The President's Darling Chapter 28
It was a dark and silent night. The only sound in the study was the clacking of the keyboard. James continued to work, but his mind was filled with Summer's smiles and laughter.Meanwhile, out in the living room, Summer was curled up on the sofa watching TV, but her attention wasn't on the TV at all. She was thinking about what James had said to her earlier. It made her unsettled.When James finished up his work and prepared to go to bed at midnight, he heard the sound of the TV from the living room. He crept into the living room and found that Summer had fallen asleep on the sofa. Chuckling quietly to himself, he turned off the TV and picked her up carefully.Summer didn't wake up. She just curled deeper into his arms. Affection blossomed in James' heart.He brought her to her bedroom and placed her on the bed without turning on the lights. In the darkness, he stood beside her bed and stared at her sleeping face. After a while, he placed a kiss on her forehead and bid her a silent

Summer teared up when she heard what Amelia said over the phone.No one loved her more than her parents."Don't worry, Mom, I'm doing fine here. James is very good to me. The worst thing that's happened to me is that I get a little bored," she said."It's Dad now, Summie," Fred said on the other end of the call. "Your mother is right, if you don't like it there, you can always come home."Summer was silent as she tried her best to hold back her tears. Even though she was far from home, she could still feel her parents' concern for her."Summie, it's not that we're not concerned about you or how you ended up marrying James. We're very worried about you, you know?" Fred continued. "That little bastard, Hank, teamed up with Simone to bring us down. None of us are happy about this, but you took it especially hard. We were hoping that you would get over it quickly, but that didn't happen, did it?"James spoke to us before you came home that day, actually. Did you know that he asked us

Summer didn't want to imagine the rumors and speculations flying around outside as the elevator doors slid closed. Everyone was definitely shocked. The gossip mill would have a field day about her."Isn't that Charlie, Mr. Quigley's bodyguard?""I know who he is. I'm more interested in who that woman is. Did you see her going into the president's elevator?""Shit, do you think the rumors are true?"All of the discussions were centered on Summer.Even though Summer had already expected this, she still couldn't help but feel anxious. Her hands were trembling as she clutched at the lunch box she was holding. It didn't take long for the elevator to reach its destination. When she exited the elevator, it was as if she'd emerged into another world.There was only black and white here. Black suits, white shirts, exquisite makeup, and sleek black heels. She noticed that some of the women here were barely older than her, yet they were dressed smartly and spoke decisively. They were professiona

While it would be natural for ordinary people to wait for James outside, it was a completely different case for his wife. Natalie hesitated before saying, "Mr. Quigley is having a rather lengthy meeting. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a long time if you don't inform him of your arrival, Mrs. Quigley.""It doesn't matter. I'll just wait outside." Summer pursed her lips slightly and patiently waited. After all, she was the esteemed young madam of the Quigley family, and it was only right for a wife to wait for her husband. Summer felt the need to present herself well; at the very least, she shouldn't embarrass James.However, the wait lasted for half an hour. Although Summer remained composed, her patience began to wear away. Charlie, who was standing on the side, noticed this and suggested, "Madam, the building of Quigley Group is huge. Why don't I take you on a tour?""A tour?""Yes, you are the president's wife. Although you aren't involved in the company's internal
The President's Darling Chapter 32
Despite being aware that James was an excellent man, Summer didn't expect that all the female employees in the company were so enamored of him. It made her feel a little displeased. It seemed that in the future, Summer would have to spend more effort driving away these admirers.But suppose James actually treated Summer as a mere decoration; would she mind if he sought other women outside? Even she couldn't say for sure. After all, the two of them weren't close and had no deep connection.While lost in her thoughts, a startled voice pulled Summer back to reality."Who are you?" It was the woman with dyed blonde hair questioning her. She scrutinized Summer with a pair of wary eyes as though Summer was a criminal.Summer panicked for a moment. She shook her head and explained, "I … I came to see Mr. Quigley and happened to pass by.""Pass by?" The blonde woman's eyes were full of distrust. Then, she said, "I think you must like Mr. Quigley, so you sneaked into the company to see

"I'm not a thief!" Summer explained, but her explanation was of no use at all.Another female office worker said affirmatively, "I don't think you look like a good person. Even if you're not a thief, you must have some ulterior motives. "I suggest we let the security guards come over and investigate carefully. You must have used some improper means to casually enter the company.""Yes, I'm going to call security right now." The blonde woman picked up her phone and dialed the security department. Within three minutes, four burly men in green security uniforms rushed in.One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, asked, "What's going on?""Mr. Zimmer, it's good that you're here. We just caught an unidentified woman. She is definitely not one of our employees. Please investigate properly. She might be a thief."Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Summer immediately explained, "I am not a thief.""Then, who are you?" The head of security sized Summer up sternly
The President's Darling Chapter 34
"My deepest apology, Mr. Quigley. I failed to recognize the young madam's identity." The head of security bowed at a ninety-degree angle, his expression apologetic. Then, he turned sharply and pointed at the blonde female office worker from earlier, saying, "It was Ms. Linda who reported to me that Mrs. Quigley is suspicious. "That was why I brought my men to apprehend her."In that case, it wasn't entirely the head of security's fault. If Linda hadn't casually suspected Summer, he wouldn't have mistakenly apprehended someone.Now that the president was questioning him, the head of security captain would naturally throw someone else under the bus.The blonde woman took a few steps forward and lowered her head in fear, "I'm sorry, Mr. Quigley. I didn't realize she was Mrs. Quigley."James had no time to waste on them. Every second of his time was valuable. He waved to his secretary on the side and said, "Fire them all.""Yes, Mr. Quigley."As soon as he gave the order, it

James did not speak, falling into a long silence. His eyes closed as he let out a deep sigh. "I am doing this for your own good.""I know, but they didn't actually do anything wrong. On the contrary, they were very conscientious, weren't they? Anyway, you're not allowed to fire them." Summer felt a surge of anger in her heart and reprimanded him when noticing that her advice fell on deaf ears.Summer's words shocked everyone present.Virtually no one in the company would dare to speak harshly to James. Summer not only spoke to him in a very arrogant and domineering manner, but she even used a commanding tone to stop him from firing the people. It was simply unbelievable.Just as everyone was expecting James to mercilessly reject Summer, he surprisingly admitted defeat with a dismissive wave of his hand and said, "Forget it. Let's just pretend that it never happened."Then, his lonely figure disappeared into the office like a defeated general retreating from the battlefield.
