A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Facing Nell's accusation, James was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his clothes. Because his homey wear was V-neck, but not deep V-neck, it was not actually very revealing.

Yet, seeing Nell's angry face, James felt rather happy.

He leaned against the counter and deliberately bent his body to make his neckline lower. Then he looked at Nell with a composed expression.

"Oh? Am I not properly dressed?"

"Yeah, okay. I'm heating the food. Just get out!" Nell didn't want to discuss clothes with James anymore.

As they talked, the food was ready.

Nell took the food out of the microwave oven with the microwave glove.

Just as she picked the dishes up, Nell heard a rumbling sound coming from James's stomach.

Nell was lost for words.

With a long face, Nell put the dishes aside and then brought the remaining two dishes from the dining room over. She also filled another bowl of rice for James and put it into the microwave oven too.

James said, "Four dishes and two bowls of rice. Nell, since when did your appetite grow? Or..."

James' palm landed on Nell's lower abdomen. "You have a baby here, so ... you need to eat more?" The longer she spent with James, the more Nell felt that James was lustful. He kept talking flirtatiously.

Now that she heard James' words, Nell was no longer as shy as she was back then.

She darted an angry glance at James and slapped his hand away.

"It's only been a few days. Pregnant? How can I get pregnant so quickly?"

James smiled at Nell. "You don't believe in my ability?"

Nell ignored James' teasing and stared at the number on the microwave oven.

When the dishes were warmed up, Nell took them out. Then, she placed them on the table in the dining room and took out the tableware from the disinfection cabinet. One set was for her and the other set for James.NôvelDrama.Org content.

After sitting down, James still looked at Nell strangely.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me that way?" Nell felt uneasy faced with James' gaze.

James said thoughtfully, "Nell, make time to go to the hospital for a checkup."

"What do you mean? I'm not sick!" Nell rolled her eyes at him, thinking that he was going to say something to diss her or deliberately tease her again.

James said, "You'd better do it, and..."

"And what?"

James said with a serious expression, "You'd better not do anything too intense recently."

Nell had no idea what to say.

What did James mean?

She was totally at sea.

"What on earth are you trying to say?" Nell looked at James grumpily.

"Anyway, listen to me. Don't do any strenuous exercise. If you have time, go to the hospital for a check-up. Maybe ... you'll be surprised!"

Nell was speechless.

It was getting harder for her to understand what he said.

She also had no time to listen to his nonsense. All she knew was that she was really hungry and wanted to eat so badly.

The next morning, James drove Nell to work. They would go to her previous apartment at night to pack the other things and take them to James' house.

Right after Nell entered the office, the president, who was aloof to her at other times, came to welcome her with a smile.

"Oh my, there you are, Nell! Come in. Come in. It's quite cold today. Do you feel cold?"

Nell was speechless.

The president's warm attitude made Nell tremble all over and gave her gooseflesh.

She looked outside the office with a serious expression.

The sky was blue and the sun was shining. It wasn't raining or cloudy, but... what happened here was too abnormal.

"Uh, did I do something wrong? You want me to quit my job? That's why you are so enthusiastic about me?" Nell asked.

The president frowned.

"You are such an outstanding employee. How could you do anything wrong? How could I let you quit your job? I won't fire you. Even better ... I'll give you a promotion and a pay raise..." Nell was lost for words.

Today, a miracle did happen. Perhaps... she had seen it wrongly just now.

A promotion? She was already the editor-in-chief now. How could she be further promoted?

Nell hastened to say, "Well, the promotion won't be necessary! A pay raise will be enough."

"I've thought about it. Your monthly salary plus bonus is about 100,000. I'll double it for you. 300,000. How do you like it?"

Nell was dumbstruck.

She stared at the president's face in shock. "300,000?"

The president frowned. "Is 300,000 not enough? 500,000 then. That's the maximum. I can't offer you more. That's the salary the editor-in-chief can get at most!"

500,000!

She didn't even dare to think about this number. She didn't expect her pay would be raised to 500,000.

Nell opened her mouth and then nodded in a daze. "Okay, 500,000. Thank you, sir!"

As Nell looked satisfied, the president let out a sigh of relief.

"Not at all. I'm looking forward to your future performance."

"Yes, sir." Nell was about to go to work when she suddenly thought of something. She turned around. "Oh right, can I ask why you suddenly decided to give me a pay raise?"

After all, there were several magazines in the newspaper. As far as she knew, the other editors-in-chief didn't have such a high salary.

The president said with a prim face, "Ahem, I think that you are the most hardworking person among all the staff members. You deserve a high reward. I have high expectations for you." Nell nodded happily.

"Thank you, sir. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

After Nell left, the president quickly took out his phone and called James.

"Hello, Mr. Walker. I just gave Mrs. Walker a pay raise. Can our cooperation proceed now?"

When she returned to her office, Nell immediately called James.

As soon as the call was put through, Nell said in delight "Hello, James, I've just got a pay raise. Tonight... I'll treat you to a big meal."
