Chapter 146: She’s My Wife. I Don’t Need Your Reminder.

Although he had guessed it, he still wanted to verify it. After all, everyone has curiosity.

Christopher glared at him, neither admitting nor denying it.

But even so, it was enough for James to understand everything.

He admired Janice once again and his gaze unintentionally swept over the disappointed face of Benjamin in the crowd.

James suddenly felt happy and he thought to himself, "Don’t you dare to get Chris’ girl! You deserve it!"

While he was secretly mocking Benjamin, Christopher had already walked straight over and stopped in front of Benjamin, blocking his way.

Seeing Christopher suddenly standing in front of him, Benjamin knew that he was here to mock him.

However, he did not quite understand Christopher’s actions at the exhibition just now.

After all, except for Janice, there was no deep enmity between him and Christopher.

Moreover, he had already made it clear to Janice long ago. Ever since he left the TV station, he no longer pestered Janice.

So, he did not know why.

No matter what, Christopher did defeat him today. He had nothing to say about this.

Therefore, he took the initiative to speak first before Christopher could speak, "Congratulations on your rewarding return today, Mr. Bateman."

Christopher was very disdainful of his fake congratulations. He sneered and said, "Congratulations? Did I hear you wrong?"

Benjamin said helplessly, "Mr. Bateman, I’m not that petty. There’s nothing embarrassing about the fact that I lost."

"Do you really think so?"

Christopher raised his eyebrows.

Benjamin nodded, "If not then what?"

There was no anger on his face, which disappointed Christopher. This was different from what he had imagined.

However, for someone as proud as him, there was nothing he could do with such a positive mind.

He said, "You brought this upon yourself."

He snorted and was about to turn around to leave.

"Wait,"

Benjamin called out.

Christopher stopped and looked back at him.

Benjamin paused and asked, "I don’t quite understand the words that you had just said."

"Don’t understand?" Christopher sneered and asked, "Think about what you have been doing recently,"

he said.

Benjamin frowned as he wondered what he had done recently.

He suddenly thought of something, and he immediately understood. "Is Mr. Bateman talking about the meal card that I gave Janice?" "A meal card?"

Christopher was stunned, "So it was a meal card?"

Isn’t it a bank card?

How did it become a meal card?

He frowned, "So, you gave Janice a meal card?"

"What else I could give?" Benjamin asked, but he seemed to understand something from his reaction.

It was ridiculous to know that he came here for him just because of a meal card.

Benjamin sneered, but at the same time, he inevitably aroused a trace of anger.

He mocked, "Mr. Bateman, it looks like you’re not confident in your relationship. Let me remind you something, if you really have the time, you might as well show more concern towards Janice."

Hearing this, Christopher found it funny. "She’s my wife. I don’t need your reminder."

"Really?" Benjamin sneered and said, "Do you know that she doesn’t even have money to eat now?"

"Nonsense!" Christopher snapped coldly. "Nonsense or not. You’ll know when you get there."

After Benjamin finished speaking, he sneered as he walked past him and head

towards the door.

...

Christopher stood there and his mind had been blanking for a long time.

It was not until James approached him that he found him standing there in a daze. He stretched out his hand and waved in front of him, "Chris..."

However, before he could finish his words, he could only see Christopher running towards the door at a very high speed.

James had no choice but to keep his words. He looked at Rob, who was walking over gloomily, "What’s wrong with your boss?"

Rob glanced at Christopher, who was leaving in a hurry, then shook his head, and followed him.

But, it was too late for Rob to chase after him. Christopher’s car was passing by in front of him.

In the car, Christopher gripped the steering wheel tightly and stared at the front coldly.

Benjamin’s words surround his ears.

"Do you know that she doesn’t even have money to eat now?"

What a joke! How could his wife not even have money to eat? He wanted to see this for himself.

After a while, the car arrived in front of the TV station.

Christopher parked the car and rushed in.

It happened to be the time for dinner. The TV station was quiet as there were only a few people in it.

He went straight to Janice’s office, but he did not see her.

He frowned, thinking that she might be in the cafeteria this time.

Thinking of this, he rushed out in a hurry and asked for the cafeteria’s location.

At this moment, Janice was waiting in line at the payment counter of the cafeteria. It was finally her turn.

She hesitated for a moment before handing over the card in her hand, "Please help me to check the balance of this card."

This was the card given by Benjamin.

She had made up her mind that she would use the money first and pay him back later if there was just a small amount of money in it.

