Ethan Sterling, a man always aloof and abstinent, drove to pick me up. Surprisingly, he let his new assistant sit in the passenger seat. I knew then that this marriage couldn't be saved. 1 That day, Ethan Sterling drove to pick me up. When I opened the passenger door, I was stunned. A young and pretty girl was sitting in the passenger seat, smiling sweetly at me. "Hello, Mrs. Sterling!" The girl greeted me politely. But she had no intention of getting up to give me the seat. I narrowed my eyes slightly and turned my gaze to Ethan. Ethan lowered his eyes to answer the phone, not noticing the turbulent undercurrent here. We had agreed to go to an auction together today. I was looking forward to this date with him and had dressed up carefully, but I didn't expect someone else to be sitting in his passenger seat. "Hello, Mrs. Sterling, my name is Bella White. I'm Mr. Sterling's new assistant." The girl's lips curled into a warm smile. Two shallow dimples appeared, looking exceptionally sweet. "I heard you are going to a private auction tonight, so I begged Mr. Sterling to take me along to broaden my horizons. Don't worry, I definitely won't disturb you." My heart sank instantly. I knew this aloof and perfect man in front of me too well. He had always kept a distance from others. He wouldn't let others step into his territory easily. We came together through an arranged marriage. After much consideration, we chose each other. Outsiders joked that I would be living like a widow. But after confirming the relationship. Ethan would hug me with gentle eyes. When passionate, his eyes would also turn slightly red. He said: "You are my wife. Husband and wife are one body. You are naturally different from others." Today, something seemed to have changed. 2 But I am not a dodder flower who swallows insults silently. I am Summer Xia, who never needs to look at anyone's face when angry. "Get out!" I drove her away with a cold face, showing no mercy. The girl was stunned for a long time. She didn't expect that I would embarrass her directly upon our first meeting. Perhaps my tone was too cold and hard. Bella was at a loss for a moment. "So... sorry, Mrs. Sterling." The girl's voice carried a hint of crying as she moved to the back seat dejectedly. Ethan just finished his call and looked at us. He realized I was angry. Helplessness and indulgence spread across his face. The man leaned over to fasten my seatbelt. Noticing the seat had been adjusted, I readjusted it extremely impatiently. All this fuss made me furious. "So annoying, why does someone dare to adjust my passenger seat!" The air pressure inside the car dropped, and the girl was too scared to speak again. Ethan frowned slightly. He suggested calmly. "If you're in a bad mood today, we'll go home first." The woman in the rearview mirror was weeping silently. I felt incredibly annoyed. "Bella, right? I'm not in the mood to go now. You take a taxi back yourself. Mr. Sterling and I are going home." The girl's face was pale as she looked weakly at Ethan. The man had no intention of bail her out. The girl got out of the car in despair. 3 Ethan wouldn't embarrass me in front of outsiders. He always knew how to control his emotions. So he suggested: go home. If there's an issue, solve it at home. This is our tacit understanding for many years. "She's just a college student who just entered society. Why do you bicker with her over these things?" Ethan pulled me into his arms. "First time." Ethan was puzzled: "What?" "In so many years, this is the first time you let another woman sit in your passenger seat." The man didn't expect that this was what I cared about. The circle knows how excellent Ethan is. Countless women like him. But he kept himself clean. Flowers dazzle the eyes, but none stick to him. Ethan smiled faintly and rubbed my stray hair. "Can't believe this made you jealous." The man leaned down to kiss me, his nose brushing my cheek. "She is my subordinate, nothing more. "I won't have any other relationship with her." Ethan cupped my face, gazing into my eyes. He made a promise in a deep voice. 4 A woman's sixth sense is always accurate. Even though I had only met Bella once. Intuition told me that this girl definitely had other ideas about Ethan. I thought the initial display of power was enough. Unexpectedly, the auction necklace that should have been given to me was worn on the girl's neck the next day. Ethan's chief assistant, Heidi, sent me a photo and a screenshot of a WeChat Moment. In the photo, the crescent diamond necklace hung on Bella's fair neck, making her look even more charming and lovely. The girl's eyes were red and swollen, but there was a smile on her lips. Presumably, she cried a lot last night after going home. And received someone's gift. In the screenshot, it was Bella's Moment: [The President said girls should be strong even when wronged! [Wipe away tears, yes sir, my President!] A few cute emojis of clenched fists cheering. And a picture of the necklace in the box. At that moment, my blood almost coagulated. Although hard to admit, I must confess. I was provoked by her almost to the point of losing my composure. This feeling was uncomfortable, like a beloved white handkerchief stained with a smear of mosquito blood. This feeling was strange to me. I even wanted to drive my yellow Ferrari at 110 mph and slap that woman twice regardless of the truth. But looking at my hand, I felt it was too degrading to take a low-quality green tea bitch seriously. I called Dodo at Hermes. There was uncontrollable joy in Dodo's tone. She promised me over the phone. "Mrs. Sterling, don't worry. Even if I have to empty Shanghai today, I will get all the goods ready and deliver them all to you!" So that day. Before getting off work. Except for Bella, all assistants and general office girls of the executives at Sterling Group headquarters, totaling forty-six people, received a generous gift from the President's wife— A Hermes necklace worth twenty thousand dollars. Although the unit price couldn't compare to the three hundred thousand dollar auction necklace, the victory was in numbers, which could be considered impartial. Heidi handled things smoothly. She required everyone to post on Moments with the text— [The President's wife says every girl deserves better! [Clench fists, yes ma'am, my President's wife!] The girls who received the gifts were naturally happy to cooperate. As assistants and general office staff. They were almost the gossip center of the entire company. Now receiving gifts from the President's wife, who wouldn't happily post pictures and text? Some smart ones added a sentence to their post: [The President's wife really knows how to play!] The assistants might not have much influence in the company, but their ability to spread news across departments is terrifying. Within half an hour, the whole company knew that the President's wife gave everyone Hermes necklaces. As for the reason, the major gossip groups were already buzzing with discussion. Bella's face was pale, as if greatly insulted. She red-eyed, hid in the bathroom to take off the diamond necklace. Two colleagues who came in to touch up their makeup saw her and snorted meaningfully. Bella was ashamed. She lowered her head and walked out of the bathroom quickly, the ridicule behind her becoming more unscrupulous. Her cheeks burned as she put the necklace into the box. Returning it to Ethan untouched.
