The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 114

Roxanne eyed Harrison, her gaze serious to match his own solemn expression, but she couldn't help

but put on a teasing tone.

She walked around him, examining him closely.

"You look young, handsome, very charismatic, just like what a top billionaire of Seraphim Haven should

be. In novels, the image of a CEO is usually someone young, tall, and handsome just like you. You fit

perfectly into the stereotype of a CEO in novels."

She took another look around him, then stopped in front of him, straightened his suit, and gave a small

smile. "But in reality, billionaires are not as handsome as you, and they are usually much older. Look at

Elon Musk, then Jeff Bezos. They are either not very handsome or old."

Harrison stood there, his back still as straight as a pole.

"Are there no young and handsome billionaires like me in reality?"

Without a second thought, Roxanne replied with a laugh.

"If there are, show me one. Plus, Harrison, if you were the top billionaire of Seraphim Haven, wouldn't I

be a tycoon's wife?"

Harrison frowned, seemingly a bit helpless.

Why wouldn't she believe him?

He looked at Roxanne seriously, "What if you really are a tycoon's wife?"

Roxanne pretended to think seriously, "Then I'll have to think about it. If I really married the top

billionaire of Seraphim Haven and become a tycoon's wife, I would definitely quit my job and stop

working. I would spend my days shopping and eating good food with the black card my rich husband

gave me, not having to do anything or worry about anything."

Hearing her say this, Harrison's tense back finally relaxed a bit.

He started to say, "I also think you don't need to work so hard, you could stay at home..."

Before he could finish, Roxanne patted his arm and said firmly,

"Alright, stop dreaming. If you were really the top billionaire of Seraphim Haven, would you marry an

ordinary woman like me?"

"Thinking about becoming the top billionaire of Seraphim Haven is absurd. It's something that's

impossible to happen, why even consider it?"

"Let's head to the airport, we can't miss our flight."

Seeing that he was still standing there, Roxanne went over to grab the suitcase and handed it to him.

"Take the suitcase, let's get a taxi fast."

She picked up her bag and walked ahead.

As she walked, she expressed her thoughts.

"I'd rather work hard to earn money than daydream about becoming a tycoon's wife. What's better than

earning your own money and feeling grounded?"

Watching her thin figure, Harrison frowned.

He was really anxious now.

He was usually a smart and decisive person, why would he become so anxious in front of Roxanne?

He was truly afraid of losing her, so he didn't dare to tell her the truth.

Dragging the suitcase, he quickened his pace to catch up with Roxanne, took her bag and hung it on

the suitcase, then held Roxanne's hand.

Her warm palm was clearly in his, tightly held by him.

Yet he felt like she could leave at any moment.

He held on tightly, and Roxanne glanced at him.

"Harrison, why are you holding me so tightly, are you afraid I'll leave you?"

"I am indeed worried you'll leave me."

"Don't worry, I plan to stay with you, I won't leave."

...

Three hours later, the plane landed smoothly in Seraphim Haven.

Once off the plane, Roxanne immediately took off her coat.

Warmville was in autumn.

But Seraphim Haven was still experiencing high temperatures.

Life became busy again.

These days, Roxanne encountered some trouble.

Her half-brother Nathaniel was constantly harassing her.

Roxanne had already blocked and deleted Nathaniel's phone number and social media accounts.

But Nathaniel kept pestering her by changing his number.

One early morning, just as Roxanne was getting in the car to take Harrison to the subway station, she

received a call from Nathaniel.

"Roxanne, is your heart made of stone?"

"Our father is in the hospital, unable to take care of himself. You, as his daughter, don't contribute

money, don't put in efforts, and don't even pay him a visit, are you dead?"

"He should have gotten rid of you, a cold-blooded person, long ago."

His scolding was loud.

Roxanne's eardrums were almost ruptured.

She moved the phone away to protect her ears.

Nathaniel's scolding continued on the phone...

When he was done, Roxanne asked angrily, "Nathaniel, are you done?"

"No, you are a selfish and ungrateful person, you..."

"Even if you're not done, shut up."

Roxanne was angry!

Did he think she was easy to bully because she didn't lose her temper?

"Nathaniel, did you lick the toilet bowl this morning, your mouth is so smelly?"

"Or did you just crawl out of a sewer, I can even smell your stench through the phone."

"You're a big man with such a foul mouth, only knowing how to insult people, what kind of ability is

that? If you have the guts, come out and we'll have an open confrontation."

Next time she sees Nathaniel, she's going to beat him up so bad that he'll know how tough she is.

Only then will he know to behave.

After hanging up the phone, Roxanne's face was still filled with anger.

