Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 681

"Oh."

Shirley nodded and pursed her red lips. Even though she knew that Wade had things he hadn't said, she didn't know how to ask him about it.

With her head bowed slightly, she frowned and thought carefully before adding, "You… can let me know if you face any difficulties. I may not have a lot of money, but I can still help you if it won't take too much money."

Shirley had been working for Veronica ever since she graduated from university, and had decent savings from her frugal way of living.

Even though it wasn't a lot of money, she was willing to lend a hand if Wade needed help.

"Hehe." Wade smiled upon seeing how sincere she was. "You telling me this is enough for me."

Sighing, he couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face. "I was going to borrow some money from you, but I can imagine how hard it is for a woman to be earning her keep. Plus, I can't return the money anytime soon, so I borrowed one million from my friend instead.

When he said that he borrowed money from a 'friend', Shirley knew that the person he was talking about was probably the boss of the Horizon Group, Talila Gibson. However, Shirley was more than willing to believe him, since he told her that he was borrowing money from Talila.

"Your friend treats you real good. They even lent you one million. I am envious."

She intentionally said that to get more information out of him.

"It is nothing, really." Wade shook his head and tilted his body, his eyes staring into the horizon. "You might laugh, but I have actually already resigned from Starshine. I borrowed money from the president of the Horizon Group, but she requested for me to be her male secretary in return."

"What?" Shirley exclaimed, her big eyes filled with disbelief.

She didn't think Skyler was right.

Shriley's eyes were wide open due to the extreme surprise. When Wade turned back and met her eyes, there was a trace of sadness in his own. "I am not made to be a model. I have just been mediocre throughout the many years, and I can't make much money. I have only signed a five-year contract as her secretary with her. I will be free after five years."

For his mother, he had no other choice.

After all, one million was no small amount. He was but a small-time model. He wasn't wealthy by any means.
