Chapter 8

  Jannie was startled at first, but quickly recovered. "Barbara has experienced that kind of injury and betrayal, and has no one to rely on for the past three years. Just as she was speaking, 

Leo stopped and turned to look at her gloomily. Jannie immediately said, "But you will love her in the future."...... 

The meeting room was on the 23rd floor, and the Business Department was on the 19th floor. When the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the door was opened. 

Sally from the Public Relations Department walked in. Barbara did not like Sally, so she stood to the side, and did not want to greet. 

Sally glanced at Barbara and looked up, "Someone, don't think that no one would know of the ugly things that they did in the past in a different city." 

Barbara listened and decided not to waste her energy on Sally who could cause trouble. 

Barbara's indifferent attitude angered Sally, she turned and glared at Barbara, "Barbara, don't you know that our CEO is married?" 

Barbara pursed her lips and smiled. If she didn't know that Leo was married, then who else would? Sally wanted to hook up with Leo, so she thought that it would be the same for Barbara as well. 

Thus, she said, "CEO had asked Jannie to send an internal email this morning to announce to everyone in the company that he has got married." 

Barbara was so busy with the matter of the Grand Corporation's tender today that she didn't even look at the internal mail of the company. 

Now that she knew, she couldn't help feeling sweet.Leo said that when he saw other men being close to her, he would be jealous.

Thinking of this, Barbara laughed, and couldn't help laughing.It was unrealistic for Sally to fantasy about Leo. When she knew that Leo was married this morning, she turned cold. 

After being depressed for half a day, she wanted to invite someone to be depressed along with her. As soon as she thought of it, she thought of Barbara. 

She wanted Barbara to feel what she had felt, but Barbara was calm, making her angry. Sally angrily stomped. 

Gritting her teeth, she thought that she couldn't do anything to Barbara now, but there would be a day when she would know Barbara's weakness, making her unable to act so arrogantly. 

Because of yesterday's lesson, Barbara did not waste even a moment after getting off work today. 

She rushed home as quickly as possible, hoping to make dinner before Leo got off work. While going to the supermarket to buy ingredients, Barbara dialed Leo's number. 

When Barbara called, she found that Leo was having a temporary meeting with a few higher—ups. He raised his hand to indicate everyone to quiet down before he answered the phone. 

"What's the matter?"Barbara said, "I'm in the supermarket, do you have anything you like to eat?" Leo said calmly, "I am not picky with food, you can decide." 

When Leo said this, Jannie and Todd were already beside him. Hearing his words, they looked at each other at the same time. 

If their CEO was not picky with food, then there was probably no one in this world who was picky with food. When Leo returned home, he found Barbara busy working in the kitchen.

She was wearing an apron, and her long black hair was tied up in a random bun, revealing her fair neck. It wasn't hard for him to imagine her doing well at work when he saw her like that. 

Leo looked at her in a daze for a while before walking into the kitchen. "Barbara, I'm back." Barbara turned around and smiled lightly, "Go and change your clothes first, we will start eating soon." 

Leo stood there without moving, "Barbara..."Barbara did not stop moving, she turned around and looked at him, "What's wrong?" 

"I'm going to change." Leo had initially said that he wouldn't need her to cook after work, so he only asked servant to prepare the dishes. 

However, he felt that it wasn't bad eating the food cooked by his wife. He liked the life, that when he returned home from work, he would be able to eat food personally cooked by his wife, not everything was prepared by his servant. 

Barbara prepared three dishes and a soup. There was a sliced chicken, an onion fried meat, a fried lotus root and a golden needle mushroom soup. 

Noticing that Leo was only eating light dishes at noon, Barbara guessed that he liked light food, and cooked some of these common dishes.

 Leo changed his clothes and came out, the dishes were already on the table. 

Seeing the onion on the table, he frowned slightly, but very quickly, nothing happened. Barbara brought the soup up and scooped a bowl for Leo.

 "I've been busy all day, let's drink a bowl of soup first. ""Alright." Leo took the bowl and took a sip. Barbara picked up another onion and placed it into Leo's bowl.

 "Onion is very healthy, eat more.""Alright." Leo nodded.However, he did not immediately eat. Instead, he slowly drank the soup.

He finished one bowl and added another. He also ate a few pieces of White Chicken and Lotus Root Starch, but he did not touch the onions she put in his bowl. When Barbara realized this, she started to swobble with her head down, feeling sad. 

Barbara did not speak anymore, and Leo also did not like speaking at the table, so it was extremely quiet. After finishing his meal, Leo was in charge of washing the dishes. Without saying anything, he turned and returned to his room. 

She clearly knew that the relationship between them wasn't that close, but if she saw how much he despised her food, she would still feel sad. 

But she thought again, their marriage was not based on love, only for the sake of marriage. Although they were already hus band and wife, neither of them understood each other. 

Neither of them was close enough to help each other with food. She had been careless. In the future, she would try to respect him as much as possible and would never overdo again. 

After thinking it through, Barbara no longer bothered about the matter just now. She turned on her computer and prepared to take a closer look at the Grand Project's proposal. 

Friday was the opening date. With so many people busy for so long, they definitely could not allow to make any mistakes. 

Just as Barbara opened the folder, her phone rang. Barbara saw that it was her best friend, Freda. When she picked up the call, she heard Freda shouting angrily, "You damned girl, where are you? Why didn't you tell me about the move? Do you want to scare me? 

" Freda was Barbara's high school and university classmate. Back then, when Barbara had betrayed her family and friends, she was the only one standing by her side. 

Barbara decided to come to Barcelona to work. Freda did not even think about it, and dragged a simple luggage with her as she left the bustling capital city and came to Barcelona. 

She was worried that Barbara would do something stupid by herself. She originally wanted to accompany Barbara for two months, and only turned back to the capital after Barbara had calmed down.
