Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 419 - 222: The Little Demon Accidentally Called Mommy, Part 2

Chapter 419: Chapter 222: The Little Demon Accidentally Called Mommy, Part 2

The lingering affection in the couple’s eyes was enviable. It wasn’t until the couple disappeared at the security checkpoint that Rebecca Quentin realized she had been staring for so long.

Retracting her gaze, she took out her phone to check the time.

The agreed time with the manager was almost up...

Just as Rebecca Quentin was about to put her phone back into her bag, it beeped with the sound of a new message.

She looked at her phone, and the message was already displayed on the screen.

"When will you answer my call? Do you really not want to see me anymore?"

The message was from Skyler Jones.

Rebecca hesitated for just a second before, as she had done for the past six months, directly deleting the message.

Putting her phone in the bag, she looked up and saw the manager entering the hall with luggage in tow.

Rebecca stood up from her seat and greeted the manager with a smile.

The manager smiled faintly upon seeing Rebecca, quickly approaching her with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I’m late."

Rebecca politely replied, "I arrived early."

"Let’s go to the security check."

"Okay."

With luggage in tow, the two of them headed towards the security checkpoint together.

At night, all passengers on the plane were asleep.

The manager closed his eyes and leaned against the seat.

Rebecca was sitting by the window; the cabin crew hadn’t closed the blinds yet, and as the plane ascended, the sprawling T City was reduced to tiny specks.

Rebecca stared out the window, lost in thought, until the manager’s concerned voice brought her back, "Can’t sleep?"

Rebecca returned to her senses and looked at her boss, replying softly, "Just a bit of insomnia."

"Insomnia typically means you’re thinking about something. A young girl like you wouldn’t have a lot on her mind, would you?"

Rebecca shook her head, "I have nothing on my mind." Indeed, she no longer wanted to think about anything.

The manager smiled, "When I was your age, the only thing I worried about was relationship issues. But at my age now, I feel worrying about relationships back then was really immature..."

Rebecca curiously asked, "How so?"

The manager, now interested, said, "Take me for example... After I turned twenty, my parents were always worried about my marriage. I, too, often wondered why I couldn’t meet someone I liked. Eventually, I fulfilled my parents’ wishes and started going on blind dates. For over a year, I kept going on blind dates but didn’t meet anyone suitable, or perhaps no one was interested in me. This dragged on until I turned thirty... At thirty, I began to see things differently; I was average looking, with no outstanding traits, so meeting an exceptional man was not easy. In the following years, I sought new support, which was developing my career. Despite my parents’ advice, I went to Japan to study MBA while working; since my Japanese was decent, I joined a Japanese company as a translator for the Flowery Kingdom. It was then that I met my current husband; he was my supervisor at the time, hiring me as a translator..."

"Wow, Manager, you have a picture of you and your husband on your desk. I always thought your husband was very elegant and handsome..."

The manager smiled contentedly, "Everyone says he’s good-looking, and I know that in terms of appearance, I don’t really match him... But fate is funny that way. He had many beautiful women around him, yet he never found the right one until he met me. We’ve been married for ten years now. He handed over the Japanese company to his subordinates to manage, staying with me in T City... Actually, with him, I don’t need to work, but I still want to enrich myself, which is why I have my current job, and my husband has never complained about me neglecting him for work, because he understands me and knows me." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The happiness from her boss affected Rebecca, and the emptiness that existed at the bottom of her eyes gradually faded, replaced by brilliance.

"So now, when I think back, I wonder why during my twenties to thirties I worried so much about relationship issues? Surely in this world, there is someone who won’t abandon you, who will stick by you through thick and thin, it’s just a matter of finding them. Your tangled past may actually be an insignificant episode in your life, and the right person might be waiting ahead..."

Her boss’s words enlightened Rebecca.

While she may not think her past is insignificant, indeed, in life, we don’t need to force anything; let everything run its course. Maybe as the manager said, when looking back in the future, she might only laugh at her current self, seeing it merely as an episode in life...

The plane smoothly landed at New York’s airport.

Arriving in New York also at night, perhaps her mindset had shifted, and tonight, for the first time in six months, she didn’t suffer from insomnia...

She took a comfortable bath at the hotel and, without feeling the jet lag, had a beautiful sleep.

The next day.

The manager took her to the "QCS" headquarters.

The headquarters was magnificent, and the fast-paced work style among colleagues was very invigorating.

The design director at headquarters immediately held a major meeting after the manager arrived...

In front of all the headquarters staff, the design director highly praised the manager’s work abilities at T City...

Since the behind-the-scenes boss of "QCS" has never appeared publicly, the most authoritative person is the design director at headquarters...

Rebecca never expected the headquarters’ design director would highly commend the head of a branch office at headquarters like this. Upon hearing that the design sketch submitted by the T City branch had been successfully picked up by a major company, Rebecca finally realized...

But what piqued Rebecca’s curiosity was what kind of company could have favored the T City branch’s design sketch to provoke such high praise from headquarters, then her ears caught the words "Skytop."

At that moment, Rebecca was momentarily stunned.

But she quickly congratulated the manager, joining colleagues in applause...

Turns out it was "Skytop," no wonder even a publicly listed company like "QCS" refers to "Skytop" as a major company. She understood the praise received by the manager.

For the design and decoration industry, "Skytop" should be the most desirable company for cooperation, right? If the design sketch is acknowledged by "Skytop," and utilized in future projects, "QCS" will certainly be greatly acclaimed...
