Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 56
Chapter 56
“We’ve not met in a long time.”
Jared’s assistant smiled and spoke. He seemed to have noticed something as well just now, so he did not call her by her
Lirunese name.
Violet withdrew her eyes from Jack and smiled at the assistant warmly. “Long time no see!” She looked adorable with her bright eyes and white teeth.
Their behavior was that of old friends meeting again!
Now it was Jared’s turn to be surprised. He looked at Violet, and then back at Jack again. “What’s the relationship between you two?” Then he turned his eyes to the girl. “Do you live here?”

Violet knew he would have his suspicions. She glanced at Jack, who also happened to look at her. She responded delicately, “We are friends.”
“No, no,” Jared shook his head doubtfully and chuckled. “How can a mere friend be living at home so easily? Also, you were upstairs.” He asked expectantly, “Tell me quick, are you dating?”
Violet smiled sweetly before saying, in a hurried tone, “I’m not supposed to be in the spotlight today so, let’s not talk about me! Shall I go prepare and knead some dough? You guys can talk business.”
Jared beamed happily; it was like he was a different person; he was no longer as solemn as before. “Okay!” There was a smile on his face, “I haven’t eaten your cooking in a long time. I feel peckish just hearing about it, although I’d just had lunch!”
“Then you’re not allowed to pry into my business anymore, alright?” Violet was in a good mood, knowing that Jared would not inquire further. “You guys can discuss business quickly, I’ll go into the kitchen!” Then she gave Jack a happy look and waved at Zoey. “Can Zoey come over and help?”
“Good!” Of course, she would be happy to.
Jack looked at Violet’s back softly; a warm feeling was quietly growing in his heart. It did not seem like she was going to make things difficult.
Violet was the kind of woman who could tell when was the right time to be serious.
“Please sit down.” Jack returned his gaze to Jared, speaking in a gentle voice.
Jared also retracted his gaze from Violet with his entire mood changed. He gave Jack a thumbs-up. “You have good taste!”
Jack just smiled without explaining.
Their next conversation went smoothly, like old acquaintances talking about work. There were no formality and appraisals, nor trials and hesitation.
It had to be admitted that the success of this deal was partly due to Violet.
While Jack was on the way back to the mansion with Jared, he had been thinking about how Jared was an eccentric person. Because of that, he could not take things lightly until the very last moment. Jared might not mention the contract anymore after visiting his smart home, or find a reason to refuse; Jack somewhat knew of Jared’s working style.
