My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 775

Miles had dedicated all his time to work the past few years. Now, he had a car, a house, and plenty of savings, but he did not have a girlfriend yet.

Juan had dated a woman during his time working at the supervisory office. The woman was rumored to be an heiress to one of Caption’s wealthiest families as well, but they broke up because of incompatible personalities.

Lynn picked up her glass and pursed her lips before saying, “Let’s make a toast to our first dinner together as colleagues!”

“Yes, yes, a toast!”

Miles picked his glass up as well and turned to Nash. “Is there anything you'd like to say, Mr. Calcraft?”

Nash smiled as he picked up his glass. “Frankly speaking, there’s nothing more for me to say. All of you graduated from law school and have plenty of working experience too.

"You’re more well-informed in your work than I am, and I hope that you'll continue setting a good example for everyone else. Remember what got you into this field in the first place, and keep that motivation in mind when setting straight the terrible practices that are running rampant in Universal Group!”

…

At Royal Bay Villa 14, Atlas and Jesebel had returned home.

Jesebel began preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Atlas paced back and forth in the living room.

He and his master had split up that day, and he had seen three Ghoul Evils in the district. However, further investigation showed that the Ghoul Evil had actually vanished from the corpses, and his master could not be reached through the phone either. He had no idea what things were like on his end!

At that moment, he heard Eric's and Winnie’s voices.

“Are you really alright?”

“Don’t I look fine?”

“I think something about your face looks off?”

“Which part?”

Eric stopped at the entrance and stared at Winnie as he asked that question.

His face was so pale that he looked like he had dunked his face into flour.

The bags beneath his eyes were slightly reddish, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Winnie took two steps backward and said nervously, “Well... you just don’t look very good. You look half-dead!”

Eric rolled his eyes at Winnie as he took a mirror from his bag. He said, “Shut up if you have nothing nice to say. Half-dead my ass… Oh my god…”

He was a Golden Amulet Master but somehow managed to nearly lose his life to Ghoul Evil.

Good was always supposed to triumph over evil. His actions today were an embarrassment to the rest of the people doing good!

Atlas said worriedly, “How should we help you, then?”

Eric’s lips trembled as he said with great effort, “Sticky… Sticky wheat…”

Atlas immediately rifled through his master’s bag for sticky wheat.

However, Eric had used up all his sticky wheat when battling the ghoul earlier.

Jesebel said, “I bought some sticky wheat today. I’ll go get it…”

As she spoke, she hurried to the kitchen and filled a bowl with sticky wheat.

Atlas immediately placed a handful of sticky wheat on top of his master’s wound.

The wound began emanating white smoke.

“Gosh… Couldn’t you have let me know you were going to do that, you little jerk? I wasn’t ready!”
