My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1974

Johan was dressed neatly in a bespoke suit, and trailing behind him was his assistant, Alexis.

He strode forward with Alexis at his heels, muttering something. They were probably talking about work.

Johan was involved in chain malls business, and Silas Group had many malls under them across the globe.

Therefore, Johan would often visit malls, be it locally or overseas, to supervise its operation. However, this was the first time that Sierra had run into him by chance.

In the past, she had often bumped into him while he was at work, but everyone around him knew that those weren't really coincidences in any sense of the word.

Sierra would always obtain Johan's schedule from his assistant and create fake run- ins.

Though it was a real encounter that time, Sierra was no longer willing to lower herself to love a man who didn't love her back.

Sierra quickly averted her gaze from Johan. She took Adrienne by the hand and said, "Adrienne, let's go to the second floor and shop for some clothes."

Adrienne looked back at Johan, who was not far away, and nodded slowly. "Okay."

At that moment, Johan caught a glimpse of Sierra. Behind him, Alexis stopped and said, "Mr. Silas, I really didn't reveal your whereabouts to Miss Sierra this time."

In the past, Johan must have tacitly approved for Alexis to reveal his whereabouts to Sierra which was why Alexis had instinctively defended himself when they bumped into Sierra that time.

Emotionlessly, Johan glanced at Sierra, and then withdrew his gaze. "What do we have next on the schedule?"

Alexis immediately replied, "You have a meeting at 11 o'clock."

Johan raised his hand to consult the time. "Postpone the meeting to this afternoon."

Alexis did not understand why Johan would want to postpone such an important meeting all of a sudden, so he asked, "But Mr. Silas..."

Johan had already stalked away before Alexis could finish his words, leaving him with no choice but to catch up to him.

There were many questions in his mind, but he dared not ask them, so he could only keep guessing.

After following Johan for a while, Alexis realized that something was off. "Mr. Silas, is there a problem?"

Johan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What problem?"

Alexis added, "I mean, we've already inspected the entire area so I'm wondering if there is anything wrong with any of the shops here that you're going for another round of inspection?"

Johan looked at him, annoyance in his eyes. "What's the problem with making a few more rounds when I'm the owner of this mall?"

"Oh, no problem at all, Mr. Silas."

Alexis grumbled inwardly, "Yes, you're the boss. Of course you can go wherever you want but can't we at least mind the time?"

"There's such an important meeting but you postponed it until later. Is this your usual way of doing things?"

A load of complaints were prowling in his heart, but he did not dare to say a word out loud, for fear that Johan would throw him off the building.

Just as he was puzzled by Johan's actions, he once again picked up on a familiar figure through the corner of his eyes. He finally understood what

Johan's strange behavior was all about.

If this was in the past, Johan would never bat an eye on Sierra who used to hover before him all the time.

It seemed like Johan was acting even weirder than usual now that she hadn't shown up for a few days.

He was always distracted at work, and he even pushed back such an urgent meeting.

Alexis retracted his gaze and looked at Johan.

Johan's gaze was also inadvertently shooting towards Sierra.

Silently, Alexis held his boss in lower regard.

As expected, men were all scoundrels.

Even a man like Johan was no exception.

Adrienne nodded and said, "Sure."

Sierra added, "Why didn't you ask me why we are leaving?"

"If you want to tell me, I'll listen. But if you don't feel like talking about it, then I won't ask." Adrienne smiled. "In the end, love is a matter between two people. You should be clearer than any of us if you should go on with him. I will support you no matter what decision you make."

Sierra beamed as she gave Adrienne a hug. "Adrienne, thank you for being so considerate."

Adrienne was a little confused. "Oh, I haven't done anything, why are you thanking me?"

Sierra said with a smile, "All I can say is, Jefferson really has a good eye for women."

Adrienne was a little embarrassed by Sierra's compliment. "Honestly, I'm not as great as you think I am. In fact, I'm very selfish."

Adrienne thought that she was selfish to the point that only Jefferson was the one giving everything while she never gave him anything in return.

Sierra joked, "Are you saying Jefferson has a bad taste or that I do?"

Adrienne stared at her blankly.

Was that what she meant though?

It seemed that in terms of eloquence, she was indeed inferior to the Yard family.

Sierra opened the door and said, "Get in the car. Let's go somewhere else to shop."

Adrienne nodded and said, "Okay, we'll shop till we drop today."

Seldom did Adrienne go shopping, as she was not very interested in it. Freya often teased that it was rare for a girl to feel that way.

She accompanied Sierra and shopped a lot that day. When she was about to pay for the bill, she found out that her purse was penniless. Fortunately, Jefferson arrived in time and handed his credit card to the cashier.

Although that was probably her own money, she was still enraptured by how charming he appeared at that moment.
