A prolonged absence from home for a family heir is an opportunity for the heir's enemies to take advantage of to attack.
Selena was not legally married to Osvaldo and she had not done everything a wife should do for her husband.
She would feel guilty if she caused him any damage or distress as a result.
A flicker of worry crossed her eyes as she lowered her head and concentrated on eating.
The moment Osvaldo stepped into the hall, he sensed his wife seemingly in a bad mood.
A suggestion of strange coldness crept up to his eyes. Osvaldo came over and asked in the gentlest tone, "What's wrong?" Stunned for a moment, Selena looked up and said to him, "You should go home more often if you've got time." She smiled at him, "Don't worry about me. The problem in Creephia does me no harm." Osvaldo looked into her eyes with his deep black eyes unblinkingly.
Selena might have not been in love, but she was perceptive.
If he crossed the line, even if it was not serious, she would push him away and observe carefully in a distance what he would do next, just like a frightened cat.
Osvaldo was aware of this point. If he had shown any desire to possess and love her, she would have fled immediately and never given him the chance to approach again.

Osvaldo gazed at her. After learning that she was purely concerned about him, he smiled pleasantly, "I have no other siblings, and my mother had my father to take care of." Selena still stared at him. He added expressionlessly, "I'll be disliked when | go back." He only needed to worry about her.
And he wanted to worry only about her.
Words failed Selena.
He would be disliked if he went home? How come? Selena subconsciously turned to look at Hattie.
Looking at Osvaldo with a solemn face for a moment, Hattie curled her lips and reluctantly nodded, "It's true, Selena. It's known that Osvaldo's parents are an affectionate couple. If you don't "take in" Osvaldo, he may always be homeless." Men are as slippery as an eel, but with different levels.
Osvaldo was clearly the one at the top of the pyramid.
Most importantly, he truly liked, loved and respected Selena.
While Selena, perhaps did not even notice that the way she looked at Osvaldo was different from the way she looked at others.
Hattie had said so to help Osvaldo, seeing Selena seemed to like him too.
Selena didn't know what to say.
Osvaldo tenderly touched her forehead, his voice revealing a hint of, misleadingly, self-mockery and sympathy. He smiled, "There are a few big projects in Creephia this year. | may have to stay here for the next few months. Is my lady also uncomfortable with me for coming back frequently?" Selena grinned, an aura of sweetness emanating from her, "No, I'm happy that | can see you every day." As long as what he wanted was not something she couldn't afford to give, and her existence wouldn't be a bother for him, they could become close friends.
She raised her hand and touched Osvaldo's chin. What a beautiful face. Even if he was an eye candy, she would still feel pleasant to the eye seeing him every day.
With a look of pure appreciation, she looked at him and said with a smile, "Remember to have meals timely even if you're busy.
That's what you told me. You can't forget it." A shadow of a smile touched his mouth as he gave a nod and went to sit down at the table eating dinner with his lovely wife.
After having lunch, Selena drove to the Olympus Group.
Luke came to the office at the right time, and before Selena could enter the president's office, he ran into her walking out of the lift.
The corners of Luke's lips twitched. He quipped he was under a lot of pressure with such an assiduous leader liker her.
"Lady Selena, there are still a thousand years away from your husband to be broke. You really don't need to work so hard." He said and made an eye gesture to show that what he said was true.
Selena sighed slightly, "No way." Luke followed her into the office and asked curiously, "Why?" "There are still a thousand years away from me catching up with his family fortune. I will have to be a little more diligent." Luke was left speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter putting the game project in her hand on the desk, Selena turned to look at Luke and said with a serious face, "He is loaded, while | am still in a state of nothing. If I don't work hard now, what if he falls in love with someone else some day and dumps me?" Luke didn't know what to reply.
What had that man done to his wife to make her have such dangerous thoughts? Selena raised her eyebrows and asked with a grin, "Besides, how can | accept his financial support all the time? | can also do it for him, can't I?" Luke decided not to ask further. If he continued, Selena might beat him up.
Suddenly, he noticed the project on the table and he asked with interest, "Is that game project of the Riddle Group?" How did Selena get the important project so easily? Was it because the staff of the Riddle Group were stupid, or Selena was cruel? Selena's delicate red lips were slightly curled up, "I think it's good. It'll be a solid profit." Luke flipped it open and skimmed it through. Something that could win Selena's recognition were undoubtedly good enough. But the problem now was...
"When do you plan to ship it?" "The sooner the better,” Selena's dark eyes lingered with a touch of coldness, "the better to make it before the International Scents Competition." Luke looked at her with a serious face, "Lady Selena, have you really decided?" Selena looked up at him, as she didn't understand why he was asking that.
Luke stared at the woman opposite. Selena gave the impression that she was always gentle and elegant, but she was a little overly cold and ruthless at the same time.
"Your mom put all her efforts into the Riddle Group, and once this game is released, the Group would probably declare bankruptcy.” The Riddle Group was, after all, the fruit of painstaking labor of Selena's mother.
They all thought that Selena would find a way to revive the Riddle Group's glory. She had the ability and capital to do so, and with the Olympus Group's support, it was not a difficult task for Selena.
Instead, she chose to share the same pain, allowing the Group to follow her family to their destruction.
This approach, to Luke, seemed somewhat unbelievable and more than anything else, regrettable.
Even though Luke did not like her family, Selena was related to her family by blood. On another hand, Selena was even more cold and ruthless to her father than her father was to her.
