My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 294: Jealous

‘Odette! Odette again!’ Wendy remembered the strange look in Luke's eyes when he mentioned the
woman, as well as Odette's inexplicable hostility toward her.

She frowned, her heart growing heavy.

‘Didn't Ryan say that he has nothing to do with Odette? Why would Jeffrey say such a thing?’ Wendy
bit her lip.

"Ryan and Odette..."

"Well..."

Jeffrey initially wanted to keep her guessing, but the fire in Wendy's eyes ignited his own jealousy.He
heaved a long sigh.

"Uncle Ryan ordered Glory Media to turn Odette into a star." Wendy's face shifted.

She had heard about Odette before.

Odette had entered the entertainment industry at the age of sixteen and managed to bag the best
actress award a year later.

After that, however, she hadn't been able to land any good projects.

Reviews and feedback of her succeeding work had been bad, each one worse than the last.

Eventually, she had stopped accepting projects altogether and disappeared from public view.She had
stayed silent until her contract with her original agency expired.She had then signed with Glory Media,
but it did nothing for her dwindling fame.She had continued to struggle for the next two years.



Gradually, she didn't have many projects.It wasn't until five years ago that she had finally landed an
excellent role.

The script was good, and her co-stars were all big names in the industry.

This was the big break she had been waiting for, and she successfully turned the opportunity in her
favor.

Since then, she had won the best actress award twice more, which firmly established her footing in the
film circle.‘SO...

it was all thanks to Ryan that Odette became famous again?’ Wendy's heart ached with bitterness.

As far as she knew, Ryan had never been such a generous person.

To put it bluntly, even if a peerless beauty shed her clothes and crawled into his bed, he would simply
shove her to the floor without a second thought.

He would most likely berate her for dirtying his sheets, too.

How could a man like him go out of his way to personally ensure that Odette secured a position in the
show business? 'He told me that he had nothing to do with Odette.Who the hell would believe that?’
Wendy thought sardonically, her mood turning fouler by the second.

She padded barefoot across the carpet and opened the window.

The cold wind blew into the room, making her shiver; yet it cleared her head and calmed her rampaging
emotions.

"Wendy..."

"I'm fine."



Jeffrey was still worried, but he didn't know what more to say at that point.

She looked as pale as death; how could she be fine? He instantly regretted telling her everything, but
there was nothing he could do to take his words back.

Besides, he had initially done it with Wendy's best interests in mind.

She might be smart and clever, but even Jeffrey knew that she couldn't resist the temptation that good-
looking men offered.

Not only was Ryan attractive, he was also cunning.

Jeffrey just didn't want Wendy to be tricked and cheated by Ryan.‘Yes! That's it, exactly! I'm only
worried that he might fool her.This is the only reason I'm doing this! Jeffrey nodded to himself,
reassured by his own reasoning.

"Jeffrey..."

"What is it?"

"I'm sleepy."

"Ah, okay."

Jeffrey scratched his head sheepishly.

"I'm quite exhausted myself.I'll go back to my room and get some rest.See you at the set tomorrow."

Wendy raised a hand and gave him a weak little wave.

As soon as he left, Wendy washed up and brushed her teeth, then did her nightly skincare routine.



By the time she lay on her bed, it was already one in the morning.

She turned off the lights and closed her eyes.But sleep would not come.She tossed and turned and
even counted sheep, but her efforts were all in vain.

All she could think about was that time when Ryan declared his intention of pursuing her again.

"Damn it!"

Wendy sat up on the bed, her brows furrowed with irritation.She grabbed her phone from the
nightstand and stared at her screen.

Another hour had passed.She proceeded to open her call logs.

Ryan hadn't called her, not even once.She then checked her WeChat.

He hadn't sent a message either.

‘Huh! He hasn't even called or texted the whole day! Is this how he should be acting after making that
embarrassing profession?Gritting her teeth, Wendy blocked Ryan's phone number and WeChat
account."

Just wait and see! I won't give you a chance!"

Wendy tossed the phone back on the nightstand and burrowed into her blanket.She closed her eyes
and took a deep breath in an attempt to empty her mind.

To her utter dismay, not even ten seconds had gone by before she began mulling over the matter
again.

‘What the hell is the relationship between Ryan and Odette?Why is Odette so openly hostile to me? Is
it possible that Ryan is having a fling with Odette when he is trying to pursue me? Maybe he is two-



timing us and she finds out...’ "Ah, damn it!" Wendy cursed and sat up in bed again.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

For all she knew, while she wasted her time agonizing over her questions, Ryan might be sleeping
soundly in his corner of the world.

‘Why am I bothering with this in the first place? It's ridiculous and idiotic.Is it really worth losing sleep
over?’ Wendy scratched her head and picked up her phone again.

She rummaged around her WeChat and removed Ryan's account from the blocked list.Then, she typed
a short message, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and sent it.

The message read, "Let me ask you one last time, Ryan.What is your relationship with Odette?!"

On the other hand, Ryan was laying staring at the ceiling in the ward.He wasn't sleepy at all.He had
grown used to having Wendy around.

In the past, even though they weren't in the same room, he could sleep soundly knowing that she was
within his reach.But now, he just couldn't sleep at all.

Ryan flicked the lamp on and picked up his iPad from the bedside table.He might as well do some work
instead of idling the hours away.

Precious was already fast asleep.She lay on her stomach, her arms and legs tucked close, her head
turned sideways.Her plump little face was pressed against the pillow, making her cheek look like a fat
dumpling.

Ryan sighed as he watched her snore softly.He rather envied the girl at that moment.He reached out to
put the quilt over her shoulders, then buried himself with business matters.



Time flew by without his notice.

And then, his phone buzzed.It was his private phone, meaning it was only accessible to those who
were particularly close to him.

Ryan put down his iPad and checked his phone screen.Wendy sent him a message.

"Let me ask you for the last time, Ryan.What's your relationship with Odette?!"

It seemed like she was extremely upset.

Ryan raised his eyebrows.He peeked at the time.It was eight past two in the morning.

‘She's still awake at this hour?’ Ryan's lips curled into a smile as his fingers worked to find her number
and press call.

To his surprise, it wasn't Wendy's voice that greeted him, but an operator's.

"Sorry, the number you are calling is currently unavailable." Ryan frowned.

‘Is she on the phone with someone else? At two o'clock in the morning?’ He waited for a few minutes
before calling her again, but he was met with the same fate.

It took Ryan three more tries before he realized something.He had been added to the blocked list.

Instead of getting angry, he tried to analyze the possible events that had led to this.

Since Wendy sent him this message in the middle of the night, she must be unable to sleep as well.

And judging by the tone of her question, she must have heard the rumors about him and Odette.



Being blacklisted was supposed to be annoying, infuriating even.But Ryan leaned back against the
headboard and let out a hearty chuckle.

‘So Wendy is mad about that.That only means that she cares about me.And most importantly, she's
jealous!’
