My Substitute CEO Bride

It was 50 minutes past eight.

Skadi drove to the outside of the apartment and, as usual, made a phone call to have Hera come down.

It was not until 9:20 that Hera finally hobbled out of the residential area in her high heels.

Nash followed behind with his hands in his pockets and asked, “Are you sure you don’t want me to take a look at it?”

Due to elevator maintenance, they had to take the stairs, and Hera accidentally sprained her foot in her rush to save time.

“I have an important client to see at 9:30, and I can’t afford to waste any more time!” Hera gritted her teeth and endured the pain.

He smirked and said, “Well, why were you being so slow, then? It took 30 minutes just for you to have breakfast and put on makeup…”

She pouted and did not reply.

It was all because this man had been staring at her while she ate breakfast.

Normally, she would scarf it down to save time, but today, she had to savor each bite.

Plus, he even watched as she applied makeup. When had she ever done makeup in front of a man before?

As they walked out of the residential area, they saw Skadi leaning against the car door in a black leather jacket.

She was wearing sunglasses and had her hair tied back in a ponytail, exuding a heroic and elegant aura.

When she saw Hera and Nash coming out, she lowered her sunglasses and gave Nash a meaningful look.

“Nash Calcraft, don’t you understand how to cherish and protect women? Don’t you know that it’s painful for women when it’s their first time?”

Nash was puzzled. “What first time?”

“Stop pretending!” Skadi stepped forward and helped support Hera. “Hera, do you want to take a day off and rest at home?”

Hera blushed and glared at Skadi. “Stop making things up. I just sprained my foot while going down the stairs!”

“I know, I know. I’ll go buy you some painkillers later!” Skadi acted as if she knew everything there was to know.

Well, it was normal for women to be a little shy.

She refused to believe that nothing had happened when a man and a woman were alone together.

Hera instinctively went to open the passenger door, but Skadi grabbed the door handle and said with a smile, “You should sit in the back now…”

After saying that, she helped open the rear door and forcefully pushed Hera inside.

Nash got into the car from the other side.
