Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 256: Pleasing the Lady Never Fails
Sterling Norwood promptly begged, "Mm, my wife is amazing—beautiful and makes money. Marrying you is my good fortune."
With Sterling saying this, Selena Kensington felt a bit shy again.
She recalled the brainless flattery from those executives earlier, and her ears warmed up.
"...Eat up!"
Selena had brushed her hair behind her ears, allowing Sterling to easily see her slightly reddened ear lobes.
Even getting shy, she looked so cute.
He lowered his head and chuckled lightly, no longer teasing her.
After lunch, Selena forcefully urged Sterling to go rest in the lounge.
Originally planning to lull Sterling into sleeping so she could revise the new script, she had just pushed him onto the bed and was about to turn away.
The next moment, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.
Selena fell sitting into his arms.
"Together."
He lazily lowered his gaze, voice carrying a rare trace of indolent tenderness.
Yet his grip on Selena’s wrist was unrelenting.
Selena shook the wrist Sterling held, "You sleep, I have to revise the new screenplay."
Sterling slightly pursed his lips, still refusing to release his hold.
He directly placed Selena on the edge of the bed, and leaned down to take off her shoes.
"You..."
Looking at the back of his head, Selena couldn’t help but laugh.
She didn’t stop his actions.
In the end, Sterling achieved his goal and hugged Selena to sleep.

Thanks to a good sleep and his wife being there, Sterling felt refreshed when he woke up.
Even during meetings, he didn’t have a stern face.
The people most perceiving Sterling’s newfound, spring-like demeanor were those executives reprimanded extensively by him that morning.
They profoundly understood the meaning of ’pleasing the lady is never wrong!’
As long as the lady remained here, why would they fear daily anxieties and stress?!
However... these executives were savvy and naturally wouldn’t blatantly try to please Selena.
If they truly wanted that, they wouldn’t last.
Sterling’s jealousy would overflow and drown them.
After the meeting finished, the executives keenly noticed how agreeable the president was today. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
They immediately instructed their subordinates to rush any reports to the top!
Today’s reports to the president meant avoiding his terrifying gaze!
Thus, through the afternoon, the Imperial Building’s employees all knew that with the lady present, the president was particularly amiable.
Unyieldingly finishing future work ahead of time to report today.
Of course, Selena revising the script in Sterling’s office was unaware of this.
She merely felt puzzled, sensing quite a few people reporting work and seeking guidance during the afternoon, and each seemed to give her a flattering smile upon entering.
"..."
Could this be Sterling’s usual work routine?
No wonder he’s lost a bit of weight...
Unbeknownst to Sterling, due to a chance mistake by his subordinates, they provided him with a perfect cover story.
As more entered, Selena could manage to ignore them, engrossed in her thoughts.
The most fascinating aspect of "Butterfly Flame" was Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd, constantly plotting against each other, using each other, yet still unable to resist sinking because of the other.
Paloma designed encounters with Rhys to avenge her fallen homeland, while Rhys, for his iron-willed ambition, wasn’t above using Paloma.
