The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 809 Garrett’s Beautiful And s*e*xy Secretary
Laney sighed with relief since Draco didn’t make things difficult for Janet. Knowing things would be just fine for Janet, Laney decided to go home.
She’d been gone for quite some time today. Mrs. Harding was probably wondering where she’d been all day. She would not like it if Laney arrived home late.
Janet had walked Laney to the Mercedes-Maybach. The servant waiting in the car greeted them and informed Laney that the phone had been ringing in short bursts.
The servant then handed the phone to Laney. She took it and saw that there were several missed calls from Garrett.
She didn’t get to see Garrett as much after she married him.
The Harding family’s business was expanding. Garrett had been too preoccupied with work to call Laney.
Thinking about this made Laney a bit sad.
“Your eyes are getting misty. Is there something wrong?” Janet inquired, concerned. “Is that Mrs. Harding? Does she want you back now?” Janet was afraid that Laney would be wronged.
Laney smiled to calm herself. “There’s nothing wrong,” she replied softly. “It’s Garrett. He’s coming here to pick me up.”
They hadn’t finished talking when a luxury sports car pulled up to the W Marks Studio’s front door.
Garrett opened the door and got out of the car. He looked the same as before, but he now possessed a more mature demeanor.
He looked at Janet and said in a joking tone, “Mrs. Larson, can I take Laney away? We’re going home.”
Janet took a step in front of Laney, hiding her behind her back. “I thought you were too busy, Mr. Harding,” she joked, echoing Garrett’s response. “Never thought you’d come pick her up yourself!”
Garrett noticed that Janet was more and more like Brandon.
He smiled as he shook his head. “I arrived in the afternoon and went straight home. They told me that Laney had gone to see the dress, but she hadn’t gone back yet. I called several times but she never answered. I got worried and decided to come here myself.”
Garrett fixed his gaze on Laney. “I’m so sorry,” he said apologetically. “I was too busy,” he then explained to Janet. “I realized my mistake, so I came here. Could you please give Laney back to me?”
Janet pretended to be deeply considering Garrett’s request. She then let go of Laney and winked at her.
Laney’s demeanor had shifted. Her heart swelled with joy when she saw Garrett arrive. “Did you inform your parents before you went out? I missed the calls only because I left my phone in the car, but you didn’t have to worry too much. You know I’m not that delicate. Remember that I used to protect others.”
Yet, as soon as she finished her words, her stomach began to grumble.
Her grumbling stomach had betrayed her. Laney blushed and looked away awkwardly.
Garrett took two steps towards Laney, trying hard not to laugh. He reached out and gently placed his hand on her stomach. “I understand,” he said softly, “but we need to fill that tummy first, so let’s go to dinner, okay?”
Laney placed her hand on his. They were both smiling sweetly.
At this point, a tall woman with curly hair rushed out of Garrett’s car. “Mr. Harding, it’s freezing outside! Please put on your coat.”
Her gaze was fixed on Garrett. She didn’t appear to notice anyone around him. Even though she was holding documents, she took Garrett’s coat and tried to put it on him.
“Thank you, Kelly. I can do it myself.”
Garrett’s impassive tone was a stark contrast to the woman’s enthusiasm. He took his coat and wrapped it around Laney’s shoulders. “It’s been raining for days on end,” he said tenderly to his wife. “You should wear more clothes when you come out.”
Kelly turned to face Laney and gave her a curt nod. “Hello. Mrs. Harding wants to know how the fitting went.” Laney gave Kelly a friendly smile. “There is one more place that needs to be modified. Please tell her that this may take some time.”
Janet had been staring at Kelly all this time, sensing something was wrong.
Janet turned to face Laney, who was smiling at Kelly as if she didn’t notice anything was wrong. She was truly blessed with a good heart. Kelly, on the other hand, was a different story. She looked at Laney with scorn in her eyes.
Janet had never before seen Kelly.
Was she Garrett’s secretary? When did he get a new secretary? Kelly was beautiful and s*e*xy. She also looked like she was intimate with Garrett. It was completely inappropriate.
Janet asked directly, “Mr. Harding, we haven’t seen each other in only a few months. When did you find such a beautiful secretary?” And in a rather emphatic tone, she added, “I remember you said you would be faithful to Laney when you married her, right?”
