Jannie was startled at first, but quickly recovered. "Barbara has experienced that kind of injury and betrayal, and has no one to rely on for the past three years. Just as she was speaking, 

Leo stopped and turned to look at her gloomily. Jannie immediately said, "But you will love her in the future."...... 

The meeting room was on the 23rd floor, and the Business Department was on the 19th floor. When the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the door was opened. 

Sally from the Public Relations Department walked in. Barbara did not like Sally, so she stood to the side, and did not want to greet. 

Sally glanced at Barbara and looked up, "Someone, don't think that no one would know of the ugly things that they did in the past in a different city." 

Barbara listened and decided not to waste her energy on Sally who could cause trouble. 

Barbara's indifferent attitude angered Sally, she turned and glared at Barbara, "Barbara, don't you know that our CEO is married?" 

Barbara pursed her lips and smiled. If she didn't know that Leo was married, then who else would? Sally wanted to hook up with Leo, so she thought that it would be the same for Barbara as well. 

Thus, she said, "CEO had asked Jannie to send an internal email this morning to announce to everyone in the company that he has got married." 

Barbara was so busy with the matter of the Grand Corporation's tender today that she didn't even look at the internal mail of the company. 

Now that she knew, she couldn't help feeling sweet.Leo said that when he saw other men being close to her, he would be jealous.

Thinking of this, Barbara laughed, and couldn't help laughing.It was unrealistic for Sally to fantasy about Leo. When she knew that Leo was married this morning, she turned cold. 

After being depressed for half a day, she wanted to invite someone to be depressed along with her. As soon as she thought of it, she thought of Barbara. 

She wanted Barbara to feel what she had felt, but Barbara was calm, making her angry. Sally angrily stomped. 

Gritting her teeth, she thought that she couldn't do anything to Barbara now, but there would be a day when she would know Barbara's weakness, making her unable to act so arrogantly. 

Because of yesterday's lesson, Barbara did not waste even a moment after getting off work today. 

She rushed home as quickly as possible, hoping to make dinner before Leo got off work. While going to the supermarket to buy ingredients, Barbara dialed Leo's number. 

When Barbara called, she found that Leo was having a temporary meeting with a few higher—ups. He raised his hand to indicate everyone to quiet down before he answered the phone. 

"What's the matter?"Barbara said, "I'm in the supermarket, do you have anything you like to eat?" Leo said calmly, "I am not picky with food, you can decide." 

When Leo said this, Jannie and Todd were already beside him. Hearing his words, they looked at each other at the same time. 

If their CEO was not picky with food, then there was probably no one in this world who was picky with food. When Leo returned home, he found Barbara busy working in the kitchen.

She was wearing an apron, and her long black hair was tied up in a random bun, revealing her fair neck. It wasn't hard for him to imagine her doing well at work when he saw her like that. 

Leo looked at her in a daze for a while before walking into the kitchen. "Barbara, I'm back." Barbara turned around and smiled lightly, "Go and change your clothes first, we will start eating soon." 

Leo stood there without moving, "Barbara..."Barbara did not stop moving, she turned around and looked at him, "What's wrong?" 

"I'm going to change." Leo had initially said that he wouldn't need her to cook after work, so he only asked servant to prepare the dishes. 

However, he felt that it wasn't bad eating the food cooked by his wife. He liked the life, that when he returned home from work, he would be able to eat food personally cooked by his wife, not everything was prepared by his servant. 

Barbara prepared three dishes and a soup. There was a sliced chicken, an onion fried meat, a fried lotus root and a golden needle mushroom soup. 

Noticing that Leo was only eating light dishes at noon, Barbara guessed that he liked light food, and cooked some of these common dishes.

 Leo changed his clothes and came out, the dishes were already on the table. 

Seeing the onion on the table, he frowned slightly, but very quickly, nothing happened. Barbara brought the soup up and scooped a bowl for Leo.

 "I've been busy all day, let's drink a bowl of soup first. ""Alright." Leo took the bowl and took a sip. Barbara picked up another onion and placed it into Leo's bowl.

 "Onion is very healthy, eat more.""Alright." Leo nodded.However, he did not immediately eat. Instead, he slowly drank the soup.

