Billionaire’s Mistress

Edmund woke me up and I smiled at him shyly.

The ship was ashore and there were many people standing at the dock. I thought they were tourists on the island and didn’t pay attention to them.

When Edmund and I got ashore, we saw that the tourists were in two rows. A middle-aged man came up to Edmund and greeted him, “Mr. Edmund, welcome.”

“Hello.” Edmund nodded in a calm and alienated tone.

The other party also looked at me and said with a smile, “this lady looks familiar. Have we met before?”

Edmund turned to look at me calmly, “know each other?”

I shook my head, “No.”

“Oh, I remember. I saw you on TV. You look so much like that popular female star.” The man smiled and led the way. They got on the electric sightseeing car and walked into the island.

I know they are flattering me, so I smiled sheepishly.

Although the Moon Island hadn’t been officially developed, some aboriginals on the island had cleaned up their houses and built a simple resort since it was open to the public.

The middle-aged man had been introducing the potential of the Moon Island to Edmund all the way. He said excitedly.

I sat in the back row and listened carefully, but my eyes were on the natural scenery of the island.

The isles with a tropical rain forest climate were covered with lush vegetation, and towering trees could be seen at a glance. Some small wooden houses were hidden among the trees. If it weren’t for the sign of a resort hanging on the roadside, it would be difficult to find them.

The car drove south for more than 20 minutes and arrived at the famous Gem Beach.

The beach was decorated to entertain Edmund. There were music, deck chair, beach play, buffet and bikini beauties.

“Mr. president, Miss Leanna.” Oarlan came out of nowhere, holding a coconut in his hand and wearing beach pants, smiling brightly.

“Oarlan, aren’t you sleeping in the club?” I was surprised to see him.

Oarlan handed the coconut to me and said with a bitter face, “yes, we agreed to have a holiday, but we were caught for work again.”

While speaking, he kept glancing at Edmund.

I’m confused. Even so, Edmund and I went out first than Oarlan. Why did he go to the island before us?

Is it because I fell asleep on the road and Edmund didn’t want to wake me up, so he drove very slowly or took a detour?

I don’t think so? How could he waste his time for me?

I shook my head and warned myself not to be sentimental.

“If you feel dissatisfied, you can pack up and leave now.” Edmund gave Oarlan a cold face.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Yes, very satisfied. How can I be dissatisfied? If I didn’t work for the CEO, how could I have the chance to see so many beautiful women?” Oarlan said with a fawning look.

I’m so happy to see that. I didn’t expect that Oarlan, who is usually serious, would behave like this in private.

“Don’t be garrulous. Who are they?” Edmund glanced at the sofa and finally fixed his eyes on the temporarily built cool shed not far ahead.

There were a few people gambling there, and a group of beautiful bikini girls were waiting there.

“The bald man sitting over there is the biggest local construction company. He is sitting next to the civil and government officials and the engineer of the design institute. The old man over there is the chairman of the Baker Group, and also our biggest competitor. Speaking of this, the Baker Group has invested a lot, and the chairman, Nigel, has personally come. It seems that the Baker Group is really a big fat piece of meat. Fortunately, I am well-informed and caught up with it Otherwise, this project may be out of our business. ” Oarlan introduced as she led Edmund and me to the balcony.

Knowing that Edmund came here for business, I didn’t dare to disturb him, so I stepped aside silently and found a cool place to sit down and drink coconut juice.

Edmund’s POV

I followed Reg to the pavilion. Everyone put down their cards in surprise.

Reg immediately introduced, “everyone, I’m sure you all know Mr. Edmund. There is no other purpose for us to gather together today. The most important word is happy.”

“Reg, it’s your fault. Now that you have informed Mr. Edmund, why didn’t you tell us in advance? Did you want to give us a surprise?” With a cigar in her hand, Nigel took a puff and said.

Reg waved his hand and explained, “it’s a mistake. I didn’t mean not to tell you. I didn’t know it until an hour ago.”

“So Mr. Edmund is uninvited?” Nigel said provocatively.

I sneered and looked at Nigel. “Mr. Nigel, are you afraid of me?”

Nigel snorted, “are you kidding me? Why should I be afraid of you?”

” as soon as I show up, the project of the Moon Island will be out of business with your Group.” I said lazily with my hands in pockets.

“It’s good to be confident. Since Mr. Edmund is so confident in himself, how about we have the bet? If you win, we the Baker Group will no longer participate in the competition for the development right of the Moon Island. If you lose, you will quit. What do you think?” As Nigel spoke, she winked at the man who was in charge of dealing the cards.

The man received the message and nodded to him.

看到他们的互动,我笑了笑,并不在意.

Seeing their interaction, I smiled and didn’t care.

“That’s a good idea.” “But I’m not interested in gambling recently. How about this? I’ll find someone to replace me.”

Leanna’s POV

I was enjoying the sunshine, beach and delicious food. Lying on the deck chair, I felt so comfortable.

When Oarlan called me, I was humming a song with my eyes closed.

“What did you say? Mr. Edmund asked me to play cards?” Hearing Oarlan’s explanation, I looked straight into the pavilion and saw Edmund looking in this direction.

Feeling a little guilty, I quickly withdrew my sight and waved at Oarlan. “No, No. I don’t know how to play.”

“Mr. Edmund is here. What are you afraid of? Let’s go. Don’t let Mr. Edmund wait too long. He will lose his temper.” Oarlan threatened while coaxing her.

As soon as I heard that Edmund would lose his temper, I immediately stood up from the deck chair and followed Oarlan to the cold shed.

“Who is this lady?” Nigel looked at me and asked curiously.

Edmund held my shoulder and pressed me against the chair in front of the gambling table. With a dangerous smile on his face, he said, “you can call her Leanna.”

“Mr. Edmund is going to ask this Miss Leanna to help you, right?” Nigel looked at me and mocked.

“Mr. Nigel, don’t look down upon me. Win first.” Edmund said sarcastically, putting his hand on my shoulder heavily.

Being pressed down by his hands, my back bent. I really want to die.

Turning around, I looked at him with embarrassment. “Mr. Edmund, I can’t… you’d better let Oarlan…”

“Don’t be afraid. Just play the simplest cards.” He comforted.

“.. How to play?”

I’ve never heard of it before. Let me play it?

“…” Edmund didn’t expect that I didn’t know how to play cards. “Five card stud?”

“What’s that?” Still confused, I swear that I really can’t play cards. Please don’t make things difficult for me, okay?

“… what can you play?” He asked.

“I…”? But Edmund seemed to be able to swallow me up at any time, so I didn’t dare to say that I can’t play anything.

Nigel sneered, “it seems that Mr. Edmund can’t find a good helper. What should we do? Why don’t you give up this opportunity? Anyway, your King group is rich. Why do you have to compete with us?”

“Can I play chess? A little bit…” I looked at Edmund weakly and reported,

“Okay, I’ll play chess.” Edmund made a decision. He looked at the government official sitting next to him and asked, “how about this gentleman playing a game with them?”

The official didn’t say yes immediately, but looked up at Nigel. Seeing that Nigel nodded at him gently, he sat down at the table.

Someone quickly prepared the chess pieces.

Sitting in front of the chessboard, I felt nervous. My hand holding the chessboard was trembling, and I didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

Edmund lowered his head slightly and whispered in my ear, “have a good time. The business of several billions depends on you.”

“…” as a result, I was even more nervous.

Soon, I was defeated. With a long face, I turned around to look at Edmund and asked him to give me some advice.

However, at this time, Edmund sat aside and played with his mobile phone. Yes, he just sat not far behind me, crossed his legs and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.
