The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 811

Janet could tell that Kelly had no intention of leaving even after Garrett and Laney had gone. She took a deep breath and compelled a smile. "Miss Astley! I wish I could invite you in for a cup of tea or something, but the studio is only open to staff."

"You!" Kelly was furious at Janet. "Forget it. It's not worth my while to argue with a rude woman like you."

Snorting, she turned around and walked away with the documents.

Back in the car, Kelly flung the document onto the passenger seat, trying to suppress her anger. She had expected Laney to be a hooligan and that her companions, insolent.

She couldn't deal with Laney herself, it was true, but she could ask someone else to.

Kelly took out her phone to call Garrett's mother --Vera Harding.

Vera was having afternoon tea with other wealthy ladies. They were discussing the jewelry that was up for auction recently.

Vera excused herself when her phone rang and then went to the garden to take the call.

"Kelly! What's the matter?" In a stern voice, she asked, "Shouldn't you be in a meeting with Garrett at this time?"

"Mr. Harding said that he couldn't go to the meetingandaskedmetopostponeitto tomorrow." Kelly sighed.

Noticing something was amiss, Vera asked seriously, "What happened?"

"Nothing," Kelly said in a trembling voice. "Mr. Harding has told me... That I can't tell anyone about it."

Vera's face hardened and her eyes sharpened. "What can Garrett do to you when it was I who chose you? You can tell me anything, and I'll take the responsibility."

"The restaurant's specialty is their carbonara." Garrett ordered two dishes for Laney. He knew she liked creamy food.

Laney had not allowed herself to eat as much as she wanted for a very long time. She was under Vera's strict diet monitoring. Garret ordered Laney two plates, which she wolfed down because she was so hungry today.

She ate happily, unaware of the cream on the corner of her mouth.

Garrett was a little amused to see her this way. He grabbed a napkin to wipe the cream from her lips. "You've seemed more like a child since you became pregnant. It looks like that I will be raising two children in the future."

"I don't need you to treat me like a child," Laney said stubbornly as she wiped creamy sauce from her mouth. "After I've given birth, I plan to continue working like Tasha."

She felt envious when she saw Tasha working even if she was pregnant. Thinking of her present situation, she couldn't help but feel a bit sad.
