Yvette Jordan was taken aback. When she went upstairs just now, she realized that she had carelessly left her bag in the restaurant and came down to retrieve it. She never expected to see her husband Chuck inside.
Chuck Cannon was in despair. If Yvette knew that he was the 'baller', she would definitely be angry, right?
He sighed and was about to confess.
After all, he was using the identity of the 'baller' to help her. She would not be too angry, would she?
He was about to say something when he was interrupted by Wilbur.
Wilbur Wendel had put on his stern businessman look and pretended to scold Chuck, "Chuck, what's wrong with you? You couldn't even handle such a minor issue and you have to disturb me during my meal. Are you going to disturb me in the middle of my business too?"
Chuck was speechless, but he was pretty fond of Wilbur now. He was a pretty good friend.
At least he was smart.
Hearing this, Yvette's heart ached. Was her husband here to apologize to Wilbur because of some business issues?
Yvette quickly came to Chuck's defense, "I'm sorry, my husband won't do it again." She didn't want to see her husband being wronged.
"Fine, since you've apologized for your husband, I'll let it go this time. Pay more attention to your work next time, do you understand?" Wilbur berated and pretended to storm out of the room.
He left to find Zabrina Yalden. After all, they were going to wrap up their shooting at the plaza in a few days. He had to take that opportunity to confess to her.
Chuck and Yvette heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly comforted him, "Hubby, don't worry. This happens quite often when you're working. Why don't you take a few days off and rest up?"
Chuck shook his head and refused, "No need."
Chuck knew that despite being under a lot of pressure, Yvette was still very concerned about him. He sighed helplessly. Yvette should have told him about her problems.
"Well, hubby, do you want to go to my office?" Yvette was worried that Chuck would be targeted by those people again.
Chuck was thinking of sending Yvette the money as soon as possible, so he couldn't go to her office at the moment. He came up with an excuse and said, "Honey, I'm going to learn boxing in the afternoon."
Yvette was still worried, "Okay. Hubby, be careful,"
"I will."
"I'll be going then." Yvette grabbed her bag and left for her company. The minute she disappeared from his sight, Chuck immediately called Yolanda and asked her to transfer 700,000 dollars to him. In less than a minute, the money was transferred into his account. Chuck transferred it to Yvette and said, "Loan sharks are pretty vicious. You need to pay off your loans first. What if something goes wrong and your husband becomes aware of it?"
He was relieved after sending the message.
Chuck saw that the message was still unseen, so he thought that Yvette was probably too busy to check her phone.
He was ready to go to the boxing house, Just as he was about to leave the restaurant, he met Queenie Carson, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. She was wearing a waitress' uniform. Was she working here?
Queenie was surprised. It was summer vacation so she was doing three part-time jobs at once to ensure she could pay for her tuition fees and continue studying. After all, she had a gigantic quarrel with her aunt.
Chuck greeted her politely, "How's it going? Are you used to the new place yet?"
Queenie asked softly, "I'm very well. Thank you. How... how are things going with Teacher Jordan?" They were most likely already living together. However, she couldn't help thinking of what she did that night with Chuck.
She really couldn't forget it. For the past few nights, she had been constantly dreaming of that night and how she woke up weak in her knees and feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"Um, I live in her house." Chuck didn't think it was necessary to hide anything from Queenie since she knew about his relationship with Yvette. However, he was still slightly awkward. A slight glance of her hand would remind him of that night.
It was.... exciting but guilt-tripping. Nevertheless, it was pretty addictive.
The two of them were embarrassed.
"I won't bother you then."
"Yeah, I'll leave first then."
"Okay."
