The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304

As the vice president’s wife, you enjoy the company’s profits. Can’t you even do a little networking for the company?”

After a brief silence, Nicole turned and walked toward Lucille.

“Wait.”

Cedrick stopped her. “I’ll go. This is my business to begin with, and it’s my fault.”

Cedrick walked step by step toward Lucille in the crowd.

She was standing next to Robert, smiling and chatting gracefully with everyone who greeted her. Her red dress made her look like a magnificent peony, a beauty he had never seen before.

“Lucille.”

He finally reached her side.

Lucille glanced at him, nodding and smiling the same way she would to a complete stranger.

“You look beautiful tonight.”

Cedrick rarely got flustered, but he didn’t know what to say.

Lucille kept a calm smile on her face. “Thank you.”

Just like her response to every other compliment at the party tonight.

“Lucille, come over here.”

Robert, who was just a couple of steps away from Lucille, called out to her.

Lucille gave a slight nod and walked over to Robert.

“Lucille!”

Cedrick grabbed Lucille’s arm.

Lucille was getting impatient. “Mr. Maynard, tonight is a meet–and–greet for my brother and his friends in Seaston. If you have work to discuss, you can contact Edwin during business hours.‘

Her tone was strictly business, very distant.

Cedrick stared at her, his voice catching. “What… what did you call me?

Mr. Maynard?”

“What else am I supposed to call you?”

Lucille was indifferent.

It wasn’t the first time she’d called him “Mr. Maynard.” Besides, were there any other names for them to use?

She called him either Mr. Maynard or Cedrick.

And hadn’t he always just called her “Lucille“?

She remembered when they first got married, she envied other couples who had nicknames for each other. She’d foolishly tried calling him “honey,” but he’d awkwardly replied, “Just use my name.”
