Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 524

It was a public holiday on New Year's Day, so Lindsey and Dezi did not have to go to work or school. Since she had been busy with work these days, Lindsey promised to take Dezi and Sieben out for a fun day out on New Year's Day.

Lindsey could not sleep until past midnight last night and inevitably woke up the next morning a little dispirited. She looked a little tired, but she still put up a front and changed Dezi into his clothes, then tied Sieben’s hair in pigtails before they went out together.

When she opened the door, she accidentally kicked a paper box.

After the previous experience of unknown packages being sent to the door and Lindsey’s bad mood from not getting enough sleep, her first reaction was to kick it aside and she did not want to care about it.

However, Sieben bent down and picked it up with great interest. She put it to her ear and shook it.

"Lindsey! There’s a sound!"

Lindsey held her forehead. "Mm, I heard it."

This silly girl was sometimes really dumb and cute.

However, this sound was not like that inexplicable invitation that day. Lindsey reached over and opened it, then found that inside the box were her car keys and her phone that she left in her car last night.

Her phone was also thoughtfully fully charged.

Lindsey really did not know whether to be angry or to laugh at this moment.

There was also a note in the box with a sentence written in a sharp script, “The car is parked downstairs. Sorry about yesterday.”

Lindsey automatically ignored the latter sentence.

She put her phone and keys into her purse. When she walked around the corner after going downstairs, she threw the box and piece of paper in her hand into the trash can.

After New Year's Day, Lindsey’s project had just successfully achieved its first milestone, but there were still countless unfinished tasks waiting for her. Meanwhile, the renewable energy project between Shaun and Callum was also in full swing.

This time, Lindsey was not involved as the project leader. Considering that Lindsey’s workload was already high, Shaun only asked her to participate occasionally.

Wendell Corporation and Hemera were working closer together these days, so Yvette came to Hemera more frequently now.

"My brother said that there’s a technical exchange meeting with Denarius in the middle of this month. The joint venture between Hemera and Wendell Corp isn’t short of investors, but what we lack now is the core technology, so this meeting is very important." Yvette held Lindsey's arm while walking with her.

Yvette was saying that they were not short of money and lacked the talent.

After saying that, Yvette said again with a bitter face, "My brother asked me to go with his assistant. Shaun will also send someone. Lindsey, will you please accompany me?"

Lindsey pointed at herself. "Me? But I don't know anything about that tech."

"I don't understand either." Yvette let out a sigh. “I only did design in college. I didn’t study anything about business but I was forced to join the company. I don’t even remember any chemistry that I’ve learned in high school, but now I’m forced to watch others research about this. Do you think it’s easy for me?"

As Yvette complained about her misery, she looked deeply saddened and leaned on Lindsey’s shoulder. “My life is too tough...”

Lindsey looked at Yvette’s expressive face and felt that it was a waste that Yvette did not go to acting school. This little emotional play was really similar to Quentin’s.

"What is it? Tell me."

Lindsey wanted to ask whether she could back out from this meeting. Zayn's mockery was still fresh in her mind, and she really did not want to work with Denarius' employees with her current status.

However, after some thought, Lindsey swallowed the words.

What exactly was she worried about? What was she so afraid of? Running away would not solve the problem at all.

Lindsey smiled at Shaun. "It’s nothing. I’ll do my best."

Shaun somehow knew what she was worried about, but he pretended not to notice and gestured for Lindsey to go ahead.

The meeting lasted for a week. It not only included Denarius and Hemera, S.P. Corporation, as well as representatives from four other companies also attended this exchange.

They had technical people with them, so Lindsey and Yvette were supervisors at best. After they participated in the meeting, they realized that there was quite a lot of work to be done.

This meeting was held at a hotel owned by Denarius. On the first day, the whole group politely got to know each other. It was a process that required little brainpower. Lindsey and Yvette even enjoyed a nice buffet at the hotel.

From the second day onwards, the pace of the meeting was steeply accelerated.

In the group meeting, Yvette and Lindsey acted as secretaries and recorded all the meeting minutes. They also helped with simple data calculations from time to time and provided necessary information quickly and accurately.

"Lindsey...I feel like I'm back in college during my final year. There was endless research every day and I’ve read countless literature reviews." Yvette rubbed her waist that could not bear this burden. Her lipstick had also faded and she did not have time to retouch it.