He finished one bowl and added another. He also ate a few pieces of White Chicken and Lotus Root Starch, but he did not touch the onions she put in his bowl. When Barbara realized this, she started to swobble with her head down, feeling sad. 

Barbara did not speak anymore, and Leo also did not like speaking at the table, so it was extremely quiet. After finishing his meal, Leo was in charge of washing the dishes. Without saying anything, he turned and returned to his room. 

She clearly knew that the relationship between them wasn't that close, but if she saw how much he despised her food, she would still feel sad. 

But she thought again, their marriage was not based on love, only for the sake of marriage. Although they were already hus band and wife, neither of them understood each other. 

Neither of them was close enough to help each other with food. She had been careless. In the future, she would try to respect him as much as possible and would never overdo again. 

After thinking it through, Barbara no longer bothered about the matter just now. She turned on her computer and prepared to take a closer look at the Grand Project's proposal. 

Friday was the opening date. With so many people busy for so long, they definitely could not allow to make any mistakes. 

Just as Barbara opened the folder, her phone rang. Barbara saw that it was her best friend, Freda. When she picked up the call, she heard Freda shouting angrily, "You damned girl, where are you? Why didn't you tell me about the move? Do you want to scare me? 

" Freda was Barbara's high school and university classmate. Back then, when Barbara had betrayed her family and friends, she was the only one standing by her side. 

Barbara decided to come to Barcelona to work. Freda did not even think about it, and dragged a simple luggage with her as she left the bustling capital city and came to Barcelona. 

She was worried that Barbara would do something stupid by herself. She originally wanted to accompany Barbara for two months, and only turned back to the capital after Barbara had calmed down.  

But in the end, they felt that Barcelona, this new big international city, was not bad too. 

Freda and Barbara settled down together, and they took out all their money to open a bridal design studio. 

Barbara needed money, accurately speaking, she thought that no matter how intimate they were, she couldn't rely on anyone. 

Only money could give her a sense of security. She needed an extra job to earn money, so she entered into the Wing. 

Thus, she just invested and didn't participate in the management of the bridal design room. 

But Freda knew that this was only one of the reasons, the real reason was because Barbara was no longer willing to draw a wedding drawing board with a brush, so Barbara chose to work in a job that was completely out of the field of painting. 

It was a wound that Barbara had buried the deepest in her heart, and even now, no one had been able to help her heal it. 

In the front of Freda, Barbara had absolutely no privacy at all. She had wanted to ask Freda out this weekend to discuss the matter of his marriage with her, but unexpectedly, Freda had gone ahead of time to find her at her rented place. 

Barbara listened quietly, and after Freda finished roaring, she said softly, "Freda, don't worry, I'm fine. 

The work on the Grand Project will be done this Friday. I'll treat you to a meal during the weekend." 

Freda shouted angrily, "Stupid girl, you scared me, do you think a meal can compensate me for my mental loss?" Barbara knew that Freda was kind, and could not help laughing,

 "Then, how about sleeping with you for a night to compensate you?" When Barbara said this, the moment Leo opened the door and walked in, he already knew who Barbara was talking to on the phone. 

Barbara was usually warm and gentle. She seemed to be close to anyone, but in reality, the only person that could get close to her was Freda. 

Leo knew about all this, but Barbara did not know about it. She quickly covered her cell phone and whispered, "This is my female friend." 

Regardless of whether or not she loved him, in the name of husband and wife, she would not do something that would make Leo jealous. 

Leo nodded and did not ask too much. However, Barbara thought that Leo did not believe her. She pursed her lips and laughed helplessly, maybe he thought that she was the wantonly woman.

 "Barbara, Barbara..." She did not hear Barbara's words, but Freda shouted out, "Give me the address, I'll go and look for you." 

Barbara knew that Freda was worried about her. If she didn't let Freda see that she was fine today, she would definitely call the police to find her. 

Barbara smiled gently, "Stop messing around, I'll go find you." After hanging up, 

Barbara packed up simply and prepared to stay over with Freda for the night and honestly explain the matter of registering for the marriage. 

She knocked on the door of the study and heard Leo's permission before she pushed the door and entered, "Leo, I'm going over to Freda's place tonight, I'm not coming back." 

Leo immediately stood up, "I'll drive you there." Barbara shook her head, "No need to trouble you." Leo stared at her, "It's too late, I can't be at ease going out by yourself." His tone sounded very unyielding, making Barbara unable to refuse. 

