Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 217 Chapter 217 When Whitney got home, she told Klein she didn't have an assistant anymore. Klein was secretly thrilled, but he kept a straight face and pretended not to care. "Honey, do you want me to get Townsend to find you a female assistant?" Klein asked. Whitney smirked and rolled her eyes. "Are you sure you want to ask Townsend to get me an assistant? What if she turns out to be a lesbian? Are you going to have her reassigned too?" Klein could tell Whitney was holding a bit of a grudge, and he scratched his nose awkwardly. "Honey, I was wrong. Forget about the assistant.

Maybe I'll just ask Townsend to go easy on you," Klein said, trying to sound innocent. Whitney couldn't help but laugh. "Look at you, acting all grown up." Honestly, she was just a little annoyed that Klein was always sticking his nose into her work, even if he claimed it was for her own good. But at least he knew when to back off. Whenever she pushed back against his bossy side, he'd immediately dial it down. That was the kind of tacit understanding they'd developed after being married for so long. ***** At the law firm, Whitney turned to Valerie.

"Hey Valerie, I didn't ask my family to send lunch today. How about we eat out together?" Whitney suggested. Whitney was getting a little tired of the usual healthy meals from home and wanted to try something different for a change. Valerie was glued to her phone, giggling like a schoolgirl every now and then. Whitney looked at her, puzzled, and waved her hand in front of Valerie's face. "Hey, Valerie, what are you spacing out about?" Valerie snapped out of it. "Huh? Whitney, did you say something to me?" Whitney blinked. "Yeah, I was asking what you wanted for lunch.

Wanna grab lunch together at that new spot downstairs? My family isn't sending food today." They were always a great team at work. They loved checking out every new spot downstairs, and Valerie was always game for a meal. But today, she actually turned Whitney down, which was pretty unusual. Whitney grinned. "So, you got lunch plans today?" Valerie glanced away, looking a bit guilty. "Yeah, a friend's coming over to hang out.

Haha, Whitney, you should go eat with Candy and the others." Whitney nodded, clearly lost in thought, 'So Valerie's got something going on today, huh?' she mused to herself, 16:54 Thu, Jan 1 M Chapter 217 At lunchtime, Candy leaned over to Whitney. "Hey Whitney, have you noticed Valerie's been acting a little weird lately?" Candy asked. Whitney raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean by weird?" 50 vouchet "Yeah, usually when we have lunch, we're all about the gossip. But lately, she's just glued to her phone, barely says a word, and keeps giggling at her phone," Candy said.

"So, we all believe that Valerie's definitely seeing someone!" Candy added. Whitney opened her mouth, and then it hit her. "It's totally normal for Valerie to have a boyfriend. Maybe her family set her up on a blind date," Whitney said. Valerie had always complained about her family setting her up on boring, awkward blind dates almost every week. She was totally numb to it by now. 'Did she actually end up with someone?' Whitney wondered. "No way! I don't think her family set her up," Candy said. Whitney narrowed her eyes.

"Why do you say that?" "Yesterday, she came over and asked me if a pair of men's shoes that cost 1,000 dollars looked nice," Candy said. "I told her they were pretty nice, and she just walked off all happy. Seriously, she's only just started seeing this guy. You don't think she's gotten herself tangled up with some kind of playboy, do you?" Candy added. Whitney's face grew serious. Something about this didn't sit right with her. 'Sure, it's totally normal for couples to give each other little gifts when they're dating, Whitney thought to herself.

But it'd only been a week since Valerie started dating this guy. 'Is she really spending that much on a pair of shoes after just one week?' Whitney thought. That was like a third of her paycheck. "And you know, you shouldn't buy shoes for a guy. If you do, he'll just run away," Candy said. "Come on, who told you that old wives' tale?" Whitney asked. "Whatever, believe it or not," Candy said. Whitney couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly, she felt like doing something unorthodox. "Candy, you guys go on ahead. I'm gonna check out the shop next door and maybe buy something," Whitney said.

