Chapter 204: I Will Accompany You

The director looked at his boss who stood up from his seat and gave it to him. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly lowered his head and greeted, “Mr. Key.”

Stefan glanced at the refined middle-aged man beside him and said in a deep voice, “You’re from the Key Group!”

Mr. Key had a lot of work to do every day, and there were many talents in the company. It was normal for him not to know a small manager of a branch company.

The director nodded and introduced himself. Stefan glanced at him coldly and said, “Have a good talk with Mrs. Anderson!”

The president left and even gave him a seat.

The director looked at the sofa in front of him. When he sat down in a daze, he couldn’t help but rub against the sofa.

The place where the president sat must be stained with his luck.

Hilla looked at the director in front of her and smiled. “I’ve seen the price you gave me, but can I go to the factory to see the finished product?”

It was originally not possible, but she was sitting with the president just now, and they looked particularly familiar.

Although it wasn’t popular to pull the strings in Key Group, he could still give her a little convenience.

“Yes, as long as you are satisfied with our fabric.”

In fact, he was very surprised that Hilla would buy from the Key Group. He heard that Mrs. Anderson had also contacted the Hutt family, and he knew the price offered by the Hutt family was definitely very favorable.

What was more, it was known that the two old men of the Key family and the Anderson family were at odds, which caused some conflicts for the management and employees of the two companies.

And Mrs. Anderson wanted to purchase raw materials from them.

The two of them had a harmonious conversation. When Hilla came out of the restaurant and was stopped by Stefan, she even had some hallucinations.

Why did Mr. Key look so abnormal?

“There are some things that I want to trouble you to help me deliver to someone.”

“You mean Riya, right?”

Hilla directly exposed him, and the man opposite her didn’t feel awkward at all. He nodded calmly.

“I wonder if you would be willing to help me with this.”

Hilla smiled and said, “Why don’t you give her by yourself since you’ve been familiar for so many years?”

He made it so complex by asking her to do it.

The man pursed his lips tightly and didn’t speak. Hilla thought that it might be his private matter, so she didn’t continue asking.

“I happened to have something to give her. When you’re free, send it to Lakeshore Center.”

Stefan nodded and said calmly, “Thank you!”

Hilla said, “Helping others is also my source of happiness.”

Hilla didn’t expect that Stefan would be so quick to deliver two large boxes to her house that night.

Following them was the new list of prices that Key Group had given her.

Hilla raised her eyebrows and looked at Bruce, who was glancing at her, asking, “Does Mr. Key like Riya very much?”

When he heard the name of Riya coming out of Hilla’s mouth, Bruce couldn’t help but look at her deeply and said, “I don’t know.”

It was obvious that a man like Bruce would never notice the affair of other people.

He only cared about himself.

“Oh, your ex-girlfriend is liked by others. Do you feel anything?”

Hilla smiled mischievously and moved closer to Bruce. Her little face was slightly flushed. When she met the man’s deep gaze, she was stunned.

Just as she was about to leave, Bruce pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her soft, rosy lips.

Hilla came back to her senses in an instant from the sudden accident, and her arms wrapped around the man’s neck, making a small response.

The man in front of her seemed to want to swallow her whole, and his arm wrapped around her waist, trapping her within his strength.

Hilla was soon captivated by the kiss, and she looked at the man in front of her with watery eyes, taking his charm.

It was only when Hilla felt his physical reaction that she pushed the man away with a red face.

Bruce breathed a heavy sigh of relief. His gaze fell on the red and moist lips that he had kissed. His eyes revealed a trace of pride.

“Can you do me a favor?”

Hilla came back to her senses. Looking at the two large boxes in the room, she pursed her lips.

“What is it?”

Bruce’s voice was still a bit hoarse from lust, and his lips slowly rubbed against her ears and neck.

Being tickled, Hilla shrank her neck, muttering in a low voice, “I want Stefan’s number.”

Even if they didn’t get along, Hilla knew that Bruce definitely had Stefan’s number.

