Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 533

"Miles…"

Harriette smiled. It was best to act casual in that scenario. She believed Miles wouldn't suspect anything, given his feelings for "Harriette". As expected, he didn't find her sitting at his desk strange.

"Are you hungry? It's time for lunch. Let's go." Miles reciprocated her smile.

"Right on time! I'd like to try what you always eat!" She cheerfully ran toward him and unreservedly linked arms with him. Then, the two left the office.

The phone continued ringing unattended in the office. It wasn't until they returned from lunch that Harriette rushed into the office and saw the many missed calls on the phone.

"Miles… I'm sorry. I forgot about this…" Harriette seemed apologetic.

Miles reacted calmly and affectionately. "What's there to be sorry about? It's just a few missed calls. Don't worry about it."

He grabbed the phone, knowing that not many knew his private number. When he saw multiple missed calls from the same number, he knew it was probably important and promptly returned the call.

The originally calm Miles shifted his expression after hearing the hospital director's words. "Come again?"

"I thought you knew, Mr. Miles…" How would he know?

His first reaction was to find Rose after the call, but Harriette stopped him. "Miles, is this about Rosie?" He frowned, refusing to say anything.

"Oh, right. Rosie did call just now, but I forgot about it. Me and my memory! She said she feels uneasy having you look after her all the time. Now that she has a new brother—a family—she believes Mr. Xanth can take over the role to save you the hassle!"

Harriette's words undoubtedly angered Miles. What did she mean by a new brother and family? Wasn't he a family to her too? Why was he considered nobody when Clover came into the picture? He had to confront her about this!

With that in mind, Miles turned around and was ready to leave. However, Harriette suddenly gasped in pain.

Halting in his steps, he turned around only to see her painful expression. "What's wrong, Etta?"

"I'm… fine. It's just a stomachache. It's an old issue I've had for a while. I bet it's the ice cream from earlier. I'm fine, Miles. It'll get better soon." Her look of agony rendered him concerned.

"Weren't you going to see Rosie? Go on. I'll be fine by myself," she said thoughtfully. She forced a smile to comfort Miles, but her excruciating expression only made him more worried.

"How could I leave you here? I'll take you to the hospital." He quickly went up to her.

In reality, Harriette was faking her pain. "That's not necessary, Miles. Go check on Rosie, quick."

Stuck at a crossroads, Miles hesitated briefly and chose Harriette over Rose. "Let's go to the hospital!"

Despite her visible reluctance, Harriette couldn't resist his insistence. After all, she would be exposed for faking her pain once she arrived at the hospital.

Just as she pondered how to get out of this, the assistant, Victor Hughes, called to inform Miles of a seemingly pressing matter on their way to the hospital. "Mr. Miles, please drop by soon. Mrs. Yones…" He was talking about Chloe.
