waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

The four secretaries nodded in unison , their expressions as tragic as if they were heading off to war . Yvonne's eyes were a little red . " Chase , we're not afraid of being laid off ! But if the company really can't make it , could you ... leave us a copy of the cafeteria lady's chili sauce recipe ? " Sophia clenched her fist . " Yeah! And the cactus next to the printer , I've worked with it for two years . I've grown attached to it !

" Teresa was even more dramatic , pulling a stack of documents from her bag : " Ma'am , this is the ' Proposal for the Transformation of the Secretarial Department After Corporate Bankruptcy and Restructuring ' that I wrote overnight . Why don't you show it to the president ... " Madeleine rubbed her forehead , almost laughing out loud . " The company isn't going bankrupt . I invited you all to dinner to thank you for taking care of me during this time . " Chapter 147 As Madeleine spoke , her eyes were sincere and earnest .

" If it weren't for you all , I wouldn't have gotten up to speed with the company's business so quickly . " " But the news outside ... " " Have a little faith in my husband , will you ? " Madeleine raised an eyebrow , " You know what he's capable of . " The four secretaries nodded vigorously . Having followed Mr. Livingston for so many years , of course they knew what their boss was capable of . As they were talking , they didn't notice the soft chime of the bell on the door as three exquisitely dressed women walked in .

The short - haired beauty in the lead glanced over , her expression faltering slightly . It's her ? Fiona's gaze was unconsciously drawn to Madeleine . She was dressed beautifully , looking fresh and refined , not quite like the other times she had seen her . Chapter 147 In fact , the image of her in a champagne - colored mermaid dress at the last gala was still vivid in her mind . Back then , Edward had ditched her for nearly twenty minutes to go see her . The two women with Fiona also noticed the group over there . One of them had an exaggerated look on her face .

" Isn't that the woman who's always trying to steal Mr. Carroll ? Did she know we were coming to eat here beforehand and did this on purpose to piss us off ? " " Don't tell me she knew you were coming and thought Mr. Carroll would be here too ... And dressing like that , it's obvious she's trying to seduce someone . " Fiona withdrew her gaze . " Don't talk nonsense . We decided to come to this restaurant at the last minute . " After speaking , she glanced at her friend beside her , " Besides , who says a woman dressing up nicely is trying to seduce a man ?

" Chapter 147 The woman Fiona shot a look at flinched and nodded awkwardly . " You're right , Fiona . I shouldn't have said that . " She then glanced inside the restaurant . There were plenty of empty tables . " Let's go over there . " Far away . Out of sight , out of mind . Fiona ignored her and deliberately walked to the table closest to Madeleine to sit down . Her movements were elegant and natural , and she was very polite to the waiter who pulled out her chair . Naturally , Madeleine's attention was drawn to her . She recognized her immediately .

It was Fiona , the one who was always around Edward . Madeleine had been looking into Edward recently , and the women around him ... you couldn't even count them on ten fingers . They were all rumored to be involved with him , but there was Chapter 147 never any proof . Lately , this Fiona was the one Edward brought out the most . Rumor was their families had a close partnership coming up . She looks like a real beauty , too . How could she be so blind ... After complaining internally , Madeleine couldn't help but touch her nose , feeling a bit guilty . Don't even mention it .

When she was under the narrative control's influence , she was even blinder than Fiona . Pulling her gaze away , Madeleine went back to chatting with her secretaries . They were laughing and talking , and the atmosphere was great . As she was eating , Madeleine heard the sound of high heels approaching . Then , she caught a glimpse of Fiona . She was holding a glass of red wine , smiling as she walked toward her . " Madeleine ? What a coincidence . " Chapter 147 Her red lips curved into a slight smile . " I didn't expect to run into you here . When I first saw you , I thought I was mistaken .

" Madeleine slowly set down her fork , the silverware making a crisp sound against the ceramic plate . She looked up , pretending she had just noticed her . " Fiona , what a coincidence . " " You like this restaurant too ? " Fiona smiled and looked around . " This restaurant is famous , but it's quite niche . If Edward hadn't brought me here once , I wouldn't even know about it . " Madeleine's expression remained gentle , but a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes . " So Mr. Carroll likes it here too ?
