Chapter 99 Jack walked into the company cafeteria with a sunken face. Naomi thought he was too tired from work, so she immediately set out to get him some food.
“You have to make sure each of your three meals is nutritionally balanced. You absolutely mustn‘t underestimate eating. Every doctor in the world would tell you that health first starts with your food...”
In truth, Naomi had already started subtly looking at Jack‘s complexion in the car. She had somewhat of an understanding of the man‘s physique. 1 In the morning, she had quietly given Grandpa a nutritional plan so the housekeepers could prepare the food based on that.
Her treatment of Jack had already started.
“You have to finish everyt
Naomi placed the plate in front of Jack before hurriedly getting her own food. The two of them looked like an actual married couple. However, they were not actually married.
Naomi was starving, and her entire focus was on eating, so she missed the meaningful look from Jack.
After she finished eating, Naomi leaned back against the chair. She looked at Jack, who ate slowly, and suddenly thought of checking his pulse. “Daddy, I learned how to read fortunes today. Do you want me to help you read your fortune?” She had a flash of inspiration and stared at Jack‘s wrist as she reached out to touch it.
However, the moment her finger touched Jack‘s skin, it was suddenly pushed away by the man. Her hand hit the back of the chair, and it immediately reddened!
“Enough!” The man‘s tone was cold, and the atmosphere froze.
“Ouch…”
Naomi pressed on her hand as she hissed in pain. Her heart suddenly sank!
Oh no! Did he notice her plan?!
“Naomi, what did Grandpa say to you in the garden last night?” Jack stared at her emotionlessly, and his words were incredibly cold.
“What?”
Naomi‘s heart was even more nervous. Jack had never been so stern to her before.
“It was nothing. I just had a casual chat with Grandpa.”
Naomi laughed and avoided the question, yet, the man suddenly let out a cold snort. His sharp gaze looked like he wanted to swallow her alive.
“Ha, you’re lying.” Naomi was shocked. Her heart completely sank at that moment, and all she could think of was that she was done for! “You know?” Naomi lowered her head dejectedly. She had been far too straightforward and did not hide things enough. She had failed the massive task from Old Mister Hough. The way she looked seemed like a guilty confession in Jack’s eyes. Disappointment and hatred flashed in the man‘s eyes. In just a few days, the kid‘s thoughts had started to go astray. He needed to correct her! “Let me warn you. No matter what Grandpa promised you, none of it counts! You‘re just acting as my wife, so don‘t get too into it!”
Naomi suddenly looked up at the man‘s distant expression. “What do you mean?”

“There‘s no need to try to butter me up. I won‘t fall for you. Hough Corp is a place that knows right from wrong. It‘s not somewhere you can just throw your status around!” Jack‘s cold voice made Naomi seem like a stranger. “Do you think I‘m trying to seduce you?! Do you think I‘m using my status as your wife to
get what I want?!” Naomi pressed down on her hand that was already numb from the pain. She felt like her kindness and sincerity had all just been tossed aside.
What a joke!
“I don‘t care what sort of deal you have with Grandpa. You just need to follow the contract, don‘t do anything else!“.
Jack‘s glanced at the girl‘s hand, and a flash of emotion appeared in his eyes before he sounded even more distant.
“Ha...”
Naomi laughed coldly before she got up. She was furious! “I‘m sorry, I only like young guys. You‘re far too old for me! Also, please check if it was me throwing my status around or if it was your own secretary being deceitful. You don‘t understand Grandpa Hough‘s intentions at all! I must‘ve been blind when I signed the contract with you!”
