Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 188

"What about the stock market now?”

After Echo's call in the evening, I was pretty relaxed, taking the stability in prices as a good sign. My company's stocks were trading on top, affecting our reputation in the business community. This news was indeed reassuring.

However, Echo's report in my mailbox begged to differ. The dramatic change in the market until closing time had risked the prices once again.

"God, when will I resolve this issue?”

Groaning in frustration, I scrolled through the report, reading the new reason for my headache. This issue of unstable stocks had immensely disturbed my professional career.

Henry hired the experts and took help from his associates, using innovative methods to restore my agency's glory. He was certain of some positive outcome as he had already handled such ups and downs in his own business.

However, in my case, my company was on the rocks, adding one after another problem to my list. I was typing an email to consult the top financial expert in the Lakon city when Bright raised his voice.

"I know that it's your company's confidential matter. But can you make an exception and let me take a look at the documents, Laura?

I want to search for the main reason for instability"

Well, what was the use of dating the CEO of the company when he couldn't have access to the top-secret files. So, I didn't mind sharing my work information with him, low-key flexing my profits and achievements.

Bright was the heir of a reputable business family, it felt good to stress on my qualities to impress him. My insecurities were adamant about proving myself better than Sienna Lockwood.

She was young, funny, and intelligent, the purity of her heart was truly fascinating. That was something that men look for in their life partners. So, I just wanted to make sure that Bright was aware of the areas I excelled at.

My statement was meant to knock some sense in that employee of the month's mind, but Bright's exotic smile reached his eyes in response, sparkling them like twinkling stars.

I was outclassed by his seductive whisper as he left the tab and grasped my wrist.

"So, you are trying to implore that I am not strong enough for work pressure!”

With that, he pulled me into his arms, taking me by surprise. I gasped as my head hit his steel muscles directly.

"Would you like me to show you a small example of my skill?

Care for a ride, Laura?”
