The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 399: Senior Designer PattyAfter work that Friday, Laney accompanied Jhas usual.
"Are you busy with work lately? Why have you been acting so mysteriously the past few days?" Laney asked with slight frown.
She still lived in the sold apparent, which was near Janet’s new place.
Because their homes were relatively near each other, Laney usually walked hwith Janet.
Jsighed.
"I’m looking for a house."
"I heard that Mr.Larson is lending you a house."
"I know, but Mr Larson’s villa is way too luxurious for me.I have to spare stto find a new apartment" Jsaid warily.
It was clear that the matter was really stressing her out "Lethelp you.I have nothing to do after work anyway.Are you looking
for an apartment near the office?"
Secretly.
Laney couldn’t help but think that Jwas being too naive.
This was the most prosperous city center in Seacisco. Ordinary wage earners like them couldn’t afford rent here.
"Of course it’d be great if it’s near the office.I know that housing there is really expensive, but I was able to find a cheap
apartment before, right? I’m going to try my luck."
But finding an apartment at the right price point was not as easy as Jthought.
After making a few enquiries, she found that rent in the area was ridiculously high.
If she wanted to get to work on time, she’d have to get up two hours earlier than usual.
Laney figured that Ethan didn’t want Jto live in a tiny apartment in the suburb and spend hours commuting anymore, nor did
he want to expose his identity.
That would’ve explained why he gave her a house under the nof the Larson Group.
"Apartments here are really expensive.If you’re looking to rent a place as cheap as your old place, you’ll have to consider renting
in the suburbs," Laney suggested.
Knowing who Ethan was, Laney thought it was more reasonable for Jto just live in the villa.
Jshook her head, feeling depressed and helpless due to the exorbitant rent prices.
When she chome, Ethan immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Did you go looking for a new apartment again?" Ethan asked, leaning back on the spacious sofa.
The room was warm enough today, so he only wore a casual cotton shirt.
Feeling sore and tired, Jrubbed her shoulders and threw herself into Ethan’s arms.
"My conscience is killingnot to live in a fancy house like that.I feel like a freeloader, Ethan.This house doesn’t belong to us,
nor is it our home."
Ethan wrapped his arms around Janet’s waist and held her tightly.
Twirling her hair with his fingers, he murmured, "Given our current situation, it’ll be difficult to buy a house.You’ve been taking
care ofin the hospital lately.Your work must’ve been affected, right? Why don’t you stop looking for a new place and focus
your tand energy on work first?"
Her eyelids drooped and she said resignedly, "I guess we have no choice but to live here for the tbeing and move out as
soon as we have enough money."
Jhad been busy with her work lately.
The following day, while Jwas poring over her work, Tiffany cto her desk again.
"Please seein my office, Lind."
Jpromptly put aside her work and went to Tiffany’s office.
To her surprise, not only Tiffany was there but also a beautiful and sexy woman.
Lounging on the sofa, the corners of the woman’s slanted eyes were slightly raised, and her big black locks hung loosely around
her shoulders.
Her stunningly beautiful face was unforgettable.
"We have a big project on our hands, Lind.You’ll be in charge, along with the senior designer, Patty Jenkins."
Tiffany gestured at the beauty sitting on the sofa.
"It’s nice to meet you, Miss Lind.Good luck to us and our cooperation," said Patty with a reserved smile.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Jenkins.I hope we’ll have a pleasant cooperation, too."
Jnodded with a smile.She had heard of Patty.
This beautiful designer was very famous in the design department.
Not only was she a looker, she was also very talented.
Plus, she was the girlfriend of the director of operations of the Larson Group, so everyone tried to curry favor with her.
However, the senior designers were not on the sfloor with them.
Jdidn’t really know much about Patty, and she had only seen her several times in the department meetings.
Jfelt that Patty was a bit arrogant and unapproachable, but perhaps it was all justifiable since she was indeed young and
talented.
