Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 47. Spending Time Together
Nikkie's POV"What did you say? You're not being misinformed, are you?" Richard asked again. He had a tense expression on his face. Richard ended the phone call after the conversation was over.He seemed to be contemplating. Thinking about something I didn't know. I suddenly felt lonely. It was true, I was currently with Richard. But his mind was wandering somewhere else, busy with something else.But what could I do? I was nothing more than a surrogate mother accompanying her client for a meal. Richard had even forgotten to ask me about my interrupted story. When the waitress delivered the food, Richard came out of his contemplation.He skillfully cut the steak on his plate. I didn't want to be outdone, cutting the steak on my plate even though I wasn't as elegant as Richard."Give it to me," Richard asked after cutting the steak on his plate into small pieces. He gave me his plate and exchanged it with my steak plate.I was stunned. The treatment that I had only found in TV dramas
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 48. The Spy, a Loyal Dog
Richard's POV "I stink? Should I take a shower?" I asked, a little surprised. I sniffed myself but didn't smell anything bad. Only the scent of my perfume remained even though I hadn't showered. Nikkie didn't answer, and she seemed to be talking while falling asleep. I didn't want to take any chances. I went downstairs to get the shirt and pants I'd just bought as a change of clothes after training at the gym. I went back to Nikkie's apartment, showered, then checked my phone one last time before going to bed. There was only one text from Shawn saying that Krystal hadn't stayed over and had gone to a nightclub with Chris.Seems like Shawn's report while I was at the restaurant with Nikkie. I never thought that Krystal was really indiscriminate with her sleeping partners. What surprised me was that Shawn said that Krystal went to Eddie's MMA gym. I didn't know why I felt bad. I told Shawn to keep looking for the guy on the black-and-red sports bike.Shawn just said he couldn't
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 49. Krystal's New Boyfriend
Krystal's POV"Of course, you can pay it off! You need more time to find out more, don't you?" I said.Richard frowned. He turned to me with suspicion visible on his face. "What do you mean, find out more?" asked Richard. I smiled with a feigned look of confusion. I shrugged my shoulders. "I mean, surely there's something wrong within your family's company that you can't cover operating costs? I don't know. You're the one who knows more about company management," I explained as best I could. I'm just trying to be entertaining, okay? Because I'm not talented with company affairs at all. But I did know one way to make Richard's company continue to go downhill. Thanks to Jeremy, Richard's assistant and my spy. It's great to have someone competent and loyal around me. They make my life so much easier!Richard was still looking at me with an appraising gaze. I again raised my eyebrows high, confused by the reaction shown by Richard. Indeed, lately, Richard has been playing hard to get,
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 50. The Emerging Facts
Richard's POV "I'd like to report your husband's weirdness this morning." I heard the sound of Jeremy's conversation with his cell phone. He was standing behind me, facing the window by the stairs, one floor below the floor of my office.I had just arrived at my office a few minutes ago. I suddenly remembered I had to find Jeremy to ask him about my following schedule. Jeremy was usually in the pantry at this hour making coffee. I suddenly felt like going down the stairs and finding Jeremy downstairs. I heard something interesting.It was unethical to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, even if they were talking about me. Usually, I would have left Jeremy alone until he finished his call. But this time was different. I was upset. "If you're done with your report, I'm waiting upstairs," I interrupt rather loudly.Jeremy was stunned. He turned his body around and almost dropped the cell phone. He searched for the origin of my voice and found me staring coldly from the top of t
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 51. Bring Back the Mini Bag
Richard's POV"I'm sorry, Mr. Richard, but I don't think this is the right time. I hope you can be patient a little longer. Regarding the person you mentioned, I will recommend someone soon. When do you want this new person to start working?" asked Shawn."The sooner, the better," I said firmly. Shawn nodded in understanding. He excused himself while carrying our leftover trash.After Shawn left, I resumed my investigation. I started to experience the first deadlock since I started investigating.I didn't give up, continuing to investigate patiently and diligently. Unfortunately, patience and perseverance were insufficient to solve my problem this time.For a week, I struggled with my laptop, only sleeping for 5 hours every night. My investigation just kept going in circles. When I thought I was almost there, I was back to square one.All of this was stressing me out. Not to mention having to continue working with Jeremy in an awkward atmosphere. Jeremy always trying to talk with me
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 52. The Gifts from Richard
Nikkie's POV"Don't bother them! Didn't I warn you about the consequences if you were on Mrs. Krystal's side?" nagged Sharon before I could react.Followed by a scratch on the ear of Blake, who had just interrupted my conversation with Richard. Blake winced in pain as he was both yanked and pulled out by Sharon.I laughed at their interaction. But to my surprise, Richard suddenly got up and followed the two outside. Wait, don't tell me that Richard thought Blake meant what he said? I quickly put my phone and card wallet back into my bag, hiding them among the clothes in the closet, and rushed outside.In the living room, I found Blake being scolded by Sharon and Richard. Sharon seemed to be in perfect harmony with Richard, supporting each other to corner Blake. "I told you, I didn't mean it. I was joking, just joking!" Blake exclaimed desperately. Blake glanced at me with a pleading look."Stop it. Didn't Blake say he was joking? It would be best if you weren't so serious," I tried
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 53. Calvin, the New Assistant
Richard's POV"Blake wouldn't do that. Trust me," Nikkie said, trying to calm me down. I didn't react; my frustration with Blake, which had subsided, was now peaking again.Honestly, the only person I trusted was Sharon. Blake was the chef hired by Krystal. Just as Krystal had recommended Jeremy, Blake might have been also Krystal's loyal dog.Nikkie released our embrace and then turned her body so we could face each other. She held both sides of my face with her hands, making our gazes lock. My annoyance instantly disappeared. My heart was beating twice as fast as usual. "Listen. If Blake were that sneaky, he would have reported you to Krystal immediately since he accidentally saw your car being watched outside the apartment."My eyes rounded in shock. "What?"Nikkie nodded vigorously. So Blake had known from the start?"Blake told me that fact yesterday. It was when he accidentally saw Sharon folding your shirt that was left here. Blake asked if you had come to this place, and we
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 54. A One Night Staycation
Richard's POV"What's wrong with me? Isn't this my company's business? Everything is up to me. Why are you the one who's inflamed, Krystal? Did your loyal dog snitch?" I quipped.Krystal, on the other side, was silent. I could feel her shock, which was not quickly masked."You've changed, Richard. You've become rude, you know?" said Krystal across the line. I raised my eyebrows. Was she trying to repeat the same pattern? Is she trying to make me feel guilty again?Sorry, but it didn't work this time. "Is telling the truth now considered a rude act?" I loosened my tie while fixing my sitting position in the car.Calvin in the front was still busy with his tablet, just like when we were about to leave for the meeting earlier. "But it's unethical for you to embarrass her like that! It's the same as embarrassing me. Everyone knows that Jeremy was the one I recommended!" Krystal exclaimed vehemently.I snorted sarcastically. "First of all, I didn't fire Jeremy. I just increased the number
