President's Contract Wife novel Chapter 171

Nina is trying to persuade herself when the alarm clock at the head of the bed rings, and it's 8 o'clock! There's a regular meeting this morning! Her speech is not ready yet!

Nina rushes to the bathroom to take a bath.

Hitting the road to the company, Nina sits on the work station with a feeling that her waist is very sore and it is about to break.

Suddenly, the charming scene of last night flashes in her mind. Nina's face turns red. Then she quickly comes back to her senses and goes to read the materials.

The regular meeting is not unsmooth. Several stuttered places are supplemented by Raymond's thoughtful tips. Nina smiles gratefully at him.

In return, Raymond nods and smiles lightly. Nina's heart gives a sudden leap again. Raymond's smile is similar to Troy's. How could she not find out it before?

As soon as she gets back to the work station, the phone on the desk rings.

Nina picks up the phone, and Sunny's voice comes from the microphone, "Nina, why do you turn off your mobile phone? I've been calling all morning and your cell phone was always off. I thought something was wrong with you!"

"Ah, Sunny, my mobile phone is broken, and I haven't come to buy a new one. What's up?"

"Nina, I'm going to try on my wedding dress today. And I will pass by your company. Would you like to have lunch together?"

"Well, yes. But I only have one hour at noon. We can only have a simple meal." Nina says with a hint of regret.

"It's OK. Peter Johnson forces me to eat crazily every day. I've gained a lot of weight now. Simple meals just can help me control my weight." Sunny's complaints are full of sweetness.

After hanging up, Nina is about to work when the front desk phone comes in again.

"Nina, someone is waiting for you at the front desk."

Someone waiting for her? Who? She has only Sunny as a friend in this city.

Is it her sister? Nina has not heard from Grace for several years.

Putting down the work at hand and arriving at the front desk, Nina is surprised to find that it is Lucien'secretary who comes to her company.

Nina is very nervous and hurriedly pulls Linda to the reception room, "Linda, what can I do for you?"

Linda smilingly hands her a beautifully packed paper box, "Miss Morrison, this is Mr. Gray's order. Let me take it to you."

"No, no, I don't want it..." Nina quickly shrinks her hand behind her as if she is scalded by this box.

Linda smiles meaningfully, "Miss Morrison, you haven't even opened it for a look, how can you refuse?"

"Don't open it. I won't accept it no matter what it is." Nina stands up, with a gesture of seeing Linda off right now.

Linda shoves the paper box into Nina's hands, "Miss Morrison, this is what Mr. Gray ordered. He repeatedly stressed I have to hand it over to you. You'd better take it, or I won't be able to report on his mission. You know Mr. Gray's temper. It's hard to find a job now..."

Linda says and observes Nina's expression, with a flash of light passing through her eyes.

Hearing what Linda says, Nina is embarrassed. She is still in trouble, but Linda has twisted her curvaceous waist and left.

Nina takes the paper box to hide in the bathroom and opens it in a state of upset.

A white diamond inlaid mobile phone appears in front of her. It is a little like the iPhone, but the body is pure gold, and the screen is also full of the unique dark and soft light of the gem.

It looks like the legendary Ninin mobile phone.

Although Lucien really should pay for her a mobile phone, she can't afford this luxurious one!

Nina takes a look and puts the mobile phone back into the paper box and packs it as it was.

In Lucien's office, Linda is calling, "Mr. Gray, the mobile phone has been delivered, and Miss Morrison has accepted it."

"Well done! I'll raise your salary by 20% from next month." Lucien says that and hangs up.

Putting down the phone, Linda makes a "V" sign to the window! Lucien is really generous. She just sends a mobile phone and her salary unexpectedly gets a 20% raise!

After thinking about it, Linda picks up her mobile phone and goes to the corridor to make a phone call.

"Miss Harris, I have something to report to you." Linda's face is covered with a flattering smile.

Jasmine pays $300 to Linda's account every month and asks her to monitor Lucien. If there is anything abnormal, Linda will report it to her immediately.

Linda has looked into Lucien for more than two years, but nothing unusual happens. Apart from some fanatical women who are very active, Lucien doesn't really have any romantic affairs.

"What happened?" Jasmine's voice immediately becomes tense.

During this time, she also feels something wrong with Lucien. They met only twice, and he was distracted from time to time. It was obvious that he was out of his mind.

"Miss Harris, Mr. Gray seems to be very close to a woman named Nina recently."

"Nina?" How is the name so familiar? Jasmine immediately asks, "Is it such a woman who is about 1.63 meters tall, with a oval face, medium long hair, fair skin, thin figure and particularly bright eyes?"

How does Jasmine know? Linda is curious, "Miss Harris, do you know her?"

It seems that the woman is Sunny's best friend! Jasmine is so angry that she is going to crumb her cell phone.

Linda's voice is heard again, "Mr. Gray called me this morning and asked me to buy a Ninin cell phone for the woman."

"Ninin cell phone?" Jasmine's voice increases eight degrees. A mobile phone costs more than thirteen thousand dollars, and it was unwise to spend so much money flirting with women.

Linda continues to grow her anger, "Well, when Mr. Gray heard that the woman received the mobile phone, he gave my salary a 20% raise."

"..."

Jasmine's eyes are almost bursting with fire. What's the merit about that skinny woman? Lucien sent a gift to please the woman, who received his gift, and he actually felt very proud.

He even gave the employee a pay raise who delivered the gift.

The other end of the phone is silent, so Linda is a little flustered. Isn't her intelligence too worthless?

She quickly recalls what happened before and continues to report, "The woman came to our company yesterday to talk about some business. After their director left, Mr. Gray left her alone and spent half an hour together with the door closed."

Jasmine's face is livid, "Did she come to your company?"

"She is the employee of J&Y Group. They have a business relationship with our company. Recently, the enterprise publicity of Gray Group has been outsourced to them." Linda quickly explains.

Jasmine keeps silent for a while, and then she slowly says, "Thank you for reminding me in time. I will give you another $300 every month, and you just need to monitor Nina carefully for me! Besides, please send me a copy of Lucien's recent work schedule."

Linda hangs up the phone in ecstasy. She really wants to buy a telescope at once, puts it by the window, and observes Nina's movements every day!

When Nina enters the restaurant, Sunny is waiting for her at the table.

Seeing Nina's paper box, Sunny raises her eyebrows in surprise, "Wow, you are so polite to me. Is this a gift for lunch?"

"How sweet you dreamed!" Nina pulls open her chair and sits down. Her face wrinkles like a bitter gourd, "This is a gift from Lucien. I'm going to drop by the Gray Group to give him it back after the meal."

Lucien! Upon hearing the name, Sunny's heart of the gossip immediately begins to swell, "Nina, why does he pester you again?"

Nina sighs, and tells Sunny all the things about them recently, only concealing the crazy night yesterday.

Sunny sighs with emotion, "Nina! Lucien still wants to date with you! It's obvious that he wants to seduce you again."

Nina gives her a supercilious look, "Seduce? Can you stop being so mean?"

Sunny ignores her and points to the paper box and says, "What's inside? Can I have a look?"

Nina shrugs, "A mobile phone. If you want to see it, just turn it on."

Sunny opens the box and immediately exclaims, "Nina! Lucien is very generous to you! Isn't this Ninin? This brand of mobile phones are all customized, which are not necessarily available even if you have a lot of money!"

Nina wrinkles her nose, "Sunny, I'm thinking about whether I should resign. What I am doing now is entrusted by his company. I'm sure I'll have more frequent contact with Lucien in the future."
