Chapter 38 Chapter 38: Seeing the message, I felt a little embarrassed because I had already agreed to Hank's invitation. I thought about it for a moment. I didn't want to provoke Herbert, so I made an excuse and called Hank to make another appointment. But as I was about to call Hank, I saw that it was getting late. I quickly dialed his number, but he didn't pick up. He must have set his phone to airplane mode again-he usually did that when he had classes or meetings. At this time, it was time to get off work. Everyone was heading out for dinner, so I grabbed my bag and was about to leave. Joey came over and smiled. "How about I treat you to something else?" "No, I have to go to the VIP restaurant," I said, leaning closer to her ear. Joey immediately stared at me, her eyes wide. "Five-star restaurant? You really are the boss's wife now. Take me with you!" I said seriously, "Herbert asked me to go. I don't know what he wants to do! It's great to have you with me." "Your husband invites you to dinner. It's not appropriate for me to go." After that, Joey walked off. I shook my head and went to the restaurant alone. The restaurant was a five-star place right across from the company. The dishes were impeccable, and the price was equally as high. People like me usually couldn't afford such a place. ｍｅ ｕｄｔｅｓ ｎ ɢｌｖｌ. On the second floor, I immediately spotted Connor waiting for me by the stairs. In the company, he was the only one who knew the true nature of my relationship with Herbert. "Mrs. Mr. Wharton, over here," Connor called, leading me to meet Herbert. I didn't immediately enter. Instead, I looked at Connor and said with a smile, "You're too polite. You can just call me by my name in the future." Why did I feel uncomfortable when I heard the word "wife"? And it was very likely that Herbert would divorce me once I gave birth to the child. The title of Mrs. Wharton didn't truly belong to me. Connor laughed and said, "Right now, you are Mrs. Wharton. If I address you incorrectly, he will blame me." My heart tightened in an instant. "Could it be that this is what Mr. Wharton asked him to call me?" Out of courtesy, I smiled at Connor, then turned and entered the private room. It was a single private room, decorated very luxuriously. The table was full of all kinds of delicacies, but no one was seated yet. I looked up and saw a figure in a black suit standing by the window. As soon as I entered, he turned around, quickly put out the cigarette butt in his hand, and said, "Let's eat." Herbert took the lead and sat in the leader's seat. I glanced at the empty chairs, hesitated for a moment, and then chose the seat to the left of Herbert and sat down. Only then did I notice that there was no meat on the table. It was all vegetables. I wanted to eat meat! What was going on? Was the BOSS not only overbearing but also stingy? Bella's POV: "Why aren't you eating?" Herbert asked me. . . .
