apter 35 Chapter 35 Lewis said casually , I work at Hartman Group , but its mostly just running errands . Im nowhere near Mr. Hartmans level So , youre in logistics ? Lola asked . Yeah , something like that , Lewis said with a nod . Geeze , even the logistics guys at Hartman Group are so tall and handsome . What a competitive field , Lola muttered under her breath . Do you know more like you ? You know , tall , good looking , and well built ? Maybe we could all get together for a drink sometime . Doris was afraid that Lolas flirt mode would make things awkward for Lewis , so she quickly interrupted , Arent you supposed to drop off the clothes ? Hurry up , dont keep him waiting . Right , Ill excuse myself , Lewis said . He glanced at Doris and added , Take care of yourself , and be sure to head home early after shopping . Ill see you later . Got it , Doris replied . With that , she tugged Lola towards the womens store theyd just come from . Lola sighed dramatically while staring at her , Hey , are we still best friends ? I just wanted your husband to introduce me to a good looking guy . Its not like Im after your man , okay ? Why you gotta be so stingy ? Its been forever since I had a boyfriend . You got married , and I really want a new relationship . Dont act like youre drunk , Doris shot back , cutting straight to the point . You just broke up with your ex a month ago , okay ? When you dumped him , he almost cried his eyes out . He even begged you to stay and said hed change to be the way you like . But you told him straight up that you were over it and he couldnt change . Thats basically the textbook definition of a playgirl . You never took those guys seriously . If Lewis introduced you to one of his colleagues and you got bored , what would you do ? Kick him to the curb ? Imagine how awkward it will be when Lewis sees his colleague . Come on , Lola , you can play your games with whoever , but dont drag Lewis into it . Tsk , didnt know you were that protective after just getting married , Lola teased , but she let it slide . But seriously , Doris , your husband is seriously hot . I bet he makes you enjoy a lot , huh ? Doriss face went bright red , as if someone had just put her in a pot of hot water . Were still not that close . And you told me to test him and figure out if he has any character issues , remember ? Did I say that ? Lola turned to look at Doris , her eyebrows raising in confusion . Doris was totally taken aback , and before she could stop herself , she pinched Lolas arm . Come on , girl . Youre the dates- before mates type ! You mustve misheard . Lola denied it and added with a grin , With Lewis being so handsome and charming , I believe hes a good guy . You can just tell by looking at him . Doris shot Lola a deadpan look . Seriously , Doris , youve gotta make sure you hold on to him tight . Lola winked at Doris . Doris sighed , totally defeated by Lolas obsession with looks . She shook her shoulders and warned her , Lola , get real ! Lola said , Lewis totally outshines Ryan . You should take him to meet Ryan and rub it in . I bet Ryan will be pissed off . 1/3 Chapter 35 Theyve already met . Ryan wasnt too happy about it , to say the least , Doris said , feeling pleased inside . Good job ! He deserves that . Lola burst out laughing . But hold on , you and Lewis havent done the deed yet , right ? Hes not one of those pretty faces with nothing underneath , is he ? Thats a big deal , Doris . If he really has an issue in that aspect , you might wanna cut your losses before its too late ? Lola , can you shut up ? Doris gritted her teeth in frustration . Doris was really uncomfortable discussing this with Lola . Even though she was married , she was still a virgin . Im married in a flash , okay ? Even if hes good looking , Im not gonna throw myself at him yet . Doris made it clear , emphasizing how there was no chance of any intimacy , Look , with Lewiss looks , body , and charm , you wouldnt just not throw yourself at him youd be lucky to catch him ! Hes literally every womans dream man . You better hold on tight , or someone else might steal him away from you . Dont come crying to me if that happens , Lola said with a mix of envy and sarcasm in her voice . Seriously , when can I have a handsome guy like that ? Im so jealous ? Doris flicked Lola lightly on her forehead and sighed , Youre hopeless . Well , at least Ive got some ambition , Lola quipped , raising her eyebrows smugly . Doris shot Lola a cold look and said nothing . Do you want me to give you a few tips on how to lock him down ? Lola flashed a mischievous grin . Doris shook her head without hesitation . Seriously , you dont want my secret tips ? Lola pressed on , not ready to give up . You can save that for causing trouble for someone else , Doris said while pushing Lola toward the door . Dont you need to buy clothes ? Why are you so shy all of a sudden ? Your face is all red , Lola teased , deliberately making things awkward . Im not shy . Its just too hot here , Doris shot back , her tone defensive . Come on , lets geting going . By the time Doris and Lola finished shopping and headed home , it was already 9:30 p.m. Doris had gotten used to Biscuit pouncing on her and tugging at her pants whenever she came through the door . Hearing the noise , Lewis came out of his study . He grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen and was about to head back to his room . Doris handed a plate of sliced apples and casually said , Here , have some fruit to keep your vitamins up . Lewis leaned against the back of the sofa , her eyes narrowing slightly . Whats going on ? Got a minute ? Lets talk , Doris said while patting the space next to her on the sofa . Lewis sat down , crossing his legs casually and speaking , You have five minutes . Doris glanced at him , her voice turning a little sheepish . Remember when I dropped off those pastries at your company ? I thought you were just the driver , but turns out youre in logistics . Sorry about that . Drivers or logistics personnel are just doing the work . It doesnt matter . Lewis didnt mind at all . As long as no one knew he was the actual heir of the Hartman family , he was fine . He added , I think Im returning to my work . 2/3 Chapter #15 Wait , what work do you have after work ? Sounds like youre a CFO or something . You guys work that hard ? Doris joked , somewhat amazed . She thought her hotel job was tough enough , yet Lewiss job sounded way tougher Lewis sighed , clearly getting a bit impatient . Whats the point of this small talk ? With a mysterious smile , Doris said , I heard your companys party is gonna be held at our hotel , Word is , the main event is about your boss picking his future wife . Do you know who itll be Lewis shrugged and said calmly , Why would a small employee like me know anything about that ? Doris leaned in to whisper , Its definitely Zoe . Theyve been childhood friends , and I heard that when Ms. Wilkinson went abroad a few years ago , Mr. Hartman followed her there . What a touching love story Lewis couldnt help but think , Really ? Thats the story theyre spreading ? And Im apparently out of the loop ? May I ask who told you that Mr. Hartman likes Ms. Wilkinson ? She went abroad for school , and Mr. Hartman was just there for work . The timing and location were just coincidences . Its not what the rumors said Lewis cleared the air , his tone cold but firm . Wilkinson is so beautiful , and they grew up together . Are you telling me Mr. Hartman doesnt like her ? Is he really going to pick someone else ? I mean , she likes him , doesnt she ? Is your boss really that cruel to break her heart ? Doris shook her head and muttered . Rich guys always have their cake and eat it too . Just because they have money , they think they can take other womens love for granted . Thats a total jerk . Money cant buy anything , dont they know ? Doris said with anger . In her mind , she couldnt help but think about Ryan . He did the same thing to her . After spending three years together , he still secretly got engaged to another woman . Then , he wanted her to be his mistress . Lewis was getting fed up . He just wanted to shut down Doriss endless chatter about people who werent even involved . He hated to hear those baseless accusations against him . Doris , stop believing all the gossip . And for the love of God , stop worrying about other peoples lives . Just worry about your own business , Lewis snapped , his icy gaze settling on her . 3/3 AD Comment Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
