Chapter 36 Chapter 36: At that moment, Joey came up to me. She pulled me aside to the balcony and whispered, "Why did you suddenly announce your marriage? Did you really find a backup? Hank? Did you force him to marry you?" Joey asked me. "I'm really married." Then I explained everything that happened yesterday to Joey. She patted me on the shoulder excitedly and said, "Bella, you're lucky!" I couldn't help but laugh. "I'm unlucky." "Anyway, you and the big boss are now legally married. You might get a lot of benefits if you please him more!" Joey said with a smile. "Do you think Herbert is a fool? Didn't you see the agreement? He has thought of everything." Thinking about the agreement, I didn't know why my heart felt so heavy. "At least you and your child are living a comfortable life now. Even if you get divorced in the future, you won't have to worry about a house and cash. Hey, how come I can't meet someone like that? Not to mention the house and cash, even Herbert is very attractive!" Joey said. I didn't answer her, but the sadness in my heart eased a little. Things had developed this far. All I could do now was try my best to focus on the positives. Mₒᵣₑ ᵤₚdₐₜₑₛ ᵢₙ gₐₗₙₒᵥₑₗₛ.ₒₘ "My so-called husband hasn't contacted me for an entire week. When he said he'd contact me later that day in the car, I thought it was just a casual comment. I didn't expect him to actually take it seriously." I couldn't help but laugh at my own naivety. That afternoon, I suddenly received a call from Hank. "Why haven't you contacted me for so many days?" "I've been a little... busy lately." Since I got the marriage certificate, I hadn't contacted Hank. I wanted to find the right time to tell him that I was married. I didn't want to waste his time, but I kept putting it off. Today seemed like a good opportunity. "Do you have time for lunch? I'll be working near your company at noon." Hank invited me. "Okay." I agreed because I thought it was the right time to clarify things with Hank. "Great! Let's meet at a Western restaurant downstairs at 12 PM. Bye!" Hank hung up. I glanced over and saw a few gossiping female colleagues staring at me, watching me on my phone. For the past few days, they'd been asking why my husband hadn't come to pick me up, and why I didn't get love calls. It was obvious that they thought my marriage was fake. These people were so boring! But, after all, I had to work with them for a long time, so I had to care about what they thought. . . .
