My Online Boyfriend Turned Out to Be My Billionaire Boss Chapter 09

Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang took very good care of me. Each day, they only increased my tasks a little, giving me plenty of time to adapt. 

“Lily, next week is the company team building. Go ask Mr. Locke for his opinion in a bit?” 

Mr. Yang was a middle–aged man, slightly chubby, wearing a pair of “reading glasses” that looked old–fashioned but were actually absurdly expensive. 

He pointed at the resort photos on the desk and smiled as he pushed them toward me. 

“Oh, okay, Mr. Yang. I’ll go now.” 

While organizing the materials, I counted twenty–one photos in total. All were five–star standard. Any one of them would have been great. 

Zachary was busy handling documents. When he saw me enter, he immediately closed them and pulled me onto his lap. 

“Where do you want to go?” 

I pulled out the photo of “Mountain Rain” and whined, “This 

one.” 

“Good. We’ll do what you want.” 

I gazed into those hazel eyes that could drown me and felt happiness bubbling in my heart. 

Just then, Charlotte suddenly barged in. 

Seeing me sitting comfortably on the boss’s lap, her bright, 

beautiful face instantly darkened like ink. 

“Charlotte, did you forget to knock?” 

Zachary’s face immediately turned ugly. The large hand 

around my waist tightened unconsciously. 

“Sorry, Mr. Locke. There’s an urgent document. I didn’t have 

time to pay attention.” 

Charlotte sounded completely serious. 

But the document she handed over was for “packaging design.” 

Zachary swept a glance over it and, for the sake of giving her face, endured it. 

I wanted to get up, but the hand at my waist showed no intention of letting go. 

In this situation, I really wanted to buy a block of tofu and smash my head into it. 

“Mr. Locke seems to appreciate Miss Lily more and more.” 

Charlotte exhaled irritably. Her eyes were fixed on Zachary, but I could clearly feel her hostility toward me. 

“She’s my fiancée. If I don’t appreciate her, who am I supposed to appreciate? You?” 

Zachary spoke extremely bluntly, his expression serious as he stared at the uninvited guest. Anyone could see he was very unhappy. 

Charlotte was left speechless by his jab, her mouth hanging open in失控, 

I was also dumbfounded. 

Our relationship was public just like that? 

Charlotte left in a hurry, even forgetting to take the document. 

The Executive Office door slammed shut, making Zachary frown again. 

“Did baby get scared?” 

He pressed me into his arms and kissed me again and again. 

“I feel like she wanted to eat me alive.” 

I really did feel that way. 

Especially the death stare she gave me before leaving. It still made my heart shake. 

“Hubby is here. Baby doesn’t need to be scared.” 

The next day, when I saw the official notice transferring Charlotte to Africa to support the factory project, I knew my dear hubby had acted early. 

Later, Amy messaged me and asked if I was really dating the big boss. 

Embarrassed, I sent her a puppy nodding emoji. 

This time, the entire HR department erupted. 

Whenever they saw me, they urged me to return early. 

Don’t forget me when you’re rich. 

I nodded solemnly, letting everyone see hope. 

Especially my mentor, Mr. Johnson. He was deeply emotional and kept praising me as his pride and lucky star. 

I accepted the first two words. 

I only understood the last two when I saw at the end of the 

month that Mr. Johnson had been promoted to HR Deputy 

Manager. 

I thought I would stay this happy forever. 

Until one day after work, Charlotte blocked me at the company 

entrance. 

She said I was just an ordinary girl from a small family, someone Old Mr. Locke and Mrs. Locke would never approve 

1. of. She told me to give up on becoming Locke. She also said Zachary was only playing with me, and once the novelty 

wore off, he would turn back. She was the future Mrs. Locke. 

Jealousy really did blind people. 

When Charlotte saw that I had little reaction, she froze for a 

few seconds, then began attacking me even more viciously 

with words. 

I patiently listened to her finish, then smiled without warmth. 

“If you’re that capable, make him marry you. What’s the point of saying all this to me?” 

“You think you have a chance just because Zachary 

transferred me to Africa? Some people reach too high and are born too thin. No matter how hard an ugly duckling tries, it’s still an ugly duckling. It will never become a swan.” 

Charlotte’s features grew more and more twisted, completely losing the bright beauty she had before. 

I slapped away the finger she was waving in my face, then brushed off my six–figure designer dress and said: 

“Do you know why I’m dressed so formally today? Because my future in–laws are having dinner with my parents to discuss our marriage. So as long as an ugly duckling works hard, it can 

still spread its wings and fly. For no other reason than the fact that it was a swan all along.” 

Charlotte stared at me in disbelief, her lips trembling as she kept saying I was lying. 

Just then, Zachary’s Maybach drove up from the underground garage and urged me to get in. 

“Did Charlotte come to bother you again?” 

His tone was certain. 

“Mm. She said I reach too high and am born too thin. She said an ugly duckling will always be an ugly duckling and can never become a swan. She also said she’s the future Mrs. Locke, and I’m just your comfort food for temporary amusement.” 

My dear hubby fell silent for a long while. 

Then he suddenly laughed. 

He reached out, rubbed my head, and said he’d have her pack 

her things and roll back to her father tomorrow. 

Half a month later, that giant, high–priced custom 

engagement ring was on my hand. 

At the end of the year, Zachary and I held a grand wedding on a private island. 

That was the happiest day of my life. 

At the beginning of the next year, HR’s Ms. Taylor moved to Australia, and I really did take the senior HR specialist 

position. My salary doubled. 

Not a single person in the company was jealous of me. Everyone praised me for being grounded and willing to start 

from the basics. 

A year later, I became pregnant and still insisted on working. 

Zachary was afraid I would get tired, so he transferred me back to the Executive Office and had me handle team building with Mr. Wang. 

Later, I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and stayed quiet at home for two years. 

When I returned to the workplace, with the help of my HR 

friends, I quickly got familiar with the business again and found my footing. 

Five years later, I was promoted to HR Director and became the true head of the department. 

Department Head Lincoln was transferred to Silicon Valley as 

General Manager. 

At night, I stood in front of my office window and looked down at the brilliant neon lights and endless traffic below, thinking back on everything that had happened. 

My feelings were complicated. 

Actually, I was very ordinary. 

The reason I had an extraordinary life was because I met an 

extraordinary man. 

He was not only my husband, but also the most important benefactor in my life. 

I had to sigh. 

In life, hard work matters. 

But sometimes, you also need a little luck.
