Chapter 702 A Chance Encounter (Part Four)

"An ordinary employee? Then why would go out of his way just to save an ordinary employee, even putting his neck on the line that he literally got injured for that? And in return, I donated blood to save him! Is that what you mean by a normal relationship between a boss and an ordinary employee?" inquired Greg nonchalantly. He had frozen entirely with anger, and even the beautiful, affable woman sitting right next to him couldn't melt the icey layer that had now encrusted his heart in a flash without prior warning.

"So what explanation do you want from me?" asked Violet calmly. She hadn't expected that her first quarrel with Greg after marriage would arise so soon and escalate by petty altercations. Did Greg distrust her? Or was he merely oversensitive? Greg knew she once worked in the GR Group before they got married, and he also knew Roger got injured while trying to save her. If he couldn't accept all those things, why did he marry her? And she would not have promised to marry him so easily if she had known that he would care so much about those things! She loved Greg very much, and she was willing to do everything for him.

"It's not an expensive gift. It's just some desserts. We can have some after lunch," replied Violet.

"So you meant that you'll have lunch with me?" asked Mond in surprise. Yesterday, he received a phone call from Violet, and she said she would come to visit him today. He thought she'd only stay for a brief chat like she always did. He was elated to hear she'd stay longer and even have a meal with him. It was so long ago when they last had a meal together.

"Of course I will. The nanny just told me that she prepared the dishes I like, and Aunt is abroad. I know you are lonely to have lunch alone, so I came here early to have lunch with you," said Violet, putting her head on Mond's shoulder. She felt close to him like his daughter.

"Alright, alright. It's very kind of you, my sweetie," replied Mond with a grin on his face.
