The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 499

Mila was startled by how fast Jacob told Nathan everything. She gripped her hands tightly without saying a word.

Nathan held back a laugh and tried to look calm as he cleared his throat. He glanced affectionately at Mila while asking Jacob, "Did she insult you by saying you're useless?"

"Yeah, everyone on Team B heard it," Jacob answered angrily.

Nathan simply hummed in response.

"Not only did she slack off and insult her superior, but she also didn't show up for work for a week. Considering her irresponsible behavior, I suggest you dismiss her," Jacob added.

Nathan turned to Fenna and asked, "I told you to arrange a month's leave for her. Why haven't you done it?"

Everyone was surprised by Nathan's question while Fenna nervously responded, "I've been too busy, and I forgot about it."

Mila frowned. Fenna's excuse didn't sit well with her and left her irritated.

Nathan then turned to Jacob. "Did you hear that? It's Ms. Hudson's fault. She forgot about it."

"Why would Ms. Hudson handle Wanda's leave?" Jacob felt confused.

"Isn't Ms. Hudson supposed to handle my tasks?" Nathan questioned.

"Yes, as your assistant."

"Does my wife's tasks count as mine?"

"Absolutely."

Everyone in the room quickly grasped Nathan's message and turned to look at Mila in astonishment. However, Jacob was slower to catch on.

Mila shot Nathan a glare. They had agreed to keep their marriage a secret, but Nathan seemed determined to let everyone at the base know.

Fenna smirked quietly, seemingly pleased.

Mila couldn't figure out where Nathan stood on the matter. She pondered whether men were deeply in love before marriage but became complacent afterward. However, she didn't believe Nathan was like that.

When Jacob saw Nathan wasn't holding a grudge, he felt relieved. With a smile, he remarked, "It's good to have Mrs. Morrison on Team B. Even if she does slack off, it's fine."

"So, does that mean she's exempt from Team B's rules?" Nathan asked calmly.

"Certainly, Mrs. Morrison is free to come and go as she pleases. I won't interfere with her research anymore," Jacob replied, trying to please Nathan.

Nathan nodded approvingly. He approached Mila, took her hand, and gazed at her tenderly. "Wanda, let's go."

Mila was in a daze. She still hadn't gotten over the shock. He wasn't the same Nathan she had known.
