Chapter 92 Nonsense
Hubert glanced at the spaghetti on her plate and felt more depressed. She was enjoying her supper! He was angry, but she had been eating spaghetti calmly beside him.
What a heartless woman!
After all, they were different from common couples. They had no feelings for each other, so they were more like life partners.
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Hubert asked in a deep voice, "Is Miss Lisbon the young lady of the Lisbon Group? Why did she go to visit you? How did know each other?"
Even though he knew the answer, he still asked the question. It was Sophie that had told him about it. And he had never mentioned Sophie in front of Teresa before.
Teresa then told him how she and Sophie had met, which was the same as what the latter had said.
"Miss Lisbon came to visit me because she wanted to tell me how she loves Young Master Donovan. She is pursuing him but can't get support from her family, so she is depressed. She also asked me about how to chase after him."
Hearing this, Hubert raised his eyebrows. Sophie had asked Teresa how to pursue him.
He asked calmly, "Do you have any idea? Have you ever pursued men before?"
"No, I haven't. My first love ended at the beginning. I can be said to have no experience in romantic relationships at all." Teresa turned her head to look at him and continued, "Of course, I am better than you. You are like a blank piece of paper! Ha-ha! When I touched your face, you jumped up and guarded against me as if I were a pervert."
Hearing this, Hubert glared at her with a gloomy face.
Teresa let out a hollow laugh and then hurriedly ate her spaghetti. She finished it quickly and boasted, "The spaghetti I cooked is delicious."
"We'll have spaghetti tomorrow morning."
What?
Hubert couldn't help reaching out to poke her forehead and said, "You kept boasting about your delicious spaghetti because you want me to try it, right? We'll eat spaghetti tomorrow."
Teresa pushed his big hand away and said, "My cooking skills are indeed good. Your family members also said the food I cooked was delicious. Fine! If you want to eat it, I'll cook it for you tomorrow."
"Did you give Miss Lisbon any advice on how to pursue Young Master Donovan?"
"Yeah! I asked her to try her best to pester him and create some accidents on his must-pass way. He cannot watch her die even though he may be stonehearted, right? As long as he helps her, she will get a chance to get along with him. Feelings come from spending time together. But now, they just don't have the chance to be alone at all. By the way, I don't know what he looks like. Last time, I accompanied Gwen to a banquet, and he was also there. But too many people were surrounding d him, and there was a large group of bodyguards, so I did not see his face."
Teresa looked up at Hubert and said, "You work at the Donovan Group, but you can't see your boss, let alone outsiders. To be honest, I think he is too arrogant. He should not have refused to get along with Miss Lisbon. If he tries to hang out with her, he'll fall in love with her."
Hubert worked hard to suppress his surging anger, maintained a calm face, and said coldly, "My boss will never fall in love with Miss Lisbon. Teresa, you'd better stay out of this matter. If he finds out you gave Miss Lisbon advice to pursue him, he may get angry and retaliate against you. Your bookstore may be closed down. And I may be fired because I am your husband."
Teresa blinked and asked, "He is so narrow-minded? But everyone has the right to love. What's wrong with Miss Lisbon falling in love with him? He is an old man! I heard that no one else has ever pursued him before and that he has never dated anyone. He should have felt happy that Miss Lisbon is pursuing him. It proved that he is still a bit attractive. He should have been grateful to her."
Hubert thought she was talking nonsense. Moreover, he was only thirty years old! Why had she said he was an old man? And she had said so more than once! If he had not been good at controlling himself, he would have revealed his identity to her in a fit of anger.
Hubert held back his anger and defended himself, saying, "My boss is young! He is not an old man!"
Teresa looked at him and said, "But you have never met him, right? How do you know he's not an old man? If he were young, he would not have been able to manage the huge Donovan Group! I barely pay attention to the business circle, but I know the Donovan Group is powerful in Waternll City. It is on par with a company in Astroy City."
Hubert said, "The Rosatte Group."
The Rosatte Group was a business leader in Astroy City just like the Donovan Group in Waternll City. And the Rosatte family was also very wealthy. And their president Benedict Rosatte was even one year younger than Hubert.
The Rosatte Group had a branch in Waternll City, but its business had no conflict with the Donovan Group, so they could coexist with each other.
"I don't know that company's name. But it's enormously powerful, anyway. If your boss were still young, he would not have been able to suppress the old executives, right? Since he can secure the position of president, he must have the final say in your company!"
Seeing him nodding, she added, "So, he must be old. If he had no experience and courage, he would not have been to suppress the old executives."
Hubert was speechless. Her analysis sounded quite reasonable, but he was indeed not that old. Of course, if a thirty-year-old man was also regarded as an old man now, he would admit it.
"I like Miss Lisbon. She is bravely pursuing her true love. Young Master Donovan is single. So, I am supportive of her. I will not shift my ground unless he gets married or has a girlfriend. Miss Lisbon said if he gets married or starts dating another woman, she will give up without hesitation. She is a proud woman who will never steal another woman's man. I think she is quite righteous. She will never become "the other woman" in the name of pursuing true love."
When Hubert heard this, his black eyes flickered with excitement.
He thought he could tell Sophie that he was married. Of course, he would not tell her his wife was Teresa. Sophie might not be a bad person. But he was not sure whether she would harm Teresa after knowing she was his wife. As long as they didn't divorce, Teresa would always be his wife, so he must protect her.
"Did Miss Lisbon say so?"
"Yes."
"My boss is extremely annoyed that she pesters him every day. I can tell him what she said. Maybe he will get married right away to get rid of her."
Teresa laughed, "Hubert, based on what you know about him, do you think he is that kind of person? He doesn't even have a girlfriend! Who will he marry? Of course, if he tells others that he wants to get married, many people will come forward. But will he be willing to marry a woman for whom he has no feelings?"
Hubert thought to himself, "But I did marry a woman who I have no feelings for!"
