Raven drove back to the company late at night and went to the CEO’s office.
Throwing the coat in his hand onto the sofa, he put his hands on his hips and panted.
The private secretary rushed over, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw this scene. His chairman was still wearing pajamas and hotel slippers. He stood there alone and was very angry, really scary and a bit… cute… Like a husband who left home after the couple had an argument.
“President, why did you come back to the company so late? Did… Miss Paulo kick you out of the room…?
Before the private secretary finished speaking, Raven leaned to the side, his cold and uncomfortable eyes looking at him.
The personal secretary was so scared that he stiffened his neck and quickly fell silent.
Raven to the office chair and sat down. He casually raised his thin lips and said, “Call my psychologist. I have a problem that needs advice.”
The private secretary was stunned, “President, do you want to dial…Mrs. Armstead’s number? Now Mrs. Armstead is the top medical professor in the world, and you are acquaintances…
Mrs. Armstead? Oriana? Aren’t they acquaintances?
Raven thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone and dialed the number of his good’ brother, Deacon,
The melodious ringtone of the cell phone on the other side rang once, then, Deacon’s familiar deep voice slowly rang out: “Mr. Dominos, why did you call me so late?”
“What’s wrong, Mr. Armstead? Did I disturb your couple’s nightlife?”
“Tsk tsk, you said sinister words, full of envy and jealousy towards me, a married man!”
Raven somehow felt that the word “married”
in Deacon’s mouth was full of pompousness. He lightly smirked: “Where is your wife?”
“Mr. Dominos, you’ve gone too far. You called me late at night to care about my wife?”
“Compared to caring for your wife, don’t you think it’s more dangerous for me to care for you late at night?”
Deacon on the other side was silent for two seconds. To avoid ga y rumors, he said: “Okay, I’ll call my wife.”
Raven lazily sat straight on the back of the chair. The next second, Deacon’s sweet call reached his ears: “Baby! Baby! Baby!”
Raven felt the word “baby”
was heavy. “…”
At this moment, Oriana’s delicate voice rang out on the other end of the phone, “Honey, I’m here-
Raven hadn’t had time to recover from the sound of “baby”
when he was hit hard by the sound of “honey”.
“Baby, it’s Raven calling. He’s really annoying. Send him away. It’s time for us to
“Okay, honey. Go to bed first and wait for me. I’ll find you later, okay?”
“Then I’ll go warm the bed-to bed-
Hearing the couple on the other end talking. Raven was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone,
He was already in a bad mood and was forced to watch their romantic scene!
“Hey, Mr. Dominos, you were looking for me, right?”
Oriana answered the phone.
Raven tightened his grip on the phone, swallowing his saliva, “Mrs. Armstead, I have something to ask you about North.”
“North? Mr. Dominos, please tell me.”
“Do you know North can’t get pregnant?”
“Yes.”
As expected, this close friend Oriana knows everything.
“Why can’t she be pregnant? Born or acquired?”
Raven asked.
Oriana on the other end was silent for a few seconds: “Mr. Dominos, why don’t you ask North about this?”
“Don’t you want to say? It’s okay. Let me ask another way. North can’t be pregnant, but she’s also very afraid of being pregnant. At first I didn’t notice anything unusual, but now I feel like something is wrong. Every time I touched her, she repeatedly emphasized using contraceptive pills. This is not a topic that someone born unable to conceive would be interested in, unless… this inability to conceive is acquired, which is, artificial.”
Oriana wasn’t surprised. Someone as smart and alert as Raven would have doubts sooner or later, although this day came a little earlier than expected.
“From a medical perspective, it is very likely that North had suffered some kind of trauma before and had not yet recovered from it, so she developed a post-traumatic stress response.”
Oriana said.
Raven had no expression, his voice was indifferent without any emotion: “Then Mrs. Armstead, you will definitely not tell me this specific trauma, right?”
“Mr. Dominos, it’s not that I won’t tell you, it’s that I have no right. If North wants to tell you, she will tell you.”
Having finished speaking, Oriana hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy “beep”
sound on the other end, Raven threw the phone on the table, a mist covering his handsome eyebrows.
The private secretary carefully said: “President… President…”
Raven didn’t raise his head and said sadly: “Okay, you can go away.”
“So are you going to sleep in… the office tonight?”
The private secretary immediately looked at Raven with eyes as if to say: “President, you still don’t admit it. Miss Paulo kicked you out of the room.”
Raven angrily picked up a file and threw it at his personal secretary, “If you don’t want to go out, just stay and work overtime.”
The private secretary quickly ran away.
The president’s office was completely quiet. Raven was sitting in his office chair, feeling very confused for some reason, feeling extremely… insecure.
He didn’t know where this uneasy feeling came from. With his current position of power, he has nothing to fear.
North is not normal, at least in his opinion. Every time he touched her, she was like a thorny little hedgehog. On one hand she wanted to pierce him. On the other hand, she wanted to carefully protect herself, as if… she was secretly licking some unknown wound.
Oriana was hiding something from him, too.
Raven narrowed his beautiful eyes, a storm arose in his heart. Actually, he had a lot of speculation, such as…
Such as what?
In his mind. Raven pictured North leaving him at 18, with blood running down her legs…
Raven quickly closed his eyes, cutting off his speculation. He didn’t dare to think further. It seemed like there was a giant abyss below, making him scared, panicked and insecure. He felt like he was about to be swallowed.
North returned to the crew. Except for being a little pale, she looked normal.
At this moment, a “ding”
sounded, and the Messenger notification on her phone rang. North opened the message, it was from Oriana, Raven is already suspicious.”
What did he suspect? North knew that.
At this time, Oriana’s second text message came. “However, after one night. Raven still hasn’t done anything at all. This is not his style. He should send someone to resolutely dig up all of your past. But instead. he remained silent. North, there’s only one possibility. Raven is scared.”
North quietly read the message. At this time, Miss Jones walked over and said in a low voice: “North, Liliana is here. She went to the studio to pack her things.”
North hasn’t heard the name Liliana for a long time. The last time something happened, Liltana was already a useless chess piece. Old Master Dominos had long ago abandoned her, leaving her to fend for herself.
The crew of “Floating Life”
removed Liliana from the cast. Liliana avoided the spotlight for a while and went to the filming crew today to collect her belongings,
At this moment, North glanced at Liliana. Liliana looked at her with resentment and walked towards her.
North pretended not to notice, raised her eyes to look at Miss Jones, “Miss Jones, Raven is suspicious of my past, so you must keep it a secret.”
Miss Jones was stunned, not understanding what North was saying. She asked, “North, what are you talking about?”
“That’s because I got pregnant and had a miscarriage when I was 18, I couldn’t conceive again.”
Liliana refused to give in. When she saw North, she couldn’t help but step forward and wanted to make a sarcastic comment, but just as she got behind North, she heard the news explode.
Lillana was stunned. She froze on the spot. What? What did she hear just now?
North got pregnant and had a miscarriage at age 18?
Liliana suddenly forgot to breathe. Afraid of being discovered, she turned around and ran away.
At this moment, Miss Jones happened to see Liliana running away, Miss Jones’ expression changed, “Liliana! Sorry, North, Liliana heard what you just said! She will definitely run out and say bad. things about you. No, I will let someone go and capture her. We must gag her!”
Jones, let her go!”
North grabbed Miss Jones and said.
