

Christine White wasn’t too surprised to hear the man admit it; after all, she had already guessed it.

She was just curious as to why he was doing it.

So thought she, and so asked out loud.

Baird Lane replied to her without looking up as he signed his name on the paperwork, “I remember you saying that she was your only friend and took care of you right?”

“Yes, but what does that have to do with her promotion?” Christine White was filled with confusion.

Baird Lane set aside one of the papers he was handling, “It doesn’t matter much, since she’s your friend, I’m doing this as a thank you for taking care of you.”

Christine White was surprised to the point where her little mouth dropped open and it took her a while to find her voice, “So you did it for me?”

“What’s the problem?” Baird Lane looked up at him.

Christine White straightened up, “There, why for me?”

The question that stumped Baird Lane.

The color of his eyes sank, making it impossible to see the emotions under his eyes.

Yeah, why would he play favorites for her with a regular employee who has nothing to offer?

And still did it for no reason at all!

Just because that Debby York woman had taken care of her? But what did that have to do with him?

Baird Lane’s thin lips pursed up, forced down the answer that was almost ready to come out from the bottom of his heart, and returned with an expressionless face, “There’s no reason for it, if I want to do it, I’ll do it.”

That’s right, he just suddenly remembered, it wasn’t specifically for her, Baird Lane told himself in his mind.

But the hand that held the pen slowly tightened, and a flash of weakness, which he himself had not detected, crossed his eyes.

Christine White didn’t notice the difference in Baird Lane and lowered her eyelids in some disappointment, “Okay, I get it.”

She didn’t get the answer she wanted, but she was content.

At least Debby York got her promotion because of her.

“Is there anything else you want?” Baird Lane tapped the table.

Christine White waved her hand, “I’m fine.”

“You’re fine, so it’s my turn to ask you.” Baird Lane’s eyes went suddenly cold.

Christine White was a little apprehensive, “I … Did I do something wrong?”

She stiffened a little cautiously.

Baird Lane’s eyes narrowed, “Are you in contact with Hugh Dong?”

“Hugh Dong? “Christine White was slightly stunned, “You mean the president of Dong’s group?”

Baird Lane didn’t respond, by default.

Christine White immediately denied, “No no, I’m not familiar with General Manager Dong, how could we have contact, I even showed you my cell phone last time, I don’t even have his contact information.”

“But he’s been thinking about you.” Baird Lane’s mouth curved in an icy curve.

Christine White looked at him dumbfounded, “Thinking of me?”

“He called and said he wanted me to take you to dinner with him.” Baird Lane twirled his pen and spoke softly, but the coldness in his words was indeed unmistakable.

Christine White’s form shook, “I’m not going!”

God knows what that Hugh Dong wants her to do.

She really didn’t know him well!

“You must go.” Baird Lane ordered forcefully.

Christine White frowned, “Why?”

“I’ve promised.” Baird Lane returned.

He wanted to see what Hugh Dong was up to when he met Christine White.

“But …” Christine White was about to say something else.

Baird Lane interrupted her impatiently, “There’s no buts, you’re out.”

Christine White went out reluctantly.

Outside, she sighed and took out her cell phone to send a message to Debby York.

The newsletter had just gone out when Debby York called, “Christine, your newsletter said that President Lane gave me a promotion because of my good behavior?”

“… Uh-huh.” Christine White whispered back.

I don’t know whether Debby York is because she is immersed in the joy of promotion has not yet come out, she did not hear the heart in Christine White’s tone at all, on the contrary, she also laughed gleefully, “President Lane is really wise to recognize heroes ah!”

“Huh.” Christine White smiled an extremely forced smile.

“I’ve decided!” Debby York suddenly exclaimed.

Christine White was startled by her and held the phone away from her, “What did you decide?”

“I’ve decided that President Lane will be my idol from now on ah, after all, there aren’t many people who can see me shine anymore, so of course I’m going to hold it up.”

Christine White rolled her eyes, “Then why don’t you just take a picture of him and give him up!”

“Good idea!” Debby York thought it made sense.

Christine White’s heart tightened, “You’re not serious, are you?”

“What’s not to like?” Debby York asked rhetorically.

Seeing that she was actually planning to do that, Christine White’s face darkened, “You’re not allowed to do that!”

Baird Lane isn’t dead yet, what’s the point of confessing.

Even if you want to make a confession, it’s her who should do it.

She’s Baird Lane’s wife!

Hearing the seriousness in Christine White’s words, Debby York laughed heartlessly, “Christine, you’re a little too nervous, I’m just kidding, but I don’t intend to do it for sure, in case it’s seen someday, and it gets into President Lane’s ears, I can’t afford to eat it. ”

“You really don’t mean that?” Christine White was still a little unsure.

Debby York was positively assured, “Don’t worry, I really didn’t.”

“Well then, good for you.” Christine White finally let her go.

Debby York asked with a bad joke, “Christine, don’t you think you’re getting too carried away with President Lane?”

“Huh?” Christine White’s expression changed slightly and she scrambled to cover up, “No, you’re overthinking it.”

“I didn’t think much of it, I really did, and it hasn’t been one time, it’s been a number of times that I’ve caught you talking toward President Lane, or else defending President Lane all the time.”

“I … what’s wrong with me doing that, President Lane is my boss and my husband’s friend, of course I have to defend him a little more.”

“That’s true, but I just can’t quite put my finger on what’s wrong, but I can’t put my finger on that point.” Debby York let out a tangled sigh.

Christine White hurriedly changed the topic, “There’s nothing wrong, well Debby , I won’t talk to you anymore, I still have some information here that I haven’t organized, let’s talk next time.”

She hung up the phone quickly.

If we don’t hang up and keep talking, maybe Debby York will actually guess what’s going on.

Debby York can’t do much else, but she can dig up enough gossip to rival a criminal profiler.

“Phew …” With a light exhale, Christine White returned to her office, took a short break, and then resumed her heavy workload.

She was busy until after noon, when Baird Lane came over to her and she stopped.

“Come with me.” He looked at him, not to be trifled with.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