Her waist suddenly being tightened, Hilla felt a trace of pain, and Bruce’s breath pressed down, “Now you still have time to think about other men.”

“I didn’t. I have some business to attend to.”

Hilla pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, “Today, Stefan asked me for help. Just now, Key Group gave me a new bid.

“I think that since Stefan doesn’t want to owe me a favor, I also don’t want to owe him a favor. Besides, aren’t you at odds?”

She still had to pay attention to the impact, at least not to make things difficult for her husband.

Bruce looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile, “Who told you that we are at odds?”

Hilla was confused.

Hilla blinked and looked at him innocently. “Aren’t you? Everyone says so.”

“If you two are very compatible, why do you obviously avoid each other every time?” Hilla thought.

Hilla stared at Bruce’s face and said hesitantly, “Is that not the case?”

She shouldn’t believe the rumors, since she did not have any solid proof.

“Then why do the two of you keep silent every time?

“Does the Anderson Group have no project to cooperate with the Key Group?”

Bruce looked at her confused face and couldn’t help but chuckle. Although he didn’t explain the reason to her, he was still very cooperative. He gave Hilla the phone number.

Once Hilla got the phone number, she quickly jumped out of Bruce’s arms.

His embrace was empty and Bruce frowned uncomfortably.

Hilla took the phone and went to the balcony. The number was dialed for a while but was hung up.

Hilla stared blankly at the black screen of her cell phone, unable to react for a moment. What was going on?

Stefan actually did not pick up her call!

Hilla bit her lip and sent a message to the number.

“Aren’t you in a hurry to send the things? By the way, I see you return the favor.” Sure enough, not long after Hilla sent the message, Stefan called.

“Sorry!” Stefan said in a deep voice. “I thought it was an advertisement!” Hilla was speechless.

It seemed that it was normal for him to have no girlfriend.

If she was Riya, she might want to beat Stefan to death!

…

Hilla took a deep breath and forced a smile.

Her voice was clear. “I will send your things out tomorrow, but I just received a new offer from the Key Group. I wonder if this is your idea.”

“Yes!”

There was no hesitation or concealment in the man’s deep voice.

He said softly, “Of course.”

Hilla couldn’t help but smile. “Then can I reasonably think that this is your repayment to me?”

If that was the case, the two of them would have no qualms. After all, it was actually Stefan who asked her for help first! “Sure.”

The man’s answer was still very simple, but his deep and powerful voice made people feel very assured.

Different from the Hutt family’s ulterior motives, Stefan seemed to be settling accounts with her very clearly.

Obviously, this man was not willing to owe her a favor!

Hilla smiled in satisfaction, “Since you are so sincere about our cooperation, then I thank you for your kindness.”

Stefan was speechless.

He didn’t have any kindness. He just didn’t want to owe her a favor.

After hanging up the phone, Hilla returned to her room with a smile. She immediately saw Bruce on the sofa looking at her with a half-smile.

He looked so wronged and upset.

Hilla was stunned and couldn’t help but laugh. She stepped forward and sat down on Bruce’s lap, her arms resting on his shoulders.

“Are you angry?

“No, you are jealous.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of strong arms appeared on her waist and tightly locked her in his arms.

He lowered his head and smiled. “You want to talk to him for such a long time?”

Hilla raised her eyebrows and complained in a low voice, “Don’t tell me you don’t even allow me to talk to other men!

“This is too overbearing.”

Bruce nodded, “Indeed overbearing.”

He really loved to be praised, not modest at all.

Hilla couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

“I’m hungry!”

Hilla muttered in a low voice. These two days, she always felt like eating and couldn’t help but feel sleepy. She wondered if her period was coming soon.

Bruce lowered his head and kissed her lips. He did not pester her too much and said, “What do you want to eat?”

“Barbecue!”

Hilla didn’t hesitate and said with a smile.

The barbecue had been wandering in her mind recently somehow, and even the smell seemed to drift past the tip of her nose from time to time.

It was too attractive.

