Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Primrose really didn't want to talk to someone as stubborn as Jamie; the impulsiveness and stubbornness in every word made her mood gradually worsen. Ever since Cris broke up with Jamie, she'd come to Primrose's side and say such nonsense.

Primrose just felt disgusted.

"Also, now I don't fail like before. I was accepted to be the head of the strategy department at company X; I don't need to mention my reputation anymore, right?"

"You and I won't be on the same level in the future, hmm."

Jamie seemed to remember something, speaking arrogantly. After all, among them, very few people choose to start a business, but they often go to do what they like for a few years and then inherit the family company. Jamie wanted to work for a big and famous company before taking over her father's company, which is understandable.

But when Primrose heard the name of company X, it was a bit funny; isn't that Joel's company? It seems that the fate between her and Jamie is always very magical.

"Yeah, you and Primrose can't be on the same level because X company won't have an employee as shameless as you from now on."

A low, powerful male voice suddenly sounded, making everyone look over. Joel also casually put his hands in his pants pockets, leisurely walking to Primrose's side.

Primrose was also somewhat surprised and looked at Joel curiously as if to ask why he was here, only to receive a hint of a smile.

"Who are you? How can you speak with such disdain for others?"

"Ah, are you the man that Primrose brought in recently, coming to support Primrose? However, don't protect Primrose by bringing others down; what right do you have to kick me out of X company?"

Jamie crossed his arms disdainfully, clearly unafraid of Joel's words. Joel is also very calm, looking at the person behind him and calmly raising his voice.

"Oh, then you tell this girl who I am."

At this time, Jamie noticed that there was still a person walking behind Joel; this face was very familiar to her as the director of the strategy department of X company.

A bad premonition appeared, making Jamie shiver involuntarily. The man Joel mentioned also coldly looked at Jamie and said

"You are Jamie, right? A few days ago, I said you passed the interview and successfully got hired, but now it has changed; next week you don't need to go to the company to work anymore.

Pause for a moment, he continued.

"Company X doesn't need to hire someone who likes to offend others and is as immoral as you."

Jamie completely collapsed. She looked at Primrose hatefully.

"Primrose, it's all your fault. It's because of you that I got fired, unlucky woman."

"How about seducing a rich man? Later, when he gets bored of you and is attracted to other beautiful and young girls, you will turn back to being a stupid and pitiful woman."

Jamie finished speaking and left angrily, not wanting to continue teasing Primrose. Primrose was, of course, not very pleased to hear this, but she also did not want to continue arguing.

She looked at Joel beside her and asked softly.

"Why did you come here at this hour?"

Joel pointed to the man behind him and casually said,

"I went to survey the market, unexpectedly met you, and saw that you were bullied, so I approached."

"Is it enough to fire that woman? Or did I create a little more trouble for her father's company?"

Joel spoke calmly of Jamie, gently stroking Primrose's hair. Primrose thought it was unnecessary and just shook her head slightly and smiled.

"Such punishment is enough; she is not worth our effort."

Joel nodded, about to say something more, when he heard a soft cough.

"Uhm, I don't want to bother you two; I just wanted to say I've finished picking my clothes."

"Primrose, do you return with me or go with your husband?"

Nancy asked while smiling slightly; only then did Primrose notice that she and Joel's posture was a bit too intimate right now. Joel stood very close to her and leaned slightly to talk, so the distance between the two narrowed, looking more intimate.

Primrose took a hasty step back, panic flickering across her face. Joel also stared at Primrose's every move in a flattering way, only smiling softly.

"You go to dinner with your friend. I still have work to do; I can't follow you two."

Primrose nodded stupidly, and Joel finished speaking and hurriedly left. Anyway, his work today is still a lot. Seeing Primrose and participating in the conversation just now was unintentional because he couldn't just stand by while Primrose was being bullied by others.

Returning to the magical atmosphere where Primrose and Nancy were standing, Nancy's eyes sparkled with laughter, filled with amusement, as she stared at Primrose, determined not to miss any suspicious reactions.

"Primrose, tell me, is this a not-so-familiar housemate relationship between you two?"

Not long ago, when Nancy and Primrose went to a bar together, Primrose boldly announced that her relationship with Joel was only based on a stupid marriage certificate, not that the two were not too familiar. But based on the two's expressions and today's events, it seems that things are not so simple, Nancy pondered.

"Stop talking nonsense; let's eat; I'm hungry."

Primrose had no choice but to shift Nancy's attention elsewhere, her face filled with reluctance. Who knew today I would run into the person harassing Jamie? Joel also came to join the fun. Even she herself is still not clear about what all these things are like.

"Your behavior is very suspicious; I will pay more attention to you, haha."

Nancy happily smiled and pulled Primrose's hand away. Today's story is really special. First, she met a bad-tempered friend from Primrose's high school, and then her malice was suppressed by Joel. Extremely interesting.

"Hey, but Primrose, I noticed that Joel seems to be very nice to you, not completely cold and disinterested. You don't have any sympathy for him after all that time together?"

In front of Nancy, Primrose always showed a carefree attitude, not too interested in this marriage. It can be said that even though she is married, her personal life is still relatively relaxed; she is still free to do what she likes, even going to the bar late at night.

On the contrary, Joel seems extremely tolerant of Primrose's unruliness and stubbornness; she has never heard Primrose mention Joel complaining about Primrose's life; everything is always left to her to decide.

"I don't know; I haven't thought about it carefully anyway."

Primrose bit her lip; of course, she knew how well Joel treated her and had the same thought as Nancy. But she is afraid that Joel will be so kind to her because the two are husband and wife in name, not because they have any special feelings, because anyway, Joel always behaves like a gentleman and is extremely polite with women.

In other words, she was afraid that she would fantasize about her place in Joel's heart, only to be disappointed when she discovered the truth. Primrose has never been seriously in love with anyone before, having been casually flirting, falling in love, and experiencing a few quick love affairs, so she no longer believes and hopes in love.

"It's okay; there's no need to rush. You just enjoy your current life comfortably; everything will gradually have an answer."

Nancy hastily comforted him. Of course, love stories cannot be rushed; they need a long time to develop and manifest so that both of them gradually understand each other's feelings.

Initially, she and Brave were like that too; it took time to adapt to all the changes in their emotional and physical worlds. And then, what is needed will definitely come.
