Chapter 109

Book:Billionaire's Exclusive Wife Published:2024-5-1

I stood by the sea for half an hour before I turned and walked away slowly.
At night, I looked at the empty room, and I felt as if something was missing.
In order not to see things, I packed Romeo’s toys and daily necessities and carried them into the basement.
After that, I posted the sales news on the Internet and began to look for the houses in City H.
There is no particularly good primary school on Butterfly Island. So in order to continue living with Romeo, although I don’t like City H, I … seem to have no other choice.
Early the next morning, I picked up my mobile phone and looked through the news. News about me didn’t appear on the Internet yet, So I relaxed a lot. After breakfast, I went downstairs and rode an electric car to leave the community.
Arriving at the company, Lara got up and said, “Krista, a word from City H. It was said that the meeting was two hours early. Let’s get there early.”
“So suddenly?”
“Who could say no? These people are really interesting. There is no reason to change your mind temporarily in such a big meeting. What if there is no ticket left after?”
I patted her on the shoulder. “This group of businessmen only look at their own interests. They won’t care about our inconvenience. Pack up and get ready to go.”
I went back to the office, cleaned up briefly, and left the company with Lara.
We went to the dock and successfully bought tickets.
The whole boat journey is less than five minutes, which is very close.
When we arrived at City H across the sea from Butterfly Island, I took my assistant Lara to lunch and then came to the Wood Construction Engineering Company, which is the construction unit of the Hope Bridge designated by City H.
When I first came to the Wood Construction Engineering Company to bid with the design drawings, three designers of this company selected mine among the dozens of works that finally entered the third selection.
This made Lockie proud of me for more than half a month.
Entering the conference room, I greeted several designers of this company. But several designers don’t want to talk to me.
I didn’t care, so I sat down at the conference table.
After a while, the chief engineer in charge of the project came in from the outside.
He looked at me and said, “Here we are. I changed the meeting time temporarily and thought you would be late.”
I smiled. “No, I will choose to swim for such an important meeting even if there is no ticket.”
I winked at Lara, who got up and sent the prepared documents to the participants one by one.
The chief engineer said, “Before today’s meeting begins, I want to announce one thing to you. Because of the funding problem, the Wood Construction Engineering Company has been raising funds. Just yesterday, our company officially succeeded in raising funds, and the largest shareholder of the company changed hands. Now, our major shareholders have a requirement, that is, the selected person must join their engineering team in the construction of the Hope Bridge. Now, we warmly welcome our major shareholders to the conference room to say hello to everyone. ”
The chief engineer said, then walked to the door of the conference room, opened the door, and respectfully said to the door, “Mr. Cheney, please come in.”
I sat in the front position, and when I saw Cheney coming in through the door, I was stunned.
Others are welcoming Cheney with warm applause. I was stiff all the way and did not move.
Cheney didn’t look at me and walked straight to the front of the conference table.
He calmly waved his hand and said to everyone, “I am Cheney. I came here today to say hello to everyone. In the future, during the construction of the Hope Bridge, if there are any problems that cannot be solved, you can pass the chief engineer or…”
He turned his eyes and looked at me. “Designer Miss Krista came to me to solve it, the Fischer group, and the most important thing is resources and talents.”
When he finished, everyone applauded warmly again.
Cheney looked away from me and said to the chief engineer with a cold face. “That’s it. Next, we will have a meeting.”
He said, and instead of leaving, he sat down directly into his chair.
The chief engineer said to me, “Miss Krista, now, let’s talk about the matters needing attention in this project. Everyone present also put down the part that belongs to their own responsibility, and hope that there will be no problems during the construction process.”
My hands trembled slightly and my thoughts were completely confused.
On the side, Lara saw that I didn’t move and handed me the information. “Krista, this is the information you asked for.”
I recovered and reminded myself to calm down.
Standing up, I walked to the computer desk opposite the conference table, inserted the USB flash drive, and turned on the projector and PPT.
My eyes did not sweep Cheney, but tried to focus on the meeting. “Hello everyone, I am Krista. I will put forward some suggestions and opinions on the construction of the Hope Bridge. If there are any imperfections or mistakes, I hope everyone can correct them in time and discuss them together.”
As I said, I looked back at the screen. “This project will be carried out in half a month. Before our construction personnel and engineering equipment are transferred to the site, I hope…”
After talking for more than half an hour, I told all the problems that will be encountered and inevitable in the construction, and I returned to my seat.
The chief engineer nodded admiringly to me and got up to make a summary of the meeting.
The meeting is over.