Whitney had never bought shoes for Klein before. 'Will he really run away if I buy him shoes?' she thought, smirking to herself. During lunch break, Ryan got a message from Whitney, which was unusual. [Hey Ryan, do you know what shoe size Mr. Harris wears? I'm asking you on the down-low, so don't tell him, okay?] Whitney texted. Ryan thought to himself, 'Is Whitney planning a surprise for Mr. Harris?' 16:54 Thu, Jan 1 MIRA Chapter 217 'Perfect timing,' Ryan thought. "The finance department botched the third-quarter numbers, and the CFO practically melted under Mr.

Harris's death stare.' 'Whitney giving him a gift might actually lift his spirits, Ryan mused, perking up at the idea. [He usually wears a size 43.5, so he goes with a 44.] Ryan texted back. Whitney got the message and couldn't help but be a little surprised. 'Huh, Klein's feet are actually pretty big, she thought to herself. She browsed around the men's shoe store and finally picked out a pair just like the ones he always wore.

Of course, they couldn't compare to those high-end custom shoes he used to buy, but with the price tag close to 30,000 dollars, Whitney figured that was already expensive enough. With her shopping bag in hand, Whitney was about to head back to the law firm when she suddenly spotted Valerie in a high-end men's suit store. 'Didn't she say she was meeting a friend for lunch?' Whitney thought, raising her eyebrows. 'So she's actually out shopping for her boyfriend?' she mused.

This place specialized in custom suits, and one couldn't get anything decent here for less than 10,000 dollars Whitney could accept that Valerie was buying her boyfriend a pair of 1,000 dollars shoes. But a suit that cost more than 10,000 dollars? That was way out of Valerie's league. After all, the last time Valerie had her eye on a 7,000 dollars bag, she'd been talking about it for two months and still hadn't bought it. Whitney pursed her lips, watching as Valerie actually swiped her card. Something about this just didn't feel right.

'Valerie's boyfriend is definitely not your average guy,' Whitney thought, a little uneasy. ***** Valerie slipped back to her desk right at 2, but Whitney noticed she wasn't carrying any shopping bags. Whitney played it cool. "Back from lunch, Valerie?" Valerie gave a nervous grin. "Oh, yeah." Then Whitney watched as Valerie headed to the break room and grabbed a few bread rolls. Whitney was really struggling with this. She wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn't come. Anyone could see Valerie was completely obsessed with her new boyfriend.

If Whitney tried to burst her bubble, she'd probably just end up making her work buddy mad. But if she kept her mouth shut, she was afraid Valerie would fall even harder and get in way over her head. 'Whatever, I'll just leave it for now and wait until Valerie comes to me,' Whitney sighed, deciding not to meddle for the moment. 16:54 Thu, Jan 1 J MA Chapter 217 When Whitney got home with her shopping bag, Klein raised his eyebrows. "Been out shopping?" She smiled playfully. "Yeah, I did. Bought something for the babies.

05 54 as youcliers It wasn't until later that night, after she was done with her nighttime routine, that Whitney walked over and handed Klein the shoes. "Here, I got these for you. Go try them on." Klein froze for a second, caught off guard. "Wait, for me? I get a gift?" he said, looking genuinely surprised. Whitney puffed up, looking a little offended. "What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying I never buy you gifts?" "No, no, that's not what I meant," Klein said quickly, trying to smooth things over.

Klein couldn't hide his excitement as he opened the shopping bag, his eyes lighting up when he saw a pair of sleek, shiny black leather shoes inside. He grinned from ear to ear. "I love them." Klein pulled Whitney onto his lap and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Baby, I love them so much." He loved anything she gave him, no matter what it was. Whitney grinned, teasing him. "Hey, you know what they say, if a woman buys a man shoes, he'll just run off." She gave him a sly wink.

"Let's see if you'll actually run away from me." Klein's eyes narrowed, his voice dropping to a low, husky whisper. "Baby, I'm not running away from you." "But I might just crash right into you," he teased, his tone full of mischief. Whitney blushed badly. "You're shameless!" 'Shame? What's that? Can you eat it?' Klein thought to himself, not even pretending to be embarrassed. Klein nibbled on her earlobe, his voice low and teasing. "Yeah, I'm shameless." "All I want is you," he murmured, his breath warm against her skin. Tonight was far from over...
