Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 223

Seeing the reluctance written all over Lumma’s face to dine with him was a blow to Adam.

Adam, in his current role, hadn’t done anything to upset her.

Why was she so unwilling to spend time alone with him in private?

Adam felt the need to clear this up, otherwise, she would continue to avoid him in the future.

Before he could answer, Lumma stepped forward timely. “Ruby, Mr. Hills is a busy man, so he wouldn’t have the

time to dine with us.”

Lumma obviously didn’t want to dine with Adam, yet she stated her reasons so grandly. Adam, who was about to

decline Ruby’s invitation, changed his mind instantly. “Actually, I’m not too busy today. If Lumma doesn’t mind, let’s

have dinner together.”

Could Lumma dare to refuse him after this?

It was unless she didn’t want this job anymore. “I’d be more than welcoming, why would I mind,

Mr. Hills?”

Harry commented, “Lumma isn’t willing to dine with you. She is just being swept along by

capitalism.”

Lumma nudged Harry, telling him to stop talking nonsense, and Harry reluctantly shut his mouth.

Adam knew that Harry held a significant grudge against him. If it were anyone else, Adam would

have had ways to deal with them, but as Harry was someone Lumma cared about, Adam wouldn’t do anything to

Harry.

Despite Harry’s repeated provocations, Adam pretended not to hear. “Where would you like to eat? I’ll treat you

all.”

On hearing this, Ruby became more excited. “Worm, remember you said you wanted to try the steak at Hedges

Restaurant, but it was too expensive for us? Since Mr. Hills is so generous to treat us, let’s dine at Hedges

Restaurant tonight.”

Adam’s gaze never left Lumma, and he noticed that when Hedges Restaurant was mentioned, a spark indeed

flashed in Lumma’s clear eyes, proving she did want to try the steak there.

Adam remembered the last time he asked Lumma to book a restaurant, she chose that one. But in the end, he

made an excuse that his wife didn’t come and asked her to dine with him, and she still refused.

When Adam thought she would agree, Lumma refused again. “Let’s forget it.”

Harry strongly agreed with Lumma’s decision. “Yes, let’s forget it.”

Ruby turned and dragged Lumma aside. “You stink! Your boss invites you to dinner, and you disagree. Are you

spoiled?”

The word Ruby used scared Lumina into stuttering. “W-What spoiled? How could you think that? Which eye of yours

sees him spoiling me?”

Ruby glanced at Lumma. “Do you think Adam agreed to treat us because of my invitation?”

Lumma asked, “Isn’t it?”

Ruby poked Lumma’s forehead. “You silly girl, I’m nothing in your Mr. Hills’ eyes. He agreed to my invitation entirely

for your sake. Think about it, I’m your friend, and if he refused my invitation to dinner, wouldn’t that be a slap in

your face?”

Lumma asked, “If you know this so clearly, why do you still provoke him?”

“Ruby, do you think I don’t know what I’m doing? I wanted to take a longer look at him, after all, it’s not every day

that you come across such a stunning man. You have to appreciate it while it lasts. It’s

would like when you’re passing by a place, and you see a particularly beautiful flower, you definitely stop to take a

few more glances.”

In Ruby’s eyes, Adam was a piece of art that could only be admired from a distance.

Ruby would talk every day about how she wanted to be with Adam, but that was all talk. Deep down, she knew

better than anyone else the distance between herself and Adam.

If it wasn’t for Lumma, Adam probably wouldn’t even bother to say a word to Ruby.
