My beautiful boss

Chapter 129 Holding Hands

"No, thank you. I'm just looking," Shelly said, a bit embarrassed. She could not help herself from appreciating the red 3-Series BMW on display.

Looking at the car, Peter remembered a popular saying: "I would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle."

He was impressed that Shelly had good taste.

The BMW was well-designed. All its lines were clean and sleek. Anyone would be tempted to purchase such a premium product.

"Let's have a closer look at it," Peter said despite her hesitation.

The car was about a hundred thousand dollars, which was something Peter could afford as he had 20 million dollars with him.

"Oh, no. Thank you so much, but no. I don't need it. I just wanted to take a look," Shelly said nervously. She only intended to accompany Peter in buying a car for Bella. She had no intention of getting one herself.

"Don't worry. I have enough money," Peter assured her. "How much is it?" he asked the salesgirl.

The salesgirl began to give him extensive details about the car as she looked at Shelly with envy.

Hooking up with rich men wasn't easy, nowadays. Even if you found one, convincing him to buy you a luxury car would be even more difficult.

Only a few rich men were like Peter. Not only was he young, he was also very handsome and generous.

'Why am I not as lucky?'

the salesgirl thought as she gazed at Peter.

"Peter, I really don't need it. Even if you buy it for me, I will not be able to afford its use and maintenance," Shelly said.

Despite her gratefulness, she had to refuse Peter's kindness. She was not after his money. He might misunderstand.

"What do you mean? I was not going to buy it for you. I was only planning to lend it to you. Don't think about it too much," Peter replied. Seeing that Shelly would not accept his gift, he decided to change his strategy.

"As part of the Sales Department, you have to keep working, rain or shine. You will also need to take the subway, even in rush hours. A car would make things easier for you. What's more, having a car can improve your image. It can make people more eager to discuss business with you.

If you do not feel comfortable accepting the gift, you can pay me back when you make enough money. In case I go broke in the future, at least I will get to rely on you," Peter explained.

Hearing Peter's explanation filled Shelly with sadness.

While she did receive a lot of growth, she did have more than her fair share of hardships.

Just as Peter narrated, she had to work hard regardless of wind and rain. She also had to take the subway and bus during rush hours every day. As soon as she got home, she would feel extremely exhausted. All she would be able to do was to lie down in bed.

"Peter, you are so kind," Shelly said as she kissed Peter on the cheek. She almost wanted to cry.

"I promise, if you really do go broke one day, I will be there to support you. I will work as hard as I have to just so I am sure that you will have enough food and clothing," she said. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It was a simple message, but Shelly meant every word. Was this her special way to show her true feelings?

Peter smiled at her slyly and then he bought the BMW without hesitation.

Before they left, he also got himself a Hummer.

There were no more stocks left so they would have to go back for it a few days later.

The salesgirl stared at Peter and Shelly as they left.

She wished she could meet such a thoughtful man too, in the future. Even if he were not rich, she would still be willing to stay with him forever.

After leaving the car shop, Peter bid Shelly goodbye and he made his way back to the office.

She reminded him of their evening plans and then left him to his day.

Upon returning, Peter closed the door of his office and began to plan the training program.

It was a fairly easy task for him given his years of experience in the army.

Moreover, all the difficulties and disputes he was involved in, in his life, made him realize the importance of power.

He was determined to cultivate this as his asset because he was sure that it would definitely help him in the future.

Peter spent the whole afternoon designing the program. He based it on actual facts and capabilities of the Security Department of Silverland Group, without sugarcoating.

Peter immediately packed and left as soon as he finished the program.

Bella did not come to see him for the whole day. Thinking that she was a very busy woman, Peter decided it was best not to bother her.

Peter met Shelly at the front gate of Silverland Group.

She was no longer wearing her work uniform. Instead, she had changed into a lovely lavender dress as her long hair fell over her shoulders. It made her look very youthful.

Her arms were smooth like jade. Visible under the hemline of her dress were her soft and delicate calves. On her feet were blue sandals.

She was very beautiful.

All was well.

"My dear!" Shelly exclaimed joyfully, immediately walking towards Peter and putting her hand on his arm. They looked like a couple!

The pleasure on Peter's face made Shelly very happy. Her dimples appeared when she smiled.

She knew that it was nice for girls to dress-up for their sweethearts. She would not normally put out this much effort if she were not meeting Peter.

"Ah, where did this goddess come from? She looks familiar," Peter exclaimed and then smiled. "When did you become so pretty, Shelly?"

"I have always been pretty!" she said as she pinched his arm and gave him an angry glare.

"Oh? How could such a pretty lady be so fierce? I always thought you looked nice in your office uniform, but seeing you like this made me realize that you look even more charming when you're in your casual clothes," Peter said.

"You're so pretentious, Peter! You pretend to be so nice but you're actually so naughty!" Shelly said as her cheeks turned pink.

Talking and laughing, they soon arrived at their destination: Flourishing Dynasty.

The place sounded like a KTV, but it was actually a club.

It provided accommodation, entertainment, and other services.

It was not one of the most high-end clubs in Golden City, but it was one of the most well-known ones as it was frequented by overnight millionaires.

Martin Huang was the customer who asked Shelly out. As a senior executive of a private hospital, he was over forty years old. He was worth over tens of millions.

He intended to dine and sing with Shelly, but he also had his own ulterior motives.

Peter and Shelley climbed to the third floor and entered River Embankment box.

This was a private room Martin Huang reserved for his meeting with Shelly.

Martin Huang was already waiting.

He looked gentle and handsome in his formal suit and glasses, but his overall image was dampened by his bulging beer belly and his deep-sunk eyes.

"Shelly, you are here!" Martin Huang said as he stood up with a big smile. He was stunned at her beauty.

He had only seen Shelly in her office uniform. Seeing her dressed more casually, he felt so refreshing.

She looked so youthful and charming but still oozing with finesse. She was truly a beautiful lady! He was now very determined to chase Shelly.

As he indulged in his fantasy, he suddenly became uncomfortable.

He saw a man coming in after Shelly, and they were holding hands.

Apparently, he was with her.
