Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 271 - 267, the man’s voice on the phone is intoxicating like wine.

Sister Hua’s gentle voice came through the phone, "Carry, you must seize the opportunity, this job is big, if you complete it you might be able to retire early and live the life you desire."

"I know."

Gazing out the window, Titus Zane unconsciously pictured Wesley Foley in his mind, not tall, not muscular, with the slender appearance of a scholar, well-spoken and comfortably mild-mannered.

"Carry, I wish you success!"

After hanging up the phone, Titus Zane held the mobile in his palm, looking at the scenery outside the window, his lips slightly raised, his European eyes filled with hope.

A house, a hanging chair, a painting board, a piece of farmland... This is the life she wanted...

She stayed in Banyan City for a day, without rushing to interview at Wesley Foley’s company.

It wasn’t until the next day that Xiao Man came to meet up with her.

Upon meeting, she asked eagerly, "How big is this job, and roughly how much can we get paid?"

Looking at her, Titus Zane wondered, "Out of money?"

"Yeah," Xiao Man nodded, "I visited a lot of sights and bought quite a few souvenirs, spent almost everything."

"You," Titus Zane said helplessly, "earning money is not easy, why don’t you know how to save a bit."

Xiao Man wrinkled her nose discontentedly, "That’s easy for you to say, you’re always surrounded by designer labels!"

Titus Zane...

The nature of her work did not allow her to be ordinary, and besides, she had the ability to buy designer brands herself.

After some analysis, Titus Zane thought that she did not temporarily need Xiao Man as a "substitute," because as the information on Wesley Foley had indicated, he was not interested in women. With such a character, having Xiao Man stay here would only raise suspicions.

She called Sister Hua to share her thoughts. Shis Hua greatly appreciated the proposal and agreed to transfer Xiao Man away first.

The next day, Xiao Man left with her suitcase, her face unwilling, and Titus Zane even noticed resentment in her eyes.

Because there was no need for a "substitute," Xiao Man could not earn a commission from this job. Titus Zane understood her thoughts, but she was not a god, just an ordinary person.

From her last commission, Titus Zane had already given Xiao Man an extra share – it was her own lack of financial management that was to blame, not someone else.

Latter, Titus Zane didn’t expect that this very suggestion would plant a seed of betrayal in Xiao Man leading to pushing Titus Zane into a perilous situation.

Two days later, Titus Zane went to interview at Wesley Foley’s company.

Intelligent as she was, she knew best how to pique a man’s interest.

Whether or not Wesley Foley had given a heads-up, the interview went smoothly. Only a few simple questions were asked, and not even her resume or work experience were mentioned, just notified that she could start work tomorrow.

After leaving, Titus Zane found it somewhat unbelievable.

Getting her hands on the design schematics was not an easy task.

Wesley Foley was different from other men; one look at her and one could see the naked desire in their eyes, wishing to sleep with her.

However, he was the kind of gentlemanly and mild man who, when looking at her, radiated warmth that might be affectionate, but not in a way that wanted to deceive her into bed.

Starting work at the company meant Titus Zane had to consider her own living arrangements.

She couldn’t live in a luxury suite while working as an ordinary employee – that just wouldn’t make sense.

After being hired, Titus Zane based on the map from Baidu and found an agency to help her rent an apartment; not too big, just clean.

At night, before going to sleep, Titus Zane still needed wine to help her sleep.

After taking a bath, she sat at the round table by the window, looking at the night scene outside, and poured herself some red wine.

She had just taken a sip when the phone on the bed rang.

Holding her glass of wine, she walked over, picked up the phone, and saw an unfamiliar number. After hesitating, Titus Zane answered.

"Hey, are you asleep?"

A gentle voice came through the earpiece, intoxicating like the wine.
