Chapter 1188 - 1184: Her Recent Obedience Was Just an Act
Both of them were silent for a long time, and Eva Miller didn’t know what she should say. Perhaps by making this call, she was just bringing trouble upon herself."Brother Johnson, I’ve gotten married." After a while, Eva Miller spoke.
"Really?" His tone remained indifferent.
"Mm." She spoke earnestly, "Brother Johnson, don’t worry, I didn’t make this call to entangle with you; I just wanted to ask about your company’s situation as a friend... I, I am living quite well now..."
"As long as you’re living well." Oliver Johnson paused. "Luke Land should be treating you well, right?"
"Yes, very well."
Eva Miller wanted to say more, but suddenly the door was opened.
It was Luke Land.
"Why, why are you back?"
Eva Miller covered the phone and hastily said to the person on the other end, "I have something to do, I’ll hang up now."
She quickly put her phone back into her purse, afraid that Luke Land would misunderstand something. However, seeing her like this, Luke Land couldn’t help but be suspicious.
"Who were you talking to?"
"Oh, with Sophie Smith." Her expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Little Chili, you’re lying." Luke Land’s gaze was very certain.
"No." Eva Miller avoided him, and then, in a hurried motion, she walked out of the room. Luke Land was already feeling that something was amiss, coupled with her guilty expression, it made him believe even more that she was hiding something. Could it be that her ’obedience’ lately was all an act, just to make him relax his vigilance toward her?
He was a bit absent-minded as he went to the study to retrieve some documents and then headed to the company.
...
When he returned home from work, he went straight to the master bedroom. Eva Miller’s phone was on the desk. He hesitated, picked up her phone, and checked the recent call log. There was an outgoing call from her this morning to an unremarked number...
He took out his own phone, entered that number, and then...dialed it.
"Hello, how are you?"
The voice on the other end was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t quite place who it belonged to.
"Hello, this is Oliver Johnson from Hush Sky Group, can I help you?"
Oliver Johnson.
Ha, of course, it’s like this.
Eva Miller, oh Eva Miller, so your obedience lately was indeed fake. Now she’s actually still connected with Oliver Johnson, trying to rekindle things?
He hung up the call directly.
"Second Young Master, Young Madam is waiting for you downstairs for dinner." The butler called out from the doorway. Recently, the Young Madam has become more good-natured. Initially, the butler suggested she eat first, but she insisted on waiting to eat with her husband. Such a ’gracious and considerate’ Young Madam is indeed hard to come by.
"Second Young Master, did you hear what I said?" The butler called several times, but Luke Land didn’t respond, making the butler a bit puzzled, but she didn’t dare to rashly push the door.
At some point, Eva Miller had already come upstairs.
"Young Madam, I called the Second Young Master, but I don’t know what he’s doing inside; he didn’t respond to me..."
"Alright, I got it, you can go downstairs now." Eva Miller had the demeanor of a hostess; without hesitating, she pushed open the door.
Luke Land stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall figure facing away from her. He heard the sound of the door being pushed open, but he still didn’t turn around.
