Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Just as Primrose was about to get up to get another glass of juice, a strange man came from the front, sitting a chair away from her. Primrose looked at him; this was an elderly man, slightly fat and bald, with a strong perfume scent around him and eyes full of passion for Primrose. The excessive initiative caused Primrose to be on guard; she slightly backed away.

"Don't be so far away. I forgot to introduce myself. I am the director of Ahea Company, which is the most famous technology company in the market today.

Primrose knew this company, of course, was a prestigious one, but this had nothing to do with Primrose's disgust with the man. Since sitting down, his eyes have never left Primrose's face, and the interest in his eyes made Primrose feel a little disgusted.

This man approached her with bad intentions.

"Why don't you say anything? Not every girl is initiated by me to talk to. Are you a model or an idol who wants to debut? If I become your mistress, I can make you famous very quickly."

At today's party, not only the directors of big companies but also many famous artists were invited. Primrose saw many famous singers and models appear here. Obviously, Primrose's beautiful appearance misled him into thinking that she was just a celebrity who wanted to come here looking for a rich man.

"I hope you have some respect; I'm married, and it's not like any female idol wants to live with a man." "My husband is jealous; please stay away for a bit."

Primrose uncomfortably replied, clearly not half sympathetic to the fat old man. Moreover, his way of speaking contemptuously toward women made her feel a bit nauseous.

She has no interest in continuing to communicate with him, which makes her feel like a huge waste of time. But when Primrose got up to leave, her arm was suddenly grabbed.

"Don't leave, pretty girl. What if you have a husband? I don't care. As long as you want, I can definitely buy you more expensive clothes and bags than your wife; you should obediently stay here and talk to me."

Seeing Primrose's disgusted look, he continued.

"Or maybe your husband might be in trouble because of you. So, don't make me angry."

Primrose was touched for no reason; the whole body got goosebumps; the feeling was so disgusting that he wanted to vomit directly; the man's big, fat arm grabbed the arm that Primrose was disgusted with and pushed it away. She was about to respond when she was quickly pulled into a warm chest.

"Oh, how did I not know what trouble I could get into if my wife angered you?"

After talking, Joel wanted to find him but happened to see his wife being ragged by another person, her face clearly showing impatience and hatred. So Joel quickly stepped forward to protect Primrose, overhearing this arrogant voice.

The other man was initially extremely victorious and confident with his status as a rich director, but when he saw Joel appear, his whole body broke out in a cold sweat. When he heard Primrose say she was married, he thought that Primrose lied to deceive him or that her husband could only be a man without rights.

Unexpectedly, in the end, her husband's identity made him tremble so much.

His face froze, trying to ruffle his hair and slowly explain how much sincerity he wanted to have.

"Joel, it's all a misunderstanding; that's not what I meant."

Joel grabbed Primrose's hand and gently rubbed the wrist that was just held by the man; his eyes were so cold that he could freeze the opposite person.

"Isn't that what it means? Do you mean I'm deaf, or I'm stupid enough to not understand what you just said?"

After saying that, he stroked Joel's face to reassure him.

"So Primrose, tell me, how should I understand his statement?"

Primrose had regained her composure now, Joel's breath wafting over her body, making her quickly forget the nausea she felt earlier. However, Primrose also had no intention of letting that man continue to be pleased.

"I think you got it right; he wanted to harass me and said I could leave you to follow him; he will give me a lot of money to buy clothes and bags of top brands."

Primrose said it coldly, his eyes looking straight at the opposite person, making him regret it. Joel also knows how to coordinate with Primrose, continuing to speak to that man in a somewhat disdainful tone.

"You are the director of Ahea Company, right? Yesterday, I also came to my company's door to ask for cooperation, with a very respectful attitude. Today harassing my wife, forcing her to leave me to follow you, it's really sincere."

Joel coldly smiled, but his smile made the opposite person shiver.

"Adults who dare to do so dare to suffer the consequences. After today, I think you should come back and pray to receive my anger."

Joel didn't want to say anything more, pulled Primrose's hand out of the party, and drove away, leaving an endless commotion.

"I didn't expect you to be so clever. Don't people on the outside say that you're a laid-back person? Have you changed?"

After Primrose finished eating, she leaned back and casually wiped her mouth, smiling at Joel seductively. Joel also ignored this provocation and very calmly nodded, following Primrose to continue.

"The rumors are not believable. Moreover, I do it all for my wife. Whether you are touched is the most important thing."

Primrose pretended not to hear, turned to go upstairs to get her bag, and then went to the office. Recently, the company started a new project; the work is also more than usual, and she does not have too much time to chat with Joel anymore.

Joel saw Primrose in a hurry, not too concerned about him, and obediently kept his mouth shut, quietly driving to Primrose's company as usual. It wasn't until Primrose got out of the car, about to turn around and go straight, that he spoke up.

"No goodbye kiss, not even a hello, heartless woman?"

Joel's voice is both attractive and somewhat faltering, but the most prominent is still his unwillingness. This expression made Primrose laugh too, slowly turning around and poking his head in to tease Joel.

"Sure, goodbye, my husband. We'll see you tonight, so don't miss me too much."

The soft voice and gentle expression on Primrose's face momentarily stunned Joel. It was too seductive. However, Primrose didn't wait for Joel's reply and happily left, leaving him staring blankly at the familiar figure. Recently, not only Primrose but perhaps Joel also has strange feelings when interacting with another person.

After arriving at the company and sitting down, Primrose did not have too much free time but went to make a cup of coffee to stay awake. The bitterness of coffee always makes her frown, but caffeine can help her stay awake to complete the morning's work. This project is important, so of course there can be no errors that affect the work's progress.

When Primrose sat down at her desk again, it was almost time for work. She turned on her computer and focused on handling this morning's work. While working, Primrose's concentration is always at an absolute level, which is why, in important projects of the company, the department director always lets Primrose participate because he highly appreciates her ability.

Soon it was almost noon, and while Primrose was working, the department manager called Primrose to her office to discuss this project. This can be considered one of the key projects of the year, so she is very interested in the progress of the work. Moreover, Primrose, who is participating in a collaborative project with Joel's company, will not be able to participate, but she loves and believes in Primrose's ability to work, so she gave Primrose an opportunity this time. For the director of this department, Primrose had great respect.

"If you have any difficulty, you can directly mention it to me." Joining two projects at the same time will be a lot of work. Don't hesitate to share the difficulty; I can help you."
