Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 116

Victoria was by the doorway, looking at the two people standing close to each other, her wide eyesabout to pop from their sockets.

It was no surprise that she had misunderstood the situation. From her angle, Bailey seemed to beleaning into Artemis' arms meekly.

At the same time, Artemis seemed to be whispering sweet nothings into Bailey's ears.

It looked like a sweet and romantic sight.

Right as Victoria cried out, Bailey reached the limits of her anxiety.

She spun around and elbowed the man behind her.

Perhaps she had been standing for a long time, or perhaps she had been too tensed the entire time.The moment she turned around, a tingling, numb feeling shot up her legs and made her fall forward.

F*ck! What the hell? I shouldn't have turned around. I'd rather fall against the glass window than intohis arms!

Artemis grinned and spread his arms to hug the woman who was falling toward him.

When Victoria yelped in surprise earlier, he had felt that the woman was a nuisance for appearing atthe wrong time. However, he was inwardly thanking her now.

If not for her sudden cry, he wouldn't have been able to hold a beautiful woman in his arms.

Victoria's eyes widened again. She walked over to the two, and in a quavering voice, she asked, “W-When did the two of you get together? You're even making out in the office!”

Making out your *ss!

Bailey desperately wished she could strangle the other woman.

Can't you see I didn't mean to fall into his arms?

Artemis smiled. A sly glint flashed past his eyes, and he explained, “She stood by the windows too longearlier, so I think her legs fell asleep. That's why she fell into my arms. As her boss, I can't possibly justthrow her off. I didn't know it'd lead to a misunderstanding, Ms. Saunders.”

F*ck! Is that his explanation? Can that even be called an explanation? He's just adding fuel to theflames!

Bailey barked out a laugh at the peak of her anger.

Giving up, she simply put all of her weight on him.

Simultaneously, she pinched his flesh with her hands that had been resting by his waist.

In the next second, a sharp inhale was heard above her. Then, something warm spread across herwaist.

This b*stard! How dare he use an arm to circle around my waist? His hand is even on my stomach!He's taking advantage of me!

To Victoria, their actions only made things worse.

Speechless for a moment, she then said, “All right, I can't stand the two of you anymore. I shouldn'thave been here. You two are hugging each other more tightly now after I showed up! This is immoral!How can you flaunt your love in front of me?”

Bailey was fuming.

F*ck! Why am I friends with a woman as absurd as her?

“Please leave. I have something else to say to Mr. Luther.”

Victoria blinked, a look of anticipation on her face. “What are you going to tell him? Let me listen too!” novelbin

Exasperated, Bailey decided not to speak anymore.

Artemis' lips quirked up. When he sensed that her legs were no longer numb, he quickly pushed heraway.

The woman was a petroleum tank, and he had to take his time to win her over. If he was too hasty, shewould explode, and he was not confident that he could withstand it.

At least, not now.

Once Bailey regained her freedom, she quickly moved to the side before glaring daggers at Victoria.Then, she smiled and hooked her arm around Victoria's arm and said, “Vicky, you've come to get mefor lunch, right? Let's go.”

Victoria tilted her head to the side to glance at Artemis. She lowered her voice and told Bailey, “Bay, Ithink I came at the wrong time and have disturbed your happy moment. Sorry.”

Bailey pursed her lips in silence.

Holding back his laughter, Artemis said, “I'll be buying lunch today, so pick a restaurant.”

“Rea—” Victoria was about to exclaim in joy when a pang of pain came from her waist that stopped herfrom continuing her sentence. “About that... It's Bay's first day here. She isn't familiar with LutherGroup's cafeteria yet. I'll bring her around to let her get familiarized with the environment. Why don't wehave lunch together another day? We'll agree to this another time.”

Artemis raised a brow but did not insist. With a smile, he said, “Okay. I'll have to trouble you, Ms.Saunders, to bring the lead designer around the company. Your bonus will be doubled this month.”

With that, he strode out of the office.

The moment Artemis was gone, the tension in the atmosphere became lesser.

Without missing a beat, Bailey smacked the back of Victoria's head. “Did you leave your eyes at hometoday? Can't you see he was harassing me?”

Victoria harrumphed. “If I did, I wouldn't have come in; I would've let him do as he pleased.”

Bailey froze when she heard that.

“You came in here on purpose to cause trouble?”

Victoria rolled her eyes, a little speechless by Bailey's response. “If the two of you really are a thing,and if I had come at the wrong time, I would've left the room in silence. I wouldn't have been soinsensitive as to disturb the both of you.”

Bailey mulled over her words and realized that Victoria made sense.

If Victoria had not come in, she would have had to endure that man's intentional teasing.

“Not bad. I'm glad you came in, or else... I never thought Artemis would be so unruly. He knew I gavebirth to two of Simon's children, and technically, he should be avoiding me. I really don't understandwhy he insists on clinging to me and even wants to make us get caught in a scandal.”

Victoria shrugged and said nonchalantly, “He probably fell for you, my dear. Don't you know howexcellent you are? The villain Artemis has always had a unique eye for people. Perhaps he saw theradiating brilliance under your ordinary exterior.”

Bailey drew her brows together. “If that's the case, I can't stay in Luther Group anymore. How will thepeople look at Zayron and Susan if rumors about us being involved start spreading?”

“I agree. I don't think you should stay in Luther Group's headquarters anymore, but Mr. Luther seemsdetermined to keep you by his side. Do you think you'll be able to escape?”

Bailey smirked. “Say, would the board of directors fire me if I were to make a strategic mistake thatresulted in a major loss for Luther Group?”

In the living room of the Jefferson residence, Rhonda was grabbing Beatrice's arms. It seemed that shehad cried earlier, for there were still tears in her eyes.

“Mom, what should we do? That b*tch Bailey is like a cockroach; she simply won't die! Now thateveryone knows her son is Simon's child, it'll be even harder for us to get her from now on!”

“What are you afraid of?” Beatrice pushed her away. “It's even better now. This will stop Artemis fromwanting her, and he'll have no choice but to marry you. As for Simon... Don't worry. Bailey brokeFelicity's arm in front of so many people. There's no way Felicity's going to let Bailey marry into thefamily.”

Hearing that, Rhonda sobbed, “You're right. What are we going to do next? Are we going to just letBailey off like that?”

“Let her off?” Beatrice sneered. “The two of us will have to worry all the time as long as she stays inHallsbay. Be at ease. I've already come up with a plan to deal with her.”

A joyous look manifested on Rhonda's face. “What plan?”
