Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 105

Yvonne wanted to agree to go out with her, but she remembered that she had to go to the family residence beforehand that night just so that she could attend the following remembrance day. So, she rejected her directly.

"I'm sorry, Lyn. I'm afraid I can't go out with you tonight. Why don't we postpone it to two days later?"

"Are you busy tonight?" Lynette asked.

Yvonne was quiet for around two seconds. "Yes, it’s a family affair."

"Fine. We'll meet up two days later. Don't you let me down this time around,” Lynette joked with her playfully.

Yvonne gave a firm nod. "Sure."

She heaved a soft sigh of relief after she hung up the phone. She held the glass of water and took a sip. Then, she got up and walked toward Henry’s office.

"Please come in!" She heard his cold voice.

Yvonne opened the door and entered his office. "Mr. Lancaster."

"Why are you here?" Henry glanced at her. "Are you done sorting out the data yet?" "No." Yvonne shook her head.

"Then why did you come here?" Henry averted his gaze and continued to read through the documents.

Yvonne stood before his working desk. "I'm here because I want to ask you whether you’re the one who gave Lyn a promotion."

"Are you talking about Lynette?"

"Yes."

"Yes, it's me."

Yvonne was not too surprised when he admitted to it. I n fact, she had guessed the truth.

She was just curious why he did so.

She voiced that out as she was thinking about it.

Without looking up, Henry signed the documents as h e answered her, "I remember you told me that she’s your only friend. She takes quite good care of you, isn't that right?”

"Yes. But how is it related to her promotion?" Yvonne was puzzled.

Henry put aside the documents he had just finished reading. "There’s not much of a relation. Since she's your friend, I did that just to thank her for taking care of you all this while.”

Yvonne was indeed shocked. Her jaw dropped. She found her voice after a long while. "So you did that for me?”

"Is there any problem with it?" Henry looked up at her.

Yvonne straightened her body. "Yes. Why did you do such a thing for me?"

Henry was speechless when she asked her that. 1

His eyes became dull, and there was an indiscernible emotion in him.

It was true indeed. He wondered why he acted unfairly and promoted an ordinary employee who did not contribute much to the company.

Moreover, he had no reason to do so.

Was it because of the fact that Lynette had always taken good care of Yvonne? But what did it have to do with him?

Henry pursed his thin lips, suppressing the eager answer which was about to surface from deep inside his heart. He replied without any facial expression," There's no reason why. I did so because I wanted to.”

That was true indeed. That idea came to him all of a sudden, and he did not do such a thing especially for her sake. Henry reminded himself secretly.

But he gradually tightened his grasp around the pen. H e was filled with a tinge of guilt which was unknown t o him.

Yvonne did not notice the strangeness in him. Her eyelids were drooping as she lowered her eyes in disappointment. "Fine. I understand it now."

Although she did not get the answer she was looking for, she was quite content with it.

At least the reason Lynette got promoted was because of her.

"Is there anything else?" Henry knocked on the table slightly.

Yvonne waved her hands. "Nothing else."

"If you've got nothing else to ask, it's my turn then." Henry's eyes became cold all of a sudden.

Yvonne was slightly worried. "Did I... do something wrong?"

Her body turned stiff as she became cautious before him.

Henry narrowed his eyes. "Do you have any kind of contact with Elliot?"

"Elliot?" Yvonne was slightly stunned. "Are you talking about the CEO from Taylor Group?”

Henry did not make any response. He acquiesced.

Yvonne denied it immediately. "No. I'm not close to M r. Taylor. How would I ever contact him? I showed you my phone last time. I indeed do not have his contact number."
