My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 293: Viciousness 

"Hey!" Wendy looked at Jeffrey in total surprise.

"What are you doing here?""I have a shoot tomorrow and this place is located close to the set."

"Okay!"

Wendy then remembered that in the play, Jeffrey's character had a few lines with Lady Ivanka.

Now that the heroine had been replaced, the scene would have to be reshot.

"It’s quite late now.Are you going out?"

"No.I just had dinner.I'd just go for a little stroll to digest my food."

Jeffrey faked a cough and his eyes dodged a direct look at her.

"It's turned midnight and you just had dinner?"

"Fine, I had a midnight snack!" Jeffrey spat.

Wendy frowned.

'Why does he appear so irritable?’ Jeffrey stared at Wendy intently.

In fact, when Carter contacted Jeffery's agent about reshooting the scene with Ivanka, Jeffrey placed a certain condition before he agreed to resume shooting— he must live in close proximity to Wendy.

Carter rationalized that since Jeffrey had the most shots with Wendy, it made sense that the two of them got along well.

Without giving it any further thought, he asked the staff to arrange a suite for Jeffrey next to Wendy's.

Jeffrey was a famous actor so they put him up in a plush suite, and they gave Wendy an equally luxurious suite, too.

Jeffrey had come after dinner.He had whiled away his time waiting for Wendy.

At long last, he had heard the sound of someone opening the door to the next suite.He had looked out of the peephole to find that it was Wendy.

Then, he had casually opened the door and walked out, pretending to meet her by chance.

"Okay.I'll go back to my suite.Bye," said Wendy.

"Wait!" Jeffrey shouted.

Wendy rolled her eyes and blatantly ignored him.

Just as she was about to enter her suite, Jeffrey stopped her.

"Didn't you hear me just now? I asked you to wait!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Damn! What is wrong with you, Jeffrey? Just go away! Why are you so irritated today? Find someone else to vent your anger on!"

"No!" Wendy clenched her fists in anger and squinted.

"Are you leaving or not?" Jeffrey swallowed hard and his aura weakened instantly.

"You are a girl.Don't behave so rudely!"

"I don't care!" Wendy snapped.

The last time Jeffrey offered to treat her to dinner, he left her with Ryan.She still had that score to settle with him.

What pleasure did he get out of treating her like this? If anyone should be angry, it should be her!

"Go away!" she yelled.

"I have something that I want to tell you."

After checking the time on her phone, Wendy shoved the screen in front of Jeffrey and complained, "Dude! It's well after midnight.I have to get up early to work tomorrow morning.I need my beauty sleep!"

Jeffrey stood before her door, unwilling to leave.

One minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

Five minutes later, he was still standing at the door.

Finally, Wendy gave in.

She rubbed her forehead and said, "Fine.Just say what you have to, and then let me go."

"Say it here out in the open?" Wendy pushed the door open and said, "Come inside."

Afraid that she might go back on her word, Jeffrey ran in.In the suite, Wendy's suitcase lay wide open and was placed beside the bed.

As soon as she entered the suite, she took off her coat, flung it on the sofa, and sat on it.

Comfortably seated on the sofa, Wendy sighed.

"Wendy..."

"Say it!" Wendy squinted, kicked off her shoes and made herself comfortable on the sofa.

Jeffrey just stood at the edge of the sofa for a long time without saying anything.She eventually raised her gaze to meet a confused expression in his eyes.

Wendy yawned with boredom.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you in love with my uncle?"

Wendy trembled and her sleepiness was instantly driven away.Jeffrey stared at her without looking away, lest he miss any giveaway expression on her face.She looked away and coughed nervously.

"Why do you ask?"

‘She didn't deny it! She didn't deny it at all! This means Wendy is really in love with Uncle Ryan"Jeffrey was livid.He gnashed his teeth and glared at her.

"Wendy, you are a liar!"

‘What the hell? Why am La liar all of a sudden? “ Wendy thought angrily.

"Jeffrey, are you here to pick a fight with me in the middle of the night?"

"Didn't you say that you were not ready to be in a relationship? You refused me and said that we could only be friends.But here you are flirting with my uncle!"

Jeffrey shouted out angrily.He demanded answers to his questions.

‘Why does it seem as if I cheated on him?’ Wendy pressed her temples to soothe the headache she was feeling.

"First, I'm not in love with your uncle.Besides, even if I was in a relationship, it would be none of your business.Jeffrey, you are just my ex-boyfriend.You should not concern yourself with my private life!" Jeffrey was gob smacked.

‘Not in love with him?’ He knew that Wendy would not lie to him about something like that.

‘But Uncle Ryan said...Damon it! He lied to me! Jeffrey gritted his teeth.

‘Uncle Ryan, you are such a cunning and despicable man! Jeffrey fell into a daze and was only rocked back to his senses when Wendy pushed him hard and he stumbled.

"Get out! I don't even know why I agreed to talk to you." Jeffrey suddenly started chuckling.

Wendy was confused.

‘This maniac! What is he so happy about? They say women are unpredictable.But men are a greater challenge to fathom out.I never know what is going on in their minds"

Jeffrey plonked himself on the sofa.

"Get out!" Wendy ordered.

"No way!" Wendy gnashed her teeth.

Although Jeffrey was happy to know that she was dating Ryan, the happy mood didn't persist for long.Even if they were not in a relationship, it was obvious that Wendy loved Ryan.He had noticed it before he went abroad, but he didn't expect that the feeling would become mutual in such a short space of time.

More importantly, Ryan had showed him the DNA test report.Surely Ryan wouldn't lie to him about that! This meant that Wendy was Precious’ biological mother.

Jeffrey's eyes darkened again as he drew this conclusion.

It was impossible for the two of them to be together now that he had learned this.He kept silent and felt inconsolably sad.

But as soon as he got over his sorrow, he was in high spirits again.

He didn't care! Even if they couldn't be together, he wouldn't let Ryan get Wendy either.He sat in deep contemplation for a while.

He decided to disrupt their relationship.He took a sip of tea and asked, "Wendy, what do you see in my uncle anyway?"

Wendy yawned and ignored him.

"I know you go after handsome men.Although Uncle Ryan is good looking, he is inwardly a very vicious person.Don't be deceived by his appearance.There is a worm inside the rosy apple."

‘Vicious?’ Wendy was more amused than frightened.

This word was pretty appropriate to describe Ryan.

"Why are you smiling? Do you know what kind of relationship he shares with Odette?" Jeffrey asked.
