Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 814

"We're just friends," Shirley replied perfunctorily. She didn't want to fall out with them.

She was swamped with work the entire morning. It wasn't until 11.00AM that her phone on the table vibrated momentarily. When she took a look, she realized it was a message from Wade. 'When are you getting off? I'll pick you up.'

Then, her phone buzzed again as another message appeared on the screen. 'Thanks for taking care of my mother in the past two days. I'd like to treat you to a meal. I hope you won't turn me down.'

As Shirley went through the messages, a smile played on her lips. Her fingers flew over the keyboard on the screen as she replied, 'Why would I turn you down? It's a free meal, after all. I'm getting off at 11.30AM. See you later.'

She was more than willing to take care of Wade's mother, and it was the least she could do. All the same, she knew that he had been in a terrible mood, so she thought she could cheer him up by having a meal and a conversation with him.

'Alright. See you soon,' Wade replied to her a moment later.

'Alright.' Shirley then put down her phone and continued working.

Time seemed to fly when one was busy. Soon, it was time for her to leave the office. Jayden and Shawn came over and asked, "Do you have any plans, Shir?"

"We're going to have lunch together. Do you want to join us?"

Since they were now aware of Shirley's relationship with Skyler and Garrick, they were cautious whenever they talked to her—it was to the point where they had started fawning over her. They were worried that if they upset Shirley, she would express her grievances to Skyler, who then might acquire Vincere Games.

"I have some plans, so I won't be joining you guys." Shirley turned them down politely.

The two of them waved their hands and turned around to leave the office.
