Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 154 You Are My Wife

"I..." Maranda pondered and didn't answer Jean's question for a long time.

Seeing Maranda acting like that, Jean suddenly sighed. She stood up from her seat and walked

towards Maranda. "Maranda, I'm not trying interfere with your decision. But, I hope that you won't

regret your decision in the future, " said Jean while putting her hands on Maranda's shoulder.

"I see." After that, Maranda slowly wore a remorseful smile on his face. With her eyes full of gratitude,

she looked at Jean and said, "Thank you, Jean! You are right, I shouldn't be stubborn and should just

leave people behind. Jean, you will help me, right?"

Maranda gently asked Jean with her high-spirited face.

"As long as I'm able, I will certainly help you." Jean sighed and happily promised Maranda.

"You really are my best friend, Jean." Maranda was delighted. She quickly jumped into Jean's arms and

tightly hugged her.

"Well, you are not a child anymore, so don't behave like this. Other people would surely laugh at us if

they see us here." Jean smiled helplessly.

"I don't care. Please allow me to be childish this time." Maranda held Jean tightly and refused to let her

go.

"What… What are you two doing?" Maranda and Jean suddenly heard a familiar voice. Maranda, who

refused to let go of Jean a few seconds ago, seemed to have been stung by bees. She abruptly

released Jean and took a few steps backward.

"No… nothing…" Maranda was too nervous to look at John who was standing opposite to them.

She acted like a coward mouse in front of John. After she saw what just happened, Jean was lost in

her thought and just smiled.

'Will every woman turn so timid whenever she faces the man she likes?'

Jean couldn't help recalling every detail that happened the other day. She felt a bit remorseful about

how she behaved yesterday.

'If I didn't argue with Zed that day, and if I just tried to speak with him gently and compromised with him,

would the result be different?

It is true that the onlookers can see most clearly while those closely involved cannot see clearly.

I have to control my temper next time.

Even if he loves me, I should always try to be submissive.

After all, men are like kids, they always want to be followed and persuaded.'

John looked at Maranda, and turned his look at Jean who seemed to be thinking about something.

"You two, come with me, " said John.

After saying that, John led them towards the conference room.

Jean and Maranda looked at each other and immediately followed John.

"Jean…" Maranda consciously walked behind them while pulling Jean's hand.

Jean slowed her steps down and asked Maranda, "What's the matter?"

"I gave my resignation letter to John yesterday. I think he leads us to the conference room because of

that. What should I do now?" Maranda anxiously asked.

"Hmm. I don't think so. Don't worry. If he really wants to talk about your resignation letter, he won't ask

me to go with you." Jean shook her head and assured Maranda that her thought was impossible.

"You have a point!" Maranda immediately nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Now, you have to ask John to give your resignation letter back. Remember, keep this thing from our

boss." Jean reminded her.

"Okay. I understand." Maranda quickly nodded and appreciatively looked at Jean.

Jean patted Maranda's hands to comfort her. After entering the conference room, they sat down as

John signaled them to.

"Maranda, since you came in the company today, does it mean that you want to take your resignation

letter back?" John looked at Maranda and seriously asked her.

Maranda's face immediately flushed. She lowered her head and took the resignation letter from John's

hand with embarrassment.

Jean secretly raised her thumbs to commend John for what he did. He was really worthy to be Sonny's

best assistant because he can quickly manage and conclude anything.

Maranda went back to her seat while her face was flushing. To her nervousness, she didn't dare to look

at John.

"Okay, listen." John clapped his hands to attract their attention and continue, "tomorrow, we have to go

to the neighboring city and find a spot. We will take a set of promotional photos. You two, go back

home and pack your things up right after work. Remember to bring more clothes. It may take us few

more days if we unexpectedly encounter incidents."

"Will… Will I go with you?" Maranda was shocked and undoubtedly asked.

She was still a trainee. That's why she couldn't believe that she had an opportunity to take photos on

site. It was a rare thing, but it happened to her. Maranda felt like she was a hungry person who was

luckily given a delicious pie by God!

John looked at Maranda and bluntly asked her. "Is there any problem with that?"

"No problem." Jean said.

As a photographer, she knew that she should always get ready to bring her camera and set off at any

time.

"No problem." Maranda's voice turned unusually loud. She sounded so excited. Her beautiful face

flushed out of excitement which made her look more attractive.

John glanced at her and walked outside without saying anything more.

"Jean, did you hear that? I can take photos on site now." She was so excited that she held Jean's

hands and behaved like a child.

"Yes. I heard it. Congratulations, Maranda! Just work hard and you'll have a bright future soon." Jean

was proud for Maranda. She smiled and congratulated her.

"Thank you, Jean. Without your comfort, I could've ruined myself." Maranda sincerely thanked Jean.

"You don't need to say that. What are friends for? Let's go out now and finish our job!" Jean said. When

she looked at the resignation letter that was in Maranda's hand, Jean suggestively said, "You can tear

that apart now."

"Of course." Maranda smiled happily and immediately ripped her resignation letter into pieces.

After work, Jean walked out of the company. The familiar luxury car at the most noticeable place came

into her sight immediately. All passers-by looked at the car enviously.

Jean softly sighed and quickly walked towards the car.

When she opened the door, Jean saw that Zed was looking at the iPad on his hand. Jean felt a bit

guilty that time.

Though it was Zed's choice to go there and personally pick her up, she still felt worried about his NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

health. She saw that he seemed to be very busy.

After he heard the noise from the car's door, Zed looked up and saw Jean's complicated facial

expression. He immediately smiled and said, "Jean, don't be guilty. I can always do my job anytime, but

I can only do my job to my wife once in a while."

"Yeah, I understand. But Qi Group is so big that it would make you very busy every day. Yet, you still…"

Before Jean could finished her words, Zed stopped her by putting his finger on her lips.

"Shh…" Zed stared at her with deep affection and gently said, "Jean, you are my wife. You need to

remember that."

When Jean looked at his gentle facial expression, her heart immediately warmed. She couldn't help but

nod.

She leaned her head against his shoulder and gently said, "Zed, you don't need to pick me up

tomorrow."
