Pampered by the Demon - Chapter 122

A large amount of money immediately appeared in Scarlett’s mind as she counted the exchange rate with her fingers. How much RMB were 500,000 pounds?

Could she pay off her debts?

“You are only allowed to buy things. You’re not allowed to cash them out, let alone use them to pay off your debts. If I find out that you have any tricks up your sleeve, the subsidy will be recovered!” Mike had already seen through Scarlett’s thoughts.

Scarlett pouted in disappointment.

“I don’t understand what you’re doing. The shopping fee you gave me is more than the cost I pay for repairing your car. Why do you have to make me pay my debts? You are not short of money.”

Scarlett couldn’t figure out whether or not Mike was exploiting her. Mike was indeed forcing her to pay her debts.

But Mike had spent more money on Scarlett than that on repairing the car.

“Yes, I’m rich.” Mike glanced at Scarlett. They had already driven back to Mike’s garage.

In the garage, there was a row of luxury cars, which also confirmed that Mike was rich.

“If you don’t need money, why did you force me to sign the contract?”

“I need a cat.”

Without the debt tying her up, the little wildcat would have already run away.

Scarlett was so angry that she puffed up her face. It looked like she was bulging. Mike parked the car and found it funny to see Scarlett’s puffy appearance.

“I said you’re a cat. Don’t you like it?”

“If I call you John, would you like it?”

“You want to die?” Mike knocked her on the head.

“Why did you give me the shopping fee and take me abroad?” Scarlett wanted to know why Mike became so kind.

“I took you abroad because I don’t like the disgusting food in Country E.”

Scarlett curled her lips. Sure enough, the capitalist was thinking of exploiting her labor overseas!

“As for the shopping fee, it is a reward.”

“What?” What did she do? Reward what?

Mike rewarded her for her good performance on Richard’s problem. Scarlett chose to trust Mike and asked him to come forward and settle it.

For this slow-witted cat, it was a great improvement.

A well-behaved cat should be rewarded in time and develop a conditioned reflex. If there were any problems in the future, the first thing Scarlett thought of would be Mike.

Mike’s treacherous smile made Scarlett feel a little creepy. She was still thinking about what she had done to deserve a reward. Mike stopped the car, but he was not in a hurry to get out of the car. Instead, he looked at Scarlett with his hand on the car seat.

“Mike, why aren’t you opening the car door?”

“No.”

“No what?”

“You can’t call me that.” Mike’s eyes sparkled, and Scarlett was baffled.

“Haven’t I been calling you that all this time?”

“Those who come later are all my good friends, and also important partners of the Abraham Group.”

“So?”

“They don’t know I’m divorced yet, so…” Mike lowered his eyes.

“You, you’re not asking me to call you that, are you?” Scarlett asked.

She glanced at the screen in the car, and her ears seemed to echo the delicate “honey” of the navigation system with the same voice as her.

“Oh my god!” Scarlett shouted in her heart.

Although she often called him ‘honey’ when they got married, she was not as close to Mike as she was now at that time.

Furthermore, at that time, her attitude towards Mike was different from now. Although she had said it casually back then, now she…

“If you think there’s a problem, then forget it,” Mike said magnanimously.

“Thank you for your kindness, Boss!” Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief.

“However, if they spread the news of our divorce, it would have a great impact on the Abraham Group’s stock. After the return of the A-shares, there were many falls and stops, and tens of thousands of employees were implicated as well.”

When Mike said that, Scarlett shrunk back. It was just a title. How could it be so serious?

Mike placed his hand on Scarlett’s shoulder and patted it.

“This has nothing to do with you, Scarlett! Don’t feel guilty. I’ll never force anyone!”

Scarlett instantly felt that she was really unreasonable and felt guilty.

Mike never forced others, but he was cunning and would trick others!

In appreciation of your cooperation during this time, I was thinking of taking you abroad to dive, and perhaps giving you a set of underwater-shooting equipment after the stock returns.”

When Scarlett heard about the underwater-shooting equipment, her eyes lit up.

For diving enthusiasts, how great of temptation was that!

“But I don’t force anyone. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to call me that, then I’ll just…”

“Honey!”

The two of them were stunned when they heard this clear cry.

Scarlett’s face turned red in an instant. She despised herself in her heart. How could she do that just for that equipment? How could she say that so easily?

But Scarlett had already done it, so it was impossible for her to go back on her words.

Blushing, Scarlett’s heart raced. Although she had called Mike “honey” many times before, the meaning was different this time.

In the past, they were really a couple, but they didn’t love each other.

This time, their identities were fake, but their hearts were in a mess. They felt a little shy, a little nervous, and a little bit…

Joyful?

Scarlett also did not understand. It was just a form of address, how could she be so entangled.

When Mike heard this long-lost form of address, all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart.

“The feelings are not sincere enough. They won’t believe it. Don’t force yourself!” Mike’s eyes sparkled.

“Honey!” This was louder than the previous one. Scarlett threw caution at the wind and shouted again with a red face.

‘You’ve said that many times before. Just calm down!’ Scarlett said to herself.

Even if it wasn’t for the diving equipment, for the millions of employees of the Abraham Group, she had to make some sacrifices. Well, that reason was fake, Scarlett didn’t even believe it herself.

“It still doesn’t sound sincere enough.” Mike was addicted to hearing that and the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger.

“Honey!”

“Well, it’s getting there, but it’s a little stiff, so…”

“Mike, don’t go too far!” Scarlett was furious.

Mike used the treat to trick Scarlett to call him “honey”. Mike thought that after finding out the truth, the little wildcat would be furious, and might even run away from home.

So Mike’s eyes were bright. But he had another important purpose for this meal.

Scarlett felt the strange look in Mike’s eyes and felt a chill down her spine.

“Mike, are you hiding something from me?” Scarlett asked.

“Not at all.”

Mike didn’t feel guilty at all.

Indeed, it was not a lie. Because Mike would tell Scarlett the truth a few hours later. At that time, not only would Scarlett be able to know about his plan, she would also be able to participate in it personally.

His gaze swept over Scarlett’s abdomen. In this world, he could get anyone. If not the first time, he’d get her the second time.

“Mike… Honey!” Scarlett changed her words under Mike’s gaze.

“Yes.” Mike was rather satisfied with this title.

With a snort, Scarlett placed the tender green dish in her hand on the luxurious dining table.

The dining table was already filled with all kinds of vegetables and meat slices, and the brass mandarin duck hotpot in the middle was emitting a fragrance.

“Is it really okay to entertain guests with hot pot?”

She had clearly thought of the menu, so how did it end up becoming a hot pot?

“It’s good to have something to eat..” Mike was very calm and didn’t think that it was inappropriate.
