It's All Your Fault!

Soon later, the man said coldly, "How much longer do you want to hug me?"

His words were like a bolt of lightning. Julia realized that the man's warm arm was still on her waist, and she was leaning against the man's embrace.

His body carried the fragrance of pine. It was like a pine branch bent by snow, quiet and faint.

Only when they were close would this pleasant smell appear, making Julia feel relaxed.

"If you want..." This posture was not comfortable. The man did not finish his sentence. His tone obviously carried a sense of superior self—confidence.

The romantic feeling in Julia's heart instantly dissipated.

He was so arrogant.

He thought that he was the center of the world! He believed that every woman would fall for him!

But Julia had to admit that this man's face was indeed superior. It was like something that the Creator had painstakingly painted. Julia was still enraged by his tone.

She became furious.

She stood upright and glanced at him indifferently. "Is the Ainsworth Group going bankrupt? Aren't you too lame as a president?"

The implication was: You should behave properly!

Ford glanced at her and said, "Are you worried about me?

"..." She was speechless. She thought, 'Was I crazy? Or was he crazy?

From the first word to the last, which word caused him to have such an illusion?

He was going too far. He always underestimated her!

"President Ainsworth, I have to say, you are so confident! It's a good thing. But, it's your fault to be overconfident."

"Because you are the last person I would care about."

"I did visit you last night. But don't read too much into it. I was there because I was afraid that you won't be able to pay for your alimony if you were sick!"

Ford was calm. A moment later, he said, "There's a maggot on your arm."

"What!" Julia shouted. The thing she feared the most in her life was maggots, worms and caterpillars. She didn't know why and she wasn't even afraid of cockroaches and spiders.

She didn't want to scream, so she then climbed onto the person in front of her. She hugged him tightly.

Once hearing the screams, the three people outside rushed in.

Yes, there was three.

There were Yana, Marvin who was gossipy, and Jerry, who was preparing to take his boss to the company.

Their expressions showed that they didn't mean to save her. They were obviously watching the fun.

It was early in the morning, but Julia felt that it was getting dark.

Completely dark.

Ford was tall. From behind him, his right hand was still in his pocket. But Julia's posture was not good—looking.

This time, she became red from finger to toe.

Damn it!

If it weren't for the rules and regulations of the legal society restricting her, she would have had strangle this scourge in front of her.

But even so, she still silently organized her words in her mind and put on a self—confident smile as she looked at the three people at the door. "I saw a white hair on President Ainsworth's head. I want to put it away for him, but I can't reach it, so I..."

She couldn't finish her lame explanation. Because no one would buy it.

But she had a deep fear of any kinds of larva. She did not want to mention it in front of them.

As a result, the three people outside said, "We know."

They said at the same time.

Their face showed that they understood, and they even closed the door for them.

If they could laugh quietly after closing the door, she would believe them.

Julia stood up and pushed Ford away, "It's all your fault!"

It was the typical 'Burn the bridge after crossing it.'

"Mm, my fault." The man's voice wasn't cold, and it carried an indistinct temperature.

The man coughed. "I'm afraid that you'll get sick after staying here for too long. I am leaving."

Leaving?

Julia followed him out of the bedroom and shouted, "Hey, wait..."

When she thought that she was going to stay in the same room with a terrifying maggot. She reached out to pull him, but she accidentally pulled out his shirt that was neatly tucked into his waist.

The three people outside, including Ford, were looking at her. Everyone was silent.

Silence seemed to have become the theme of this morning.

It was as if she was anxious and reluctant to leave Ford.

Jeffrey then spoke, "Miss, boss is afraid that you will get sick."

Yana also said, "Miss, time is up."

"Right, you need to work now." Marvin added.

"..." How long had they been eavesdropping?

Julia was desperate at this moment.

.....

In the car, Ford leaned against the back of the chair. Even though he had getting better, he was still exhausted.

"The share prices have slightly increased. It can be considered stable. Some foreign executives resigned. Do you want to recruit someone new?" Jeffrey spoke.

Ford suddenly asked, "Have you investigated the two new assistants around Madam?"

"Yes. There's nothing wrong with them."

Ford nodded slightly. When he didn't smile, his every move was filled with pride, and his body was covered with an estrangement that kept people away from him.

Jeffrey kept silent. Such an indifferent gentleman only smiled at his wife the most. It was only by accident that he knew Ford's suffering. After all these years of putting everything in his heart, he must be very tired.

Therefore, Jeffrey knew that he should take care of Julia. He did what Ford had instructed him to do. He did not interfere or disturb her unless it was necessary.

After all, no one liked the feeling of being controlled.

After Jeffrey finished his report, he stopped talking. There was an elegant classical music in the car.

Ford closed his eyes and thought of that chirping little sparrow. He suddenly felt that the car seemed to be too quiet.