Leo's car was a Range Rover. For someone like him, a car wasn't considered expensive, but it was spacious and comfortable. 

Leo drove the car very safely, and he also looked steady. Leo asked her for the address, and after Barbara gave him the address, they did not have any other conversations. 

After almost an hour, they reached. Barbara thanked him and was about to open the car door, but Leo reached out and grabbed her. "Barbara..." 

His voice sounded low, sexy and always pleasant when he called her name. Barbara glanced at his hand, then looked up. 

She asked him softly, "Is there anything else?" He let her go and said somewhat uncomfortably, "Are you angry?" Barbara laughed,

 "Why should I be angry?"Leo, "..."Barbara opened her car door and got off, then stood outside and said, "Quickly go back, drive carefully." 

Leo nodded, started the car and left. After watching him car drive off for a distance, Barbara turned around and walked towards the direction of Freda's residential area.  

When they first arrived at Barcelona, Barbara and Freda lived together. After that, Barbara went to work at the Wing, and because it was too far away, she moved to a nearby company to rent a house. 

After Barbara moved away, Freda stayed in the house and especially left a room for her. As Freda said, she wanted Barbara to go back to her home and take a look anytime. 

Seeing that Barbara was fine in front of her, Freda couldn't be bothered with her anymore. She hugged her IPAD and watched the series. 

Freda ignored her, but her pomeranian pounced at Barbara's feet, kissing and wagging its tail. It was obviously overjoyed. 

Barbara casually threw away her bag, and picked up the little guy, "Em, do you miss your mother?" It cries as it crawled into Barbara's embrace, using its action to show how much it missed her mother.

 Freda looked over in dissatisfaction, "Em, you little glutton! Even though you are her biological, I have raised you for more time than she has. 

It's fine if you don't want to kiss me, but instead, you have to show your love in front of me. " Barbara walked to Freda and said proudly,

 "Honey is a smart guy, and knows who's the mother and who's the stepmother." "I'm a stepmother?" Freda threw the IPAD into her embrace and said arrogantly, "Girl, be careful that I might poison your daughter." 

Barbara still did not speak, and her Honey continued to bark to express its dissatisfaction with Freda. Seeing such a cute dog, Barbara was overjoyed. 

She rubbed its face gently, saying, "My daughter is still the most considerate of me." Freda blinked at Barbara, "If you want your daughter, then find a man to marry to, and marry him as much as you want to." 

Barbara looked at Freda and suddenly said seriously, "Freda, I've registered the marriage." "Get off!" Freda pointed at the door, but quickly realized that Barbara would not make such a joke towards her. 

It took a long time for her to say anything, "Of course, who is that man?"Barbara said, "It's that man called Leo that you introduced to me last time." "Leo?" 

Freda scratched her head, and seriously recalled the name, thinking for a long time but not having the slightest impression, "The person I introduced you to, is not someone called Leo."

Hearing Freda's words, Barbara was stunned for a moment. She once seriously tried to recall the situation on the day of the blind date."Of course …" 

Freda nervously grabbed Barbara's hand, "Tell me what it is all about."She was really worried that Barbara would be fooled by that liar. 

Barbara explained in detail about the matter of the blind date registering for the marriage, and how Leo was a new CEO of her company. 

She was shock when she heard it, "Barbara, what should I say?" Freda took back the IPAD that was thrown to the side again and quickly opened up a web page to search for the Leo that possessed the Wing. 

At the same time, she nagged, "I think that Leo is definitely a bald old man with a large belly. Before she finished speaking, Freda was stunned by the pictures on the internet. 

Although there were only two photos from the press conference that day, it was enough to see his unparalleled appearance. 

Freda said excitedly, "Stinky girl, quickly give me a slap, and let me know that I am not dreaming." Barbara obediently slapped Freda's back,

 "It's the person you saw." Freda danced as she said, "Such a handsome man, and above all, such a capable man is your husband. 

You've been out of luck for so many years, are you lucky now?" Barbara did not have the mood to joke around with Freda, so she asked,

 "Do you mean Leo was not the man you introduced to me?" Freda said, "Actually, it was also me. "It's a client of the studio. 

