Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot-Chapter 457 - 456: Me and My Husband Together
Before Evelyn could regain her senses, Nia’s cheer rang out.
"Shall we get popcorn later then?"
When it came to sweets, probably no one loved them as much as Nia.
"Sure!"
After all, wasn’t his suggestion to go to a movie just to see her happy?
"Wonderful! After the movie, let’s grab a midnight snack together."
Nia had already planned all of tonight’s activities in her mind and happily continued her meal.
"Hold on a minute. I need to discuss something with them next door."
Maxwell gave Nia an apologetic look, but Nia didn’t mind at all.
"Go ahead, I’ll continue eating."
With food in front of her, she waved her greasy hand and continued to eat the sweet-and-sour fish.
Maxwell glanced at Yancy Hastings and Evelyn, gesturing for them to step out.
Quickly, the private room quieted down, leaving Nia alone.
She had assumed they were just stepping out for a brief discussion and wouldn’t be gone for too long.
However, she didn’t anticipate that by the time she finished eating and no longer wanted to move, the trio still had not returned.
Not wanting to disturb them, she decided to pull out her phone and play around a bit.
The screen saver on her phone was a group photo of her with Fiona Sutton and Charles Northwood.
Seeing Fiona Sutton, she remembered Fiona Sutton’s job situation and checked the time before dialing Edbert.
The long ringback tone was just about to end when Edbert’s voice came on.
"What’s up?"
From what he remembered, Nia rarely took the initiative to contact him after resigning from Star Media.
"Are you busy?"
Nia asked softly, afraid to interrupt his work.
「Meanwhile, at the Star Media Conference Room—」
Forty to fifty executives were sitting around the conference table, all staring at Edbert, who was on the phone.
"Not busy."
Edbert ignored the dozens of eyes trained on him and answered casually.
"Oh, good. I’m glad you’re not busy. Work is important, but make sure you take care of your health too."
As his former secretary, she knew his habits well; once he got busy, he could go an entire day without eating.
"Sure, I will."
Edbert instantly felt warmth in his heart upon hearing this, coming from the very person he no longer had by his side.
"Are you sure you’re not planning on returning to Star Media? If you do, you can continue your previous role, and I can even promote you."
Obviously, salary wouldn’t be an issue either.
"I’m doing just fine at MC right now, and you know, I’m with my husband."
At the mention of Maxwell, Edbert’s expression changed, and his eyebrows furrowed instantly.
"It’s exactly because of your relationship with Maxwell that I advise you to come to Star Media. Your special status there is ultimately not a good thing."
After all, MC isn’t a family business, and the thing they scoff at most is nepotism.
No doubt, Nia’s status there is absolutely awkward.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons their relationship has not been made public.
"When we make it public, I might resign."
How could Nia not have considered this issue? The reason she hadn’t mentioned it was because she had already quietly made her choice.
Hearing her words, Edbert felt a hint of regret.
"When you choose to resign, you’re still welcome here."
He sighed with a sense of defeat, and his whole aura during the meeting crumbled.
"Okay, thank you."
In the vast conference room, everyone waited with bated breath. Suddenly, they saw Edbert flash a small smile.
