Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 27 For the Sake of Money

Ophelia’s frayed nerves were soothed.

She answered the phone, “Hi.”

“What's the matter with you? Are you crying?” Zachariah's voice came through the phone.

Ophelia was like a child lost on her way, and started crying immediately before replying, “Zachariah, Madeleine was hit by a car. I'm so scared, I'm really scared…”

Zachariah's voice sounded deep over the phone, but it miraculously calmed her down, “Calm down first, and don't be panic. Answer my questions one by one, are you injured?”

Ophelia took a deep breath, as if she had found her sense of security. She was not as stressed as before when she heard his voice.

“Madeleine pushed me away, so the car didn't hit me.” Ophelia said truthfully.

“It’s good that you are okay. I will send Jimmy over. I will take the earliest flight back tomorrow. Please stop overthinking about it.”

Ophelia felt warm. Because of Zachariah's attitude, she was finally not so lost. Even though they were just a nominal couple, Zachariah’s words comforted her.

“Mr. Chambers, thank you.” Ophelia said sincerely.

Zachariah was stunned for a while, and his voice became deeper, “You are my wife and just survived a car accident. I should care about you. Don't think too much, I’m still in a meeting and I’ll fly back right after dawn. That’s it for now. I’ll hang up.”

Zachariah hung up the phone.

Although Zachariah did not comfort his panicking wife like other husbands in a kind manner, he suggest to send someone immediately, which showed that he did care about her, which he always said he didn’t.

After speaking with Zachariah on the phone, Ophelia seemed to have found a supporter, and soon calmed down.

Not long after, Jimmy rushed over.

She was a tall, young woman in her twenties. As soon as she walked in front of Ophelia, she said very politely, “Madam, I’m Jimmy, so just call me Jimmy like everyone else. I’m sent by Mr. Chambers.”

Ophelia smiled at her and said, “I'm sorry to trouble you at this time.”

“Madam, please don’t say that. I’m a subordinate of Mr. Chambers. My mission is to solve problems for my boss, and that is how I make a living. Besides, it’s a private matter. Mr. Chambers said if I can make you happy, he’ll give me a pay rise.” Jimmy blinked wittily when she said that, weakening her image as a capable office lady, and adding a touch of cuteness to her as a girl, which amused Ophelia.

Jimmy uttered with a sigh of relief, “You are smiling, which means I’m half way through my mission” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Ophelia pointed to the chair and said, “Have a seat please.”

“Madam, you can take the seat, and I'll stand by your side.” said Jimmy.

“We are about the same age, so don't call me Madam anymore. It sounds awkward. If you don't mind, just call me Ophelia.” Ophelia said while sitting down.

Jimmy's eyes flashed, and then she said sincerely, “You are much easier to get along with than I thought.”

Ophelia patted the seat beside her, “Please take a seat.”

Jimmy didn't decline this time, and sat down beside her. Ophelia made fun of her, “Why, was I a tigress in your mind?”

Jimmy shook her head. In the silent night, they were like two ladies who have known each other for a long time, talking freely.

“Of course not! You are so beautiful, in an offensive way, and no one will deny that you are charming. In my opinion, you should talk and do things like a rose with thorns. I didn’t expect...” Jimmy wished to speak, but stopped half-way on a second thought.

“You didn’t expect that I am so easy to speak with, which was quite different from what you imagined. Are you disappointed now?” Ophelia said unconcernedly.

Jimmy was a little embarrassed.

Ophelia forced a smile, and said, “The gorgeous appearance is just a show to other people. Mr. Chambers hopes that a beautiful and gorgeous wife will drive away a bevy of young girls around him. I take the money to play the role.”

Jimmy look at her in amazement.

Ophelia stared directly at the emergency room that was still lit, and said in a careless way, “Mr. Chambers sent you here, which means he trusts you. You should know everything about us, right?”

Jimmy was noncommittal.
