A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 10

"Ashley Mu?"

Hearing the voice of Edward Xi, the pencil in my hand fell to the ground without my control.

I lifted my head in shock and saw Betty Fang and Edward walking down from the coffee shop upstairs.

Betty and Edward really followed like a shadow. She wore a V-neck knitted dress with a pure white fur patch. Her delicate make- up and charming smile made her look noble.

"Mrs. Xi, what are you doing?" She glanced at me and looked at the client beside me.

I worried that Edward would find that I was working, so I lied immediately, "This is... a professor of my university."

The client looked at me in surprise but said nothing. Edward looked at me indifferently with a cold face.

I was even more nervous.

"Edward, let's go. Do not disturb Ashley from reminiscing with her teacher." Betty held Edward's arm and smiled meaningfully at me.

The word "Professor" was said in an emphasized tone by her.

Obviously, she had even seen that this client could not be my professor.

It was my fault that I told a lie which could be seen through easily in such an urgent situation.

This was a male client. Although he was in his thirties, he was handsome, and because of the happy event in his family, his whole face was full of happiness, so he looked like the same age as me.

Edward stared at my client for a long time, and his eyes were terribly gloomy. I didn't know why he would behave like that.

Fortunately, it was probably that Betty had something urgent to do and dragged him away.

Looking at the home- wrecker and my husband leaving in front of me, I suppressed the sadness and annoyance in my heart and apologized to my client, "Sorry, it was an emergency just now, so..."

"Who is that man?" The client asked suspiciously.

I pursed my lips. It's hard to answer. I couldn't tell him that the man is my husband.

"He is very hostile to me." Seeing that I didn't answer, the client smiled and said, "He is probably jealous."

"How could it be?" I laughed and shook my head. Would Edward be jealous just because I was with the other man?

It was obviously impossible. He must be afraid that I showed up outside and lost his face!

After discussing the wedding dress design, without saying too much, the client signed the contract cheerfully.

I packed my things and hurried back to the Xis to prepare dinner. Edward sat on the sofa and held a glass of red wine in his hand, stared at the wine in a daze.

I was shocked to see him. I thought that he would definitely accompany Betty tonight, but I didn't expect that he would come back.

"Who is that man today?" Edward looked at me, put down the red wine, and said coldly.

"It's my... professor of the university." I felt a chill on my back, but I could only hold on my excuse.

"Bang", Edward heavily hit the table with his palm.

He stood up and approached me. He pinched my chin with his slender fingers and said coldly, "Ashley, do you treat me as a fool? That man is the director of the design department of Dafeng Wedding Dress. You said he was your college professor? Hmm?"

It turned out that Edward knew that man?

I lowered my eyelids and whispered, "He is my client. I am now working in Amy Lin's company."
