Enchanted By His Charm



She knew Bowen must have learned a lot about big companies.

"Umm... It's okay. Talents are the most important." Bowen said and sipped his Champaign, "Our headquarter needs to be reconstructed. If your boyfriend is interested, let him compete for a bid. He might win if his design is unique."

Daisy feels it is more complicated to spill out another lie. She tried her best to adjust her mood, "Thank you, Mr. Bowen. He is inexperienced. Just forget it."

Bowen looked at her for a while and laughed, "You are so funny."

Funny? What did he mean?

Bowen didn't explain but just asked, "Daisy, you majored in French when you were still in college, right?"

Daisy nodded.

"I will travel to France for business. Will you come with me?" Bowen looked at her, seeming to test her. 

Daisy's emotions were like a roller coaster. She tried her best to calm herself down, "Mr. Bowen, you flatter me. There must be many assistants good at French. I'm not so qualified."

Bowen leaned behind, idle and casual, "You are qualified. It's known to everybody that you are capable of doing things. I just want to borrow your luck and sign the contract smoothly. I suppose that Joseph must agree if I ask for it by myself."

"Mr. Bowen." Daisy stood up suddenly, feeling suffocated. "I...I think I'm not so suitable, really. Please just pick someone else."

She intended to go.

"You will not get married this year, will you?" Bowen asked suddenly, "Why not just hang around France with me? For a vacation?"

Daisy turned around and asked, "Who said that I will not get married this year." 

"You didn't catch the bridal bouquet." Bowen laughed with an evil grin.

Daisy was speechless.

Earlier, when Irish threw her bridal bouquet, Daisy was standing with Lilith. When the bridal bouquet flew over to her, they both intended to give it to other women, so they just pulled their hands back. Therefore the bridal bouquet was thrown to the floor. They both didn't get it.

Daisy and Lilith were scolded by Irish after that.

Bowen stood up, walking towards her.

Daisy stepped back, suddenly feeling frightened.

Seeing her reaction, Bowen shook his head helplessly, "Are you afraid of me? I'm not an evil guy after all."

Daisy made a forced smile and tried her best to stand firmly. 

Bowen walked beside her and looked at her from head to toe, asking her suddenly, "Do you really have a boyfriend?"

Daisy nodded instantly, "Yes, I...I have a boyfriend."

Bowen laughed and didn't say anything else.

"Mr. Bowen, I will just leave if there is nothing you ask anymore." Daisy wanted to run away.

Bowen nodded lightly.

She left quickly.

The wedding was so bountiful and colorful, from the morning to the night. Their business partners toasted Leo and Joseph. Luckily Jean knew that Joseph had a bad stomach, so protecting him from being toasted as usual. It was impossible for a bridegroom not to be toasted at the wedding.

Joseph wanted to see Irish. He was afraid that she would do any careless act as she was already drunk. Irish was not on the lawn.

Joseph thought she was inside the venue drinking with her friends.

He was to find her. Suddenly Cassie staggered towards him. Maybe it was because she was drunk, and her greeting became casual.

Joseph asked whether she had seen Irish or not. She pointed at the room, mentioning that she was drinking with her classmates abroad. Joseph felt nervous, so he turned to leave, but Cassie stopped him, "Joseph, can we talk?"

It seemed joyous everywhere, and even in the air, there was sweetness. Only Ruby's house was very quiet.

Having left the Lakes, Ruby was more pragmatic. Although she was still the shareholder and could get many bonuses, she still opened a cake bakery store with Emery in a big mall. It was a very delicate store, which was very popular among white collar workers.

Emery had no money. All the funds for the store came from Ruby. She sold one of her houses and bought the store. Shirley was very angry at this, while Ruby and Emery were just dedicated to running the cake bakery store.

They opted to separate and didn't take part in any activity, including the wedding ceremony.

Emery was still concerned with Shirley's words. This day was Joseph and Irish's wedding, but Ruby still kept silent and was busy with the business. After coming back home, Emery couldn't help saying, "Today, your mom called when you were not at the store to deliver the cake."

Ruby nodded lightly, "It might be for the wedding. But, you know what? She is still unhappy about the fact that Joseph is with Irish. It will be useless for her to attend the wedding, but if I come, there may be a different voice from outside."

Emery sighed lightly.

"But my Mom forgot two important facts." Ruby nestled in the sofa, massaging her arm, "Firstly, it was a fake marriage between me and Joseph, which the outside has known. Secondly, Joseph is so well-known, so even if I come to the wedding, he has the power to let the media have one unified voice. It's said that he has spent a lot of money on the wedding, so he doesn't care about putting more money on the media."

"It's true." Emery nodded.

Current situation of today's Runestone Group, Roy was the director of the board, but how about the fact? It has been disclosed that Roy had returned to the airline company while all the business in the Runestone Group was in Joseph's control. Roy was no longer in the highest position, while Joseph was already the director and ran the company as the general manager.

The Lakes were no longer as strong as before.

Thinking of this, Emery was sorrowful. Then, looking at Ruby, she said, "It's my fault." 

Ruby never thought she would say that, so she just smiled, "What are you talking about?"

"If it were not for me, you would never have had a fake marriage with Joseph, and you would have lived in the Lakes. If it were not because of me, you would not have begged Joseph and lost part of your share. If not for me, you would not have been humiliated, run this store, and worked day and night. A rich woman who just became a cake deliverer."

Emery felt more and more down.
