CHAPTER 494: CHAPTER 494: NO NEED TO PRETEND FOR THIS CHARACTER

Isabella Weaver didn’t go to work and accompanied Harry Hunter to the Star Region Group.

Of course, she proactively wanted to go. Harry hadn’t planned to work, wanting to take her fishing instead. But Isabella said she wanted to check out his company, take a tour, and at the same time intimidate those who had designs on him.

Harry gladly agreed.

So, when he brought Isabella into the group’s building, he didn’t let go of her hand, holding it the whole time.

Isabella tried to withdraw her hand: "So many people are watching, isn’t this inappropriate? You’re the CEO, you need to maintain your image."

"The group’s PR department crafted my image as a doting husband. Do you want me to ruin it?"

"How come there’s this sort of persona? Isn’t the ’golden bachelor’ image popular now?"

"That’s past news, now the ’loving husband’ persona is trending. I think I’m well-suited for it because it doesn’t require any acting."

He enjoys showing affection openly, which is great!

The PR department head got a raise because of it.

Isabella chuckled softly and stopped trying to withdraw her hand. She walked with him through the grand lobby of Star Region, entering the elevator under countless gazes.

The lobby was buzzing with gossip.

"Is that the CEO’s wife? She looks so young! I remember her looking very mature in the news photos."

"I heard she’s only nineteen, hasn’t graduated college, and married into wealth, becoming the Young Madam of the Hunter Family, wow!"

"What’s so special about her? She defeated the heiress of Lewis Clan Group! Holding hands with the CEO in the company, isn’t it too high-profile? A declaration of sovereignty?"

"Who knows, I heard the CEO dotes on her, it’s really envy-inducing."

...

Natalie Niles kept her head down, wearing a work badge like the Star Region employees, blending in among the gossiping women.

Indeed, many women dreamt of winning over Harry Hunter, but he was always the center of attention, always so unattainable.

She glanced coldly at the female employees who had been speaking.

They were uglier than her, yet dared to covet Harry! What daydreams!

In the CEO office of Star Region Group, Alina Fisher served the tea and immediately retreated, fearing she’d be sliced into eight pieces by the CEO’s fierce gaze if she lingered.

Isabella said helplessly: "You’re too hard on them, look how you’ve frightened Secretary Fisher."

"If I were gentle to her, you’d be harsh on me."

"How could I? I’m not a tigress."

"Then who made such a fuss over a female bodyguard last time?"

"Who? Not me!"

Isabella vehemently denied her pettiness: "Alright, go ahead and work, I’ll stroll outside."

She turned to leave but was suddenly lifted by Harry and placed on his desk: "Didn’t we agree you’d accompany me for the day? Leaving me alone here to work, what does that mean?"

"Isn’t it better if I don’t disturb you?"

"I want you to disturb me, even harass me, you could even tempt me."

Harry said, thinking his young wife was becoming more and more delightful, well-nurtured and glowing.
