Chapter 31 Why is Ms Anderson here?
Intuition told him that she always managed to say something that made him upset.
She continued to say, “Mr Howard, being your mistress was out of my control. At the moment, I have
no way to change things, but if your fiancé was to come find me, I think I should stay low.”
Andrea hasn’t thought too much about this before, after all, all of Baron’s girlfriends were his
mistresses and not his spouse, and he has never had anything to do with a girl from a family of similar
socioeconomic background.
But the rest of his family is overseas, so she can’t be certain. Her principle is to not intervene or get
involved, regardless of her emotions. But now, she can’t protest, so can only try her best to avoid
trouble.
Baron’s cold tone interrupted her thoughts. “Don’t think you can change things. The person who signed
the mistress contract was you, you want to deny it when it was all written clearly in black ink on white
paper? Plus, as long as my condition hasn’t been cured, even if you prove that person wasn’t you, you
can’t leave.”
Andrea bit her lip, and asked, “Then, are you married?”
“I would never accept someone else’s arrangements.” Baron replied. “Even if I get married, you still
have to stay.”
Andrea felt totally defeated by those words. Never mind being his mistress, but even in marriage, she is
still under his control? She didn’t want to continue this conversation, so ended it with silence. She is
working hard to investigate the truth about this anyway, and to end this abnormal relationship.
Suddenly, Baron broke his silence and admitted, “My family has arranged a fiancé for me.” His
expression was blank, but it made Andrea feel he was disgusted. Baron continued. “But I would never
let anyone else tell me what to do, so I would never admit that.”
Andrea nodded, the two of them went back to being silent, with only the sound of chewing filling the
room. After dinner, the chauffer drove them back to the villa.
Andrea had a bath, she wanted to go to bed early. Baron had a shower and went to lie on the bed, he
did not intend to disturb Andrea, and Andrea also had no need to pay him any attention, so she picked
up her phone for entertainment. The two of them lay side by side, then Baron suddenly said, “You don’t
need to worry about any of this.”
As if to promise her, “If I were to get married, my wife must accept your existence, your status is
different.”
Put this way, it made it sound even more disgusting. What girl would be so open to her husband having
a mistress out in the open as public knowledge? Andrea changed the topic. “It’s late, go to sleep.” She
turned with her back facing Baron.
Baron watched her back, and fell into a long silence. The two of them shared the same bed, but neither
had a comfortable slumber. The next morning, Baron seemed to be down in the dumps, while Andrea
couldn’t stop yawning. Neither of them spoke on the way to the company headquarters.
Andrea said good bye to Baron at the KJ Company building, then rode the elevator to the office suites.
Since that day, it seemed like a cold war began. Baron spoke fewer words to Andrea, and the words he
did speak were much more cold in tone; practically the only relationship that remained were their
physical relationship. But this really makes no difference to Andrea, she still can’t be bothered to speak
to Baron. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Zoey had arranged to transfer Harry to an overseas hospital, so Andrea accompanied them overseas.
She went to inspect the hospital, she was very pleased with the hospital. Of course, the fees would be
much higher than a domestic hospital. Zoey smiled and said, “Mr Howard is very attentive to Ms
Anderson’s affairs, this is the first time I have seen him take care of someone like this.” Andrea stood
up straight. That’s because she is not an ordinary mistress. In some ways, she is Baron’s doctor, an
effective medicine for this condition.
After completing the procedures for her brother’s hospital transfer, she returned back home. What she
hadn’t expected, was that Baron would have accompanied the chauffer to pick her up. “Mr Howard.”
Andrea sat in the car, and politely greeted Baron.
“Does the hospital live up to your expectations?” Baron asked. Andrea obediently replied, “There is
nothing to be unsatisfied about, Mr Howard’s arrangements are always the best.” “If there is anything
you are unsatisfied with, you can just tell m – my assistant directly,” he changed mid-sentence. “He
would report every word to me.”
Andrea nodded, telling him she understood, then said nothing after that. Baron was annoyed at her
reaction. He already lowered his status to come pick her up personally, what else did she want?
“Sir,” the chauffer interrupted their thoughts. “Did you want to go the company or the villa?”
“Let’s go back to the villa.” Baron turned to say to Andrea, “Tomorrow, Eason is coming to the company,
I will formally introduce you as a designer to him. So, you should have a good rest today, and have an
appropriate attitude tomorrow.”
Andrea was momentarily stunned, then nodded, yes. She really wanted to fall into a deep sleep and
sleep right through tomorrow. Although, she’s not actually that tired, she didn’t have to worry too much
while overseas, and she had sufficient sleep on the plane back. But, hearing that she will be meeting
with Eason formally, she became quite nervous.
Andrea’s heart beat wildly, holding on tightly to her sleeves, she was afraid Baron would find something
unusual in this quiet car. Thank goodness just Baron thought she was tired, so didn’t bother her further,
and stayed overnight in the study, and only emerged the next day at breakfast.
Meanwhile, a formally dressed Andrea with a light touch of makeup was thinking about what to do. This
partnership is very important, and can’t give other people the wrong impression.
She was really afraid she would be affected by her personal emotions with Eason, and made her look
like a fool in front of everyone. Andrea took a few deep breaths, cheered herself on and sat in the chair.
Pretending everything was fine, she greeted Baron, “Mr Howard, good morning.”
Baron nodded in reply.
Next, Andrea picked up the milk. The warm milk can help her relax, and she felt a little better, but she
still only managed to eat a small portion of her breakfast. Baron looked at her for awhile, then said, “Are
you nervous?”
“Yes, I am really afraid I won’t do well and embarrass KJ Group.”
Andrea was so nervous, she started to sweat. She took a tissue and wiped her nose. Seeing that
Baron has finally finished his breakfast, she rose to go to the car, but Baron stopped her.
“Mr Howard, is there anything else?”
Baron looked at her bare, fine and fair skinned neck and called over a servant to bring a long,
rectangular velvet box. Inside was a sapphire necklace. “You’ll look better wearing this.” Baron’s tone
cannot be denied. “If you are to represent KJ company, then it must be perfect in every way.”
The responsibility has already been put on her shoulders, so she can’t reject the necklace. The
necklace seemed to have made Andrea appear much more graceful overall. Baron was pleased, and
accompanied Andrea to the company in the car.
The meeting with Eason was to be held in the KJ meeting room, all of KJ’s employees came very early
to await the arrival of Eason Reed.
Footsteps appeared outside the door right on time. Eason appeared in a suit, accompanied with Angela
Weismann.
Prior to this, Annalise Terrance was sent overseas, so now there was a new stranger with him.
“Mr Howard,” Eason shook hands with Baron. His eyes lay on Andrea, and changed his tone colder.
“What is Ms Anderson doing here?”
Andrea’s smile froze on her face.
