Chapter 1400 Be My Driver for the Day
Nigel’s phone rang again. This time, it was from Julian.
Subsequently, he put it on speaker mode. “Hey, Julian.”
On the other end of the phone, Julian’s voice sounded like a volcanic eruption. “That damned paparazzi, how could they write something like this?!”
“I’ll deal with it.” Nigel had already calmed down.
“My company has already sued them. I’m fine with this incident, but I’m worried that it might affect you and Miss Silverstein’s relationship. You better hurry up and explain this incident to her.”
“She’s sitting right beside me.”
“Greetings, Miss Silverstein! I’m Julian Gilmore. Nigel and I grew up together and we’re very close friends. Most importantly, we’re straight as a pole, so please don’t misunderstand our relationship.” As expected from a person who made a living through acting, his explanation was particularly on point.
Bursting into laughter, Queenie replied, “Mr. Gilmore, it’s all good.”
When Nigel realized that she was amused by another man, he felt a little jealous. “Julian, I’ll hang up first. I have something to do.” After saying that, he decisively hung up the call.
Meanwhile, Queenie’s gloomy mood had vanished like rain clouds after a storm. She then asked him, “Have you eaten breakfast?”
“My stomach is empty!” he answered, sounding aggrieved.
“How about I treat you to breakfast?” She offered generously.
“I’m sorry for last night. I vow to not lie to you ever again.” Immediately after saying that, he made a vowing gesture. “I’m willing to swear with my life.”
Then, Queenie covered his lips with her hand. “I believe you.”
Grabbing her hand, Nigel placed a kiss on the back of it. “As I anticipated, my darling is concerned about me.”
“Who’s your wife?”
“You, of course!”
“We’re not even engaged yet.”
“That’s just a matter of time.” He was very confident in that.
When Queenie looked at the time, she immediately pushed the man beside her and urged. “I need to rush to a meeting. Get out.”
“I won’t. I’m going to the company with you.”
“But your car is here!”
“I’ll hail a cab back here to retrieve it later.” Subsequently, Nigel fastened his seatbelt quickly.
He wanted to stay with her longer so that he could lessen the guilt he felt for her. This incident was all because of his stupidity, and if he had told her the truth back at the restaurant, he would have been able to invite her over and introduce her to his mother.
Had that ever crossed his mind, all of this would not have happened.
“How about we do it this way? We’ll take your car, and you’ll be my driver for the day, sending me on and off work.”
“Sure, that won’t be a problem. I’ll even pay for your entire day’s meals.” Nigel wished nothing more than to stick himself onto her like gum.
Queenie burst out laughing while watching his enthusiasm, especially when he decided to follow Bonnie’s ridiculous request to kneel and ask for her apology. No matter what, she was very satisfied with his performance today.
The two alighted from the car and walked out of the courtyard. On the other hand, Bonnie had already returned to the balcony upstairs and was peeking at them from behind the curtains. When she saw the two getting off Queenie’s car and ascended Nigel’s car instead, she was shocked for a moment and stomped her feet in frustration.
How can they reconcile so quickly? The worries she had before finally returned. If she could not break Queenie and Nigel apart, her future situation would become highly problematic. Also, watching Queenie head to the family’s company every day gave her a sense that the company would end up in Queenie’s hands in the future, so that made her very anxious as well.
After Queenie descended Nigel’s car at Silverstein Enterprise, he wanted to head inside with her when she refused, saying that she needed to attend a meeting soon and had no time to entertain him.
“If that’s the case, I’ll find a nearby cafe to spend my time at. I’ll be waiting near the entrance of your company at 11.30AM,” he proposed. Nothing beats making my girlfriend happy for the whole day.
With that, Queenie subsequently went up to her office while Nigel found himself a nearby hotel to rest at and deal with the hilarious rumor regarding him and Julian. He was determined to have those two reporters make a public apology. Not only that, the media company that published the article had to compensate for his and Julian’s losses, as well as never appear on the Internet again. Ever.
