CHAPTER 232: HE HAS A CRUSH ON A GIRL

Julian said, "You are here! Come on in!"

His words made Margaret angry as if what Julian said was that he missed Hilla so much, and he couldn’t wait anymore!

"As expected, this asshole still has thoughts towards Hilla!" Margaret thought.

Margaret felt that she had made it very clear. Hilla was pregnant with Bruce’s child.

How dared Julian still have fantasies about Hilla? He was shameless.

In Margaret’s eyes, Julian was extremely mean. Moreover, he was also narrow-minded.

Margaret was glad that Hilla didn’t choose Julian.

Even though Margaret stood between Julian and Hilla, Julian looked straight at Hilla with a gentle look. Seeing that, Margaret clenched her teeth angrily.

Hilla replied with a smile, "Why are you here? Why didn’t you inform me in advance? You don’t need to make up such reason to get to see me."

Hilla was only joking with Julian. Ever since she married into the Anderson family, she had already made it very clear to Julian.

Moreover, she knew what kind of person Julian really was. The two of them had not contacted each other for the past year, but they could not treat each other as strangers.

Although Hilla thought about defriending Julian, she later felt that since they had made things clear, they didn’t have to pretend that they didn’t know each other.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Keeping a certain distance was better for them.

However, Margaret was completely shocked by Hilla’s words. Margaret felt uneasy.

"Hilla also wants to meet him!" Margaret thought.

It was over. It seemed that Bruce had already been cuckolded. What should Margaret do? Should she suspect that the child in Hilla’s belly was not Bruce’s?

After all, Bruce had been trying very hard to get Hilla pregnant for the last two years, Margaret was almost certain that Bruce was infertile.

"Is it possible that Hilla was afraid that Bruce would be sad, so she had a child with another man and said that it is Bruce’s?" Margaret thought.

Margaret felt that maybe she was thinking too much.

She was totally lost in her own thoughts.

Then she saw Hilla walk past her and enter Julian’s room.

Margaret thought, "Why is Hilla going into Julian’s room? Are they giving me a

chance to catch them cheating on site?"

They were far too bold. Margaret thought that they would have affair with her present. Margaret swore in her heart that she would tell everything about their relationship to Orlenna.

Hilla sat down on the sofa in the living room and said, "Who are you going to order clothes for? Is she here? Or do you have her size?"

Hilla didn’t care much about whether Julian had a woman, and she was also not curious about that.

Hilla knew that this was Julian’s private, and she was just an ordinary friend of his.

"No hurry. I’ll send you the size later. Do you want coffee or juice?"

"A cup of water will do. I’m pregnant!"

Hilla smiled. She didn’t try to cover this news or show it off.

Julian was stunned for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, I forgot."

Hilla was confused.

She didn’t remember herself telling people outside the Anderson family that she was pregnant. Moreover, she was only pregnant for more than a month. According to Orlenna, the news should not be announced to the outside world until she was pregnant for three months.

How did Julian know that she was pregnant?

Hilla found it very confusing, and then she saw Julian pour herself a cup of water.

Then Julian placed a cup of instant coffee in front of Margaret.

Margaret glanced at him coldly and said in disgust, "Thank you but I only drink freshly ground coffee."

Hilla said awkwardly, "Margaret does not drink instant coffee."

Hilla still remembered that when she met Margaret for the first time, Margaret had told her that instant coffee was only for the poor, and Margaret never drank instant coffee.

Bruce gave Margaret a lot of living allowance every month, but that was never enough for her.

She was the eldest daughter of the Anderson family after all!

Julian showed no embarrassment. He calmly said, "I know. It doesn’t matter if she drinks it or not."

Hilla felt awkward as she sat there.

Did she ignore something?

Margaret thought, "As expected, this guy is not a good person."

He gave all the gentleness and consideration to Hilla.

Margaret was a little angry at Orlenna once. She blamed Orlenna for making Hilla, such a beautiful and tender girl, Bruce’s wife. In that case, they would have to spend extra effort on keeping an eye on Hilla.

Margaret was a bit disappointed by Bruce. If it wasn’t for Bruce not being able to have Hilla fallen for him, had hooked up Hilla, Hilla would not be seduced away by other men?

Margaret gritted her teeth and angrily picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip.

Her angry face was cute, and her red lips were dyed with the light brown coffee, making them even more charming.

Julian lowered his eyes and said softly, "If Miss Anderson doesn’t want to drink it, then don’t force yourself."

Hilla also felt the same way. She could easily see that Margaret didn’t enjoy the coffee at all.

"Margaret, what do you think of the coffee?"

Hilla asked. Margaret had another sip. She didn’t even raise her head as she said, "It’s not bad. It tastes good."

It was not that she never had instant coffee. When she was working in the Jorgansen Group, she was very poor. Back then, instant coffee was a kind of enjoyment for her.

However, now Julian brought this to her. Margaret felt that he was insulting her. Compared to the way he treated her, Julian was so gentle to Hilla. "Hilla, wait a moment. I will give the size to you."

Seeing Julian stand up, Hilla also saw that there was no woman in his room, so she nodded and waited.

"Don’t you like Rigel?"

Hilla was still used to calling Julian "Rigel", which made her feel that their relationship hadn’t changed.

Margaret frowned and said fiercely, "Why would I like him? He is so annoying."

Julian, who just walked out of the room, smiled, and his gaze fell on Margaret’s small face. He felt a chill in his heart.

...

