Married to the Billionaire by Chance

Chapter 13 I Will Take Everything Back

A man in his thirties, sporting gold-wire-framed glasses, a suit, and leather shoes, exuded an air of maturity. Undoubtedly, he had an attractive appearance.

The other man appeared older, likely in his forties. He sported a beer belly and had some balding on his head.

The excitement on Marina's face immediately decreased by half. "How so?"

Eric was also a little surprised. It seemed that he didn't expect that Jovanny would not come.

The man with glasses came over and stretched out his hand towards Eric. "Hello, Eric, I am Brenden Sturt, the vice president of S&C. Mr. Latimer asked me to come and negotiate with you."

Eric came back to his senses, smiled, and shook hands with Brenden. "Nice to meet you!"

Gracelyn glanced at Marina and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you happy when the customer comes?"

Marina pouted and said, "It's not his boss."

Gracelyn was stunned. She thought, "This vice president is already very handsome, and he has a successful young career. Marina dislikes him. It's very strange."

Gracelyn was shocked about Marina's standard of men.

Gracelyn even dared not to think about dating Brenden. She knew that she was not very good to have such a rich and capable man as her boyfriend or husband.

Marina lost her enthusiasm. When she received clients, she was absent-minded. She took the opportunity to go out to get wine and sneak out.

There was no way. Gracelyn had to hold the wine alone and took turns pouring wine for the people on the table.

When Gracelyn walked to Brenden's side, Brenden glanced at her with a meaningful gaze. Gracelyn met his eyes, and she had an indescribable feeling.

She thought, "It's not like flirting. It feels like he is judging me, or is curious about me."

Gracelyn didn't understand why Brenden would show such a look to her. She was thinking about this and didn't focus on what she was doing. Suddenly, the wine spilled out directly, and the wine dripped down the edge of the table onto Brenden's trousers.

Eric shouted angrily, "Gracelyn, what are you doing?"

Gracelyn came back to her senses. She was so frightened that she quickly put the wine bottle back. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

She drew a tissue from the table and just wanted to wipe it for him, but Brenden raised her hand to stop her.

"I'll do it myself."

Gracelyn was embarrassed at the moment. She didn't expect that she would make a mistake on this occasion.

Eric said angrily, "You can't even do this small thing well. What does the company want you to do?"

Brenden casually wiped the wine on his pants, looked up, and said, "It's okay. It's me who scared your employee. I'm sorry."

Brenden's polite manner made Eric a little stunned. Eric laughed awkwardly and said, "Mr. Sturt, you are very kind. Gracelyn, pay attention. Don't be so reckless. Not everyone is as good as Mr. Sturt."

Gracelyn nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Dalton. Thank you, Mr. Sturt."

Brenden smiled and said, "Okay, you don't need to be here. Just go outside to wait. We'll do it ourselves."

Gracelyn glanced at Eric, who gave her a look and signaled that she could go.

Gracelyn left the room with relief.

She waited outside for half an hour, and the dinner party was almost finished. After settling the bill, Gracelyn went home.

It was already ten o'clock when she went back. The house was dark. She didn't know if Jovanny slept or didn't come back. Gracelyn rushed into her room anyway, threw herself on the bed, and slept deeply.

What she didn't know was that after Brenden left the hotel, he went directly to a bar.

There were not many people in the bar. A singer on stage was singing songs.

Brenden sat down, unbuttoned his suit, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp.

"It's boring to drink with Eric." Brenden smiled and looked at the man opposite him, "I saw your wife."

Jovanny supported his head, and his gaze fell on the singer on the stage. When he heard this, he turned his gaze to Brenden.

"You're idle?"

Brenden smiled and said, "I'm just too curious about who can let you get married. So, I investigated it. But it seems that you are not very satisfied with this woman. So, why do you still want to get married?"

Jovanny picked up the wine on the table and drank it. After putting down the wine glass, he looked at his watch and said, "I will go back home."

"I've just arrived, and you're leaving?"

Jovanny grabbed his coat and walked away without looking back. "We have nothing to talk about."

Brenden was stunned.

He thought, "It seems that he already knows what I am going to say next. So, he left."

The next day, Gracelyn went to work, and she found that her colleagues did not take the initiative to talk to her. They all kept their distance from her when they saw her as if she was some kind of virus or something bad.

Gracelyn knew that it may be because of what happened yesterday. She didn't care about it. Anyway, most of the people in the company were not her real good friends. She didn't have any real friends.

The department where Gracelyn worked and even the entire company, had no shortage of women who worship money. However, no one had done things so obviously.

Patrick's mother had such a simple and kind image. Gracelyn's behavior naturally caused public indignation.

Many people like to criticize others to show their goodness and kindness.

That video was spread in the company chat group. Many people saw it.

Gracelyn was good-looking. Many men in the company liked her, and some women were jealous of her. So, they naturally had to bully Gracelyn when they had this opportunity.

In just one day, this thing was spread throughout the company.

No matter where Gracelyn went, she would be greeted with a playful gaze, as if she was the most despicable and shameless woman in the world.

When she went to the toilet, she could still hear the discussion outside.

"35 thousand dollars is not much. I think that her request is not excessive."

"This is not too much? Patrick likes her so much, but she dislikes his parents. I think that she just wants Patrick and money at the same time. She's very cunning."

"Yes, I think it's also the case. Patrick is handsome and good. The key is that he has great potential to develop well. Gracelyn is too anxious. She had to pretend to be kind before marriage."

"What you said is objective. She just wants to live better. She just handles it in a wrong way."

A few people were chattering. Gracelyn pushed open the door of the compartment and walked out.

When they saw Gracelyn, they froze and immediately smiled awkwardly. Then, they ran out of the restroom.

Gracelyn stared at their back, and her fingers clenched tightly.

She thought, "Doesn't Patrick just want the 35 thousand dollars? I won't let him get his wish. Not only 35 thousand dollars, but in the past two years, all the accounts between us had to be calculated."

Gracelyn took out her mobile phone, looked through the address book, and found the phone number that had existed on the phone for a long time.

Gracelyn hesitated for a while, and she dialed the number.

Soon the phone was connected, and a man's voice came from over there, "Is this Gracelyn?"

Hearing the man's voice, Gracelyn breathed a sigh of relief. She felt she was lucky that the man did not change his mobile phone number.

"Randy, this is Gracelyn."
