My Bossy CEO Husband

‘Odette! Odette again!’ Wendy remembered the strange look in Luke's eyes when he mentioned the woman, as well as Odette's
inexplicable hostility toward her.
She frowned, her heart growing heavy.
‘Didn't Ryan say that he has nothing to do with Odette? Why would Jeffrey say such a thing?’ Wendy bit her lip.
"Ryan and Odette..."
"Well..."
Jeffrey initially wanted to keep her guessing, but the fire in Wendy's eyes ignited his own jealousy.He heaved a long sigh.
"Uncle Ryan ordered Glory Media to turn Odette into a star." Wendy's face shifted.
She had heard about Odette before.
Odette had entered the entertainment industry at the age of sixteen and managed to bag the best actress award a year later.
After that, however, she hadn't been able to land any good projects.
Reviews and feedback of her succeeding work had been bad, each one worse than the last.
Eventually, she had stopped accepting projects altogether and disappeared from public view.She had stayed silent until her
contract with her original agency expired.She had then signed with Glory Media, but it did nothing for her dwindling fame.She
had continued to struggle for the next two years.
Gradually, she didn't have many projects.It wasn't until five years ago that she had finally landed an excellent role.
The script was good, and her co-stars were all big names in the industry.
This was the big break she had been waiting for, and she successfully turned the opportunity in her favor.
Since then, she had won the best actress award twice more, which firmly established her footing in the film circle.‘SO...
it was all thanks to Ryan that Odette became famous again?’ Wendy's heart ached with bitterness.
As far as she knew, Ryan had never been such a generous person.

To put it bluntly, even if a peerless beauty shed her clothes and crawled into his bed, he would simply shove her to the floor
without a second thought.
He would most likely berate her for dirtying his sheets, too.
How could a man like him go out of his way to personally ensure that Odette secured a position in the show business? 'He told
me that he had nothing to do with Odette.Who the hell would believe that?’ Wendy thought sardonically, her mood turning fouler
by the second.
She padded barefoot across the carpet and opened the window.
The cold wind blew into the room, making her shiver; yet it cleared her head and calmed her rampaging emotions.
"Wendy..."
"I'm fine."
Jeffrey was still worried, but he didn't know what more to say at that point.
She looked as pale as death; how could she be fine? He instantly regretted telling her everything, but there was nothing he could
do to take his words back.
Besides, he had initially done it with Wendy's best interests in mind.
She might be smart and clever, but even Jeffrey knew that she couldn't resist the temptation that good-looking men offered.
Not only was Ryan attractive, he was also cunning.
Jeffrey just didn't want Wendy to be tricked and cheated by Ryan.‘Yes! That's it, exactly! I'm only worried that he might fool
her.This is the only reason I'm doing this! Jeffrey nodded to himself, reassured by his own reasoning.
"Jeffrey..."
"What is it?"
"I'm sleepy."
"Ah, okay."

Jeffrey scratched his head sheepishly.
"I'm quite exhausted myself.I'll go back to my room and get some rest.See you at the set tomorrow."
Wendy raised a hand and gave him a weak little wave.
As soon as he left, Wendy washed up and brushed her teeth, then did her nightly skincare routine.
By the time she lay on her bed, it was already one in the morning.
She turned off the lights and closed her eyes.But sleep would not come.She tossed and turned and even counted sheep, but her
efforts were all in vain.
All she could think about was that time when Ryan declared his intention of pursuing her again.
"Damn it!"
Wendy sat up on the bed, her brows furrowed with irritation.She grabbed her phone from the nightstand and stared at her
screen.
Another hour had passed.She proceeded to open her call logs.
Ryan hadn't called her, not even once.She then checked her WeChat.
He hadn't sent a message either.
‘Huh! He hasn't even called or texted the whole day! Is this how he should be acting after making that embarrassing profession?
Gritting her teeth, Wendy blocked Ryan's phone number and WeChat account."
Just wait and see! I won't give you a chance!"
Wendy tossed the phone back on the nightstand and burrowed into her blanket.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in
an attempt to empty her mind.
To her utter dismay, not even ten seconds had gone by before she began mulling over the matter again.
‘What the hell is the relationship between Ryan and Odette?Why is Odette so openly hostile to me? Is it possible that Ryan is
having a fling with Odette when he is trying to pursue me? Maybe he is two-timing us and she finds out...’ "Ah, damn it!" Wendy

cursed and sat up in bed again.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!"
For all she knew, while she wasted her time agonizing over her questions, Ryan might be sleeping soundly in his corner of the
world.
‘Why am I bothering with this in the first place? It's ridiculous and idiotic.Is it really worth losing sleep over?’ Wendy scratched her
head and picked up her phone again.
She rummaged around her WeChat and removed Ryan's account from the blocked list.Then, she typed a short message, closed
her eyes, took a deep breath, and sent it.
The message read, "Let me ask you one last time, Ryan.What is your relationship with Odette?!"
On the other hand, Ryan was laying staring at the ceiling in the ward.He wasn't sleepy at all.He had grown used to having
Wendy around.
In the past, even though they weren't in the same room, he could sleep soundly knowing that she was within his reach.But now,
he just couldn't sleep at all.
Ryan flicked the lamp on and picked up his iPad from the bedside table.He might as well do some work instead of idling the
hours away.
Precious was already fast asleep.She lay on her stomach, her arms and legs tucked close, her head turned sideways.Her plump
little face was pressed against the pillow, making her cheek look like a fat dumpling.
Ryan sighed as he watched her snore softly.He rather envied the girl at that moment.He reached out to put the quilt over her
shoulders, then buried himself with business matters.
Time flew by without his notice.
And then, his phone buzzed.It was his private phone, meaning it was only accessible to those who were particularly close to him.
Ryan put down his iPad and checked his phone screen.Wendy sent him a message.
"Let me ask you for the last time, Ryan.What's your relationship with Odette?!"

It seemed like she was extremely upset.
Ryan raised his eyebrows.He peeked at the time.It was eight past two in the morning.
‘She's still awake at this hour?’ Ryan's lips curled into a smile as his fingers worked to find her number and press call.
To his surprise, it wasn't Wendy's voice that greeted him, but an operator's.
"Sorry, the number you are calling is currently unavailable." Ryan frowned.
‘Is she on the phone with someone else? At two o'clock in the morning?’ He waited for a few minutes before calling her again,
but he was met with the same fate.
It took Ryan three more tries before he realized something.He had been added to the blocked list.
Instead of getting angry, he tried to analyze the possible events that had led to this.
Since Wendy sent him this message in the middle of the night, she must be unable to sleep as well.
And judging by the tone of her question, she must have heard the rumors about him and Odette.
Being blacklisted was supposed to be annoying, infuriating even.But Ryan leaned back against the headboard and let out a
hearty chuckle.
‘So Wendy is mad about that.That only means that she cares about me.And most importantly, she's jealous!’
