Mr. Powell Is Hunting for His Wife

Chapter 16: What a Pretentious Person

After Mirabelle finished speaking, she was shocked to realize that she spoke too loud just now, which was quite different from her image as a lady form a noble family, and she hurriedly covered her lips. She coughed twice and pretended to be not feeling well. She did this to try to look pitiful.

She was too reckless just now!

Although Mirabelle had been introducing herself as Brooklyn’s fiancée, the future wife of Brooklyn Powell, Brooklyn had never admitted their relationship in public.

This made Mirabelle panicked.

Especially now, after Brooklyn listened to what she had just said, a faint disgust appeared between his brows.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his thin lips, and glanced at her sideways.

Mirabelle’s heart felt apprehensive when she saw his expression.

“Oh, it turned out to be President Powell’s fiancée, what a coincidence.” Diana smiled, her clear and bright eyes were looking straight at Mirabelle boldly.

“Since Ms. Moss is President Powell’s fiancée, there is no need to apologize. After all, no one except you and me knows that you had spoiled my reputation, so let us end this matter here. After all, I still have to work in your fiancé’s company. I’m afraid that Mr. Powell might treat me badly in the company.”

Harper, who was standing aside, was completely dumbfounded.

Brooklyn’s fiancée slandered his assistant; he would definitely be on Mirabelle’s side!

Anna’s speech would definitely annoy Brooklyn!

Harper tried to hint Diana out of good intentions to stop her from annoying his boss.

Who knew, she gave no response at all!

Diana was only less than a meter away from Brooklyn. The faint fragrance of her body entered his nerves incessantly and disturbed his thoughts.

The luxurious perfume on Mirabelle’s body seemed cheap instantly, causing Brooklyn to feel sick about the smell.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced coldly at Harper, “Open the windows.”

After that, his gaze fell on Diana again.

This woman was a bit interesting.

Obviously, she wanted Mirabelle to apologize to her immediately, but she just would not say it out!

She even twisted her words and claimed that he would treat her badly in the company.

There was a meaningful smile on the Brooklyn’s face as his eyes narrowed. He ignored Mirabelle’s embarrassed expression and slowly opened his mouth.

“Anna, you are very bold to say that you are worried that I’ll treat you badly in the future right in front of me.” Brooklyn was warning her, but there was a hint of teasing in his tone.

Mirabelle, who was standing aside and ignored by the man, nearly exploded in anger. However, she had to maintain her gentle and virtuous manner, so she didn’t dare to let out her anger.

Otherwise, she would have slapped Anna right on the face!

As a woman, Mirabelle’s heart felt unsecured.

After she framed Diana six years ago, she had been together with Brooklyn as his fiancée.

For the whole six years, she had never seen Brooklyn looking at any woman like how he looked at this perfumer right now!

He looked like a predator, staring at an interesting prey. He looked like he wanted to tease her slowly and at last, take her down with a final blow.

Anna’s appearance really made her jealous. Her face was small, heart-shaped, and every move she made was so seductive and attractive. It seemed like she was born to be good at seducing men!

When Mirabelle looked at Diana once again, her gaze was filled with jealousy and a little malice.

She would not allow anyone to snatch Brooklyn away from her.

He belonged to her and no one could snatch him away!

“Mr. Powell, did you get the wrong point?” Diana was a bit speechless.

Her main intention was to let Mirabelle bear the blame, in case something bad happened to her one day, then Mirabelle would be the first suspect.

The smile at the corner of his lips deepened.

He knew Anna’s little thoughts exactly from the time he saw the letter sent to the villa.

Brooklyn had never been so patient and interested in playing tricks with a woman, but this mysterious woman had attracted his attention.

“Brooklyn…” Mirabella was a bit embarrassed, so she called his name in a soft and petulant tone.

In order to prevent Brooklyn from getting angry, she would not mind giving Anna an apology.

However, there were other people in the room. She felt embarrassed to apologize to Anna in front of the servants, especially when Anna provoked her just now!

She had never suffered such embarrassment!

As if Brooklyn did not understand the meaning behind Mirabelle’s pity and petulant tone, he said, “Mirabelle, I have a very tight schedule.”

The meaning behind his words was that he had no time to waste on her. Hence, he wanted her to hurry up, apologize to Anna and go home quickly.

Mirabelle understood the meaning of his words. As she realized what he meant, her face turned white instantly.

The atmosphere in the office was stiff and silent.

Diana frowned, revealing her doubt about what had just happened.

The relationship between Brooklyn and Mirabelle seemed to be different from what she had expected.

If they were truly in love with each other, as what the rumors had said about, the atmosphere would not be so strange as it was right now.

Although Diana had no experience of being in love, she had some common senses about this thing.

She knew that a man and woman who were truly in love would not act like this.

So, there might be a big secret in between Brooklyn and Mirabelle.

“Anna, I’m sorry for accusing your professional ethical standards without any evidence.” Mirabelle’s face was terribly pale. She looked very pity with her eyes filled with tears.

Even Diana, as a woman, was almost deceived by her look.

What a fake person.

She acted the same way six years ago. Mirabelle loved to use her innocent appearance to deceive Diana. In the end, Diana almost lost her life because of Mirabelle.

After Mirabelle finished apologizing, her tears began to fall continuously.

She had been crying for quite some time, but no one came forward to comfort her.

She bit her lips hard and lifted her eyes timidly, “Brooklyn, I have finished apologizing. Are you satisfied now?”

Diana was a little speechless.

So, Mirabelle apologized for the sake of Brooklyn?

Brooklyn took a glance at Mirabelle, who was in tears, and spoke coldly, “You are apologizing to Anna, not to me.”

After saying that, he instructed Harper in a low and cold tone, “Ask the driver to send her back.”

Mirabelle could not believe her ears!

She had apologized and cried for so long, but Brooklyn was trying to send her away?

“Brooklyn, can I stay here for a little longer today…”

Brooklyn seldom allowed her to come to the Powell Group.

Although the media had been spreading news about their relationship, no one in the company had realized that their president had a fiancée!

She should beware of women like Anna.

However, Brooklyn’s attitude towards Anna was way better than how he treated her in the past.

Anna was just a newly hired perfumer and assistant, while Mirabelle had been together with him for six years!

“Mirabelle, have you forgotten?” Brooklyn looked at her sternly. His gaze made her shoulders trembled in fear.

What a cold gaze!

His thin lips opened slightly, and his cold voice entered everyone’s ears, “This is the Powell Group, and you are the perfumer of the Moss Group. Are you trying to steal our trade secrets by staying longer in the Powell Group?”
