A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 625

James could tell from Nell's tone that she was very happy.

He leaned against the back of his chair, stretched his body comfortably, and held his phone with a smile. "A pay raise? That's good."

"Yes!" Nell said in an excited tone, as if she was seeking praise. "Our boss is usually a stingy person. This time, he suddenly gave me a raise. I was also very surprised. This might be because I usually work seriously."

"Congratulations. You deserve this."

"Thank you!" Nell answered with a smile.

"We agreed tonight that you'll treat me to a big meal."

"Of course!" Nell asked, "What are you doing now?"

"Reading the documents!"

The voice of a female secretary came from the microphone. "Mr. Walker, you need to sign here."

Nell was stunned.

What a gentle female voice. Moreover, her tone was extremely light and carried a trace of charm, causing Nell's mind to instantly become alert.

Immediately, Nell stopped talking.

By the time the female secretary took the documents out of James' hands and left, Nell had yet to come back to her senses.

"Nell, why are you suddenly silent?"

A jealous voice came from the microphone. "I was afraid of disturbing your work with your secretary!"

After Nell finished speaking, there was no sound from the other side of the line.

Nell thought that James felt that she had interfered with his work and was angry with her, so he did not answer her again. Her heart chilled, and she was ready to hang up the phone after saying something to avoid the embarrassment of both sides.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, James' soft and pleasant voice rang out.

"It turns out that my Nell is jealous!" James said faintly.

Nell frowned.

This did not seem like an angry tone.

However, jealous?

"Who is jealous? Besides, why should I be jealous?"

James pointed out with a smile. "Then who suddenly stopped talking just now because I spoke to the secretary? Aren't you jealous?"

Nell carefully recalled her reaction just now.

Ever since James' secretary had spoken, Nell had always felt that her heart was stuffy and filled with sadness. That feeling made her very uncomfortable because she had never felt this before. Thus, she didn't know what was going on.

Now that she heard James say this, her mind was buzzing.

She was really jealous just now, and... she was jealous of James.

How could this be? How could she be jealous of James?

She shook her head and stammered, "I just... I was suddenly distracted. I wasn't jealous. I definitely wasn't. Don't misunderstand!"

James held back his laughter. "Alright, you are not jealous."

"Then you can do your work now!" Nell was about to hang up after she finished speaking.

"Wait a minute!" James stopped her in time.

"What?"

"There's no need to wait until tonight. Let's have lunch together. It's my treat!" James said.

"Lunch?"