Just as everyone was about to leave the conference room, Cheney said to the chief engineer, “Tonight, I invite everyone to have dinner at the Moor Hotel. At that time, I hope the chief engineer will lead all the people present. If someone can’t make an excuse, it’s not to give me face. At that time, don’t blame me for my ruthless actions. This project doesn’t need people without team spirit to participate.”
The chief engineer nodded. “Mr. Cheney, rest assured that I will take everyone with me.”
Cheney gave me a look and then turned away.
After Cheney left, the chief engineer turned back to the conference room. “You heard him. You don’t have to work overtime for a while. Everyone goes downstairs early. I will ask the company to arrange a shuttle bus to take us to the Moor Hotel.”
I said, “Chief Engineer, I’m not an employee of the company, so I won’t go to this party. We have to take the last boat back to Butterfly Island later, so we’ll leave first.”
“No, no, no, didn’t you hear what Mr. Cheney said just now? He asked everyone in the conference room to be here, which has nothing to do with whether you are an employee of our company or not.”
I’m having a headache. I don’t want to go to the party at all, not at all.
“But… we really have to go back. After the meeting, we can’t buy tickets.”
“Miss Krista, you are an excellent designer, but in the workplace, no matter how excellent people are, the Fischer group is famous for its talents in the industry. It takes minutes to change your design scheme. You said that if you lost the opportunity to participate in the project because you offended Mr. Cheney by not going to the dinner party, wouldn’t it be worth the loss? If you can’t go back to Butterfly Island without a ticket today, then go back tomorrow. There are hotels everywhere in City H. Can you still sleep on the street? ”
On the side, Lara also said, “Krista, what the chief engineer said is reasonable, otherwise, let’s go.”
I breathed, hesitating.
In the conference room, people have left one after another.
The chief engineer said, “Miss Krista, I’m done here. You can do the rest by yourself. If you offend Mr. Cheney, no one can help you talk about it with him. In an hour and a half, we will gather at the company gate. If you don’t come, we won’t wait for you.”
Everyone left one after another, and the assistant looked at me and said, “What should we do?”
I sighed, what else can I do?
Since Cheney is here, it’s not my escape that can solve the problem.
I smiled at Lara. “Let’s go.” I said. 
Lara clapped her hands a little happily, and I frowned. “Why are you so happy?”
“Krista, Mr. Cheney is so handsome. I can have dinner with Mr. Cheney, and I can wake up laughing in my dreams.”
I looked at her and smiled helplessly. “You can really exaggerate.”
As I packed up my papers, I said, “Let’s go and book a hotel first.”
I am thankful that the city I chose in those days was a relatively backward fourth-tier city.
Here, many people may know Cheney, but not many people know his past private life.
In particular, it’s been six years since my affair with him.
Six years… The great ship of history has already crushed my existence, and even the slag is not left.
After booking a hotel, I came to the door of the company with Lara. Several commercial vehicles sent by the company have already stopped at the door.
I took Lara into one of the cars and came to the Moor Hotel with everyone in fear.
The downstairs manager heard that they were from the Wood Construction Engineering Company and immediately took them to the small cafeteria upstairs.
Today, it was prepared in Cheney’s words, and the buffet inside was prepared according to the highest specifications in the hotel.
Lara stamped her feet happily. “Krista, we made a lot of money today. There are so many delicious foods that I can show off for several days. Fortunately, we didn’t leave.”
I smiled and watched her “eat food.”
She looked happy. “Krista, find a place to sit, and I’ll help you get food. What do you want to eat?”
“I can do it myself, I’m not a picky eater, you can take what you like.”
After I finished, I went to the corner, found a seat and sat down.
I’m not in the mood to eat now. I just want to deal with it quickly and leave.
Lara was so picky that she didn’t come back for a long time.
Just then, Cheney came. He was followed by two executives at the Wood Construction Engineering Company.
He stepped towards me.
I was nervous and prayed that he wouldn’t come.
But… prayer is ineffective.
Cheney had come to the chair beside me and sat down.
Two executives called the chief engineer, and three people sat down with Cheney.
Manager Sharp said, “Mr. Cheney, what would you like to eat? Shall I get it for you?”
“Don’t bother Manager Sharp,” Cheney said and looked at me. “Miss Krista, can you help me get my meal?”
This is the first thing Cheney said to me after we met again.
I swallowed and stood up. “What would Mr. Cheney like to eat?”
“I will eat whatever you take.”
I left my seat, took the plate and brought him some food. When I came back, Cheney was alone at the table.
The three executives also went to pick up meals.
I walked slowly over and put the plate in front of him.
He pulled the plate over without looking at me.
I sat down in my seat just now, hesitating to say something.
Just then, the chief engineer came back with Lara.
