Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 3

Only then did Lumma find out that Adam was married. Seeing the gentle smile on Adam’s face when he mentioned his wife. Lumma guessed that Adam and his wife must be very much in love.

Adam was rich, had a good figure, and loved his wife dearly. Lumma felt a genuine sense of respect for her new boss.

Thinking carefully from the perspective of an ordinary girl, Lumma answered seriously, “Mr. Hills, girls like jewelry, but I think the most valuable thing is your consideration for your wife. For example, giving her a bouquet of flowers, asking her out for dinner, or going to see a movie together.”

Adam had no experience in love as well. He just wanted to be nice to the girl he married, so he said, “Fine, go and prepare for it.”

Upon receiving the order, Lumma immediately contacted the flower shop that often cooperated with Hills Group and personally chose the fiery red roses that symbolized love.

As for choosing a suitable restaurant for a date, a place to watch a movie, and so on, it was not difficult for Lumma, who had no experience in love before.

She was able to get to where she was today, and her efforts were far beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

Lumma remembered the characteristics of all the high-end restaurants in Red Pine City, knowing which places were suitable for dates and which places were suitable for entertaining clients. She even remembered the preferences of all the clients they had worked with.

After delivering the roses and the date address to the president’s office, Lumma finished her work today.

Today’s work seemed easy and went smoothly, but only Lumma knew how nervous she was all day.

Returning home, she finally relaxed after a long day and lazily fell onto the sofa, dozing off.

Adam arrived outside Lumma’s community and prepared to make a call, only to find that he didn’t have his wife’s contact information.

He felt deep remorse and regretted leaving his newlywed wife alone after registering their marriage. They had not contacted each other for a year, and he had not even saved her phone number.

Adam secretly decided that he would treat her even better in the future.

He found a phone number from his grandmother’s chat history and dialed it. A soft, sleepy voice came from the other end of the line as if she had just woken up. “Hello, who is this?”

Was his wife also didn’t save his number?

Adam smiled and said, “It’s Lucas.”

“Mr. Bergman, hello. May I ask what’s the matter?” Her voice was polite and distant as if she didn’t know him at all.

Adam was about to say something when a male voice came through the phone, “Baby, get up and eat if you’re awake…”

Adam suddenly realized something. His eyes darkened under his silver-rimmed glasses, and then he hung up the phone.

Adam looked at the gift and bright red roses beside him and suddenly felt that they were a real eyesore!

Adam looked away, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and instructed the driver, “Drive to Harrison.”

Lumma was half-asleep and had been working day and night. She had completely forgotten her husband, so the name “Lucas” meant nothing to her.

Since it was her private number, it shouldn’t be a client, so she didn’t pay much attention to this call. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lumma put down her mobile phone, walked into the kitchen, squeezed between Ruby Mugging and Harry Eaton, and said softly, “Why didn’t you wake me up when you came back?”

Ruby reached out and touched the tip of her nose. “You look so tired. We can’t bear to disturb you.”

Harry served the dishes and said, “Wash your hands quickly. It’s time to eat.”

The three of them grew up together and were admitted to Osevaso University together. Originally, they planned to go back to their hometown to start a business after graduating from college.

No one expected that Lumma would have an accident during the summer of their sophomore year, which nearly prevented her from continuing her studies.

After the incident, they decided to stay in Red Pine City with Lumma to develop their careers.

After graduation, the three of them started a comic studio together, rented a three-bedroom apartment, and lived together. They were very close.

Lumma looked at the table full of dishes and said, “Did our studio make a lot of money? Why are we eating so good today?”

Harry poured them each a glass of red wine and said, “We prepared this promotion celebration especially for you since you were promoted to the president’s assistant.”

Ruby squeezed to the side of Lumma and asked with a gossipy expression, “The president of the Hills Group has never shown up in front of the media. But there were still so many women waiting in line to marry him. Is he so handsome that he made girls crazy for him?”

As a man, Harry thought that women value appearance too much and said, “Does having money mean someone is handsome? Maybe he doesn’t show his face to the public because he’s ugly.”

Lumma smiled and made a dirty joke, “He is truly handsome, but we have to ask his wife if he could make women crazy.”

Ruby exclaimed, “What? Is he married?”

Lumma nodded and said, “Yes, he’s married, and he loves his wife very much. I always feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before, but I can’t remember where.”

Ruby said, “You always feel like you’ve seen a handsome man before. You might be a potential home- wrecker.”

Lumma laughed and said, “Being a home-wrecker is not bad. At least you don’t have to take responsibility.”

Harry rolled his eyes and said, “Lady, you’re already married!”

Ruby immediately retorted, “So what? Do you want to see Worm spend the rest of her life with that scumbag who disappeared after getting married?”

Worm were the nicknames that Harry and Ruby gave to Lumma. The reason was that when Ruby was a child, she accidentally drank wine as water and lay on the floor, wriggling like a caterpillar.

Lumma shrugged indifferently and said, “With you two by my side, I don’t need that scumbag.”

When she registered her marriage, Lumma had thought about living a happy life with that man. But after he disappeared without a word and Catherine, whom she had met a few times before the registration, didn’t contact her again, she just gave up.

However, her grandmother often talked about her grandson-in-law and planned to come to Red Pine City to see them during Christmas this year.

Ruby and Harry said at the same time, “Of course, that scumbag is not as important as us.

This meal was finished while the three of them were chatting and laughing. After eating, the three of them cleaned up the table together and drew cartoons together..

The days are beautiful and fulfilling.

The next day, Lumma arrived at the company early.

Her new boss had a very abnormal working time and rest time. Since Lumma wanted to get a double salary, she would naturally have to spend more time and energy than before.

As soon as Lumma got out of the taxi, she saw a luxurious black Bentley slowly stopping in front of the company’s gate.

She hurried over to open the car door for Mr. Hills and said, “Good morning, Mr. Hills!”

Adam nodded but looked unhappy.

Lumma didn’t dare to think too much and followed him into the president’s private elevator, dutifully reporting to him his schedule for the day.

In the morning, Adam had arranged to play golf with the president of Reid Group.

Adam’s complexion had returned to normal. He was chatting and laughing with the president of the Reid Group, and his every move exuded elegance and grace.

However, Leonard and Lumma, who were waiting on the side, still felt a huge pressure.

Leonard had worked for Adam for many years, and he had rarely seen the president show his emotions, so today was a rare occasion. He asked, “Lumma, do you think there’s something wrong with Mr. Hills?”

Shaking her head, Lumma replied, “I don’t know any more than you do.”

Leonard tilted his head and thought for a long time. Recently, there hadn’t been any problems at work, so what could have been bothering the president?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. “Could it be… His wife rejected Mr. Hills on the bed last night?”
