My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 304: The Most Important Person

"Look at you.You look so happy.What were you two talking about?" Nellie asked with a smile.

"Oh.We were just talking about Jeff's work," Mia politely replied.

Jeff was what Jeffrey's fans called him.

Nellie did not know about that as she was not interested in the entertainment industry.So when sheheard Mia call her son "Jeff"and he did not object, she thought that that the two were getting alongwell.She was relieved.

"You must be hungry.Here.Have some desserts.I just made them.I don't know what you like to eat, so1! made a lotHere.Have some orange juice.I heard that it's good for the skin.I've warmed it for you asthe weather's getting cold.Drink it while it's still warm."

Mia was thankful for Nellie's hospitality.With a grateful smile, she took the glass of orange juice thatNellie had offered to her.

"Thank you, Mrs.Oliver."

"You're welcome."Nellie was overjoyed.

Their company was currently on the rocks.

Even though the company had already released an apology and compensated those who had beenaffected, the damage had been done.

In just a few days, more than a dozen hotels had to be closed.

Countless employees were laid off.

What was worse, the company's capital chain was destroyed, and they had no money left to turn over.

Unfortunately, no bank was willing to lend them some money.

Mia would be of great help to them.

Andrade family owned a bank.

If there was one thing the Andrade family did not lack, it was money.

After her grandfather had retired, her father took over their family business.

lt seemed that a bright future was ahead of her as she was the only child of her parents.

She was definitely the apple of her family's eye.

‘lf she ends up with Bruce, I don't have to worry about money anymore!’ As this thought crossed hermind, Nellie became even more supportive of Mia.

She held the young lady's hand and remarked, "Mia, I think you and Bruce are destined to meet.Otherssay that a daughter is the greatest thing a mother can have.I've always dreamt of having one, but I'vebeen unlucky.I ended up having two annoying sons."

"Mrs.Oliver, Jeff is a good man."

"Not really.He's always busy and has no time to accompany me." Nellie pouted.

"Mia, to tell you the truth, I like you.If you don't mind spending time with an old woman like me, you canvisit mewhenever you're free.We can talk and go shopping."

"Mrs.Oliver, you're still young.How could you say you're an old woman? If we go shopping together,people will think we're sisters," Mia said in a sweet tone.

Nellie was amused with Mia's flattery.

"You naughty girl, you're just making fun of me, aren't you? To be frank, I want to go to the mall to buysomething, but nobody's willing to accompany me.How about we go shopping sometime?"Miascratched her head and replied bashfully, "Okay..."

"It's a deal then.Oh, I'm so excited!"

Nellie did not even give Mia a chance to refuse.

At that moment, Mia cast a glance at Jeffrey with an apologetic look on her face.

‘Oh no.Will Jeff misunderstand me? Will he think that I am bugging him? Will he hate me?’ Nervous,Mia's heart pounded wildly in her chest.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey was at a loss for words.He looked at his mother, and a frown appeared on hisface.In all honesty, he was not blaming Mia at all.She was just a twenty-year-old college student, afterall.

How could she fight against his cunning mother? For Nellie, trapping Mia was only a piece of cake.

Jeffrey and Mia had a pleasant chat a while ago.

But when Nellie came over, the two fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward.

Mia was a bright and cheerful girl.She was elated that she had gotten Jeffrey's autograph and taken aselfie with him.

After finishing the warm orange juice, she stood up and politely said, "Mrs.Oliver, it's getting late.I haveto go now."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay here for dinner?"

"I appreciate your kindness, Mrs.Oliver, but I have a class this afternoon.I'm afraid I can't have dinnerwith you tonight."

A pitiful look appeared on Nellie's face.

Mia smiled apologetically in response.

She might be simple and innocent, but she was not stupid.

If she stayed here for dinner, the news of her successful blind date with Jeffery would spread likewildfire tomorrow.

"Then...Bruce, could you send Mia back?"

"No, there's no need..." Mia refused.

"I insist.It's not safe for you to go out alone."

Just as Mia was about to protest again, Jeffrey stood up with the car keys in his hand.

"Let's go.I'll drive you home." Mia's cheeks turned red, and she did not refuse anymore.

"Thank you."

Before they left, Nellie said a few more words to Jeffrey, who listened to her indifferently.

With another word, he left with Mia.Nellie saw the two off.

Mia was so nervous when she got into Jeffrey's car.

It was only when they were finally out of the villa that she felt relieved.

"You can drop me off now." Jeffrey pulled over upon hearing this.

Mia opened the door and got out.

With a smile, she waved at him and said, "Jeff, thank you for dropping me off.You can leave now."

As an idol, Jeffrey did not like blind dates.But for some reason, he was fond of Mia.

They were in the suburbs at the moment.Mia was particularly conspicuous as she was pretty andwearing designer clothes.

Jeffrey could not help but be a little worried about her safety.

"How will you go home?"

"My driver drove me here today.While I was at your house, he was waiting for me somewherenearby.Don't worry.I've already called him.He'll be here in a minute."

"l’ll wait with you then."

Because of what Jeffrey had said, he left an even better impression on Mia.He was handsome,talented, and an amazing actor.But that was not all.He was also a gentleman.

Mia put her hand on her chest.Her heart had been fluttering since the moment she laid her eves onJeffrev.

Just as Jeffrey promised, he waited with Mia until her driver arrived a few minutes later.

Mia got into her car and bade farewell to Jeffrey yet again, her cheeks flushing in shyness.

"I had a great time.I'm glad I met you today, Jeff."novelbin

Jeffrey waved his hand.

"Be safe."

"Bye!"

"Bye."

Little did they know, they would become the most important person in each other's life in the future.

Meanwhile, Ryan was still on the set.He had been there for hours.He did not leave even when theclock struck nine.

Kane had returned to the company after receiving an urgent call.

The new school term had just begun.

When the school hours were over, Luke called the driver and asked him to pick Precious up from theschool and send her to her grandparents’ for the night.

Ryan and Luke were still waiting for Wendy in the filming set.

They even ate dinner there.

Their presence pressured Carter and the producer.

‘Argh.This is so annoying!’ The actors found it difficult to act when those two big shots were watchingthem.

As a result, they were unable to finish the filming according to plan.

They had no choice but to work overtime, even though it was way past their schedule.

To make things worse, there were many mosquitos in the cold autumn evening.

These pesky insects were tormenting everyone, especially when they had to film outdoors.

Their buzzing was annoying, so the actors had to apply a mosquito repellent to dispel these mosquitosand avoid being bitten.

Unfortunately, Luke's face had been bitten by mosquitos many times.

Clap! He slapped his face hard, killing the mosquito on his cheek.

His face was so itchy because of the mosquito bites that he felt an urge to cry.

"Ryan, should we go now?"

Ryan kept on glancing at his watch.

It was now nine past ten in the evening.

"Ryan..." Luke begged.

Ryan glanced at Wendy, who was standing not far away from him, and noticed that she had beenyawning several times in the past hour.

His face darkened at the sight of this.

"Luke, call the producer over!" he ordered.
