Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 558 Punishing Someone as a Warning to Others

The both of them gathered up all their trusted subordinates and told them to check everywhere in the hotel that they were going to hold their wedding in.

They rented the whole hotel. Of course, the hotel was one of the hotels under the Duran family.

Ever since they decided to hold their wedding there, the hotel temporarily stopped their business. For half a month, they were preparing for their wedding. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Sarah didn’t care about the losses. She wanted to have a perfect and extravagant wedding. She wanted to leave herself and Travis good memories.

Even though a small accident had occurred, she still wanted to ensure that the wedding would finish smoothly.

There were no other guests in the hotel. This meant that they only had to check the wedding guests who were coming tomorrow and the hotel workers carefully.

The hotel had a lot of workers, but she asked only a fourth of them to stay to prepare for the wedding.

She investigated the background of the remaining workers thoroughly. Only then did she decide to keep them.

There was a possibility that these workers might betray her if someone threatened them, or even threatened their families.

But she wouldn’t let uninvited guests in. Everyone who came in would have to go through a security check. There was a low possibility that the hotel workers would suddenly gain the ability to murder someone or possess a gun.

She checked the insides of the hotel, going through every part one by one. Then, she told her trusted subordinates to check the hotel workers again. She also asked her trusted bodyguards if they saw anyone suspicious.

On this day, Travis and Sarah spent the whole day checking for suspicious people and reviewing the hotel’s security.

Georgia got to finally rest for a while around noon. She walked outside and saw Robert.

“Why are you waiting for me here? You can go home and rest if you’re done talking to Riley. I can only head home at night.”

“I haven’t been waiting for too long. Lunchtime was coming up soon, so I thought of waiting for a bit to have lunch with you. I also haven’t talked to Antonio and your other colleagues for a long time. So, I wanted to have lunch with you guys.”

Robert and Georgia went to the lab’s canteen.

Antonio sat down together with them.

“The food here isn’t too bad.”

Robert smiled after taking a bite.

Antonio said to Robert.

“Riley hired five stars restaurant chefs for the canteen. He is really dedicated to the base. Before I started working here, I visited the area, and it was filled with top-notch equipment. Every type of testing equipment was available. He invested at least a few billions in these apparatuses.”

“It seems that Riley really cares about Miss Shelby. He planned everything very well here. This place is his sweat and blood.”

Georgia asked curiously.

“Miss Shelby?”

“He spilt some beans when I was talking to him today. That’s how I know that her surname is Shelby.”

“You guys sure get along.”

Georgia laughed. She lowered her head and was about to start eating. But then, she noticed a woman holding the food tray and was walking towards them.

“Can I join you guys?”

Leda asked Robert, Georgia, and Antonio. Each bench could fit two people, so four people could sit at the table.

Robert answered before Georgia could say anything.

“I’m sorry, we are discussing some private matter. It’s not so convenient for us to have you here. There’s an open seat over there. Miss Leda, maybe you can sit there instead.”

Leda’s face turned bleak upon hearing Robert, but she tried to force a smile.

“Alright, then I’ll go there.”

She left after saying that. Georgia was impressed with the way Robert handled the situation.

“You actually rejected her. I thought you would let her sit with us out of courtesy.”

“If I really did that, I would have to sleep on the sofa tonight. I’m not that stupid.”

Georgia and Robert were flirting. Antonio frowned.

“I’m stuck working in the lab without rest for a very long time and haven’t got the chance to sleep with a beautiful woman. Please stop flirting in front of me, otherwise, I’ll skip out on work and go out to have some fun tonight. I have some inspiration, so, please tone down your flirting.”

Robert and Georgia looked at each other and conversed in a softer voice.

They talked about what Riley and Robert discussed today. Robert didn’t tell Georgia about drawing blood, he only mentioned that the decision was to split everything into fifty-fifty.

“You mentioned before that Riley was a fusspot, hence he wanted to talk to you face-to-face. But you don’t really care about the result or anything. It’s so odd.”

Georgia sighed. Robert smiled and didn’t say anything. Soon, Georgia went back to work, and Robert headed to his office.

He had an important meeting in the afternoon and his participation was mandatory. Even though Randy was the CEO, Robert was still the chairman in name. He had to show up once in a while to see how the group was faring.

After seeing Robert off, Georgia was ready to continue working.

She met Leda when she was walking through the corridor.

Georgia smiled casually and was planning to go ahead, but Leda halted her in her tracks.

“Miss Lane, you don’t have to be so wary around me like I’m some kind of dangerous criminal. I just treat Robert as one of my favourite memories from when I was young. I don’t like him anymore and I’m

not planning to steal your husband from you. I just feel nostalgic when I see him sometimes and want to have a little conversation, I don’t mean anything else. We’ve grown old, hence the nostalgia hits hard sometimes.”

Georgia didn’t answer and Leda continued to talk.

“There’s this saying, but I don’t know if you know it. It goes good times don’t last long.”

“So, you’re saying that no love lasts forever and that one day I’ll break up with Robert as you did, right? And I’ll be an ex to him like you, Miss Leda. Is that what you’re trying to say?”

Leda smiled bleakly.

“I just wanted to tell you that Robert’s taste in women never changed. I was a replacement for someone else and so are you. One day if that person finally comes back, you’ll become nothing. But I really have no intention to steal Robert away from you because he doesn’t love me anymore anyways. Miss Lane, don’t pour all your heart and soul into one person. It’s dangerous.”

Leda left after saying that. Georgia was dumbfounded.

But she believed what Leda said, that Leda wasn’t expecting Robert to fall in love with her again. Leda believed that she and Robert wouldn’t be together anymore.

But the part where Leda said that they were just replacements. Georgia didn’t really understand what she meant there.

She thought Leda was Robert’s first love. Did Robert have any other lover before her?

Too bad Robert had just left, otherwise, Georgia would grab him by the collar and ask him directly.

How many people did he date? Why were they all bothering her so much?

But she remembered that Robert didn’t have any memories of his past. He didn’t even know who Wesley’s biological mother was. Georgia took a deep breath.

“Calm down, calm down. Maybe Leda was just spouting nonsense and trying to form a rift between Robert’s and my relationship. Let’s ignore her and go to work…”

Georgia said to herself and prepared herself mentally. She then returned to the lab and continued working with Antonio.

Robert was back at the office. Before his car entered the parking lot, he got a call from Randy.

“Robert, come in from another door. Dora is here causing trouble again. I thought she was so hurt that she wouldn’t have the energy to come bother us. But then she suddenly appeared. Maybe she heard that you were coming in today for the meeting. I don’t know where she got the news though.”

Robert laughed abruptly.

“Let her in. If she wants to see me, then let her be. She’ll soon give up.”
