The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Chapter 872 There Is No Room for Negotiation

Miya feels that she has troubled him too much during this period of time. Moreover, she says to Anson in a casual manner just now, as if she treats him as her boyfriend....

She doesn't dare to think any further, for she is unwilling to have such an illusion.

After a while, Anson purses his lips and says in a serious tone, "I'll ask someone to send you over. However, you must remember what you have promised me. Please be back in a week."

Miya quickly nods. She doesn't dare to say anything else, for it's already a difficult thing to get out of here.

In the Hope Orphanage.

John stares straight ahead blankly. Rory has been walking back and forth in front of him for a while, but he still doesn't have any reaction. So she chooses to sit beside him and stares at him attentively.

Since he is absent-minded, she will stay by his side.

However, what Rory doesn't expect is that John is in a trance for a long time. She has never seen him like this before. John has been so abnormal lately! Is all his wired behavior related to that girl? She can't think of any other possibility.

Does that girl have such a big influence on him?

Just as Rory is trying to figure out the truth, John suddenly stands up in shock.

"John, is there anything wrong with you?" Since John shows such a surprised look, Rory thinks that something important must have happened. She begins to look around in an instant, but then she sees Miya.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Why is Miya at the Hope Orphanage? Isn't she sick? However, judging from her current appearance, Rory can tell she is rather healthy. Could it be that what she did before is all a lie? Thinking of this, Rory suddenly feels she is under threat.

"John, why is that girl here?" Rory can't understand this, so she blurts her doubt out.

However, it astounds her that after she says this, John still fixes his eyes on that girl. Is she really that good-looking? Rory even feels that John is infatuated with Miya, for she has never seen him like this before. He seems to have come back to life because of Miya, for he looks so excited and delighted now.

Rory is a little disappointed. It's out of her expectation that John doesn't hear her. It isn't until Miya disappears in front of them that John returns to his normal state. Seeing Rory's dull expression, he asks, "Rory, is everything okay?"

"Don't you feel ashamed to ask me this? Why did you ignore me just now?" Rory is a little sullen because of this.

"Actually, I didn't ignore you..." Even John feels that his explanation doesn't hold water. Recently, he has been unable to control his emotions properly. He doesn't understand why he always thinks of Miya and even has the urge to find her. He hates this feeling.

However, when Miya appears in front of him just now, he is suddenly overwhelmed with ecstasy. This is the first time he has been so looking forward to meeting someone. For a moment, he even has the illusion that he is in the most fantastic dream.

"Do you know that you kept staring at that girl when she came?" Rory gets straight to the point. However, her words enlighten John. He suddenly realizes that he can't help staring at Miya for a long time. He has no idea why he does this.

"Sorry. I promise that this won't happen again." John can only apologize to Rory.

Rory feels strange when hearing his apology. "Why are you apologizing to me like this?"

"Because I didn't hear your voice just now..." While saying this, John breaks off and pauses a moment, because he also feels it's a little strange to apologize. Why does he have the illusion that he has done something wrong to Rory?

"Anyway, I don't like to hear your apologies. Don't ever do that again." Rory is in a low mood. Then she turns around and leaves, because she doesn't want to see John like this anymore.

When John sees Rory leave in anger, he wants to catch up with her, but then he stops on second thought. That's because he is more curious about another thing. Why does Miya appear at the Hope Orphanage again?

His intense curiosity forces him to turn in another direction. When Rory turns around and sees that John doesn't catch up, she is even angrier. Grinding her teeth, she can't help stomping out of rage. If it were in the past, he would chase after her without hesitation. Why has the situation changed so much? Could it be that he is going to find that girl? Thinking of this, Rory becomes even more disappointed.

In the director's office.

The atmosphere is tense, for the director and Miya have been in a deadlock for a long time.

"Why did you come here again?" The director looks at Miya unfriendly. After all, this woman is her daughter's rival in love. She will by no means be kind to her. Instead, she wishes that Miya can disappear from her sight forever.

"I want to stay here as an employee. Please give me this chance," Miya says in a very humble manner.

This is the only way she can stay here and be with John. She believes that a week's time will remind him of herself and bring them back to their previous relationship. She is convinced that John is Alex, because she hears what he whispered in her ear that day.

Although she doesn't know what kind of difficulties he has, she knows it's a good thing to stay with him. At worst, they can get to know each other and fall in love again.

"Sorry, I can't agree to your request." Knowing Miya's purpose very well, the director won't put such a time bomb beside her.

"Why? I just want to stay here. I can do a lot of work and I won't ask you to pay me. You can feel free to ask me to do anything." Miya instantly becomes emotional. It never occurs to her that the director will refuse her so determinedly, but she has to think of a way to stay here.

"There's no specific reason. Our orphanage already has enough staff. There's no need for extra employees." The director refuses without hesitation, leaving no room for negotiation.