Harrison, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw her in a bad mood and rubbed her head.

"What's wrong, who made you so angry?"

Roxanne tried her best to control her mood and forced herself to calm down, "It's nothing, let's get you

to the subway station."

She couldn't let that jerk Nathaniel ruin Harrison's good mood in the morning.

She drove out of the residential parking lot.

She had gotten very familiar with this 'lottery-won' Porsche.

Soon, they arrived at the subway station.

Harrison was about to get out of the car, but seeing that they still had some time, Roxanne held onto

his arm.

"Harrison, we've been married for quite a while now, and yet I still don't know where your company is

located. Since we've got time, why don't you ditch the subway today and I'll drive you to your office?"

Harrison frowned, how was he supposed to answer this?

He couldn't take her to the headquarters of the Rodriguez Group.

The Rodriguez Group owned five management companies, nine tier-one investment companies, and

seventeen listed companies.

The business empire spanned real estate, jewelry, hotels, internet, healthcare, investment banking, and

more.

Some of the companies were located in Seraphim Haven, while others were elsewhere. The nearest

one to Roxanne's new company was located in Investor Complex on Southside Street. Harrison gave

Roxanne the address.

Roxanne happily exclaimed, "Harrison, your office is so close to mine! I'll drive you there!"

About half an hour later, Roxanne gently parked her Porsche in the Investor Complex's ground parking

lot.

She got out of the car and looked at the building, saying, "Oh my god, Harrison, your company building

looks so luxurious. It's quite something."

Harrison also got out of the car and stood next to her. "It's alright," he said nonchalantly.

Roxanne asked, "How many floors does this building have?"

Harrison answered, "168."

Roxanne exclaimed, "What a luxurious office building!"

Her and Chloe's new company was located on the ground floor of a residential building by the

roadside, which didn't look fancy. She yearned for such an upscale corporate environment.

Roxanne asked, "Harrison, on which floor do you work? Can I visit your company?"

Harrison hesitated, Roxanne added, "I'm making grilled chicken and mushroom soup for lunch, I'd like

to deliver it to you."

Of course, Harrison wanted to taste Roxanne's homemade grilled chicken and mushroom soup.

He said, "You can bring it at lunch, I'll come downstairs to get it. Our company's strict, outsiders can't Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

come in."

Roxanne said, "Alright, I'll bring the lunch to the front door at noon."

Harrison asked, "What time will you come? I'll wait for you downstairs."

Roxanne asked, "What time do you finish work?"

Harrison said, "Half past eleven in the morning."

Roxanne said, "Then I'll come at half past eleven, I don't have much to do today, you should head into

work now."

Harrison ruffled Roxanne's hair, reminded her to drive carefully, and then he walked toward the main

entrance of Investor Complex.

Harrison was right, Investor Complex did not allow outsiders to enter. Employees could swipe their

cards to get inside, but as a non-employee without an appointment, he was naturally stopped.

Although the investment company was his, he hadn't been here in a year, and apart from the CEO, no

one else knew him. A small receptionist naturally didn't know who he was.

The receptionist said, "I'm sorry, but you can't come in without an appointment."

Harrison frowned.

He couldn't blame the receptionist.

He had never published his photo in the group.

Except for the core senior staff, who knew him?

He called the CEO of the investment company.

He said, "Caleb, can you come downstairs and get me?"

"Mr. Harrison, you're at Investor Complex?"

Caleb was suddenly flustered.

Was Mr. Harrison here for a surprise inspection?

He wasn't prepared at all.

He's in a panic.

He hurriedly said, "Mr. Harrison, please wait a moment, I'll come down to pick you up right away."

Harrison thought that Roxanne might often come here in the future, he did not want to reveal his

identity, so he asked Caleb to keep a low profile and not make a big fuss.

He stood where Roxanne couldn't see, waiting.

Outside the building.

Roxanne got back into the driver's seat of the Porsche. This car was a reward she and Harrison won in

a lottery at a car dealer’s shop, she drove it away for free. Even though she had the car for several

days now, she still couldn't quite believe her luck.

She just casually joined a draw and won a free Porsche? Her luck was unstoppable.

Roxanne smiled widely.

Just as she was about to drive off, another Porsche parked arrogantly in front of her, blocking her path.

She honked her horn.

The guy rolled down his window, "Roxanne, you got a new ride? When did you start driving a Porsche?

Don't tell me you rented it?"

"Nathaniel?" Roxanne frowned, "Do you work here?"

What bad luck she got for running into him here?

Nathaniel got out of his car, sizing up Roxanne's Porsche, which was the same model as his.

