Chapter 62: She’s Starting to Call Him Hubby
“Fifty million dollars.” Rex’s simple words caused the entire scene to boil with excitement.
The necklace, originally worth 10 million dollars, was raised to 50 million dollars, more than 40 million dollars. If Halsey continued to raise the price, he would think about the strength of the Green family.
“Fifty million dollars going once, fifty million dollars going twice, fifty million dollars going thrice. Deal!”
In the end, the necklace was taken by Rex, and Halsey went back dejectedly.
Just as Wendy was about to come up with an idea, she was interrupted by Rex’s appearance. She glared at him and said, “Why do you come back at this moment? Do you want to make things difficult for me?”
Rex was not angry. He smiled lightly and said, “Today is your birthday.”
Wendy was instantly dumbfounded. She slapped her head and said, “That’s right, today is my birthday; I forgot about it.”
“A person’s stupidity is shown in every aspect of life,” Rex said with a smile. He took out a necklace from behind him and handed an exquisitely packaged box to Wendy. “Open it and take a look.”
Wendy stared at the box and glanced at Rex. “For me?”
Rex wanted it back and said, “If you don’t want it, give it back to me.”
“Who said I didn’t want it?” Wendy smiled and then opened the box. Her heart was instantly filled with gratitude. This was the last neckless that her favorite designer designed. She had always dreamed of buying the necklace, but it was just a dream.
Wendy wrapped her arms around Rex’s neck and hung him like a koala. “Hubby, I love you.”
Rex’s eyes moved. This was the first time Wendy had taken the initiative to call him hubby and even expressed her love for him.
“Hmm, there’s been some progress. You know how to call me hubby now.” Rex deliberately didn’t show his inner feelings too obviously, but his voice was still very happy.
That night, the two of them went on a date together. Wendy became more and more certain that she had feelings for Rex. However, after Stella found out about this, she found it unbelievable. She did not expect a calm and composed man like Rex to become restless because of a woman.
It looked like Rex’s feelings for Wendy had far exceeded her imagination.
Since she was in high spirits, Wendy found the inspiration for her design again. She went to Stella confidently with her design draft.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Miss Brown, this is my latest design draft. Take a look at it.”
Stella caught it, and her expression changed slightly. In truth, this design draft was already perfect enough, but Stella cherished its talent. She had intentionally made things difficult for Wendy to stimulate the hidden power within her.
As a result, Stella returned Wendy’s design draft again and again with a cold expression on her face. Previously, Stella had listened to other people’s gossip. She thought Wendy had relied on her relationship with Rex to get in, but then she thought her judgment was right.
At the very least, those who caught Rex’s eyes must be of good quality.
After polishing and modifying the theme, again and again, Wendy finally finished the design of the theme and successfully created her reputation for Glory Group.
“Miss Brown, thank you. If not for you, I would not have improved so quickly and would not have had the chance to be enrolled into Glory Group.”
Stella smiled at Wendy and said, “That’s because you’re capable. I think highly of you, Wendy. By the way, I’m going to a meeting in the afternoon to study the company’s new product development. Otherwise, as my assistant, you can work for the company.”
Wendy looked pleasantly surprised. “Really?”
Seeing her like this, Stella felt like she had seen her sister. She patted her shoulder and said, “Wendy, believe in yourself. You can do it.”
At the meeting, there was still no lack of people who scoffed at Wendy, but they were all ignored by her. Perhaps, she should listen to Daisy and ignore these rumors.
Why did she need to care about the comments of someone unrelated to her?
The person presiding over the meeting was the vice president, and Wendy knew very well why Rex hadn’t held the meeting. He was afraid that others would criticize her.
In fact, after getting along with him for some time, Wendy had developed a certain understanding of Rex. This man had never returned to explain his silent efforts behind the scenes. He had expressed them all with his actions. It was just that occasionally, she would feel that he had a stiff personality and a cold attitude. Still, such a man lacked a sense of security in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have been so angry when Halsey appeared.
“I don’t think women can only wear jewelry. In this era, many men have also begun to wear jewelry that fits their temperament. This doesn’t mean that they are sissy, nor does it mean that they are unconventional. It doesn’t mean that they are pursuers of life. I hope that everyone can work harder on this new product.” After the deputy general manager’s summary, everyone began to discuss. Seeing that Wendy had an idea, Stella motioned for her to stand up and stay.
Wendy was a little nervous, but there was something in her heart that she could not hold back. She raised her hand like a primary school student and said, “Vice president, I, I have an idea.”
Everyone’s eyes were on her. Under everyone’s gaze, Wendy stood up with a firm and bright look in her eyes. “I think many modern city men attach great importance to practical concepts now, and high-end people like them are also very interested in watches. We can consider wristwatches as a micro concept and then spread it. As for how to design and what kind of product to design, I think it needs to be studied by everyone. Of course, this is just a small idea of mine. You are all predecessors, so take it as a show of strength.”
This wasn’t showing off at all. This was clearly showing off the talent. Stella hadn’t thought of such an idea, but Wendy did. Everyone present, including those who used to scoff at Wendy, had a new respect for her. Some had even started fawning over her after leaving the meeting room.
Wendy was able to distinguish between right and wrong. She naturally knew that some people she could get close to should stay away, just as Rex had said. After all, Wendy was also his woman. Although what he had said was right, she still had to give Rex face on such an occasion.
In the end, the company’s higher-ups discussed and decided on this plan. They adopted Wendy’s idea. Stella also praised Wendy in the regular meeting of the department. Some people were naturally jealous, but there was nothing they could do. After all, in Glory Group, the person at the top was Rex. It was impossible to say that they were not afraid of his power.
After rushing to draft the design for a few days, Wendy was exhausted. Before leaving the room in the early morning, she felt dizzy and wanted to sleep in.
“Get up. If you don’t get up now, you’ll be late.” Rex stood by the bed and looked down at Wendy.
Wendy grabbed the blanket with one hand and covered it over her head. “Let me sleep for another five minutes. I don’t know why I want to sleep so much during this period.”
Rex directly pulled off her quilt and ordered, “As your leader, I order you to get up immediately.”
“Ah!” Wendy got up irritably and glared at Rex, who was making trouble. “Let me tell you; you act too violently at me.”
Rex smiled, leaned over, and left a kiss on Wendy’s lips. Then, he winked at her and said, “Stupid woman, remember, my violence can be carried out on the bed.”
“You!” Wendy was furious. “Pervert.”
“Well, then I’m only interested in you.”
Wendy did not feel sleepy at all. With a slightly shy smile, she gently pushed Rex away, who was standing in front of her. “Stop being so poor. I’m going to wash my face.”
Unexpectedly, Rex pulled her into his arms and said in an alluring voice, “Since you’re already late, why don’t you take leave from home?”
“Rex, don’t go too far…… um…… too much……”
After the passion, Wendy snuggled up in Rex’s arms. Her little hands restlessly drew on his chest. Finally, she raised her head and asked, “Guess what I wrote?”
Rex lowered his head and saw himself in her eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said, “My name, little fool.”
