My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 189: Jealous



In Eris' heart, nothing was more important than a date with Brian.He had been busy with the company's affairs, so it had been a
long time since they last shared a meal.Eris changed her clothes and went out, beaming with happiness.
'Well, everything is going so smoothly.Wendy's career is over.Brian has proposed to me.Things are going in my favor.It would be
better if Brian's father dies soon, though.When that happens, Brian will take over the family business, and we could get married
without anyone going against our way.Once we get married, I'll finally be Mrs.Oliver.I can't wait!"
Twenty minutes later Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in!" Brian said loudly.
Upon hearing that, Eris pushed the door of the private room open.She then took off her sunglasses and mask and jumped into
Brian's arms.
"Brian!" she called.
"You came," Brian replied with a smile.
"Surprised?" Eris looked at the snacks on the table, and her eyes lit up in delight.
"Wow! Chocolate mousse, my favorite! Brian, you're so kind to me.Sadly, I'm on a diet, so I can't eat too much sweets.Why don't
we eat it together? Would that be okay?"
"Sounds good."
Eris sliced the chocolate mousse in half and pushed the plate in front of Brian.
Meanwhile, Brian's eyes were fixed on Eris.
She looked lovely.
It appeared that she dressed up for their date.
She was wearing a pure white off-shoulder shirt that was partnered with a beige chiffon skirt with an uneven hem, which seemed
like flowers scattered across her calves.
Her long and straight black hair fell over her shoulders.

Needless to say, she looked charming.
Seeing that Brian was staring at her with a burning gaze, Eris covered her face with her hands shyly and asked, "Why are you
looking at me like that?"
Brian withdrew his gaze and changed the topic.
"Why didn't you go to the filming site today?" he asked lightly.
"Well, Wendy..."
"Wendy?"
"Yes!"
Eris feigned a pitiful look on her face.
"Have you seen the news about her? Brian, I feel so guilty.If I weren't impulsive back then...Forget it.It's useless to talk about the
past.When the reporters interviewed me last night, I put on a good word for her.But I didn't expect them to say something so
awful about her.I figured that there must be a lot of reporters at the filming site, so I've decided to avoid them in the
meantime.You know, reporters are good at making groundless accusations.If I went there and said something wrong, I'd only dig
Wendy a deeper hole."
Eris appeared to be worried about Wendy.
Brian pursed his lips upon hearing that.
Without beating around the bush, he looked straight into her eyes and asked, "Eris, don't you have anything to tell me?"
The smile on Eris' face faded at once.
She was taken aback by his question, and her heart started pounding wildly in her chest.She observed Brian and found that, for
some reason, he looked somber.
"Brian, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing." Eris knew in an instant that he was lying.

They had been together for years, so she knew that something must be going on in his mind.
At the thought of this, her heart skipped a beat.She could not help but be a little restless.
All of a sudden, something occurred to her.
‘'Why did Brian suddenly come here? Is he here to visit me? But that's highly unlikely.Every time he visits me, he'd inform me in
advance.Now that I think of it, he is here while Wendy is under fire.Oh no! Could it be that Wendy is the reason he's here? Did
she say anything to him?’'
At the thought of this, anxiety and apprehension flashed in her eyes.She held Brian's hand and asked, "Did anyone speak ill of
me again? Brian, we're engaged! We're going to get married soon.We're the closest people in the world.Don't believe what they
say.You know me best."
Brian lifted his gaze and, ever so slowly, broke away from her grasp.He then pushed her hand, which made her face change
dramatically.
"Brian—"
"I'll ask you again.Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
"OO”
"Or, should I ask, is there anything you want to confess?"
Eris was both angry and anxious by his questions.
'Damn it! It must be that bitch Wendy! What did she say to Brian? He has never been like this." Eris was scared out of her wits.
To make things worse, she had no idea what the hell Wendy had said, so she could not defend herself.
Nevertheless, she figured it was worth a shot to ask about it.
"Did Wendy say something to you? Brian, you know me! Why do you believe her instead of me, your fiancee?"
‘'That's right.You're my fiancee.I've always regarded you as the closest person in my life.But what did you do? You made a fool
out of me" Brian clenched his fists, and his eyes turned red in anger.

"Eris, I'll ask you for the last time.Is there anything you want to confess?"
"What are you saying? I've never hidden anything from you!" Eris answered in panic.
Whatever it was that Brian was accusing her, she refused to admit it.
Brian looked at her, disappointment written all over his face.
Eris was flustered to see that look on his face.
This was the first time she felt this way.
She had a feeling that she was going to lose him right there and then.
Unable to take it any longer, Eris stood up, walked up to him, and got down on her knees in front of him to prove her sincerity
and innocence.
"Brian, I really don't know what you're talking about.I "
Before she could finish her sentence, Brian sneered and interrupted her.
"Wendy called you a while ago, didn't she? I heard everything."
As if Brian pressed the pause button, Eris's expression froze.It was as though that time had stopped.
The two stared into each other's eyes and did not move or say anything.
Brian watched as Eris' expression turned into shock, fluster, jealousy, resentment, and lastly, panic.
There was no need for her to say anything.
Her eyes said it all.
It was then that he believed everything Wendy had said was right.
His veins bulged on his forehead in anger.
Brian stared at Eris with a piercing gaze and asked, "Do you think I'm stupid? Is it fun to make a fool out of me?"

"Brian, let me explain!"
Brian's gaze fell on Eris' hand.
She was wearing the ring he gave her when he proposed.
It was glinting from the lights overhead, and Brian felt that it was mocking him.
At that moment, he shook off Eris's hand coldly.
"Brian!" Eris called out.
This time, she was really in panic.
Although he was struggling to break away from her, she did not let him go.
"Brian, please give me a chance to explain myself.Listen to me!"
"What else do you want to say? I know everything!"
"I confess! I admit I hate Wendy.I hate her so much that I wish she'd disappear out of my life.I'm jealous of her! I'm jealous that
she's your first love.I'm jealous that she's become so beautiful.I'm afraid...I'm afraid you'll rekindle your relationship with her and
abandon me." Eris hugged him tightly and cried.
"I'm so scared.Brian, I know it was wrong of me to do that, but I just love you so much.I don't want to lose you!"
