Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 44: Resignation
After the CEO returned and the crowd dispersed, Bella began writing her resignation letter. According to company policy, she had to wait a month after submitting the resignation to leave. Emily, her direct supervisor, would handle the report. Last time, Calvin embarrassed her, so maybe Emily wanted her gone sooner. What reason should she give for resigning? Fiona, seeing Bella struggling, scornfully suggested, "Who cares why you resign? They won't bother to keep a dispensable employee like you. Just say you're pregnant and want to stay home." The company would prefer pregnant employees to resign, saving them money. Bella hesitated. She didn't want to lie like that, but couldn't think of a good reason. Fiona was right; no one cared why she resigned, especially since Emily knew the real reason. Fine, she'd say she was pregnant. Meanwhile, Fiona grumbled about an expensive meal while filling out an expense report. "Expensive restaurants are normal," Bella retorted. She hadn't eaten mu

Bella hesitated, feeling that her novel wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either, and its popularity was really just average. Don't TV adaptations usually choose novels that are extremely popular? What did she have? Although sometimes she would complain in her heart that those adapted novels weren't much better than hers, when it came to herself, she became timid again. Calvin's help was undoubtedly a good thing, but she was happy and worried at the same time, afraid of causing him losses, after all, investing in a TV drama was not a small amount of money. Calvin listened to her worries, unperturbed, "Since we're going to shoot, we naturally have to promote it. We can't just silently film and quietly release it. When you resign, you can participate in the filming of 'I Want Summer' to boost the popularity and discussion of the upcoming TV drama. As long as it's handled properly, becoming a familiar face shouldn't be a problem." "Me?" Bella was dumbfounded. He wanted her to join "I Wan
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 46: Speak normally
Bella hurriedly went out after tidying up. Her mother gestured for her to sit beside the sofa and dumped the contents of the shopping bag onto the coffee table. Bella had never seen these things before and casually picked up one, asking, "Mom, what did you buy? There's so much." Did they really need so many pregnancy tests? Bella's mother glanced at what she was holding and said, "That's an ovulation test strip. If you're not pregnant, you can use it to test for ovulation. The success rate of intercourse during ovulation is high." She then pulled out a pregnancy test and handed it to Bella, saying, "Go and test." "Oh..." Bella glanced at the instructions and went to the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt a strange sensation. Pregnant? Perhaps it was because Calvin was too stable and decisive. Calvin's father never cared about his affairs, let alone urged them to have children. She had been drifting aimlessly with him for a few years, an
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 47: The Little Sprite is Unhappy
As Bella was once again summoned to Devon's office, she truly felt that her life was full of twists and turns. She had expected a leisurely life of sitting back and relaxing after leaving her job, but it seemed like someone always had to disrupt her peace. At this moment, she imitated Calvin's expression of indifference as she watched Devon furrow his brows in deep thought. She couldn't understand why he was troubled over someone who was about to leave the company like her. After a while, Devon seemed to adjust his mood, and his expression softened. However, the chaotic desk and scattered files on the floor still revealed the turmoil in his mind. He must have just had a heated argument with Emily and called her in without even tidying up. "Mr. Devon, you wanted to see me," Bella said when Devon remained silent, prompting her to speak up. Devon sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead with fatigue evident on his face. "Bella, I think you should understand that Emily's animosity towards y
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 48: Unscrupulous Intentions
Bella began to regret taking on the Passion Coconut project. She was busy, extremely busy. The current situation was that she was almost working overtime every day. She initially thought she had a month's time, but later found out she only had two weeks to complete the project and submit it for Cara's approval. Just the thought of Cara made her scalp tingle. She didn't know how she would torment people. Now, she worked overtime every day, while Calvin left work earlier than her and drove to pick her up when he finished. Whenever she was busy, he would wait in the car, sometimes for over an hour. By the time she got home, she could barely keep her eyes open, and the next day, she would yawn her way to work. Bella's mother scolded her for being foolish. She had already resigned, so why was she taking on such a mess? Being passive-aggressive wasn't showing off, could she just quietly finish her last month of work? Did she have to make things so difficult for herself? Looking at her cur
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 49: Fiona
Bella had a fever for two days after the shock, sleeping heavily and unable to inquire about the progress of the situation. During this time, Fiona called, but Calvin answered and didn't mention much, just telling her to rest. By the third day, the fever had finally subsided completely, and Bella felt much better. As soon as she felt better, she couldn't sit still and contacted Fiona. Fiona was eager and said she would come to see her after work. When Fiona arrived, she brought a fruit basket with her. Bella couldn't help but laugh, joking about Fiona suddenly being so polite, even bringing a fruit basket. Fiona replied, "This is just the procedure for visiting someone who's sick." Bella couldn't help but argue, "Come on, it's just a fever, not a serious illness. You can take the fruit basket back with you later as a return gift." On Fiona's first visit, she looked around the house and said, "Who brings a return gift when visiting someone who's sick? Just remember my kindness. Ther
Stuck with My CEO Hubby Chapter 50: Attendance Check
On the first weekend of July, when "I Want Summer" aired, Bella and Calvin were on time in front of the TV. Bella's father had returned from his trip a few days earlier, and her mother had said she would visit them later. Bella told her not to worry about them; they were grown-ups and didn't need anyone to take care of them. Besides, she felt more relaxed when her parents weren't around. Variety shows were all about celebrities playing games for the audience. If there weren't any celebrities you liked, there wasn't much to watch. The segment design of this show didn't differ much from other variety shows; after all, the overall structure was the same, with the selling point being the beautiful scenery and attractive actors and actresses in swimsuits. Although Bella had been to the set before, it was chaotic there, so watching it on TV felt different, and she was quite excited. Besides Julia and David, there were other celebrities as well. She regretted not getting to know them better

Having Jex to lead the way made things easier, but unexpectedly, Jex didn't lead her inside; instead, he walked out. Bella followed him out of the door in confusion before asking, "Where are we going? Isn't Calvin in the office?" Jex didn't pause in front of the elevator but instead turned into the stairwell. The dim lighting made Bella feel a bit dazed, reminding her of the kiss they shared in the stairwell once. It seemed that her feelings for Calvin had slowly begun to change since then. Lost in thought, she heard Jex say, "Calvin's office is on the 26th floor." "Oh." She reflexively responded, then felt something was off. "His office is on the 26th floor?" Were all floors from 26 to 28 part of their company? If so, the scale would be too large, wouldn't it? "The 26th floor is for software development." Bella suddenly realized. Calvin's original profession was software development, and he only ventured into the film and media industry with Jex's cooperation in the past two year
