Chapter 145
Selena got goose bumps from hearing what Pierre said. “I’m leaving!” Rushing out of the study, sheonly felt relief wash over her when she was finally out of Pierre’s house. On the other hand, Pierrereentered his room after making sure she went home. He never was so patient with anotherwoman, so the fact that he was surprised himself even.
When Selena got back to her room, Pierre still had his eyes on her. Although she drew the curtains,knowing that a pair of extremely charming eyes was staring in her direction from the other sidemade her feel uneasy. She got a message from him when she lay down on bed. ‘Get some sleep.Goodnight.’
For a split second, she thought she had become his girlfriend, but soon realized that she was in facthis girlfriend, especially after they got into a quarrel typical to couples. “You’re not getting any of myattention!” Selena cast her phone aside.
After waiting for a while without getting a reply from her, Pierre gave her a call, only to find out thatshe’d switched off her phone. He could only heave a sigh before smiling in resignation. By the nextmorning, he sent her a few more messages, but she didn’t reply to any of them. After a meeting inthe morning, he gave her a call, but she hung up on him. “Is she still angry?” he muttered out loud.
Niall, who had been reporting back to him on his work progress, stopped talking when he heardPierre’s voice. “President Pierre, what were you saying?”
“What should a boyfriend do when his girlfriend gets mad at him?” Pierre raised his head andlooked at him.
“I beg your pardon?” Baffled by the question, Niall checked outside the window, wondering if Earthwas spinning in the opposite direction, causing some sort of distortion in Pierre’s character.
“Are you deaf?”
“Of course not! I mean, President Pierre, y-y-you... in a r-r-relation—”
“Why are you stuttering? Yes, I am in a relationship!”
Upon being chided, Niall straightened his posture, seemingly at a loss for words. How could he bein a relationship when he literally just had a failed wedding?
“You know my girlfriend. Her name is Selena Yard, the president of JNS Corporation.”
Niall’s jaw dropped upon being informed of his girlfriend’s identity.
“Shut your mouth and answer my question!”
Coming back to his senses, he replied, “If your girlfriend is mad at you... As her boyfriend, you needto know she never meant what she said, with every word she said meaning the exact opposite.Therefore, saying that she wasn’t angry meant that she was, so you need to cheer her up!”
