Pampered Like A Princess

Nelissa frowned and could not understand what Andrew was saying. She asked, “What piano?”

Andrew explained, “Mr. Hales knows that you like to play the piano. You have been reading magazines about the piano for a long time. When you were on a business trip to Bekki, he bought you a piano at the auction for you. It took some time to transport it to Haleston City. He just arrived last night. He should be in Mount Hales’s villa to check if the piano is damaged.”

Nelissa couldn’t say anything for a moment. She held her phone tightly with her pale fingers, feeling very sad.

A few days ago, when Andrew saw Edward buying the ring, he treated Nelissa as the hostess and was very polite to her. “Miss Nelissa, I won’t disturb your work anymore. I’ll go and find Young Mr. Hales first. There are some business matters in the company that I need to listen to him.”

Nelissa blinked her eyes and came back to her senses. “Oh… okay.”

The call ended.

Nelissa couldn’t concentrate on her work. She typed a row of numbers on the keyboard and kept looking at her phone. She thought of Edward, where he was, and whether she was still angry. She thought that he was completely disappointed in her and would rather he hate her. In this way, at least he was still a great Edward. She wanted him to be fine, although she couldn’t monopolize him, or he was so proud that no one could hurt him.

She had thought that in the future, she would use the newspaper and magazine as an outsider to gossip about Edward and other rich young ladies. She would watch him finally go to the wedding with his woman, and she would wash her hands for others. When she heard that he was the first man she would think of when she talked about love.

Some people failed to be together in the end, but they had the power to alter their own life trajectory.

If she hadn’t teased him, she might have liked Zayden. She wouldn’t have hesitated about whether she should accept Zayden again…

She liked Edward, liked him very much, and did not want to see him fall in love with another woman.

“Nelissa.” The female colleague patted Nelissa’s shoulder, which made her tremble with fear. She turned her head and her eyes turned slightly red.

The female colleague took the document and said, “Here you are, the document. What’s wrong with you? You look like you’re out of your mind. Look at the document on your computer. What is it?”

Nelissa took the documents from her colleague and stared blankly at the full screen of the computer. She deleted it and said, “I’ve come up with something, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

The female colleague shrugged. “Nelissa has been acting weird these days. Maybe it’s her period. Women always have emotional days every month.”

At work.

Throughout the morning, Nelissa was in a daze. She kept fiddling with her phone, clicked on her contact list, exited it, and clicked on it again. She didn’t know what she was thinking. She said that the person who was separated was her, and the person she couldn’t bear to part with was her. She seemed to be a bitch!

She knew that she could not find Edward. It was better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It would only make her feel worse if she continued to pester him.

Nelissa took a deep breath and told herself,

She had to endure it. She had to endure it. There was a turning point in everything. It would take another year and a half for others to be addicted to children. She would be fine if she could hold on for a while. Now, she was more emotional than rational, so she wanted to see Edward.

Nelissa called a client she had an appointment with in the afternoon and changed the time to tomorrow afternoon.

She was not in a good condition today. Even if she went out to talk about the order, she would make mistakes. She might as well change the day. If she offended a client because of this, she would just lose a list. She suddenly became a little numb to money.

Fortunately, the customers were easy to talk to and did not mind changing the time. Nelissa did not know if it had something to do with Edward. He had left her and still had influence on her. Other customers who knew her would still give in to her because of his identity.

After finishing the phone call, Nelissa and the client lay on their desk. It was already noon. Other colleagues went out to have lunch, and only she was stunned.

Jolene tidied up his work and walked out of the office in his high heels. He patted Nelissa and said, “Nelissa, let’s go out for dinner. I’ll treat you.”

“Oh.” Nelissa followed him listlessly.

They ate Western food, so Nelissa didn’t have much appetite. She gave more than half of the steak to Jolene, and she only ate a little.

While eating, Jolene looked at Nelissa. With their many years of experience, Jolene knew that she must have something on her mind. He couldn’t help but ask her, “Is your mother’s condition very serious?”

Nelissa paused and shook her head in confusion. “No.”

Jolene looked at her seriously. “Are you alright? You’re already on the verge of tears and your eyes are so red.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Nelissa put down her knife and fork and caressed the corners of her eyes with her white fingers. She felt sour and bitter. She felt a little pain in the blink of an eye. She was indeed in a terrible mood. Even she did not know that she was about to cry. She thought that in the eyes of others, she was at least calm.

Sigh, she was overthinking things.

She sighed inwardly and said to Jolene, “It really isn’t like that. Don’t overthink things. I’m going to the washroom.”

Jolene was speechless. His expression was like a pitiful child who had been abandoned.

In the ladies’ room.

Nelissa opened the towel, washed her hands, and washed her face. Her eyes were indeed a little red. She wiped the water with a handkerchief and was too lazy to cover up her makeup. She planned to abandon herself for a few days and forget her image.

