I Became Rich After Marriage

“Hey, handsome? Can I have your phone number?”

This was already the third beautiful woman to hit on Shaun today.

As a dutiful employee, I immediately turned around and pretended that I did not exist.

Men were simple creatures. If I, a woman, found another woman beautiful, then he obviously might find her pretty as well, so I had to stay out of the way.

Besides, these ladies could also lighten my workload of taking care of Shaun, so I considered them sisters in spirit even if they were not blood-related.

“Aurora Snow.”

“Yes, Mr. Lowell?” I perked up like a loyal lackey and even greeted the lady. “Miss, you’re really pretty! You’re a real match for my boss.”

“Boss?” the woman asked. By the sounds of it, she did not quite believe what I had said.

That would not do. While I did not care about being the obstacle in Shaun’s path to getting a girlfriend, I massively cared about him deducting my pay because of that. It was a complete no-no.

“Yes! This is my boss. He’s rich and single. Would you like to be with him?”

The woman looked at Shaun meaningfully. “I do like your boss, but he said you’re his wife.”

I shot Shaun a stunned look while he stood by the side with a dark face. He looked visibly annoyed.

Oh no! I had misunderstood him. He was not thinking about getting himself a girlfriend. He wanted me to ward off the women who wanted to flirt with him.

“Ever heard of couples’ role-play?” Shaun grabbed my waist and said in a low, charming voice, “My wife even treats me like royalty at home.”

I melted into Shaun’s embrace. “Honey, why are you telling someone else about this? I’m so embarrassed!”

“Alright. Whatever you want, sweetheart. I won’t say anything more.”

Ha! What a hypocrite!

‘If you really mean that, please don’t pinch my waist so hard!’ I thought.

The woman left in disgust. She even rolled her eyes at us before she left. Her face was practically screaming at us for being disgusting scumbags.

Shaun loosened his iron grip around me, but he looked even more upset than the woman.

“You sure were happily introducing me to that woman just now. Why were you in such a hurry to give me away to someone else? Don’t you want your two million?”

“I felt sad too, you know?”

“Is that so?” Shaun shot me a cold glance. “Cry for me, then.”

How could he say that?

I was not an actress. I could not cry at a whim.

I spent a solid minute thinking of the most painful moments in my twenty-nine years of life but could not squeeze out a single tear.

“You know… tears aren’t the only way to express sadness. I feel sad in my heart. Honestly!”

I tried to convey my sincerity through my gaze, but he clearly was not buying it.

“Honey… Your Majesty… Babe…”

Shaun crossed his arms and watched me as I cooed at him, but he showed no signs of letting this slide.

What a petty man! I had an idea. I decided to change the topic. “Why don’t I bring you to Volk Corp and give you a tour of the place?”

“Are you trying to watch your paycheck slip through your fingers?”

“No!” I hurriedly said. “According to Google, revisiting familiar places helps restore memories, and Volk Corp is the perfect place for that. I just want you to recover your memories.”

‘So that you can give me the two million you promised,’ I added in my heart.

Shaun must have thought that my reason made sense and nodded begrudgingly.

“Aurora? What a coincidence!”

It was a familiar voice, and it was too late to flee. I forced out a polite smile and greeted the person who had called out. “It’s really a coin—”

But my polite smile cracked. If I had known that Anna Xavier was with Blake Potterson, I would not have turned around.

“So petty, Aurora! You won’t even greet your old friend from university?”

Blake nudged Anna and looked as if he was eagerly waiting for chaos to unfold.

Anna’s face did not change. She remained as cool as an ice queen.

Among all my boyfriends, Blake had been my longest relationship. Since our junior year in university, we had kept it on and off until two years ago, when we finally broke it off for good.

Anna looked at Shaun. “Your new boyfriend?”

The gaze and her attitude made it clear that she was looking down on me.

I was not one to back down when I was looked down upon, so I looped my arm around Shaun’s. “Of course! Are you still single, Anna? Want me to introduce you to a nice guy?”

Anna’s gaze darkened. By the looks of it, she was still mad.

“You’re still the same as ever.” Blake crossed his arms and looked at Shaun. “Bro, better watch out. Don’t get cheated on.”
