Chapter 1010 - 1009: Shattered Worldviews

"I just saw that the strawberry cake over there looks delicious, and there’s ribs, lamb chops..."

In one breath, Finn Chandler listed a lot of food.

"Okay."

The secretary next to him wanted to help, but Julian Ford stopped her, "I’ll do it myself."

When your own wife wants to eat, how can you let someone else do it for you?

"Wait for me."

Julian Ford said as he stood up, instructing the secretary to take good care of Finn Chandler.

All the attendees at the banquet were prominent figures, but with Finn Chandler being heavily pregnant, Julian Ford was still worried something might happen.

The secretary nodded in agreement as she stood by Finn Chandler’s side, watching Julian Ford take a plate and follow Finn Chandler’s words, getting a lot of food.

The plate was piled high, completely out of character for Mr. Ford’s image.

The secretary had always thought that if Mr. Ford were ever in a relationship, he’d surely treat his partner very well. Indeed, Mr. Ford treated his wife even better than she had imagined.

Bringing his wife to the banquet, he only cared about getting food for her, almost forgetting his purpose was to use the event to network with other families.

To Julian Ford, relationships could be built anytime, but it was rare for his wife to come along, so he had to make sure she ate well.

As Julian Ford went to get food, Finn Chandler leaned bored in her chair, chatting casually with the secretary.

The secretary had been with Julian Ford for many years, in her early thirties, and was very capable.

After chatting, Finn Chandler realized how impressive Julian Ford was, even his secretary was much more capable than what she was used to before.

"How much is your salary?"

"What are the benefits like?"

Finn Chandler couldn’t help but ask the secretary.

The secretary, who was having a good conversation, was somewhat bewildered by Finn Chandler’s two questions, feeling as if Mrs. Ford was trying to poach her.

The secretary reported her annual salary and benefits, after listening to it, Finn Chandler thought about it and said, "Someone as capable as you could earn a higher salary."

"How about this, I’ll... "

At this point, Finn Chandler snapped back to reality.

Her old habit had kicked in, wanting to recruit capable people for her own use.

But now she was no longer the manager at The Chambers Corporation; Old Master Chambers had stripped her of her power, and now she was just Mrs. Ford.

"Mrs. Ford, you’re not trying to poach me, are you?"

The secretary sensed Finn Chandler’s intentions and tried asking.

"No, no."

Finn Chandler quickly denied, even if she wanted to, she no longer had a company.

But, feeling guilty, after glancing at the secretary, she decided to pretend to be asleep.

Midway through the banquet, Finn Chandler wanted to go to the restroom, and since it was inconvenient for Julian Ford to accompany her, he let the secretary go with her.

The diligent secretary stuck closely by Finn Chandler’s side at the banquet, and they got acquainted, so Finn Chandler felt very at ease with her.

The restrooms were past a corridor.

The area had fewer people, much quieter than the bustling banquet hall behind, and the conversation of a man and woman ahead was clearly audible.

"President Warren just said he’s interested in you, go and keep him company tonight!"

The man said while pinching the woman’s chin, his tone was very frivolous and disdainful.

Though there were fewer people in the corridor, it didn’t mean no one would pass by.

This man just blurted out such things, without any consideration for the woman in his arms.

Openly pimping?

"Alright!"

"Honey, I’ll listen to you. Yesterday I saw a bag at the mall..."

The woman’s reply utterly shattered Finn Chandler’s and the secretary’s worldview.

They thought the woman would refuse!

How could she joke about her own body like that!

Who knew the woman actually agreed!

A real husband or a fake one!

Finn Chandler wasn’t one to gossip about other people’s business, she just had to pass by, but she turned her head to take a glance.