But if there was a large amount of money, she would refund the card and return the money back to him.

"There are still 3300 dollars left."

3300 dollars?

Janice’s eyes widened.

A large amount of money was left.

If she kept it, it would be enough for her to eat for a long time.

However, with her current financial situation, it seemed to be too much.

Should she return it?

Just as Janice was still hesitant, there was a hand suddenly reached out and took the card away.

She was stunned, she turned around and saw Christopher standing behind her. She asked surprisingly, "Why are you here?"

Christopher did not answer her question. Instead, he looked at the card in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

Janice said, "A meal card."

"Whose?" Christopher narrowed his eyes.

Janice did not understand the reason why he was asking about it, but she thought of how he would be angry if he knew this card was from Benjamin.

Thinking of this, she lied and said.

"It’s from my colleague. I was just helping to refund the card."

As she spoke, she reached out to take the card back, but Christopher kept it in his pocket.

"Where’s your meal card?"

he reached out his hand.

Before Janice could respond, she saw him reaching his hand over and she frowned, "What do you want my meal card for?"

Christopher did not explain, he frowned and said, "Just give it to me."

Janice felt depressed and glanced at her surroundings discovering that everyone was looking in their direction.

Only then did she feel embarrassed and take out her meal card, then give it to him, "Here you go."

Christopher looked at the card and said, "Treat me in the cafeteria."

...

Janice was stunned and she thought of something, said, "You’re not an employee of the TV station, forget about it."

"I’m going to eat here today."

He glanced around, ignoring the gazes of the crowd, and walked towards the ordering table.

Seeing that, Janice grew anxious as there was no money in it.

"No, I can’t let him find out," Thinking of this, she hurriedly chased after him.

"Two dishes, please,"

In front of the ordering counter, Christopher handed over the card.

But it was already too late for Janice to stop him, her meal card had already been taken.

Just as she suddenly had an ominous feeling, a voice came out from the window. "Sir, the amount is empty."

As soon as she finished speaking, Janice felt extremely embarrassed. She looked at Christopher weakly, only to find that there was no expression on his face.

Janice was confused.

"Top up a thirty thousand!"

Christopher suddenly spoke.

He took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Thirty thousand?"

"Why did you top up so much money?" Janice asked surprisingly.

Christopher did not look at her, but said lightly, "The food here might be delicious. I’ll come here more often in the future."

At this time, their meal card and bank card had been placed on the table.

Christopher picked it up and walked to an empty seat.

Janice hurried to catch up.

"Eat up,"

After she sat down, Christopher pushed the plate over.

Janice did not dare to look at him, she glanced at the plate in front of her guiltily and she felt that Christopher was angry with her.

Thus, she pursed her lips, "Hubby, why are you here all of a sudden?"

Christopher replied, "I was nearby."

"Oh,"

Janice was quiet, she then took the cutlery and began to eat, only to find out that Christopher was sitting there without moving a muscle.

She asked puzzledly, "Why aren’t you eating?"

Christopher’s face was expressionless, "I’m not hungry."

Janice was slightly speechless when she heard of this.

"If you’re not hungry then you shouldn’t order two dishes." As soon as she whispered, Christopher suddenly said. "Eat this too." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

As he spoke, he pushed the other meal to her.

Janice was dumbfounded.

"Are you feeding a pig?" She could not help but glare at him. Christopher sneered, "You have a good appetite indeed." Janice was speechless, "..."

Although she was very reluctant to admit that she had a good appetite, she still had both dishes in the end.

After all, wasting food was shameless.

After she had finished the two dishes, Christopher pulled her up from her seat and walked towards the door.

"I’ll request for a leave this afternoon,"

Sitting in the car, Christopher said.

Just as Janice was fastening her seat belt, she stopped and looked at him in confusion after she heard that.

"Why?"

Christopher did not look at her and said, "No reason."

As he spoke, he started the car and left the place.

Janice however, was a bit depressed.

"Then you should at least let me tell my boss." "You don’t have to. Everything has been arranged," Christopher said.

Janice stopped asking questions after hearing his words.

After all, he was a shareholder of the TV station.

The shareholders overpowered the superiors.

She felt inexplicably depressed, she looked out of the window and found that they were at an unfamiliar street. She suddenly felt a little uneasy and asked with a frown.

"Hubby, where are you taking me?"

Christopher was driving as he was listening to her question, he frowned slightly and said, "You’ll know when you get there."
