Marcus spoke Buly,
“You don’t have the ability for it.”
Mabel’s complains fore in her that.
Her eyes went wide.
She even pinched herself, wondering if she was imagining things,
How could this be happening!
Over the past few weeks, by looking after Margaret, she’d earned her ticket into the Wilson family’s inner circle. Things had been going so smoothly,
She got a bit carried away, and neglected Marcus for a while.
But lately.
He had been a bit distant.
Was it because her moves in bed weren’t daring enough!
They say men lose interest once they’ve had what they want, but honestly, it’s more about them getting bored.
Looks like it’s time to switch up her sleepwear
Margaret’s approval was crucial, but Marcus’s feelings had to be locked down too. Otherwise, being Mrs. Wilson would just be a title with no weight. “Alright, alright. I shouldn’t have asked. I was just worried you’re working too hard. Don’t be mad, let’s go see Dr. Feron, okay?”
Marcus didn’t respond.
They walked in silence for a while.
When they passed the surgery department.
Gemma’s promotional poster blocked their path.
Marcus stopped again, staring at the photo.
Mabel rambled on, getting no response, and only then did she realize he was still fixated on Gemma’s picture.
His eyes were dark and unreadable.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Panicking, she shook his arm, “Come on, don’t keep Dr. Feron waiting ”
Reluctantly, Marcus pulled his gaze away.
But before leaving, he snapped a picture of the poster on his phone.
Gemina, confident and radiant, beamed from the photo-
Her unile so bright it made his heart race
Gemma had already given Call a heads–up, so she went straight upstairs
She knocked on the door.
When it opened, the looked up. but no one was there!
“Gemmal”
Noah’s soft voice echoed
She looked down in surprise.
with Briar
Noah immediately wrapped his little arms around her legs. “Where have you been? The food’s cold.”
What
What was going on!
“What are you doing here?”
Noah looked confused. “But didn’t you tell Cali to bring me!”
Cali limped out of the kitchen
Chapter 180 Gemma, Does Dr. Read Like You!
When she saw Gemma, she smiled. “Oli, I went to meet a client today and ran into Mr. Cassius. He was going to drop Noah off, but then he saw me and asked me to help.
Gemina took out her phone and checked the conversation with Cassius
Still no reply.
Had he said anything about her taking care of Noaht
Ikat Noah was here, and that made her happy. After a moment’s thought, she sent an
“Noth has been picked up”
Message sent, and still no reply from Cass
Brian came in with some frus, cluckling softly,
Ms. Cali, are you close with Mr. Cassine
Cali could tell from Gemma’s expression that she’d probably made a mistake,
Since Gemma won’t angry.
She felt a little relieved.
She answered Brian’s question.
“We’ve met a few times,” Call was still confused–Mr. Cassius was a big boss with tons of assistants
He could’ve asked anyone to do this, so why trust her?
But somehow, he did.
She glanced at Gemma feeling a little guilty.
She suspected in was because of Gemma’s connection to Cassius.
After all, Gemma was basically a life–saver to their family.
Today, after getting temporary custody of Noah, all kinds of managers had been begging to work with her
Before, she had to chase after clients like a dog, but now they were practically begging her to take their offen. She’d already signed several big contracts, almost in tears from all the success.
Brian nodded at Noah “Hey there, butle guy,”
Noah sired him up, then waved slowly. “HL”
After a moment, he asked. “Brian, are you here for dinner 100”
Brin
Awkward silence.
If he said yes, it’d feel too forward.
If he said no, they had the food already, so be’d have to leave.
“I’m here to talk business with Call”
He was always polite, well–mannered, but now he was pretending not to notice the food on the table.
“Ms. Call, we need your designs for our company’s uniforms. We’d like to discuss a partnership”
It was a big deal.
This year, they needed her designs, and next year, they’d need updates. Plus, each season required something different, but they’d pay every time.
In the past, Cali would’ve been so excited, she might’ve fallen to her knees..
Now!
She’d already signed too many deals today. She was going to be sleep–deprived for months.
She didn’t have the energy to take on another one.
“Dr. Read, I appreciate your trust, but I’ve got a lot of work on my plate right now. I’m not available at the moment
Belan was gunned
He was being rejected?
This order was big enough to keep a small design firm afloat!
He looked over at Gemma
She was holding Noah, talking softly to him, like she had no interest in business at all.
Gemma just thought this way.
Whatever Cali wanted to do or not do, she’d support her.
And honestly, she didn’t know anything about design–she couldn’t help.
Chapter 130: Gemma, Does Dr. Read Like You!
All she could do was not get in the way
Call quickly jumpul
“We have many talented designers in our company. If Dr. Read is in a hurry, I can introduce you to someone else.”
Brun looked daappointed “Tinasi Ms. Call’s talents muse.”
Cali felt more embarrassed. Dat if you want me to designs it, you’ll have to wait four months”
Brian’s Dice lit up. “Lan waiti Ms. Cali, I’m officially reserving a spot. You can’t bail on me now
Cali blinked, shocked. She hadn’t expected him to actually agree.
This felt alle surreal.
“Uh okay, I go?”
She didn’t have much of a choice
Dran smiled.
at this point.
Okay, I leave you two to chat Take care.
“Dr. Read, stay for dimer!” Cali said, instinctively offering.
Brian hesitated “Won’t be a bother?”
Before Cali could finish, Noah nam over, “Cali. F’m so hungry, can you feed me?”
“Okay, okay. I’ll feed you,” Cali melted at Noah’s cateness, her heart practically turning to mush
Brian was left standing awkwardly on the side.
“Well, I’ll just go then.”
He glanced at Gemma reluctant to leave.
Gemma stood up. “Thrive safe, Brian, I’ll return the file tomorrow.”
Bran sighed inwardly.
Oh well
There’s always another day.
After he left, Cali closed the door and rushed over to Gemma with a mysterious look.
“Gemma be honest–does Dr. Read like you?”
