Back then, Stephen was just a poor college student. If I hadn't funded our startup, he would have been just another ordinary worker by now.
As I was thinking, Stephen hurriedly pushed open the office door.
"What are you doing here?"
"Can't I be here?"
Stephen's eyes fell on the computer screen.
"You touched my computer?"
"Yes, I suddenly wanted to check the company's recent status, but it seems you've changed the password?"
Stephen helped me up from the chair. "You're about to give birth. Stop causing trouble, okay?"
I gazed at him seriously. At that moment, I realized how unfamiliar he had become. This was not the Stephen I knew.
Where did the old Stephen go? I desperately wanted to find him again.
"Honey, do you have some misunderstanding?" I said, wrapping my arms around his waist and speaking in a coquettish tone. "I actually came today to transfer the company and all my shares to you."
Stephen's furrowed brows relaxed, and he looked at me incredulously. "What did you say?"
"When we started this venture capital company, it was to help you start your own business. Now that you can handle things on your own, I can step down gracefully."
"Have you forgotten what I was like before we met? I just want to relax and enjoy life.
After the baby is born, I'll focus on raising the child and become a beautiful full-time
housewife. How does that sound?"
Everything I said was true. When we started this company, it was to help Stephen grow and achieve his dreams.
Money is not an issue for me.
When I turned to look at her, I saw the hidden jealousy in her eyes.
"Miss Lewis, you're here too? I have some matters to discuss with Mr. Collins. Could you let me borrow him for a few minutes?"
I still held onto Stephen, not letting go, and said calmly, "You should call me Mrs. Collins. I definitely can't lend you my husband, but you can talk about whatever you need to now."
I turned to Stephen, "Honey, is there something I shouldn't hear?"
Stephen affectionately rubbed my head. "Don't overthink it. There's nothing in the company that you can't know about."
Lily's smile stiffened as she placed a document on the table. "This is last month's financial report. Please take a look."
"I'll review it later. You can leave now!" Stephen dismissed her coldly, his expression flawless.
At that moment, I deeply realized how adept he was at deceiving me.
