Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 834 - 431: Extra Story: Rediscovering Warmth in Him 1
Once Christine Quinn left, Skyler Jones took out his phone and made a call to his secretary.
The secretary was thrilled to receive a call from the boss, "President, you’re back?"
"Hmm, how’s the company these days?"
"Operations are normal, it’s just that many annoying companies are calling saying they’re interested in acquiring Oversky’s stock... I don’t know how to fend them off."
"You can refuse them directly now."
"Alright."
"By the way, I won’t be going to the company recently, unless there’s something important. Leave the trivial matters to the vice president."
"Yes."
Ending the call, Skyler Jones raised a corner of his mouth, imagining the beautiful days ahead.
At that moment, a slight sound of footsteps could be heard.
Skyler Jones quickly pretended to close his eyes. He could already tell from the footsteps that the person was Christine Quinn.
Christine Quinn entered the room. Seeing Skyler Jones was already asleep, she was originally going to get something from the room, but suddenly sat down on the bed’s edge.
"Open your eyes, I know you’re not asleep."
Skyler Jones slowly opened his eyes. No way? Did she hear him on the phone?
Indeed...
"I just heard you making a phone call..."
Skyler Jones’s heart shattered with a "thump."
Christine Quinn sighed, "I was going back to get something and inadvertently heard your phone call... I heard you mention the company, you were talking to the secretary, right?"
"Hmm." Skyler Jones is someone who remains unflustered even if mountains collapse before him, so at this moment, his expression revealed no change.
Christine Quinn looked worried, "I heard you seemed to be discussing the company’s matters... You’re not thinking of selling Oversky, are you?"
So... she hadn’t heard clearly, just caught onto this.
Skyler Jones laughed inside, but his face showed sadness, "In my current state, keeping Oversky is useless..."
"How could it be? Even if you’re in a wheelchair, you can continue your career!"
"You support me continuing my career?"
"Of course, you worked so hard to make Oversky achieve today’s success, how can you just give up?"
"But in my current state..."
Christine Quinn instinctively reached out and held Skyler Jones’s hand, "Don’t belittle yourself now... In the eyes of the world, you are still perfect."
As she touched his hand, a rush of hidden joy ran through his heart.
"Even if you don’t want to face everyone now, don’t sell Oversky, you’ll regret it later."
Skyler Jones showed an expression of finally being convinced by Christine Quinn’s earnest persuasion, nodding, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
Christine Quinn smiled slightly, "In the meantime, let the vice president manage Oversky for a while. Anyway, there are no major projects in the second half of the year; the vice president should be able to handle it."
"Hmm."
"Then I’m going out, I need to organize my luggage."
Christine Quinn stood up.
"Wait a moment." He suddenly said.
Christine Quinn turned back, "What’s up?"
"I... I want to go to the bathroom."
"You want to..."
Skyler Jones harbored mischief in his heart, but externally appeared very awkward, "Just solve the small matter." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
In the hospital, there are usually nurses to help Skyler Jones, but at home, it was Christine Quinn’s first time facing such a situation.
Christine Quinn’s face inevitably turned red, "Then... I’ll go get you a urinal bag."
"No need, I’m not used to using that thing."
"Then what to do?"
Skyler Jones supported his upper body, saying, "Help me to the bathroom!"
"But I..." Christine Quinn was so embarrassed that her cheeks burned, her words stumbling, "I... I..."
Oh god, touching between men and women...
Though she and Skyler Jones had once been loving and intimate, that seemed like ages ago, and now she simply couldn’t face him.
Just thinking about that scene made her cheeks uncontrollably blush and heat up.
Christine Quinn, in a moment of urgency, said, "Otherwise, I’ll call Justin or a servant upstairs..."
Skyler Jones maintained a serious demeanor, "What if it’s at night?"
"At night... at night..." Yes, at night if he needs to relieve himself, who could she call?
"Forget it, just bring me the urinal bag..."
"Okay."
Christine Quinn hurriedly brought the convenient urinal bag from the hospital and handed it to Skyler Jones, "Do you know how to use it yourself?"
"I have no strength below my waist, I’m afraid I can’t reach."
"Then I’ll help you sit up."
Christine Quinn sat by the edge of the bed and helped Skyler Jones sit up.
