My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1974

Johan was dressed neatly in a bespoke suit, and trailing behind him was his assistant, Alexis.

He strode forward with Alexis at his heels, muttering something. They were probably talking about work.

Johan was involved in chain malls business, and Silas Group had many malls under them across the globe.

Therefore, Johan would often visit malls, be it locally or overseas, to supervise its operation. However, this was the first time that Sierra had run into him by chance.

In the past, she had often bumped into him while he was at work, but everyone around him knew that those weren't really coincidences in any sense of the word.

Sierra would always obtain Johan's schedule from his assistant and create fake run- ins.

Though it was a real encounter that time, Sierra was no longer willing to lower herself to love a man who didn't love her back.

Sierra quickly averted her gaze from Johan. She took Adrienne by the hand and said, "Adrienne, let's go to the second floor and shop for some clothes."

Adrienne looked back at Johan, who was not far away, and nodded slowly. "Okay."

At that moment, Johan caught a glimpse of Sierra. Behind him, Alexis stopped and said, "Mr. Silas, I really didn't reveal your whereabouts to Miss Sierra this time."

In the past, Johan must have tacitly approved for Alexis to reveal his whereabouts to Sierra which was why Alexis had instinctively defended himself when they bumped into Sierra that time.

Emotionlessly, Johan glanced at Sierra, and then withdrew his gaze. "What do we have next on the schedule?"

Alexis immediately replied, "You have a meeting at 11 o'clock."

Johan raised his hand to consult the time. "Postpone the meeting to this afternoon."

Alexis did not understand why Johan would want to postpone such an important meeting all of a sudden, so he asked, "But Mr. Silas..."

Johan had already stalked away before Alexis could finish his words, leaving him with no choice but to catch up to him.

There were many questions in his mind, but he dared not ask them, so he could only keep guessing.

After following Johan for a while, Alexis realized that something was off. "Mr. Silas, is there a problem?"

Johan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What problem?"

Alexis added, "I mean, we've already inspected the entire area so I'm wondering if there is anything wrong with any of the shops here that you're going for another round of inspection?"

Johan looked at him, annoyance in his eyes. "What's the problem with making a few more rounds when I'm the owner of this mall?"

"Oh, no problem at all, Mr. Silas."

Alexis grumbled inwardly, "Yes, you're the boss. Of course you can go wherever you want but can't we at least mind the time?"

"There's such an important meeting but you postponed it until later. Is this your usual way of doing things?"

A load of complaints were prowling in his heart, but he did not dare to say a word out loud, for fear that Johan would throw him off the building.

Just as he was puzzled by Johan's actions, he once again picked up on a familiar figure through the corner of his eyes. He finally understood what

Johan's strange behavior was all about.

If this was in the past, Johan would never bat an eye on Sierra who used to hover before him all the time.

It seemed like Johan was acting even weirder than usual now that she hadn't shown up for a few days.

He was always distracted at work, and he even pushed back such an urgent meeting.

Alexis retracted his gaze and looked at Johan.

Johan's gaze was also inadvertently shooting towards Sierra.

Silently, Alexis held his boss in lower regard.

As expected, men were all scoundrels.

Even a man like Johan was no exception.

He never cherished it when Sierra was there for her. He only came to a realization that he had lost her once she was gone.

At that moment, Alexis felt that it was time for him to step up and make things right.

Quietly, he studied Johan's expression. "Mr. Silas, the store that Miss Sierra went to is a flagship store under Silas Group. Would you like me to tell the manager there to forgo Miss Sierra's tab?"

Johan parted his lips calmly, "Shouldn't you already know what you need to do?"

Alexis nodded repeatedly. "Ah yes, I know. I will go and talk to the manager right away. Not only will they forgo her tab today, I'll make sure all her future tabs are exempted too."

Bow as he might to his boss, he mentally looked down on him once again.

Meanwhile, his despicable boss in question had already strode away.

"You're waiving my tab?" Sierra expressed her doubts in the face of the sudden show of kindness from the manager. "I don't remember having any sort of partnership with your store. Just tell me how much it is and I'll pay you right away."

The manager said, "Miss Yard, I'm just an ordinary staff member following orders from the higher ups. Could you please do as said?"

"In that case, I don't want these clothes anymore." Sierra roughly guessed what was playing out, but she didn't dare to believe it, nor was she willing to accept that person's noblesse oblige.

She had never seen him caring about her when she used to follow him around in the past, had she?

Now that she had given up on him, he was trying to pull this on her instead. What was he trying to get at?

Did he really think that she was just some pet at his beck and call?

Sierra set the clothes down and turned to leave with Adrienne.

Even Adrienne, who was usually slow to catch on, still managed to wrap her head around what had just transpired.

She wasn't really sure of what was going on between Sierra and Johan, so she decided that it was best not to speak carelessly and followed Sierra obediently instead.

She also understood that it was useless to say anything at that time, and that she just needed to be with Sierra so that she could at least have someone to talk to if she wanted.

When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Sierra stopped and said, "Adrienne, let's go to another mall."

Adrienne nodded and said, "Sure."

Sierra added, "Why didn't you ask me why we are leaving?"

"If you want to tell me, I'll listen. But if you don't feel like talking about it, then I won't ask." Adrienne smiled. "In the end, love is a matter between two people. You should be clearer than any of us if you should go on with him. I will support you no matter what decision you make."

Sierra beamed as she gave Adrienne a hug. "Adrienne, thank you for being so considerate."

Adrienne was a little confused. "Oh, I haven't done anything, why are you thanking me?"

Sierra said with a smile, "All I can say is, Jefferson really has a good eye for women."

Adrienne was a little embarrassed by Sierra's compliment. "Honestly, I'm not as great as you think I am. In fact, I'm very selfish."

Adrienne thought that she was selfish to the point that only Jefferson was the one giving everything while she never gave him anything in return.

Sierra joked, "Are you saying Jefferson has a bad taste or that I do?"

Adrienne stared at her blankly.

Was that what she meant though?

It seemed that in terms of eloquence, she was indeed inferior to the Yard family.

Sierra opened the door and said, "Get in the car. Let's go somewhere else to shop."

Adrienne nodded and said, "Okay, we'll shop till we drop today."

Seldom did Adrienne go shopping, as she was not very interested in it. Freya often teased that it was rare for a girl to feel that way.

She accompanied Sierra and shopped a lot that day. When she was about to pay for the bill, she found out that her purse was penniless. Fortunately, Jefferson arrived in time and handed his credit card to the cashier.

Although that was probably her own money, she was still enraptured by how charming he appeared at that moment.
