Chapter 397
Eunice’s heart was filled with resistance.
Her emotions were evident even on her face.
“It seems like you are still displeased with me even though you know my identity.” Marina snorted.
“I wouldn’t dare. You’re Mr. Hernandez’s handpicked fiancée. Naturally, I’ll respect you as much as I respect Mr. Hernandez.”
“But, Miss Bailey, Mr. Hernandez isn’t an ordinary person. He has many matters to attend to. You can’t keep him idle all day.”
“His role is not as simple as you think. The slightest mistake will bring about irreversible danger.”
Eunice appeared heartbroken and aggrieved.
It was as though Marina was a vicious figure akin to a calamitous temptress.
Marina listened to what Eunice said with great interest.
This was the first time someone had spoken to her like this.
“Miss Jiles, you’re really loyal. Since you’ve already investigated my identity, have you also discovered that Mr. Hernandez is preparing to step down from his position at Hernandez Group?”
Marina said calmly and leisurely.
“What did you say?” Eunice’s eyes widened when she heard Marina’s words.
She was too obsessed with Marina previously.
Hence, she had been focused on digging into her background.
She didn’t care about anything else.
“I wonder if Simon no longer serves as the company’s president, would you still remain so loyal to the next?” Marina dragged out her last word.
However, Eunice was no longer in the mood to continue arguing with her.
She shifted her gaze to Simon.
“Mr. Hernandez, is what she said true? Are you really going to step down from the position of the company’s president?”
“Yes,” Simon answered without any
hesitation.
During this period, he had slowly begun to hand over the company’s matters to Edward.
However, it had been many years since Edward had come into contact with the company’s business.
It would take some time for him to familiarize himself with everything, so Simon was still holding the president’s position.
for now.
Once Lambert was familiar with the company’s operations, Simon would give up his position as the president.
“Why? You’ve worked so hard to reach this position. Why suddenly give it up?” Eunice’s tone was full of questioning.
She sounded as if she were asking a top student why they would choose to roast sweet potatoes instead of attending Janeborough University.
Her anger, frustration, and heartache were about to overwhelm her.
“This is my private matter. I don’t see why I should explain it to you.”
“Besides, you have already crossed the line with your recent actions.”
“I hope you can recognize your position. From now on, you don’t need to meddle in any of my affairs in Hustralia,” Simon said ruthlessly.
He didn’t even bother to see Eunice’s reaction and directly took Marina’s hand before leaving the hotel.
Eunice still wanted to say something. She turned around and was about to chase after them.
However, Gavin, who was standing nearby, suddenly blocked her path.
“Miss Jiles, please remember your position.”
Hearing this, Eunice turned even paler.
Everyone reminded her of her position.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm her emotions.
Then, she stared at Gavin in front of her.
Tell me the truth. Is Mr. Hernandez resigning from his position because of Marina?”
“Miss Jiles, this is not something you can ask about. If you have any concerns in the future, please contact me directly and refrain from appearing before Mr. Hernandez.”
Gavin didn’t intend to answer Eunice’s question.
After saying that, he immediately went to catch up with Simon and Marina.
Eunice was left standing alone in the hall.
Her face turned as pale as paper.
Hanging by her side, her hands were clenched into fists.
It must be that woman!
Eunice was sure that Simon made this decision because of Marina.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up the position he had worked so hard to earn.
That woman didn’t love Mr. Hernandez.
She was only a troublemaker who had caused harm to Simon!
Gavin gritted his teeth.
Compared to Eunice, who was filled with resentment, Marina was overjoyed.
“I swear Miss Jiles must hate me to death now. She might even try to undermine me behind my back,” Marina said happily as she got into the car.
Simon sat down beside her.
“Mrs. Hernandez, I must remind you that she is Hernandez Group’s secretary, not mine.”
“But I feel that her loyalty lies not with Hernandez Group but with you,” Marina said, propping her chin on one hand while casting a charming glance at Simon.
“You don’t need to test me. hand and gently kissing it.
My heart only has room for one person, and that’s you,” Simon said before holding Marina’s
He looked sincere and solemn.
Simon’s demeanor amused Marina.
She couldn’t keep up the act anymore.
Leisurely, she withdrew her hand.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let her appear before you again.” Simon could tell that Marina was not really angry.
However, as a responsible husband, he felt the need to address anything that might make his wife unhappy.
“It’s fine. Her little tricks can’t get to me anyway,” Marina said, unbothered.
After all, Eunice wasn’t worth the trouble.
She just found Eunice’s behavior amusing.
It was as if she considered herself Simon’s wife.
Simon Hernandez didn’t dwell on the topic any further.
In any case, Eunice had lost his trust.
Simon hated subordinates who had ulterior motives the most.
Especially those who thought they were clever and cunning.
This small interlude did not affect Marina and Simon’s mood.
Half an hour later, their car stopped in front of the trendy restaurant that Marina had chosen.
Gavin had already reserved a private room for them before their arrival.
Hence, the two ignored the long queue and followed the waiter into the private room.
However, a group approached from the side when they entered the corridor.
They were quite a large party, consisting of both men and women. At first glance, there were at least a dozen of them.
Each man was accompanied by a few gorgeous women.
Marina found some of those women familiar.
They seemed to be celebrities from the entertainment industry in Hustralia.
Gavin’s gaze fell on the man at the center of the group.
His eyes instantly widened.
Then, he immediately looked at Simon and Marina.
However, they seemed surprisingly calm.
It was as if they didn’t see anything.
Gavin immediately retracted his gaze.
Then, they entered the private room next door.
At the same time, the group of people entered the private room beside them.
