My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1446

"Have lunch together?"

Vanessa could not believe her ears. She thought that she must have heard it wrongly.

When he was in the company, Julien had always been that high and mighty president and he would only look at others with a contemptuous look. Now that he had asked her to lunch out of a sudden, there would only be two possibilities. One was he had gone out of his mind, and the other was that there was indeed something wrong with her ears.

Julien asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Are you sure that you're asking me to lunch together?" Vanessa asked.

Julien frowned. "Why do you find it so unbelievable that I'm treating you to lunch?"

Vanessa smiled awkwardly. "Just forget it, Mr. Kyle."

Julien said, "Well, your boss is treating you to lunch, are you going to kindly accept my invitation or not?"

This person was actually using his position as the president of the company to threaten her. Since he had already said so, there was nothing she could do but agree, right?

Vanessa looked around and said guiltily, "Mr. Kyle, I've got work to finish up now so I don't have any spare time for lunch. If you insist on treating me to a meal, then let's do dinner tonight? Besides, we are at the company now, and there are people everywhere. It won't be good if they see us together."

Julien said, "Who else in the company doesn't know that you're my woman?"

Vanessa was speechless.

Well, what Julien said was indeed the fact.

Since everyone knew her relationship with Julien, so why would it matter if she had a meal with him?

After thinking it through, Vanessa hooked Julien's arm intimately and said with a smile, "Since you're so kind to invite me to lunch, I have no reason to refuse, right?"

Julien did not respond, but held Vanessa's hand in his palm. His hand was much larger than hers, and it felt like he was holding a child's hand.

Back then, she loved it whenever Julien held her hand like this, and she also liked to scratch his palm with her fingers. However, he had always been very patient with her and tolerated all her childish behaviours.

If Vanessa was messing around too much sometimes, Julien would get mad at her too. But no matter how angry he was, as long as Vanessa gave him a hug and behaved coquettishly towards him, his anger would be gone in an instant.

Their past was so sweet, but perhaps it was also because of this very reason that Vanessa did not dare to expect too much... Vanessa wanted to pull her hand away, but Julien held her even tighter. His grip was so tight that she could not break away from him at all.

Knowing this man's temper, Vanessa knew that it would be useless if she continued to struggle. Hence, she followed him into the president's exclusive elevator and arrived at the company's cafeteria.

It was lunch hour, so the cafeteria was crowded with employees from various departments. When they saw Julien and Vanessa walking over hand in hand, everyone's gaze was fixed on them.

Julien had his own private dining room, but he chose to sit in the hall where all his employees would have their meals. He even ordered Joel to reserve a table in the middle, which was the most obvious spot in the entire cafeteria.

When Julien and Vanessa arrived at the

dining table, Julien pulled out a chair for Vanessa before taking a seat himself.

In fact, it was just a normal gesture but it became something extraordinary when it was the high and mighty Mr. Kyle who did it.

Julien was holding Vanessa's hand to show off their relationship in front of all the employees. Did they hear the wedding bells ringing?

Almost everyone had the same question in mind.

However, Julien calmly accepted all the inquiring gazes that were casted upon them. When the waiter served their meal, he said to Vanessa. "Drink this soup to warm up your stomach first."

Vanessa whispered, "Mr. Kyle, did I do something wrong again?"

Julien said, "Tuck in."

Vanessa was so nervous that she inadvertently spoke in a higher pitch, "Julien, have you forgotten what I've told you? I said that you're not the man I want. No matter what you do, I will never marry you."

Julien said, "As long as I want to marry you, nothing will matter."

Vanessa said, "That's not how it works."

Julien said, "Whatever you say."

"If you insist on this, I don't think we should maintain this relationship anymore." Vanessa dropped her spoon, got up and left. She could compromise on anything else, but not on this.

"Joel, arrange a press conference for this afternoon. I have something important to announce." Vanessa heard what Julien had just said to Joel as she walked away.

Joel rushed over and said, "Mr. Kyle, your schedule for today is completely packed. I'm afraid that there won't be any time for a press conference."

Julien said, "The whole thing will only take ten minutes. Go get it ready now."

Joel said carefully, "Mr. Kyle, can you please tell me what is it about? I can get the reporters to prepare their articles in advance so that things can go accordingly."

Julien answered, "I'm getting engaged."

I'm getting engaged!

This very sentence halted Vanessa in her tracks. Was Julien referring to her or someone else?

She was not sure.

Perhaps, Julien had already given up on her and he had another candidate in mind. However, since he was about to get engaged, why did he treat her so well all of a sudden?
