My Bossy CEO Husband

"Did you have dinner with Eris tonight?"

"Yes!" Nellie put the cup on the tea table heavily, making a clinking sound.

"Mom..." Brian became nervous.

"Brian, you disappoint me and your dad!"

"Shut up!"

Nellie waved her hand and looked away from him as though he was no longer there.

"Don't tell me you already forgot what Eris’ role is in our plan."

Brian kept quiet.

From the very beginning, his parents had always been opposed to the idea of him being with Eris.

They even threatened him with an ultimatum to break up with her.

At that time, he still had feelings for Eris, so he hesitated and didn't know what to do.

But before he could make a decision, his father became seriously ill all of a sudden.His parents had asked him to go home before they went abroad.

Their purpose was to get him engaged to Eris.

However, this engagement was only temporary.

It was made as an attempt to stabilize the company's situation.

Once his father came back from the hospital or the company’s situation got better, he would break up with her.

This was also the reason why he only invited Eris’ colleagues but not his relatives and friends.He couldn't officially tell them that he would marry Eris.However, the engagement had to be significant enough in order to win her trust.This was the best way to do it.

"Mom—"

"Enough! We asked you to get engaged to Eris for the company.But now, she's involved in many scandals.This won't help improve our company's image.It will actually make it worse! How could you have dinner with her at such a critical moment? Do you want her scandals to ruin our company?"

Nellie questioned him, her eyes looking stern.
