Chapter 158 Out of Character
Anyone who saw Jude’s face right now would probably think the world was ending.
Otherwise<b>, </b>why would Jude be making such a scary expression?
Just then, Vassal walked in, sounding both cheerful and respectful.

“Boss, we just signed the big deal–billions of dors! Everyone’s talking about throwing a party to celebrate. Are youing?”
On the surface, Vassal was just Jude’s bodyguard and all–around assistant on business trips.
But behind the scenes, he’d help Jude with pretty much anything, even cleaning up messes when things got out of hand.
This time, Jude hade all the way to Lucien just for this deal.
The Lucien branch had been struggling for a while. When Jude showed up and took charge, things finally worked out.
Vassal happened to see Jude’s smile at that very moment.
His first reaction?
<i>Am </i><i>I </i><i>seeing </i><i>this </i><i>right</i>?
He even rubbed his eyes just to check.
<i>Wait</i><i>–</i>no <i>way</i><i>! </i><i>The </i>boss is <i>smiling</i><i>! </i>
Jude put away his phone and said calmly, “I’ll join the party.”
“Hmm, I’ll let everyone know. Wait, Boss, did you say you’ll join?”
“Are you deaf?” Jude shot Vassal a cold look.
Vassal instantly felt a chill run down his back; his back broke out in sweat. He lowered his head and stammered, “No–no! If the team finds out you’reing, everyone will be thrilled!”
He hurried out of the office like he was running for his life. Vassal’s heart was still racing, and his brain was reeling in disbelief.
<i>Jude </i><i>Bell</i>… <i>actually </i><i>agreed </i>to <ie </i>to <i>a </i><i>celebration </i><i>party</i><i>? </i>
<i>This </i>is a <i>first</i><b><i>! </i></b>
No matter how big the deals theirpany closed or how much money they made, Jude had never attended any celebration parties.
In Vassal’s memory, Jude only ever epted invitations from Alfie or Maurice once in a while.
<b><i>What </i></b>in the <i>world </i><i>happened </i><i>to </i><i>put </i>my boss <i>in </i><i>such </i><i>a </i>good <i>mood</i><i>? </i>

Meanwhile, Clive was still sneaking around. He was secretly recording Tilda.
“Hey, Wade, Tilda’s talking to someone. She actually looks pretty happy… not so cold and distant anymore.”
“I know,” Wade replied, his voice sounding sour.
Wade didn’t even need Clive’s live updates.
Through the video feed, he could sense everything. Wade’s voice wasced with obvious jealousy.
Clive fell silent for a moment, almost doubting his own senses.
<i>Am </i>I <i>just </i><i>imagining </i><i>it</i><i>? </i>
<i>Why </i><i>do </i>I <i>get </i>a <i>feeling </i><i>that </i><i>Wade </i><i>is </i><i>actually </i><i>jealous</i><i>? </i>
The world hasn’t copsed, has it?
Suddenly, a sharp voice startled him.
“What are you doing?!”
Clive jumped, fumbling his phone, which crashed to the ground with a loud crack.
The screen went ck–instantly.
<i>Seriously</i><i>? </i><i>My </i><i>super</i><i>–</i><i>expensive </i><i>titanium </i><i>phone </i><i>broke </i><i>that </i><i>easily</i>? <i>Total </i><i>scam</i><i>! </i>
Clive spun around and found Una standing there. Her arms were on her hips, eyes zing as she red at him.
“Were you just secretly recording Tilda? You creep! And to think you’re supposed to be our senior and a Rowse!”
“Hey, stop making things up! Why would I record Tilda? I’m not crazy!”
Clive denied it repeatedly. Just to get rid of evidence, he stomped on his expensive phone, crushing the screen to pieces.
Now, the evidence was gone.
“You creep!”
Una red at him, rolling up her sleeves, ready for a fight. Tilda walked over after noticing the argument. “Una, what’s going on?”
Una wasted no time. Sheined, “Tilda, he’s being a total creep! Hiding here and filming you. He’s <b>gross</b><b>!</b>”
Oh Tilda raised an eyebrow. Her eyes turned cold as she stared at Clive.
<b>Hey</b>, Una, don’t throw away baseless usations! I wasn’t recording anyone!” Clive insisted. <fndbde> Original content can be found at Find1Novel</fndbde>

Tilda replied coolly, “Well, it’s simple. I’ll just call Andy. I hate to bother him, but clearing up my name is important.”
“Wait–please, don’t!” Clive instantly caved.
If his family found out about this, or if Andy got involved, it would be a disaster for Clive. Things would be out of control, and he’d be in real trouble.
Clive had probably ended up with a broken leg.
Backed into a corner, Clive threw his buddy under the bus.
“It was Wade! He was the one spying on Tilda! He must have been nning something really shady!”
Una clenched her teeth in anger.
If Wade had been there, she would have punched him right in the face, no questions asked.
Clive thought to himself, “Sorry, Wade, but better you than me. If this blows up, I wouldn’t survive it anyway!
If things really blew up, how could Clive handle it? He’d get beaten up for sure!
But to everyone’s surprise-
“Oh.”
That was all Tilda said.
Una and Clive both stared at her in shock.
<i>Seriously</i>? <i>Just </i><i>one </i>word<i>? </i><i>Nothing </i><i>else</i><i>? </i>
Tilda looked at Una and said, “Rx. Everyone’s watching. It’s your mom’s birthday party. Let’s just enjoy the party.”