He was very familiar with this car, the purchase price was $120,000.

Roxanne surely couldn't afford it.

"Roxanne, renting a car must be quite expensive, huh."

Nathaniel leaned on Roxanne's car window, looking at her scornfully.

Seeing this face that looked somewhat like Sebastian's, Roxanne's good mood instantly disappeared.

"Move your car."

"Want me to move my car? Dream on. If you have guts, hit my car. Roxanne, let me tell you, go to the

hospital to take care of Sebastian, then I'll move my car. Anyway, we have plenty of cars at home, we

won't miss this one."

Nathaniel stood up straight, pointing to the Investor Complex behind him.

"See that? I'm the CFO of this investment company, after the CEO, I have the most power. On my turf,

don't even think about driving away smoothly."

After that, he called the HR department.

He asked them to inform the other three car owners to park their cars here and not to move them.

So, Roxanne's car was blocked in the middle.

She couldn't drive it out.

Anger suddenly welled up in her chest.

She got out of the car, clenched her fists, and glared at Nathaniel.

She really wanted to punch him to death.

"Want to hit someone?"

Nathaniel looked at her clenched fist and sneered.

"Don't you see who's turf this is? If you dare touch me, I can call a bunch of security guys with one

phone call. I could even sue you for intentional assault and get you locked up."

Not far away, Harrison was waiting for Caleb.

Caleb, with his big belly, looked every inch the boss of a major company.

However, when he saw Harrison, he was still respectful.

"Mr. Harrison, sorry to keep you waiting."

Harrison didn't respond.

He frowned as he watched the situation with Roxanne from afar.

"Mr. Harrison, what are you looking at?"

Caleb followed his gaze and saw a tall woman arguing with their company's CFO.

"Mr. Harrison?"

Harrison continued to stare in Roxanne's direction.

"That's my wife."

Caleb felt a pang of panic.

Mr. Harrison's wife had come with him?

Nathaniel was really clueless, he couldn't even recognize Mr. Harrison's wife. He really lacked insight.

"Mr. Harrison, I'll call Nathaniel right away. He certainly didn't mean to block Mrs. Rodriguez's car."

"No need."

He briefly explained the situation to Caleb and then asked him to handle the matter.

Caleb nodded, "Understood, I'll get on it right away."

In the parking lot.

Nathaniel was arrogant.

"Roxanne, let me make this clear to you today. If you don't go to the hospital to care for Sebastian who

can't take care of himself, you can forget about driving your car away."

"We'll just have a standoff here, let's see who gives up first."

Roxanne knew she was stuck today because of Nathaniel.

She originally wanted to call Harrison.

She figured since Harrison worked here, he could help her out.

But then she thought, Harrison is just a programmer here.

And Nathaniel is the CFO, a higher position than Harrison's.

Better not to call and avoid Nathaniel finding out Harrison also works here and causing him trouble.

"Nathaniel, do I have to go take care of Sebastian just because you told me to?"

"Did Sebastian put me through school or raise me?"

"He didn't fulfill his duties as a father, didn't care about me since I was a kid, why should I take care of

him?"

"Instead, you should be the one taking care of him. Sebastian raised you, even bought you two houses

at Seraphim Haven. It's you who's wrong if you don't take care of him."

"No problem, if you won't let me drive, I can have your car towed away."

"I absolutely won't go to the hospital to take care of Sebastian."

"Don't even dream about it."

Just then, Caleb walked over.

Although Caleb is Nathaniel's boss, Nathaniel's mother and grandfather have influence at Seraphim

Haven.

So, Caleb usually treats Nathaniel quite politely.

But now, he was berating Nathaniel.

After he finished, Nathaniel was puzzled, "Mr. Caleb, are you out of your mind today?"

Caleb, "You're the one out of your mind. You're a man, why are you bullying a girl?"

Nathaniel, "This is between her and me."

Caleb, "I don't care what's going on between you two, just move your car now and let her go."

Nathaniel was confused, "Mr. Caleb, do you know her? Why are you helping her?"

Not just Nathaniel was confused, Roxanne was also puzzled.

Why was this man called Mr. Caleb helping her?

Without responding to Nathaniel, Caleb turned to Roxanne with a smile and apologized profusely.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Martinez, my subordinate has no manners. I'll have him move the car right away and

clear the way for you."

Roxanne was full of questions.

"How do you know my last name?"

Nathaniel, standing nearby, slapped Caleb on the shoulder, "Who is she to you, that you're helping her

so much?"

"Ms. Martinez is nothing to me." Caleb glared at Nathaniel, his eyes full of warning, "But do you know

who she is?"