He told me that he had some good men by his side, and I immediately thought of you, so.." Barbara grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it towards Freda,

 "Girl, how much worried are you that I won't be able to get married?" "I'm not worried that you won't be able to get married, 

I'm worried that you won't want to." Freda suddenly hugged Barbara, feeling both happy and sad. "Of course, you have to be happier than anyone else. 

Barbara patted Freda's back and said gently, "Freda, the past is already the past. I won't trap myself within. I will live happily, not for the sake of slapping others a few times, but for my own sake.

 "Freda was very happy when she thought like this. She quickly went to the refrigerator to get two cans of beer, "Stinky girl, I wish you a happy marriage! In the future, you have to be happy and blissful.

 If Leo dares to bully you, don't be afraid, I will be with you. " Speaking of Leo, Barbara was still very satisfied, and smiled, "Although we don't have any love, but I believe him, so I think we should be able to continue on." 

That night, Barbara and Freda chatted for a long time, and they chatted until it was completely bright. 

However, after an entire night of discussion, Freda could finally relax. It was great that Barbara was willing to accept others.......She did not sleep throughout the night, so Barbara woke up early to pack up and go to the company. 

She valued her work more than anything, and no matter how tired she was, she could not bear to leave it behind. When Leo ate lunch together with her, he noticed that Barbara was not as spirited as she used to be. 

After eating, he said considerately, "Barbara, there's a room to rest in. 

Go and rest for an hour." Barbara wanted to say did not trouble, but Leo looked concerned, she stopped. Although there was no love, but as her husband, Leo was extremely qualified, and he truly cared about her. 

Furthermore, without a good spirit, her efficiency would naturally be decreased. Barbara understood this logic. The resting room was next door to Room 1808. 

The decoration was very fresh and simple, and looked comfortable. Leo pulled the curtains tightly, making the room to become much darker. In that moment, Barbara felt even sleepier. 

Leo walked back to his bed and sat down, then pulled a quilt over Barbara, "Sleep, I'll wake you up when it's time." Barbara tried not to be asleep, 

"Aren't you going to rest?" Leo said, "I slept very well last night, I'm not sleepy today." "Yes." Barbara nodded obediently and fell asleep in a while. Leo sat on the side of the bed and did not leave. 

As Leo thought, Barbara was not a woman who would amaze others with a single glance, but she looked more and more beautiful. 

Here eye brows were like a painting, her eyelashes were long, and her eyes were crystal clear. Her skin looked very good, and she was very well—proportioned. It was precisely her seemingly gentle yet very tough personality that attracted him. 

He felt that living with her should be happy. Barbara slept confidently. She had believed that Leo would definitely wake her up on time, but she had never expected that it would turn dark the moment she woke up. 

Tomorrow was the bidding day for the Grand Corporation's tendering project, yet Barbara had made such a mistake the day before. 

Shep pursed her lips and looked at Leo angrily. Leo, however, replied indifferently, "I got Jannie to help you ask for a leave of absence. 

You have also been well—prepared for the Grand's work, so you don't have to worry. " Even if Barbara was very angry, as her big boss said, how could she still be angry? 

However, she still could not easily compromise and said, "Next time, I can't do this again." In life, Barbara was very easy to talk to, but when it came to work, she was very strict with herself. Leo nodded, "Then let's go eat dinner first. 

"Barbara turned around and walked outside as she muttered to herself, "Do all men like to lie?" Hearing Barbara's words, Leo looked sullen. 

She wanted to explain, but in the end, she did not say anything. Although he saw that Barbara was too tired and let her rest longer, he still did not keep his promise. 

The Grand Corporation took about half a month to bid, and the Wing obtained the Grand tender project with absolute superiority. 

 In order to reward everyone, Jannie sent out an email. This weekend, the company would organize a two—day trip to Bentley. 

When they heard this news, everyone in the company boiled over.Bentley was a top tourist leisure industry developed by the richest in Europe, including guesthouse area, golf course area, natural hot spring area, and all kinds of leisure facilities and equipment. 

It was said that the housing price one night was so expensive that ordinary people would not even dare to think about it. The guests were all super wealthy businessmen and visiting heads of state. 

Other than the Zenith Group's own employees, no other company had ever had such luxurious treatment for their employees.