Seeing that Margaret had issues with Julian, Hilla decided to drop this topic. Even Hilla didn’t figure it out, she only explained, "Julian is a nice guy."

Margaret rolled her eyes and snorted.

It seemed that Margaret had a deep prejudice about Julian.

"Here are sizes."

Julian placed a note in front of Hilla. Margaret took it away before Hilla got it, "I’ll keep it for you."

She would check if Julian wrote any codes or love words to Hilla on this note.

Hilla was embarrassed. She looked at Julian and said, "I would love to personally discuss the dress style with the one who will dress it personally."

People had different preferences. The more she understood her clients, the better she would make them happy. Hilla thought that this was necessary.

Julian smiled, "One of them is for my mother’s birthday."

Hilla was stunned. Then she laughed, "It is for your mother. I see."

She had met Julian’s parents before. Mrs. Jorgansen was a plain and traditional woman. Julian took after his mother.

Margaret bit her lips and tightly clenched the note in her hand.

Julian even asked Hilla to meet his parents and please his mother. Julian had done so much for Hilla!

Julian nodded and simply replied, "Thank you. It’s no hurry. You can give it to me next month. Your condition..."

"Don’t worry. I’m just a designer and will not do everything on my own. I can design even I’m pregnant."

Hilla responded. Julian said, "Take care of yourself."

Hilla felt comfortable and relax when they talked as friends. Before continuing their conversation, Hilla turned around. She was shocked when she saw Margaret’s expression.

What was going on? Margaret’s face grew longer and grimmer.

"Margaret, why do you tear the not?"

Seeing the paper ball in Margaret’s hand, Hilla immediately grabbed her hand in panic.

Margaret had destroyed the note even before they left.

Margaret guiltily looked at the paper ball in her hand and replied, "I have forgotten

about it."

Hilla thought that she shouldn’t have given it to Margaret. What an unreliable person Margaret was.

Hilla looked at Julian and smiled carelessly and said, "I’ll send it to your phone."

Hilla said, "If I knew that my client is you, I will ask you directly to send it to my phone." She was no need to come over.

Julian smiled and didn’t say anything else. Hilla didn’t mind meeting a friend. They had not seen each other for a long time.

Margaret was stunned. Julian found a good excuse to keep in contact with Hilla.

Margaret frowned and said, "Please send the information to my phone. I am Hilla’s assistant."

Hilla was surprised. She had never agreed on Margaret to do so!

Looking at Julian, Hilla pulled Margaret and said, "I have Julian’s Line. You don’t bother to do that."

After Hilla finished her words, Julian said, "Okay!"

Hilla was confused. What was going on here? Did they have each other’s Line?"

Margaret snorted coldly and stood up with Hilla, "Hilla, let’s go."

Since Julian would send the sizes to her phone, there was no need for Hilla to stay any longer.

"Wait a minute."

Julian looked at Hilla. Margaret stepped forward and stood in front of Hilla. She knew that Julian would play tricks.

"Why? Is there anything else?"

Hilla thought that Julian could send her messages to explain his requests. It was no need to do it personally.

She felt that Margaret was unfriendly to Julian.

"I suppose that you’ve known the requests about my mother’s. I would like to explain another one to you alone."

Julian gave Hilla two sizes and they were for two people. Hilla was stunned, then nodded.

Julian continued, "Please come with me." Margaret wondered if she had ruined Julian’s plan.

Seeing that Hilla followed Julian and walked into the bedroom, Margaret unbelievably widened her eyes.

Couldn’t they wait to be together under her watch?

Julian was not even afraid that she would find out. Was he afraid that she would tell on him?

Margaret clutched her chest. When she was about to rush over and smash the door, the bedroom door was opened. Hilla came out in less than five minutes.

Margaret wondered if Julian couldn’t last long.

Hilla had a piece of cloth in her hand. It was a piece of black cloth that had dark non-obvious patterns, flashing under the light. Seeing this cloth, Margaret ran to Hilla and said with a smile, "It is so beautiful."

Women could never resist beautiful things. Even it was from someone she hated! "Indeed, it is rare."

Hilla was also delighted. She was surprised that this cloth was not for Julian’s mother, but someone else. Did he have a crush on a girl?

Hilla was not a gossip girl. She and Julian were friends and this was Julian’s private matter. She was just curious.

Walking out of the hotel, Hilla spoke to Julian, "Let’s have a meal together when you are free."

Julian said with a smile, "You can bring Mr. Anderson."

Margaret took this sentence as a provocation. Was the Anderson family not good enough in Julian’s mind?

Margaret rolled her eyes. She held Hilla’s hand and dragged her away before Hilla responded.

On their way back home, Hilla looked at Margaret, whose expression was ugly, and asked, "What’s the matter? Have you known Julian before?"

Hilla thought it over. The Jorgansen Group dominated the business world in Far City and everyone knew them.

Margaret had worked as an assistant in Far City for a year. She often participated in banquets with her boss and should know Julian.

Thinking about this, Hilla thought that she had figured it out.

It might be that Margaret worked for Julian’s competitor in Far City, and that was why Margaret hated Julian.

Margaret had resigned from that company. She should not be so emotional.

"Julian is an upright man. If you had any misunderstanding on business, I believe that he is not the kind of guy playing tricks."

Hilla explained in a low voice, hoping to remove Margaret’s misunderstanding. After

all, Julian was a friend like her brother, and Margaret was her sister-in-law.

Margaret stared at Hilla. They just left Julian and Hilla had taken his side.

They must have an affair.
