Presiden's wild wife novel Chapter 42

As to the interview with Jeremy, Elena contacted his assistant instead of him directly. Right now Jeremy needed publicity, so his assistant agreed on all proper interviews on his behalf.

The interview was arranged in the afternoon three days later. But when Elena arrived at the company, she didn’t see Jeremy, but Emma!

Emma was sitting on the office chair, looking at her and smiling, "What? Surprised?"

Elena seemed to understand and sneered, "You must have made great efforts to send Jeremy away. Why? You have no confidence in him?'

"Of course not!" Emma snorted, "I did it only to witness your failure. After all, it is impossible to finish your interview if he isn’t here!"

"In this case... goodbye."

"Wait! You are leaving?" Emma was shocked.

Elena looked at her the way she saw an idiot, "My work is to interview him. But now he is not here. Of course I am leaving. Or should I stay here and stand your humiliation?"

"Stop using work as your excuse. You just want to see him. Don't try to fool me. I know you want him back!"

"You are over-thinking. I told you. I am not interested in the second-hand man used by others. Only you take him as your treasure." Elena said coldly.

Emma's eyes widened in anger and the next moment she smiled. She took out her phone and said, "Tell me what will happen, if I tell your chief editor that you offended Jeremy and even messed up the interview?"

She gloated as if she knew it was her weakness.

"Then I will follow the company's arrangement."

"Damn! You are just pretending you don’t care!" Emma dialed the number with her slender fingers and smiled, "Hello, is that Green Light Magazine?"

She gave Elena a glance, reading her expression on her face.

Elena didn't know what Charlie said to Emma but Emma was obviously unhappy.

"Your company's employee has been too aggressive and arrogant since she came in. We accepted your interview but we didn’t expect to be bullied by your staff!

"Now Mr. Smith is very angry. Listen, you must give him an explanation for this matter.

"What has she done? She beat him and threw the coffee to him!!!"

Elena, standing right there and hearing Emma's drama, was impressed by her bad acting. When did she ever do these?

Before Charlie responded, Emma hung off quickly. "Elena, you are dead this time." said she confidently.

"OK." Elena shrugged and replied, "Goodbye."

Emma was determined to get her fired. Elena sighed because she came to interview Jeremy alone today and there was on one else in the office. So she couldn’t explain for herself.

...

Once Elena went back to the company, Coral and Charlie asked her to come to the office instantly.

Coral was furious and asked, "What happened to the interview with Jeremy? Did you beat him!?"

"No, I didn't even see him." Elena replied honestly.

Coral was so angry that she wanted to slam the table. If she didn’t, why the hell that person framed her?

Charlie looked at Elena and seemed to know something. He said to Coral, "You may leave now."

"But..." Coral wanted to say something, but she knew his decision was final. So she had to follow his order. But before her leave, she hinted Elena to mind her words.

Then there were only Elena and Charlie in the large office.

Charlie leaned back and said at ease, "I give you an opportunity to explain what happened today."

Elena took a deep breath and replied, "I didn't see Jeremy today. But I saw his wife."

"Your sister, Emma Bush?"

"How did you know that?" She asked in disbelief.

Charlie gave a faint smile, "Elena, do you really think I don't know who you are? You are Logan’s wife and come to work for me. How can I ignore that?"

He even knew she was Logan’s wife.

Noticing her surprise, he smiled and explained, "Well, I happened to attend your wedding. But I guess you don’t remember me. After all, too many guests came that day."

"So, you have known who I am from the beginning?" she felt a little angry somehow, but after a second thought, she didn't think there was anything wrong about that.

After all, quite a few people attended her wedding. It was her fault not to remember him.

"I’m not sure at first. But when Logan accepted our interview, I knew I was right."

"So what will you..." Elena was a little nervous and uncertain.

"Don’t worry. I heard the news that you had some conflicts with your sister. Therefore, I can guess what really happened after you explained. That’s OK. I will ask another person to finish the interview. If he refuses, we will have to give up."

Elena was unhappy, "Do you grant me the privilege because I am Logan’s wife?"

Charlie stared at her, surprised and confused. The next moment, he burst into laughter, "Hahaha... What are you thinking?"

After a while, he stopped laughing eventually and explained, "I have admired your attitude and ability. I’m quite impressed by that, to be honest. So I want you to stay here and work for me."

Seeing she still doubted, Charlie smiled from his heart, "I know Logan is rich and powerful. But my family is just as prominent as his. I have no ambition and just to run the magazine well. But never think I fear him or something."

Hearing his words, Elena was relieved eventually and smiled, "Thank you, Chief editor."

Walking out of his office, Elena saw Aria waiting outside and wanting to witness her embarrassment.

Elena smiled to her. ‘Sorry to let you down. But I didn’t get fired from the Green Light Magazine.’

Aria seemed to read her mind and stomped angrily, turning around to vent her anger to her group members.

Sophia came close and worried about her, "Elena, are you OK? I heard that you offended Jeremy. Is that true?"

Elena shook her head, "Not Jeremy, but his wife."

"Ah! His wife? How?" Sophia was puzzled, recalling what Aria had said before, "Did she misunderstand you and think you wanted to steal her husband?"

Elena bit her lips and said nothing. She knew Emma was indeed worried that she might steal Jeremy back.

Seeing her silence, Sophia became more worried, "Did you explain to her that you already got married..."

"Not a big deal." Elena saw her worried look and comforted. She patted on her shoulder, "Don’t worry about that. Nothing happened to me."

"But after all, you offended his wife..."

"Never mind. I won’t be responsible for his interview any more."

"Alright!" Sophia sighed, "Many rich housewives are fearing that their husbands will cheat behind their back. So they figure out various tricks to stop that. Recently, a well-known actor was cheating on his wife and got exposed..."

While listening to her, Elena's mind had already flied to somewhere far away.

"Elena, are you listening?"

Seeing Elena was absent-minded, Sophia pushed her shoulder slightly, "Do you think Jeremy Smith is such a playboy that his wife hates every woman he meets?"

Elena blinked her eyes and answered, "It’s their privacy. How can we know?"

"Whatever, I just wish I won’t be responsible for Jeremy's interview because I don't want to apologize on behalf of our company. What’s more, what if his wife thinks there is something between Jeremy and me? I can’t handle that."

"That won’t happen." Elena was amused by Sophia’s assumption and comforted her.

"I hope so!" Sophia was anxious, "However, it is always good to stay away from jealous women to protect ourselves."
