Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 224

“So, Lumma, your idea is for me to agree to him treating us to dinner tonight?”

“Ruby, why would we turn down a free meal at the restaurant we’ve always wanted to go to but haven’t because of

the price?”

Lumma felt as though Ruby had tricked her, but she still agreed to have dinner with Adam.

Hedges Restaurant was notoriously expensive, yet it never lacked customers. Reservations had to be made in

advance, so Lumma had to use Hills VIP to book a private room.

After securing the restaurant, she still had to deal with checking into the room. Lumma wasn’t familiar with the

process, so she followed whatever the property manager told her to do.

Adam, at some point, had come to her side, taken the checklist, and carefully reviewed it for her. He meticulously

inspected the items provided by the property management. “You’re missing an access card, so you’ll have to ask

property management about it. From now on, they will charge you for it.”

He was helping her with these minor details, but his focus and seriousness were as if he was looking at a billion-

dollar contract….

Lumma watched him, feeling a sudden heaviness in her heart. Why was it Adam by her side at this moment, and

not Lucas?

“I’m talking to you. What are you thinking about?” Adam’s voice was a bit stern, annoyed that she always seemed

distracted when she was with him.

When Adam was angry, Lumma was scared of him. “I-I wasn’t thinking about anything.”

Seeing her fear, Adam softened his voice. “Checking into a room has many important details. A slight oversight can

cause big trouble. Any issues found today need to be reported to property management, so they can notify the

developer.”

Lumma obediently nodded. “Yes.”

Seeing her obedient, understanding yet somewhat wronged look, Adam couldn’t bring himself to scold her, let

alone reprimand her harshly. “Silly girl, why are you upset just because I’m advising you?”

He not only called her a silly girl, but his tone was also incredibly indulgent. This was not an appropriate attitude for

a male boss toward a female subordinate.

Lumma was thrown into discomfort again. She couldn’t get along well with Adam like this. “Mr. Hills, you…”

“That’s all I can help you with. You have to handle the rest on your own. Nobody can help you forever.” Just as

Lumma was confused.

Why did she keep overthinking things when she had repeatedly told herself not to?

The more she overthought, the more awkward and helpless she felt when dealing with Adam privately.

She couldn’t keep going on like this.

Ruby and Harry were elsewhere, oblivious to the small episode between Lumma and Adam.

Lumma continued with a flushed face…

Adam left the property management office, lit a cigarette, and took two consecutive drags.

His awkward interactions with Lumma were all because he hadn’t properly managed their relationship.

All Adam had to do was tell her that he was Lucas, and he could openly do

However, he couldn’t take that risk.

everything for her.

Without a hundred percent certainty that Lumma would accept her boss turning into her husband,

he didn’t dare to easily admit his identity.
