"Darling!"
It was midday, and as Billy walked out of the airport, he spotted an attractive figure approaching briskly-it was Harleen. Before boarding his flight to Ozin, Billy had called Harleen to check if she was still in Shenford, and she had informed him that she had returned to Ozin three days ago.
Knowing that Billy was returning to Ozin, Harleen had insisted on picking him up at the airport herself, telling him not to bother Judge with it.
"Thank you for coming, my dear." Billy greeted her with a smile, embracing her slender waist as they headed towards the car.
"Harleen, did you miss me, you came here to pick me up?" Billy teased.
"Don't flatter yourself. I'm here for an inspection to see if you've been hanging out with any beautiful ladies." Harleen replied, leaning into Billy's embrace with a playful expression.
"Haha, you're really that worried about me?" Billy kissed her gently on the forehead.
"Of course!" Harleen said with a hint of coyness. "Is that wrong?"
"No! You're right." Billy chuckled in response.
"Then, you have to be honest. Have you had meals alone with any beautiful women in the capital?" Harleen continued her questioning.
"Absolutely not!" Billy shook his head, smiling.
"Humph! I'll believe you when pigs fly," Harleen pouted. "But have you missed me during this time?"
"That's a given!" Billy smiled. "I dream about my wife every day."
"Hehe, it sounds fake, but I like hearing it!" Harleen giggled.
"It's true!" Billy responded with a smile.
Before long, the two of them were in the car.
"Honey, are you hungry? Shall we go grab some lunch?" Harleen suggested.
"Sure!" Billy agreed, stepping on the gas pedal.
An hour later, they arrived at a high-end Western restaurant and took their seats.
"Darling, I have something to show you," Harleen said excitedly after ordering their food. She took out a small pillbox from her handbag and handed it to Billy.
"What's this?" Billy asked, taking it with a faint smile.
"Can you guess?" Harleen's mood was upbeat.
"Could it be the finished product of Stout's skincare formula?" Billy took a sniff and smiled again.
"Correct!" Harleen exclaimed with excitement. "Honey, do you know how amazing this product is?" Without waiting for Billy's response, she continued enthusiastically, "It's true, just as Stout said. This cream combines three functions, hemostasis, scar removal, and skincare, and the results are remarkable! I had it compared with similar products on the market, and there's absolutely no competition. I believe it will become a bestseller once it's launched!"
"Really? Congratulations, my wife!" Billy asked, watching her excitement with joy.
"Thank you, darling!" Harleen smiled. "I've already discussed this with Mr Hines. I plan to establish a new company under the group to specialize in this product. This way, we can have clear ownership, and I can reserve some shares for Stout."
"Did Mr Hines agree to it?" Billy asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Harleen nodded vigorously. "He fully supports my idea and encouraged me to go ahead. He even offered me a share in the new company, but I declined."
