Chapter 6 The Covenant

Chapter 6 The Covenant

In the charcoal-fired oven in front of him, the aroma of meat was overflowing.

Suzanne was grilling and Jerry came to help her because of the order of Mathew. Not far away on the seaside Lily was supporting Matthew for a walk.

"Do we really have to get the marriage certificate?" Suzanne asked Jerry confused.

"You don’t want to?"

"But…"

"Worrying that you'll be at a loss when we divorce?" Jerry suddenly smiled at Suzanne: "Then we'll sign a supplementary agreement later!"

"Supplementary agreement?"

"Yes. When I divorce you, I will give you 10 million dollars as alimony. You are a rich woman at that time, so there is no need to worry about anything, OK?"

Suzanne stared at Jerry for a while: "The Rose Garden is enough for me."

"Really?"

"When I signed the signature, I should have be aware about this." said Suzanne, putting the meat into the plate.

Jerry agreed.

On the edge of the beach, Matthew smiled and looked at them.

"Grandpa, do you really want Jerry marry that girl?" asked Lily.

"Of course!"

"I’m afraid that Jerry will not be loyal to her, and it is probable for them to get divorced at the end.”

"Then Jerry has to make changes. Suzanne is a good girl, and she should not be let down badly. "

……

Suzanne cuddled with the quilt on the big bed in the guest room. But she just could not fall sleep. Having laid on the bed for five hours, she still didn't feel sleepy at all. Although it will be a fake marriage, but it still means something to her. She felt lonely for nobody accompanied her.

In the early morning, among the clothes brought by the servants, Suzanne chose the most ordinary one to wear, and then she went downstairs and had breakfast with Jerry and Matthew. "I'm going to work." Jerry said to Matthew.

Suzanne immediately stopped and said to Jerry: "Wait! I am to be with you."

Both Jerry and Matthew were surprised at her words.

"It’s no need for you to work now cause you are the wife of CEO of the company." Lily looked at Suzanne in surprise.

"But I want to." Suzanne said, a bit embarrassed.

Matthew smiled: "All right! Just do as you like. And it is a good chance for you and Jerry get much more intimate." Mathew said happily.

Jerry agreed and looked at Suzanne: "Let's go then!"

……

"It’s OK for you to continue to work, but we must make a covenant first!"

As soon as the car drove 100 meters away from the castle, the smile on Jerry's face disappeared completely. At this moment, his became cold again.

“All right."

"First, in the company, you and I are just the superior and subordinate. Don't expect me to take special care of you, understand?"

"I see."

"Second, keep it secret that we’ve got married. Even if the company spreads the news that you are my wife, you should deny it!"

"Absolutely!"

Jerry glanced at Suzanne:"Third, and most importantly, you have to cooperate with me and maintain consistency when we are with grandpa. That is to say, we have to be together. When I'm dealing with my own business, it is no need for us to be together. But we must go home together. Is it clear?”

Suzanne smiled: "Yes."

Jerry nodded, glanced at the side of the road and rushed towards John who was driving and said, "Stop here!"

After the car pulled over and stopped, Jerry pointed to the bus stop and said: "You will get on and off here in the future!"

"Okay." Suzanne glanced it and nodded.

Seeing that she didn't get out of the car, Jerry had no choice but to reach out and threw the handbag beside her into her arms: "Starting today!"

Suzanne complained: "I’m going to be late today. You can leave me near the company!"

"None of my business."

Suzanne looked at Jerry's cold appearance, grabbed the bag and got out of the car. As soon as the door was closed, the car drove away.

She held her handbag, speechless. Then she thought that she had no money on her body, so she quickly opened the bag. When she saw a pile of large bills lying inside, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she could only stop by the street. She did not want to be a big spender!

"Suzanne, you’re late!" The marketing director, Ann, whispered blame when she saw Suzanne.

"I'm sorry. It was because of the traffic jam."

"No excuse!" As she shoved a stack of documents into Suzanne's arms: "Hurry up and put these in the conference room. The meeting will start in three minutes!"

Suzanne started to work immediately. She is not surprised by this. The company's weekly meeting is usually on Monday morning, but most of the time it is at ten in the morning. Today, it opens a little earlier. It must be something have to be discussed.

