My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1981

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Sierra had been busy managing her new store for the past five days. She was a meticulous person, so she did most of the work herself.

From the ornaments in the shop to the stock shelves, she designed them all.

She had been working day and night, so she was inevitably worn out after such a hectic period.

Fortunately, most of the preparations were complete and the store would be ready for business once the goods had arrived.

"Here, Sierra, have a glass of water before you get back to work." Diana was a longtime employee who had been working for Sierra for many years. She was there at the new store to help out.

Seeing how busy Sierra was, Diana felt distressed. "Look at you, Sierra. You've lost so much weight in the past few days."

"Have I?" Sierra accepted the cup and took a sip on it. Pinching her face, she said, "You must be kidding me, Diana. Look, my face is still chubby." "What do you mean by chubby? You won't look good if you keep losing weight." Diana urged Sierra to drink up while saying, "You should get some rest at home tomorrow. I'll take care of everything here."

Sierra wasn't just beautiful and eloquent, she was an independent and capable woman too. Hence, she was well liked by all her employees.

In particular, Diana, who had worked with her for many years. She adored her as though she was her younger sister.

That store was Sierra's third branch, and she was the one who founded the brand. Besides, she had a good eye for fashion, so their business had been booming ever since it was founded.

At a time like that, when countless stores were forced to close due to the competition posed by online businesses, Sierra had managed to open up another two new outlets. It was indeed a rare feat.

"You know me, Diana. I won't be able to sit still until the new store is open." Sierra wanted to take some time off too, but that was her store after all; her blood, sweat and tears. She would be anxious if she wasn't personally there to get everything going.

Sierra had always been that way. She would either do something to the best of her abilities or she would simply not do it at all.

Sierra would never let anyone think that she was just some airhead who lived off the Yard family.

In fact, the Yard family had gotten her a fairly decent job at a reputable company, but she desired freedom. So, she quit the job and started her own business.

However, no one from the Yard family stopped her. The success of her business was not crucial to them for they did not lack such money. To them, all was well as long as Sierra was happy with what she was doing.

"I know you can't, but the busy schedule is taking a toll on your body. We're opening the day after tomorrow. You should recharge yourself by then. That way, you will only have the energy to host the opening ceremony, right?" Diana wished that she could just take Sierra home and lock her up. Sierra came from a well off family and she could do and have anything she wanted, yet she insisted on working her a*s off like that.

As a person who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and yet so diligent, Diana sincerely thought that Sierra truly deserved to succeed in life.

"Diana, I'm fine..." Sierra protested.

"Enough of that. Go home and take a nap now. Don't even think of waking up until you've repaid all your sleep debt." Diana pushed Sierra out of the store and urged, "Go quickly. Don't come back until you're well-rested."

"Excuse me, Diana, I'm the b.." Before Sierra could finish her words, a deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind, finishing her sentence. "A boss who got kicked out by her own employees. I expected nothing less of you, Sierra."

Sierra was extremely familiar with that voice. However, there was no way that he would show up there.

Perhaps she was hallucinating from all the exhaustion.

Sierra shook her head and decided to heed Diana's advice to get some sleep at home.

However, she did not expect that Johan, who she hadn't seen in at least half a month since he had gone on his business trip, would show up right in front of her the moment she turned around.

Johan was dressed in a suit with a pair of leather shoes on his feet. He looked well-groomed and his face was handsome as always. Coupled with his devilish eyes, he was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one among the crowd.

At that moment, he was standing in front of her in a casual manner but he was still able to attract Sierra's attention.

Sierra knew that she shouldn't have looked at him, so she quickly shifted her gaze. She scooted past him and was about to leave when Johan reached out and grabbed her by the wrist. He told her, "Come with me."

As Sierra's gaze fell on his hand, the irony of the entire situation immediately hit her.

Sierra used to be the one to make the first move and she was always the one who followed him wherever he went.

But now...

She shrugged her hand away, trying to get rid of him, but he was holding her too tightly. She said, "Please let me go, Mr. Silas."

Johan repeated casually, "I said, come with me."

"Go with you?" Sierra smiled with joy. "Well, I still remember that one time when you got a new car immediately after I rode in your car. And ever since that time, I've never seen you driving that car again. That happened just a few months ago. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"

Of course Johan hadn't, but he had a reason for doing what he did. Johan did not explain much but merely asked, "Don't you want to talk to me?"

"Besides our divorce, we have nothing else to talk about." Before Sierra could withdraw her hand, Johan tightened his grip and shoved her into his car, saying, "Then let's talk about the divorce."

"Actually, we can let our lawyers do the talking instead. Once everything is settled, we can just go to the City Bureau to get the procedure done." Basically, Sierra didn't want to stay with Johan for even a single second. She felt like her lifespan was shortening every second that went by with him.

"Sierra, have you never taken my words to heart?" Johan said as he got into the car, and his powerful aura enveloped her, making her feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Mr. Silas, I'm afraid you have misunderstood me. I kept every word you said etched in mind. I've never for once dared to forget a single word you've said." If it was not so, why would Sierra eventually realize that she would never be able to win his heart no matter how hard she tried?

Sierra finally understood that, but somehow, Johan was starting to get confused by the situation. What on earth was he up to by constantly showing up in front of her?

"In that case, you should remember what I've told you the previous time. I said that since you were the one who decided on our marriage, then I'll get to decide when we'll get the divorce. As long as I don't agree with it, you will be my wife even after death." Johan gritted his teeth.

"Please don't say that, Mr. Silas. Your words are going to make me misunderstand that you've fallen in love with me," Sierra said with a smile as she knew deep down that such a scenario was utterly impossible.

However, Sierra also hated herself for being a wimp. She knew that he was a man with a heart of stone, but she still made such a childish joke.

Pigs would fly before he would ever have any feelings for her.

Sure enough, after saying that, Sierra noticed that Johan's face had darkened and his eyes were filled with hatred.

Yes, he hated her.

Ever since that incident, he loathed her, and wished that she could vanish from the face of the earth and never show up in front of him ever again.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
