Drowning Him In Regret

Chapter 22 You Make Me Sick

I knew the supplier. It had only worked with the Carson Group once or twice

before, so we were not super familiar.

When I got to their company, they were clearly pretty pissed.

"Mrs. Carson, what a rare visit. Not busy at your company anymore?

"Our small biz might not be able to provide proper hospitality to the esteemed guests from the Carson Group." Russell Morrison glanced up, blowing on his coffee as he spoke.

Knowing it was the Carson Group's fault this time, I wasn't being too tough.

Over the years, I might not have learned much else, but I did learn how to show weakness to business partners.

Sometimes there really was a gender advantage in the business world.

Russell was still there after work hours, which actually proved he was waiting for someone from the Carson Group since no one else but they could supply so quickly.

After a lot of nice talk, Russell's expression softened a lot, though he still wasn't giving in. "We already gave the Carson Group the lowest price, even rushed production without extra charge. Not paying now is really too much."

"You're absolutely right. It's our fault this time, but if you agree, we can make the payment right away." I pushed the documents right in front of him.

"Mr. Morrison, we actually have several big projects coming up that will need even more materials.

"I know your company isn't short of partners, but stable cooperation? It's

beneficial for both sides, right?"

Russell flipped through the documents, his eyes flickering.

Even though Jude was just the president of a subsidiary, everyone knew he might be

the future head of the HQ.

If they could get in with the Carson Group, at least seven years of guaranteed profits would be secured.

Seeing he was tempted, I pulled out more cooperation cases and profit analyses.

In the end, Russell was swayed by me. "Mrs. Carson, you really are good with words. I used to think..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but got iter

Everyone thought I was a quiet type, never Saying anything even when cheated

on.

I laughed somewhat awkwardly, "Guess it's out of necessity. Mr. Carson sent me here. I didn't dare not come. Lucky to meet you, otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to

talk so much."

My role as the jilted, bitter woman truly came in handy,

People in the circle all felt sorry for me, and Russell stopped giving me a hard time.

But he insisted I promise to partner with him on the next project before he agreed to supply at the original price.

Having wrapped up this matter, I was in a fantastic mood,

As soon as the goods arrived, I'd have 150 thousand dollars in my account this month. I wouldn't have to worry about money anymore, at least for a while.

After taking my meds, I wanted to sleep soundly but was woken up by Jude's call.

Thung up a few times, but he kept calling back.

Thinking if something happened to him, I might not get the money anytime soon. I finally swallowed my pride and picked up.

"Come pick me up, Blue Moon." His voice came through.

"Can't, already sleeping."

Just as I was about to hang up, Rafferty's voice came from the other end. "Ada, just come over. Jude's drunk and acting crazy, calling everyone wife.

"Please, if you don't come soon, I'm gonna get 'taken care of' by him right here." Rafferty's voice was hoarse like he was really quite anxious.

As one of Jude's few circle friends, Rafferty was good to me, so after thinking it over, I

got up.

It was not ideal to let people actually see Jude's drunken antics. If something happened, I, as his nominal wife, would still have to clean up the mess.

When I arrived at the bar, Jude was indeed already quite drunk. Seeing me, he immediately rushed over, mumbling, "Honey, you're here.

"They're all bad people, saying you wouldn't come. I knew you cared about me." He kept kissing my neck, which made my scalp tingling.

But no matter how hard I pushed, I couldn't get him off. In the end, I just let him hold

1. me.

Meanwhile, Rafferty patted his chest like he had survived a disaster. "Ada, if you didn't come, I really would've knocked him out. He's too scary."

Then he looked me up and down. "No wonder they call you the campus belle. You look like a college student."/

Rushed out in a hurry, I only had a white dress on.

This was my favorite type back in my school days, and the first dress Jude bought

menoveldrama

was white, too.

Jude shoved him away, giving him the stink eye. "Hands off my wife, scram."

Seeing his adorably fierce look, I burst out laughing.

He used to give that same glare to my suitors back in school, except he called me his girlfriend" then.

Just as I was reminiscing, Vivian's voice, all teary, came from behind. “Jude.” Hearing this, Jude stiffened slightly, then quickly let go of me. "Vivian? You..."

He gave me a suspicious look, then his eyes cleared up with a hint of disgust. "Ada, you're sickening. Trying to win me back, you're copying Vivian's style now? You don't really think I'd go home with you, do you?"

I glanced at Vivian-she was indeed in a white dress just like mine, looking like my college self.

I wiped the spot on my neck, where he just kissed with disdain, sneering, "Jude, stop

dialing the wrong number next time, and I won't be picking you up anymore.

"Never."
