章節 11: Chapter 11
After a while, he quietly put down the phone, then coldly got up to go to the dining table, I had to continue to follow. This scene made me feel like I was a servant and he was the boss, after cooking a meal, I had to look at people's faces to judge whether it was good or bad, happy or sad. It's too stressful.
He sat down at the table, picked up a few dishes, and frowned slightly. My mood also followed his frown that was as tight as a string. His family's request is to make him satisfied, now if I don't cook to his liking, in the days to come... I know what to do.
"It's hard to eat, how do you cook?" Geoffrey Derek coolly dropped his chopsticks on the table, raised his head and frowned at me.
"Yes?..."
Actually, before, I worked as a waiter for a restaurant, also learned a short cooking course, and never saw a customer disparage me. Is it possible that in just over a week without cooking, the skill has gone downhill so quickly?
I trembled a little, my palms suddenly sweat a lot, and whispered: "I'm sorry...Let me do it again!"
"No need." After that, he coldly stood up: "If you don't cook well, then eat all of this for me yourself."
Then left upstairs.
When he left, I dared to sit down at the table, try some of the dishes I cooked, and bring them to my mouth.
It's delicious, what's so hard to eat? Why is Geoffrey Derek so angry? Or is your taste different from mine?
I tasted one dish after another, finally forgetting that I had displeased him, so I lowered my head to eat. I haven't been able to eat comfortably for a few days, so now I'm alone in the dining room, I can eat whatever I want, I don't have to shut up, afraid to see people's faces, gestures how to eat Really very comfortable.
When I finished eating, I also drank a glass of orange juice prepared for him on the table, carefree holding my stomach in satisfaction, and almost burped.
It wasn't until later that I learned that: It's not that my skills have gone down, but that someone deliberately criticized me for not cooking well to give me food. Unfortunately, when I realized this too late, we could no longer return to the beautiful days like now. The man who I love!!!

The next day, I had just arrived at the office when Aubrey called me into the office.
"Myrna, how are you these days? Is there something wrong with you?" Aubrey poured a cup of hot oolong tea, placed it on the table, and quietly pushed it toward me, a slightly worried expression on her face.
"No, I'm fine, just a little flu."
"I've lost a lot of weight."
I smiled and laughed, subconsciously putting my hand on my face: "Really? But yesterday I climbed on the scale, I gained 5 kg."
Aubrey saw me smile like that, my face also relaxed a few parts, happily said: "You're fine, I'm fine, I'm just worried about what's wrong with you."
"Aren't you worried there's no one to socialize with you?"
"It's too embarrassing, I guessed correctly."
"You're my loyal disciple."
"So the disciple has a problem, you have to tell me, okay?"
"Yes I know."
"Okay, now I'll give you some documents, can you take a look and prepare for the upcoming contract?"
"Is there a new contract?"
"Yes, I just contacted the sales director of XN company, after several negotiations, they finally agreed to meet and discuss the contract."
"How is XN company?". I can't believe I asked again.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Ah... no, it's nothing."
Aubrey smiled gently, then got up to go to the desk, took a stack of documents and handed it to me: "Do your research, I heard that the general manager of this company is extremely qualified, so be careful. be a little careful."
"Yes, let me see."
After that, I took the documents and greeted him, returning to my room. Actually, Aubrey is my senior at university, after graduating, he founded his own electronics company, I was four years younger than him, so when I joined this company was greatly favored by Aubrey, he also often took me to socialize to learn more business experience.
Previously, I also heard about XN company, in this city, XN is the most powerful corporation, also the most difficult commercial object to access. This time with such a good opportunity, Aubrey must have spent a lot of effort, so no matter what, I must devote myself to helping him.
When I opened the document, the first page was a profile of Geoffrey Derek. Those who do business are certainly no stranger to this way of working, which can be understood simply: Before you want to reach an effective agreement, the first thing to do is to find out the truth. Be careful about your partner. In this contract, the person we want to please is my husband - the General Director of XN company.
In Profile there are a few profile shots of Geoffrey Derek, although I'm starting to get used to his face, to be honest, in pictures or in real life, his perfect masculine features are just too much. charm, too much to move people's hearts.
Next to the pictures were written the words: General Manager - Geoffrey Derek. Age 31, marital status: Married.
The eldest son of Victory Derek, the true grandson of Emma Derek, the future heir of XN Group. Has a younger half brother named Lusxuy Derek who is studying abroad in Chicago.
Hobbies: None
Scandal: None
Education: Graduated with honors from Harvard University.
I briefly looked at all the information about Geoffrey Derek, found that in this short biography, there are many blanks, almost the introduction of him is very simplified, even too sketchy, proving his private life. was covered up very well.
Why is the story about him and Winifred Xavia so popular that the media does not know anything?
Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at the entry for the wife's name, and it was also empty. Having said that, my marriage ceremony with him was held very simply, there were not many guests, the most special thing was that no one was allowed to bring a phone or any other photographic equipment. I don't know why they have to do this, and I don't understand why they force Geoffrey Derek to marry someone like me, everything is like a secret veil that I can't lift no matter what, thinking is brain no matter what. I can only feel that: All of this has something to do with your identity and position.
That's right, he has a younger half-brother. With that said, could it be that the current mother is not his biological mother but his stepmother?
The whole working day that day, I only focused on studying documents about XN group, the more I researched, the more surprised I was by the size and terrible amount of capital of my husband's family group.
However, before we got married, I was very clearly informed: If we get a divorce, I will not be entitled to a penny of the property.
Reading this far, I had to open my computer to search for three words Emma Derek, less than a few seconds google gave thousands of search results. It is said on the internet that he previously founded the Emma group empty-handed, then because he had only one son, he changed the name of the corporation to XN. His son formerly had a wife named Myanmar, later because of a difficult birth, he unfortunately passed away. A few years later, Lusxy married another wife and gave birth to another son, the half-brother of Geoffrey Derek.
That's it, now I can say with certainty: our marriage was related to the inheritance of Geoffrey Derek.
Last time, his family came to eat with me, I had the feeling that if Grandpa wasn't counted, the person in charge of the house was his mother. My father-in-law from beginning to end hardly interfered in anything, and rarely opened his mouth. No matter how much my mother-in-law yelled at me, only my grandfather spoke up for me, but my father-in-law did not.
So if I'm not mistaken, in this noble family, in this race for power... perhaps Geoffrey Derek was very lonely.
His mother died, his father had a second wife, he had to move out and live on his own, for sure living with them was not pleasant either. Unknowingly, the bridge of my nose becomes bitter again...because, his situation is somewhat similar to mine, I can understand a little bit.
Thinking of this, I let out a small sigh. It turns out that the poor have the suffering of the poor, the rich also have the suffering of the rich, in the fierce race for money and fame, even blood relatives can be accidentally trampled.
