Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 222
There wasn’t another person in the world who was as picky as Adam.
Lumma clearly remembered when she first started working for Adam, how finicky he was about his daily meals.
He wouldn’t eat if the food was slightly cold, nor if it was too hot, a touch too greasy, or too bland. It had to be
made just to his liking, and it nearly drove the cook to madness.
However, it seemed that Adam had been less picky about his food recently.
Could it be that being around his spice-loving wife had made him less selective?
“What are you thinking about?” Adam’s voice slowly echoed in her ear.
“Nothing.” Lumma tried to disguise her embarrassment by drinking water, but she couldn’t twist
the cap off after a couple of tries.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdam took the bottle from her hands, naturally helped her open it, and handed it back to her.
“Thank you, Mr. Hills!” Lumma took a few sips of water. Her throat, which had been parched all afternoon, was
instantly relieved by the water. “Why haven’t you left yet? It’s getting so late?”
“The house inspection took longer than expected, and then I had to meet with a designer for
renovation ideas, so I’ve been busy until now.” In reality, Adam didn’t need to deal with these
tedious details personally. With his command, there were people who could handle things
beautifully for him. The reason he stayed was because of Lumma.
“I see.” Lumma didn’t know what else to talk about. She looked back and said, “Mr. Hills, my friend
is waiting for me to bring back water, I need to go now.”
“Okay.” Adam didn’t try to keep her. He watched her leave and then went to the property management office to
handle the related procedures.
So, when Lumma and her two friends went to the property management office to handle the house receiving
procedures, they unsurprisingly ran into Adam.
Harry was the first to notice him, grumbling discontentedly. “Why is that guy still around. We run into him
everywhere.”
Lumma gave Harry a light punch. “Harry, watch your words. This isn’t just your territory, and
others are allowed to be here too. He also bought a house her. We might run into him more in the
future.”
Harry replied, “A big shot who lives in a hundred-million-dollar mansion suddenly buying this kind of house, so tell
me he doesn’t have a hidden agenda.’
Lumma countered. “Is it that men are always envious of men who are more handsome and richer
than themselves?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHarry retorted, “You always get on my nerve.”
Ruby interjected, “I think Harry might be onto something. Do you think Adam might be buying the house here for
me?”
Lumma and Harry replied in unison, “What dream are you having now?”
“I was just joking, so why so serious?” Ruby checked her makeup in her phone, confirming it was still perfect, then
sauntered over to Adam. “Mr. Hills, what a coincidence, we meet again.”
When a woman approached him, Adam’s first reaction was disgust. He didn’t even bother to look up at first,
wanting to dismiss her.
Luckily, he looked up in time to see it was Lumma’s friend, and he politely greeted Ruby, “Hello!”
Ruby responded with a smile, “Mr. Hills, are you receiving a house too? We’ve been so busy we haven’t had dinner
yet, would you like to join us later?”
Adam instinctively looked past Ruby to Lumma…
