Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1281-1290

At that moment, the door of the elevator opened to reveal a group of hotel employees waiting outside after their lunch break. They had witnessed how intimate their abstinent boss was with a woman in public.

Queenie was so embarrassed that she hurriedly covered her face and allowed the man to lead her out. She felt that people wouldn’t recognize her if she covered her face.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Mason,” the group of staff greeted.

“Carry on with your work!” Nigel showed no sign of embarrassment as opposed to Queenie. He waved his hand coolly in return to his employees while leading her to the door.

Soon, whispers of discussion sounded behind them.

She raised her head and warned, “Mr. Mason, don’t kiss me in front of the public anymore, alright? Even if you want to, do it when there’s no one around!”

Narrowing his eyes, he questioned, “Does that mean I can kiss you as much as I want when there is no one around?”

Queenie was dumbfounded.

“Fine! That is one way to understand it. Anyway, I no longer want to be seen kissing you in public.”

She still cared about her reputation.

“Okay.” Nigel went along with her request.

Queenie thereafter allowed him to drive her car as they drove to a nearby shopping mall.

Going to the mall was probably the happiest activity for couples. They could buy whatever they wanted while being accompanied by someone.

As soon as Queenie entered the mall, her footsteps became lighter. It was natural for women to enjoy shopping.

When they walked into a women’s clothing store, she looked around for work attire and found a suit she liked. Hence, she went to the fitting room to try them on. When she came out, her demeanor instantly changed from the daughter of a wealthy family to a smart and professional businesswoman.

Her body assets that were hidden beneath her usual attires were accentuated at this very moment. The midi skirt wrapped around her graceful figure and exposed her slim and flawless legs. She definitely had enviable body proportions.

Nigel, who was looking from the side, secretly gulped. He didn’t even know he had a kink for his girlfriend in uniform!

“Do I look good in these?”

“No. You don’t,” he denied. If she wore that to the office, wouldn’t it be a feast to the eyes of his male employees? Nope, he wasn’t going to allow that.

“I like it, though! Besides, this outfit fits me just fine. What are you not satisfied with?” Queenie had other thoughts. Moreover, she liked the material of the clothes.

“Too sexy. It’s not suitable for work. Change into another one,” Nigel commented without beating around the bush.

Hearing what he said, she could only change her outfit. However, he gradually noticed that she looked good in everything, so he stopped making remarks and went to a few more shops to look around. After getting four sets of clothes, the two were quite exhausted, so they stopped by a cafe for a break.

Queenie was so worn out that she leaned in his arms and closed her eyes for a moment. Unexpectedly, a quick eye shut turned into a nap. Nigel immediately turned into a pillow for her to catch a comfortable nap. When she opened her eyes again, she realized that half an hour had passed!

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Queenie rubbed her sleepy eyes and questioned.

“I couldn’t bear to wake you up when you slept so soundly.” In an attempt to tidy her messy hair, his hands sifted through her long locks. Feeling her silky hair, he couldn’t help resting his hand on her hair before playing with the strands.

After a nap, she felt more energetic, so the two shopped around for a little while again. She then insisted on buying him some clothes, which left Nigel with no choice but to comply and pick two sets of suits. They eventually shopped until 4.30PM, but he couldn’t send her home since he had to attend another meeting at night.

Queenie felt bad for occupying so much of his time because she had once seen his schedule and knew he was preoccupied with meetings all day.

“Drive safe and call me once you arrive home,” Nigel ordered.

Nodding, she replied, “Okay. I got it.”

After watching her car blend into the traffic, he turned around and returned to the company. Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from his mother, so he answered it. “Hi, Mom.”

“Nigel, free up your time tomorrow night. I want to take you to dinner.”

“What restaurant, Mom?”

“It’s a secret for now. Anyway, just free up your time tomorrow after 5.00PM, alright?” reminded Brenda.

“Okay! I’ll free up my time,” he answered.

“Has work been hectic?”

“It’s fine. I can handle it.”

“Come home for dinner when you’re free. It’s been two weeks since we last saw you,” Brenda complained.

Nigel was slightly taken aback by his mother’s statement. He recalled meeting Queenie the last time he went home for dinner. He thought he and Queenie had known each other for a long time, but he didn’t expect it to be only two weeks!

Was that how love at first sight felt?

Some people he met in life might not be acquainted with him for long, but it seemed like they were destined to be the most important person in his life. It was as if his abstinence after all these years was for her to appear in his life one day.

“That’s all. I’ll call you again tomorrow night.” Brenda hung up after the call.

The corners of Nigel’s lips curved upward. Tomorrow night, he would tell his parents something they would be delighted to hear.

In Silverstein Residence, Queenie, who was carrying a few bags of clothes, bumped into Bonnie, Maggie, and her good friend, Lisbeth, who were having afternoon tea.

Bonnie stared at her shopping bags and felt jealousy arousing in her heart. Did Queenie get her work attire ready already?

“Hello, Aunt Lisbeth.” After placing the clothes down, Queenie took a seat at the table beside the balcony.

“You’re getting more and more beautiful, Queenie! You’ve always been pretty since you were young!” Lisbeth praised.

“No, silly. She looks like any ordinary girl!” Brenda smiled. In her heart, she knew how beautiful her daughter was, but she didn’t dare to agree since Lisbeth wasn’t living a good life right now. She tried to avoid showing off her children in front of Lisbeth because the latter’s son had been arrested for gambling and wasn’t going to be released until a few years later.

“What about me, Aunt Lisbeth? Am I pretty?” Holding her teacup, Bonnie purposely tossed the question at her.

In response, Lisbeth smiled at her and replied, “Of course, you are. You and Queenie are equally beautiful!”

“Thanks, Aunt Lisbeth.” Bonnie smiled in satisfaction.

Maggie smiled upon hearing that. When Bonnie first found them, Lisbeth was with her. While she marveled at the return of her second daughter, Lisbeth firmly told her not to be rash and that she had to do a DNA test before making sure she was truly her daughter. Lisbeth even introduced her to a renowned DNA testing center.

Due to that, Maggie had worried that Lisbeth might not like her second daughter!

“Queenie, I see you bought a lot of clothes! These brands must not be cheap!” Bonnie deliberately exclaimed.

Hearing that, Maggie inquired, “Why did you suddenly buy so many clothes, Queenie?”

“These are all work attire, Mom. I’ll need them when I go to work,” Queenie explained.

“You’re so capable, Queenie. You’re qualified to work at Dad’s office, unlike me, who didn’t receive a proper education. I can’t help out in the slightest to this household and am only a hindrance to the family.” After saying that, Bonnie sighed with her head low.

Maggie immediately held her hand reassuringly, “Bonnie, don’t say that. You are as important as Queenie in our hearts. We’re happy that you managed to return to us safe and sound.”

Lisbeth was also secretly observing Maggie’s reaction. Seeing how bad Maggie felt for Bonnie, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

“I’m going back to my room now, Mom.” Queenie excused herself.

Once she went out, it was almost time for Lisbeth to leave as well, so Bonnie got up and volunteered, “Mom, let me send Aunt Lisbeth off.”

“Sure. Go ahead!”

“This child is filial and obedient,” Lisbeth praised Bonnie at the right time.

Smiling in return, Maggie agreed, “Yeah! Bonnie is a good girl.”

“It’s my fault for overthinking back then,” Lisbeth apologized.

“Don’t worry about it.” Maggie patted her shoulder in reassurance.
