Lottie raised his eyebrows. “What am I satisfied with?”
She would only be satisfied if she got the divorce certificate.
Looking at her nonchalant expression, Esther became even
more exasperated. “What right do you have? Why do you
always look like you don’t care about anything? You clearly
planned everything painstakingly, didn’t you?!”
Lottie frowned. “Am I planning it, or are you?”
This sentence hit Esther’s backbone.She took a deep breath and
glared at Lottie. “Don’t think you won. No matter what, Nigel
will only protect me unconditionally.”
“You’re Erin. So what?”
After she figured this out, even her tone was smug.
Lottie’s expression was calm. “Oh, congratulations.”
“It’s a well–known success, Esther.”
However, she was not in the mood to continue pestering him.
She slammed the car door shut.She could not deny what Esther
said.
Even if Nigel knew that it was Esther who injured his biological
son to this extent, he was only cleaning up the mess for Esther.
How infatuated.
Lottie had just arrived at the laboratory when Suzanne sent a
lot of afternoon tea over.
Everyone had a share in the entire project.
Britt asked them to go to the hall to get afternoon tea. Lottie
understood the principle of socializing and went
too.Unexpectedly, Suzanne pulled her back. “Lottie, were you
okay last night? Mr. Pollard sometimes speaks like that. Don’t
take it to heart.”
“I’m…okay.”
Lottie was a little surprised and could not figure out her
intentions. “Thank you for your afternoon tea.”
It was obvious that Lewis did not get along with him.
Why was Suzanne still so enthusiastic about her?
“Why are you being so polite?“Suzanne smiled. Then, he looked at the three men in Group traditional medicine and started
beating them up. “Don’t treat Lottie lightly just because she’s a
girl.”
“You have to cooperate well at work.”
“Suzanne.”
Lottie pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “Actually, you don’t
have to take care of me like a sister. My relationship with Mr.
Pollard isn’t what you think.”
“Then how is it?”
Suzanne smiled and asked, “Also, I think he really cares about
you, his sister.“At least, she had never seen Lewis’s stunned
expression that night.
Before Lottie could say anything, she handed him another piece
of cake. Her eyes were kind as she said, “No matter what
happens to Mr. Pollard, we hit it off pretty well.”
Lottie did not refuse. “Thank you.”
It was obvious that Suzanne was very popular in Pollard Group.
She had to give him face.
When it was almost time to get off work, a receptionist
suddenly came in to call her. She said in a teasing tone, “Ms.
ungs, your husband is here to pick you up from
work.”““Husband?”
“Yeah, he said his name was Nigel.”
Lottie was stunned. He could not figure out what was wrong with Nigel. “Tell him to wait. I’ll get off work after I’m done.””
She finished her work and got up to leave.
Nigel was dressed in a gray three–piece suit. He sat on the sofal
and waited for her unhurriedly while answering a work call.
As if sensing her gaze, the man looked over with a gentle gaze.
He said something to the other end and hung up the phone. He
stood up and walked towards her.“Are you done?”
It was his usual gentleness and composure.
Just like that day, the hostility between them was just an
illusion.
Lottie avoided his gaze. “Why are you here?”
“As a husband, do I need a reason to pick my wife up from
work?”
Nigel took the bag from her and said unhurriedly, “Besides, I’ve
wronged you. I should apologize to you properly.“Lottie paused
and looked up at him. “Actually, it doesn’t matter if you
apologize or not.”
Anyway, there was nothing between them anymore.
“Are you still angry?”
The two of them walked to the elevator. Nigel pressed the
elevator button and put his arm around her shoulder. He leaned
over and coaxed her gently, “I was indeed wrong about this. I
shouldn’t have forced you to apologize without clarifying the
truth. Don’t argue with me, okay?”
Ding!
Before he could finish speaking, the elevator door suddenly
opened.Lottie subconsciously distanced himself from Nigel.
Unexpectedly, he met Lewis’s bottomless black eyes. A trace of
mockery flashed across his face. In the next second, he said with
a faint smile,
“Ms. Cummings, this is a three–year–old attending kindergarten.
Do you still need someone to pick you up?”
Lottie had never thought that he could say anything good.
Instead, Nigel smiled and looked at Suzanne beside Lewis. He
said like a gentleman, “Whenever Mr. Pollard has a sweetheart,
you’ll understand.”
As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the
elevator.No matter how independent and capable Suzanne was,
he still felt a little embarrassed when someone teased him.
work after work?”
Lottie was a person who rarely felt awkward.But at this
moment, she wished she could just jump down from the
elevator.
Everyone probably thought that she wanted to marry Nigel
back then because she loved him so much.
Hence, not only did Nigel not notice her embarrassment, he
even smiled proudly. “Stop teasing her. She’s shy!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator stopped steadily on
basement one.
They all got out of the elevator, and the elevator door beside
them opened. A department director ran out, panting, and
rushed to Lewis. “Mr. Pollard, there’s an urgent document that
needs your signature.”
Lewis took the document seriously, took out a fountain pen
from his suit pocket, and signed his name smoothly.Lottie knew
his handwriting. It was strong and powerful.
He had practiced calligraphy with Lottie, and his shadow was
more or less left in Lottie’s handwriting.