Bruce frowned slightly. These were not things that he usually liked, and the two of them rarely went to such a messy place.

Seeing that she was so gluttonous, he did not make things difficult for her.

With the car keys in his hand, the two of them changed their clothes and left the house.

There was a street full of food stalls at the corner of the community. At this time, it was bustling with noise, and the front of various stalls was crowded.

Hilla pulled Bruce’s sleeve tightly and followed him obediently.

The two of them arrived at a barbecue shop. Bruce looked at the menu and frowned slightly.

It was obvious that it was his first time here and he did not know how to order.

“Didn’t you eat these when you were at college?”

Seeing Bruce’s helpless expression, Hilla couldn’t help but laugh.

Bruce was a little helpless. “I went abroad when I was in high school.”

So he was good at foreign food, but it was his first time eating at a roadside stall.

He had yearned for it when he first returned to the country, but due to his identity and the company’s busy schedule, he gave up.

Hilla let out a sigh and said regretfully, “Then you have indeed lost a lot of fun in your life.”

Words failed Bruce.

“When I was in college, I often sneaked out to eat with my classmates in the evening.”

The man on the other side looked up. “How many times have you eaten after marriage?”

Hilla pursed her lips and looked down. “None.”

She remembered she had eaten roasted chicken with Lily before she graduated.

When she and Bruce got married, Bruce was still a vegetable and needed someone to take care of him, so she had to return to the Anderson family on time every day.

As time passed, she had forgotten about this ordinary pleasure.

The man on the other side was silent for a moment, and his voice was sincere. “In the future, we can come anytime.

“I’ll accompany you!”

Hilla was stunned. She looked up at the man sitting opposite her.

The lights around him made his face a little hazy, but it was still extraordinary.

Although Bruce was dressed in casual clothes, he still looked a little out of place compared to the noisy crowd.

Hilla smiled, with a warm feeling in her heart, and her voice was especially gentle. “Alright!”

Hilla ordered a bunch of meat skewers that she liked to eat and brought them to Bruce with a smile.

The man did not resist, lowering his head to bite the food she sent over. “How is it?”

Hilla’s eyes sparkled under the light, very charming. She stared at the man opposite her and asked nervously.

The man nodded. “It tastes good!”

After he tasted it, his life shouldn’t be considered to have lost its fun.

Hilla laughed happily.

After the two of them ate, Bruce bought her a cup of milk tea.

The two of them walked casually on the street, and Hilla followed him with a straw in her mouth.

After walking through a whole street, the two of them drove back.

As the matter of the fabric came to an end, Hilla soon received the cooperation agreement with the Key family. The price the Key family gave her was really low,

which made Hilla very satisfied.

The things that satisfied her the most were Stefan’s style of doing things, which was unlike the Hutt family’s flattery and would not make her feel uncomfortable.

She got the best price, and of course, she also helped Stefan with a small favor.

In short, they didn’t owe each other anything, and when they met each other, they would be strangers again.

“Mrs. Anderson, I’m really sorry. I’m afraid that we won’t be able to sign this agreement.”

The director hurried over to look for her. It could be seen that he was also very anxious.

Hilla was about to pack her things and return to the countryside when she suddenly heard this and was stunned.

“Was something wrong?”

The director nodded. “There is a batch of silk required, which is very special. Originally, our factory placed an order, but today, news came from the silk factory that the silk was all ordered by someone else.”

“You said all the silk was ordered?”

Hilla was stunned and didn’t come to herself for a while.

This was the drawback of the Key Group. They only made cloth but did not produce silk, and their raw materials also needed to be supplied.

Without silk, the gauze and silk she had ordered could not be weaved.

“Yes, and I contacted a few other partners today. However, their silk was also bought.”

Without silk, they would not be able to deliver the goods as they wished, and it was impossible for them to sign a contract with Hilla.

After all, money was not a big deal, but the reputation of the Key Group was important.

Hilla furrowed her eyebrows. Who bought all the silk she needed? And coincidentally, it was when she needed it.

It was obviously planned!
