A Crazy Wife

While drinking tea, Mrs. Susan's assistant suddenly comes over and whispers something, and then Mrs. Susan's face is inexplicably darkened, "What does he want from me to go there? Mr. Black clearly knows that I don't like that woman."

The assistant doesn't know what to do and whispers, "Mr. Black said that after all, he had made a deal with Fiona Angela to let her design the jewelry at first. Now that he changes his mind, he wants you to go over and make it smoother. Just help him fix her."

"What's happened?" Hannah asks, "What's wrong with the jewelry design?"

"Nothing," Mrs. Susan doesn't hide her irritated expression, and while looking at Hannah, she shows a sense of ease.

"Mr. Black has been looking for the right designer but failed to find on. Then he heard Fiona Angela is an excellent designer in London, so he gave the task to her. Now, you know, he changes his mind. You see, he is asking me to act as a buffer! I'll play the devil!"

Hearing the name "Fiona Angela”, Hannah feels a little upset, but she remains her dignity, "Is she the wife of the president of Green Group, Leo Bruce?"

She is really pushing her way into every corner, catching every chance to cling to these celebrities. It seems that she is not aware of her lack of real flair as an immature jewelry designer. How dare she want to show her design to Mr. Black? Doesn't she fear to fail him?

"Exactly," Mrs. Susan snorted.

"Before the auction where we met, she gave me a brochure to show her design and almost made a fool of me. Such an unprofessional designer! Mr. Black has no judge of real designers!"

The previous incident about the eyebrow pendant really ruined Mrs. Susan's relationship with Fiona.

"That might be a misunderstanding."

"Maybe. She did come to my house to apologize after that, but I didn't even let her in," Mrs. Susan frowned, with a bit of anger, "but your few words just now really reminded me of something! As soon as the Greens fell apart, Leo Bruce married this woman. You see, she is not easy to handle!"

Perhaps she is a poisonous snake!

Since Hannah knew Mrs. Susan, they have frequently gathered on weekends. Hannah deliberately revealed some of Sherry's habits, reminding her of her old friend. Sometimes she gave her some hints. As time goes by, Mrs. Susan is used to hating Fiona and Leo.

So even if she meets Fiona at the banquet, Mrs. Susan would not be nice to Fiona.

"Susan, you'd better go and have a look. It isn't about Fiona. It is just for the fact that Mr. Black is a good friend of yours. He really counts on you to help him handle these things"

"Mr. Black deliberately seeks trouble for me!"

Mrs. Susan sighs helplessly, and then she stands up and says, "Don't stick around here, you know, it's boring. Why not go into the hot spring? It's nice! When I'm done there, I will go and find you. We'll enjoy a massage together then!"

"All right!"

Hannah can guess what is going to happen to Fiona next at the banquet hall. Anyway, it is about to make Fiona extremely embarrassed. Hannah is not in a hurry to watch the show, lest Fiona may create troubles for her when forced into dead ends. So she just follows what Mrs. Susan said and goes to the hot spring pool.

On the other side, Fiona quickly makes sense of what Mrs. Susan is saying between lines and she knows Mr. Black rejects her design. She tells them it's nothing, but when she turns around, her expression betrays her.

Leo Bruce stands beside her, and says in a deep voice, "It's nothing. The doctor said that your fetal position is not correct. Rest at home more! Just leave these things to me. I can deal with it."

"The design was supposed to be mine! After designing the jewellery for Mr. Black's mother's birthday, we establish our relationship with them as we wish. Oh, god! It is Mrs. Susan's fault! She ruins everything! She is just trying to get in our way!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what does it have to do with Mrs. Susan?"

"Didn't you hear it just now? The designer Mr. Black employs now is introduced by Mrs. Susan. She has a grudge against me because of the eyebrow pendant. I went to her home to apologize several times but was rejected by her. This old woman just can't go over this thing! She insists that I made a fool of her deliberately at that time!"

When mentioning this, Leo Bruce was also a little unhappy.

"How could you make such a mistake? As a designer, you should know quite well how to wear the jewelry, right? If Sherry is here..."

Fiona's expression changes abruptly, even though Leo Bruce doesn't go on talking about Sherry. She immediately throws away Leo Bruce's arm and grits her teeth, "You think of her now? I am doing everything for you good. But you compare me to her because of such a trivial matter?"

"I don't really mean it. Easy! Easy! Someone is watching."

"Like I care. Don't touch me."

Since Fiona got pregnant, she has been more and more arrogant, often unreasonably losing her temper. She immediately pulls a long face and leaves Leo behind, "Go and socialize by yourself, just leave me alone."

Recently, everything doesn't go well enough for Leo, so when seeing Fiona unaware of her own fault and unreasonably making trouble, he is also agitated at the moment. He doesn't lose his temper because o the banquet, leaving without looking back.

Finding Leo walking away, Fiona turns around and chases for a few steps, and then she grits her teeth and stops. She will lose her face if she does so. As a woman in this family alone, she must get stronger enough to lock Leo Bruce by her side.

After a round of inquiries at the banquet, she realizes that the designer who replaces her to Mr. Black is actually Hannah Joseph. She thought it might be someone with the same name, but she sees Rainy Shahbaz later.

It's really her.

She created troubles for me several times. This time, don't blame me for protecting myself.

The waiter takes Hannah to the indoor hot spring. "Ms Joseph, there is the dressing room with clean swimsuits and bathrobes. If you need anything else, just ring the bell and let us know." Hannah says thanks to him and looks around in this hot spring room.

This indoor hot spring room is a gathering venue for a few people. Although it is not big, it is suitable for two or three friends to gather in private. There are a dozen such rooms in this hot spring villa.

As it is hot summer, the temperatures of the air-conditioning in the house is set very low. Behind a screen is a special high ceiling. The roof lighting can change into several patterns, which include night time, daytime and rainy days. It makes people feel at an open-air hot spring.

Dressed in her bathing suit and bathrobe, Hannah rolls up her hair, sitting by the pool and feeling the water temperature. After that, she takes off her bathrobe and jumps into the water. The scent of sulphur comes to her, as the water flowing on the rockery, with buckets full of ice red wine and fruits floating on the water.

Unconsciously, lying on one side of the pool, Hannah is little drowsy.

Tons of water vapor evaporates in the hot spring pool, almost submerging her.

A light sound of footsteps comes behind the screen.

The sound of the flowing water is particularly clear against the silence. Hannah opens her eyes in a trance, and dimly sees a man's naked and strong chest. ☐
