While speaking, Efren leaned closer.
At this moment, Efren’s gaze became darker as he focused solely on Georgia.
They had been married for quite some time now, so it wasn’t difficult for Georgia to detect the burning desire in Efren’s eyes.
The sunny weather and beautiful surroundings made it tempting to accept Efren’s advances.
However, with the nanny and the baby trailing behind them, she hesitated and gently pushed Efren away.
“Stop it. Go to deal with your business. I’ll take the baby for a walk and have a video conference later.”
Even after marriage, Georgia didn’t give up her career and continued to run her skincare brand.
With the network provided by the Hansen family and Efren’s support, her brand had seen great success, currently ranking among the top three beauty brands.
As a result, Georgia was recently selected as one of New
York’s Top Ten Business Women of the Year.
This title was a great honor that inspired her to strive even harder.
“You rarely take vacations, so you’d better enjoy yourself.”
Efren held Georgia’s delicate waist and refused to let go.
In fact, Efren didn’t want Georgia to immerse herself too much in the business world, fearing that she might suffer.
But Georgia replied,
“No, we are currently developing a new essence, which will be our flagship product for next year and determine our sales.”
“You are not short of money. Why are you working so hard?”
Efren pinched the tip of her nose.
Whether it was the wealth of the Hansen family or Efren’s own fortune, Georgia couldn’t possibly spend it all in her lifetime.
Thus, he didn’t see the need for her to earn money.
“I may have enough money, but I lack capability! You’re so superior and mighty. I must work hard to catch up and be worthy to stay by your side.”
Efren was taken aback to learn that Georgia’s relentless efforts in her company were all for him.
He couldn’t help but reach out to hold her close, whispering in her ear,
“Georgia, as long as you are by my side, it is the greatest support for me. I don’t need you to have any special abilities or talents.”
“But I don’t want to hear others say I’m not worthy of you.”
At that moment, Georgia felt deflated, like a punctured balloon.
Sensing her depression, Efren immediately inquired,
“Who said that?”
His eyes exuded a clear sense of killing intent, as if uttering a person’s name would lead to their utter destruction.
Georgia also noticed Efren’s anger and quickly reassured him,
“No one said anything in front of me. I’m just afraid of hearing such things from others.”
However, the truth was that even within the Serrano family, she occasionally overheard the servants gossiping about her.
They often said Georgia had no abilities and was just good at acting cute.
And if she hadn’t been born into the Hansen family, Efren would never have married her.
When Georgia first heard such comments, she left it behind and comforted herself that such gossips wouldn’t actually harm her.
But as she spent more time with Efren, she began to hear such comments more frequently.
This constant criticism made her doubt whether she was truly deserving of Efren.
These self??oubts took a toll on her, making it hard for her to enjoy her meals and sleep well.
During those anxious times, she lost chunks of hair, and her skin condition worsened.
She didn’t know how to alleviate this emotional burden and could only seek solace from Cora.
However, at Cora’s medical clinic, she saw Cora diligently treating her patients and heard all the praise showered on her.
Cora was one of the brightest stars in the field of medicine and had greatly benefited countless cancer patients.
Everyone only had compliments for Cora and no one dared to say that she had married above her station with Byron.
In fact, from what Georgia could feel, people believed that Byron could marry Cora only because he was extremely lucky.
It was from those praises that Georgia gained inspiration.
She also wanted to make a name for herself in the business world!
That way, when people saw her with Efren, they wouldn’t just think about Efren’s business empire, but also remember her!
From that day on, Georgia became extremely dedicated to every product she developed.
After working hard to bring her company to its current scale, she didn’t want Efren to dampen her enthusiasm.
“Even if someone says that, don’t take it to heart. Leave it to me to handle,”
Efren assured her. He chose to be with Georgia, but he never wanted to burden her.
“Okay, I get it.”
Georgia smiled and added,
“Your assistant is here. I guess Mr. Hayden Gollust has arrived too.”
Hayden was the person Efren was planning to collaborate with in developing the Bay Chip for the Bob Group.
“Then I’ll go see him first. Enjoy yourself for a while longer before joining the video conference.”
Efren kissed Georgia’s cheek and whispered in her ear,
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If anyone dares to say anything in front of you, I’ll make them regret of having a mouth.”
“Okay. Go ahead.”
Georgia quickly pushed Efren away.
In fact, she didn’t understand the meaning behind Efren’s words, thinking that he just wanted to discourage others from speaking ill of her.
She felt that what Efren had done to her was witnessed by the nanny and the child, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
Seeing Georgia in good spirits, Efren instructed the servants at the manor to take care of her while he started his discussion with Hayden.
Hayden wasn’t alone; he brought along a very attractive woman named Freya Mcbride.
She had fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, the type that men couldn’t help but be enamored with.
During their business discussion, Hayden had Freya pouring drinks for Efren.
“Mr. Serrano, Freya has been with me for many years, and I’ve never allowed her to be with anyone else..”
Freya listened to Hayden’s words and bit her lips until they were as pale as her face.
However, Hayden continued to signal her to approach Efren.
Reluctantly, Freya sat next to Efren.
Efren looked at them with indifference, even lighting up a cigarette.
Seeing that Efren didn’t do anything, Hayden urged her,
“Don’t be so dumb. Hurry up and toast Mr. Serrano!”
Freya finally raised her glass and said,
“Mr. Serrano, I’ve heard so much about you. This toast is for you.”
However, Efren didn’t drink or say anything.
His handsome face remained expressionless, leaving Hayden puzzled. He gave Freya another signal.
So, Freya mustered up her courage, attempting to clink her glass with Efren’s.
But before she could do so, Efren held the burning cigarette closer, and the crimson glow pointed directly at Freya’s arm.
Freya wasn’t stupid, so she quickly understood Efren’s rejection and had to put down her glass.
“Leave us. I’ll call you later,”
Hayden said to Freya.
Hayden knew that Efren wasn’t interested in Freya, so he had to give up for now.
Freya hurriedly got up and left.
After Freya left, Hayden couldn’t help but ask Efren,
“Mr.Serrano, are you really not interested in her? As far as I know,
Freya and your wife are very alike.”
This was the reason he had brought Freya here.
He wanted to use Freya to convince Efren to compromise 20%
in their collaboration,
This way, Hayden could secure a larger share of the Gollust family’s inheritance division.
As for Freya…
Although she had been with him since high school, her family background was too poor.
Therefore, Hayden had never brought her back to the Gollust family.
However, he thought he had treated her well, showering her with numerous pieces of jewelry and even maintaining their relationship despite his recent engagement to a wealthy young lady from a suitable family.
Hayden believed that he had given Freya everything he could, except for marriage.