As soon as Suzanne entered the conference room with the documents in her arms, she was frightened by the busy colleagues in the conference room. They were all like enemies, carefully placing flowers, plants, mineral water, and others watching. Whether it was neat or not, when Suzanne put the documents on the table, her colleague, Betty, even yelled at her: "Suzanne, make it neat! You want to kill us if you put it in such a mess!"

Suzanne blinked, hurriedly put the documents in order, and asked: "Is there a big man coming?"

Several colleagues did not want to answer her.

"The CEO is coming, apparently!" As soon as Betty's voice fell, Suzanne shuddered, and she understood that was Jerry.

“This way, sir!" Jerry walked in with a cold face.

Suzanne hurriedly placed the documents when the door was opened, and at this moment, they looked at each other. Suzanne's heart tightened, and people stood there foolishly, but Jerry ignored her, walked directly past her, and sat at the table.

Betty stepped forward and pulled Suzanne, who was in a daze, and pushed it to the corner. Colleagues consciously stood in front of her her, so that Jerry would not get angry and the entire department would suffer.

"Come in, let's start!" Jerry lowered said in a resistant voice. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As a researcher, Suzanne was only qualified to attend, so she sat in the corner.

Jerry held the document and talked eloquently, and from time to time instructed one or two people to drop the hard indicators.

If it had been two days ago, Suzanne must have been cautious for fear of bad luck, but now, she was staring at Jerry with a puzzled expression: Strange, is this guy a two-faced person? Yesterday, he was laughing and poor. No matter how he looked at him, he looked like a naive and willful young master. How could he be so ruthless and decisive suddenly?

"Pa!" Jerry closed the folder and glanced at everyone: "I hope you will see results within a week of what I have explained! The meeting is over!" After he finished speaking, he stood up, but when he turned around, he looked straight Xiang Suzanne raised his hand: "You!"

Everyone looked at Suzanne with sadness in their eyes.

"Come to my office!" After Jerry finished speaking, he turned and left the conference room. Colleagues around him all came up to pat her on the shoulder. With those eyes and expressions, it was like she was going to the battlefield.

Suzanne tore off the strap, walked out of the meeting room and went straight upstairs. The colleagues behind him looked at each other and sighed, because they could think that even if Suzanne was not fired, he would be fired. Go to work on the front line.

Suzanne followed Jerry's footsteps and entered his exclusive office under the watchful eye of the secretary. As soon as the door of the office was closed, Jerry turned his head and stared at Suzanne: "You resign!"

"Ah?" Suzanne was stunned and immediately shook his head: "Sir, I didn't mean to block your way, I just..."

"What task did I give in the meeting just now?"

"I forgot." Suzanne looked embarrassed, for she didn't pay attention to it just now.

"As a company employee who doesn't even know what to do, is he still qualified to stay in this company?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I'll go back and ask my colleagues immediately. And I'll do my job well, please sir, give me one more chance!"

"Opportunity?" Jerry smiled, then stretched out his hand and took Suzanne into his arms: "Is it bad to stay at home?"

"I'm not a parasite, I want to work!" Suzanne looked solemn.

"Your job isn't to stare at me, right?"

Facing Jerry's words, Suzanne smiled embarrassed: "Well, you looked different when you worked."

Jerry was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and pulled Suzanne's chin, lowered his head and kissed her lips. Suzanne was stunned for a second before pushing him hard. When he pushed Jerry away, she flushed red. Cheeks: "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Jerry raised his mouth: "Is it wrong for me to kiss my future wife?"

"Are you crazy? This is the company!"

"Do you still know that this is a company? Didn't you ask me why it's different? Let me tell you now. Home and company are different, and what I want is a distinction between public and private!"

Hearing this, Suzanne stretched out her hand and wiped her mouth vigorously: "You can tell me directly, and it is no need for you to kiss me at all."

"Only in this way can you keep it in mind!" Jerry said and turned around: “Get out, and if you forget your identity again, you’ll be fired!"

Suzanne gritted her teeth and answered yes, turned around and pulled the door out. After Suzanne left, Jerry touched his lips and thought about the kiss.

Her lips are really soft, Jerry thought so.