Putting away the handkerchief, Nelissa turned around and went into the bathroom’s single room. She locked the door, took out her mobile phone and looked at it for a while. After thinking about the location, she opened Andrew’s phone number and thought about it.

She didn’t call Edward, but she could call Andrew. She just asked him if he had found Edward. After that, she hung up the phone and just said a few words!

Nelissa thought it over and dialed Andrew’s number. She was still worried about Edward. As long as she knew that he was fine, she would not think about him anymore.

After a long while, Andrew picked up the phone and said in a slightly tired voice, “Miss Nelissa.”

Nelissa asked him directly, “Have you found Edward?”

Andrew was in a cold sweat because of this. He was worried and said, “Yes, I found him. Young Mr. Hales is in the villa of Mount Hales. But when I went there, he was already unconscious.”

Nelissa was shocked and asked worriedly, “What happened to him?”

Andrew replied, “Maybe these days, Young Mr. Hales arranged too much work for himself. He couldn’t keep up with his rest and diet, so he fell ill. Now he has a high fever and is very weak.”

Nelissa held her hands tightly and nervously asked, “Did you send him to the hospital?”

Andrew said no, “I’ve already asked the doctor’s team to come to the villa to take care of him. He can’t go to the hospital. If this gets out, the media will definitely exaggerate the matter and it will have a certain impact on the shares of the Hales Group. Moreover, Mikaelson is currently in the hospital, and his health is not good. If he knows that Young Mr. Hales is in the hospital, the old man may have a serious situation.”

As expected of Edward’s right-hand assistant, Andrew said in a calm tone, “Miss Nelissa, you also know the situation in Young Mr. Hales’s family. From Young Mr. Hales’s point of view, a very small thing will become a big cause of trouble. As Young Mr. Hales’s assistant, I must carefully analyze the situation. Don’t worry, the level of the doctors is very high. The environment of the villa is better than that of the hospital. Young Mr. Hales will be fine.”

Nelissa’s heart ached for Edward. Other people would go to see a doctor when they were ill, and he had to consider the basic situation. In this way, he was willing to take care of the overall situation for her and didn’t hesitate to break up with his family.

She had betrayed his sincerity and betrayed him.

She asked Andrew, “Is he awake?”

Assistant Andrew did not answer the phone in Edward’s bedroom. Instead, he said on the balcony, “I woke up once. But my consciousness is very fuzzy, so I told him something and fell asleep. Do you want to come and see him?”

“I…” Nelissa’s mind was in a mess and she couldn’t think clearly.

Andrew seemed to think that her relationship with Edward was still good, but who knew that she was the one who caused Edward’s illness.

He was in a bad mood and worked hard for himself. Last night, he must have seen her with Jordan. He was even angrier and more disappointed. With his temper, he must think that she was playing with his feelings. This was also good. After he recovered from his illness, he would hate her and would not pester her anymore. He would even dislike her more.

She should have refused him, or it would be better for her to be a little cold-blooded. When Edward woke up and spread the news to his ears, he would have completely given up on her and no one could persuade her to stay.

But why? She really wanted to cry. She couldn’t bear to part with this man…

“Miss Nelissa?” Andrew was confused. He couldn’t hear the voice on the other end of the phone clearly.

Nelissa bit her lip tightly and held back her tears. She couldn’t bear to part with Edward. She wanted to see him and cling on to this man regardless of the consequences. She didn’t want any reason. Even if she would get her mother into trouble in the future, even if she lost everything, she still wanted to see Edward.

In fact, she was afraid to see Edward’s hateful and indifferent eyes.

He loved her so much. She could not imagine how much he hated her in the future.

After waiting for a long time, Andrew could not hear Nelissa’s reply. He had no choice but to say, “Miss Nelissa, is the signal on your side not good? If so, I have something else to do here. I’ll hang up first. What’s the matter with Young Mr. Hales? I’ll call you again. Goodbye.”

“Beep, beep…” The phone was hung up.

Holding her phone, Nelissa’s wet eyelashes trembled, and her tears fell down her white cheeks. She opened the toilet door with trembling fingers. Looking at herself crying so hard in the mirror, she desperately wiped her tears with her hands and blushed. Her shoulders trembled with tears.

When the ladies in the washroom saw this, they thought that Nelissa had broken up with someone else. Now that there were so many couples who had committed suicide because of breaking up with someone else, they were definitely trapped in love.

The lady was worried that Nelissa wouldn’t be able to do anything stupid, so she quickly left the bathroom after washing her hands.

Nelissa stayed in the bathroom for a while, washed her face, took her bag, and left the western restaurant. She didn’t go back to Jolene’s place.

She walked to the road, intercepted the search team, and called Jolene. “Jolene…”

With just two words, Jolene interrupted Nelissa. “Where did you go? Why did it take so long to go to the bathroom?”
