Anna’s POVSaying that my heart skipped a beat was an understatement. My heart lept so hard and I was so flustered. Nothing like this has happened to me in my life. I felt betrayed with the manner which Smith put me on the spot like this. We didn’t talk about revealing our relationship and he did it without consulting me at all.“Smith…” I muttered. Everyone turned towards me. I could feel even Charlotte and William’s eyes on me even though we were discussing via the phone. This made me so flustered.“It is enough reason now, right?” Smith asked them with a smile on his face. “It was a month since I married Anna that she became my secretary. She wanted to learn about business and I proposed that she learn it firsthand from a billionaire like me. That sounds fantastic, doesn’t it?”No one talked for some time. Eventually, Charlotte broke the silence over the phone.“I was going to use it against you but you have let me have no cards again, boss. I guess I will really have a reduction i
Anna’s POV“That’s odd!” Smith exclaimed as he drove. “Of all things, what would you need a security company for? There are other things you could ask for that I would grant without stress. You are a lady, darling. I can put you in charge of our fashion department. Work on skincare products and jewelries. I would give you the showrooms and malls we own as well. That should make you a multimillionaire instantly.”“I don’t need that…” I replied coldly. “I know it is very odd truly but I have a reason to do this. I am not a fashionista and I put on only light makeup. I love my natural look and I do not fancy jewelry as well. A person like me who knows nothing about fashion can’t become the director. Moreover, I wanted to have something from scratch!”Smith thought for a while and I kept silent. He needed this time in order to make his decision. I waited for him, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to deny me what I wanted. This was the kind of person he was. He lingered around the one he lo
Anna’s POV“A security company! I think that is a very shocking development. Did Mr. Smith urge you to do that?” Andy asked me carefully.“It is my own will and that is why I need to build the foundations by myself. All Smith would do is to help in the financing. I will become the CEO of that company and I would give him returns from the money we would make after,” I told him shortly. Andy did not seem convinced about this.“I have known you for a short time but I can still tell that you are not doing this for the money. Your husband is a billionaire and he is caring and kind. He provides for you well enough and you don’t need more money obviously,” Andy told me calmly.“You are very right!” I replied. “I am still doing it for the money I would get from it but the main reason is to acquire intelligence. I have thought about services I would offer and I think I would be involved in a lot of dirty jobs. On the surface, I would do something more. My plan is to be involved in putting up
Anna’s POVSmith slept before me at night and he woke up before me in the morning. When I woke up, he had placed a cup of tea and a cup of water on the table at our bedside. The wall clock read ten minutes to seven. Smith must still be inside, probably in the bathroom right now. He would have given me good morning kisses, but I didn’t know, of course.I stood up and stretched my body. I walked out of the room and the butler was walking around at that time.“You are awake, miss,” he told me and took his eyes off me like he had seen the face of an armed robber. “Your button is off. I can see a bit of your chest.”Saying this, the old butler left instantly. I did the buttons properly but I let it go. He was old and he couldn’t have dirty thoughts towards me. Like I thought, Smith was in the bathroom. I brushed my teeth in a separate bathroom and I also bathed there. When I had already dried my body with a towel and worn my clothes, I stepped outside and Smith was right at the dinner, hav
Anna’s POVI shook my head in unbelief.“Say the truth, Smith. Are you really so obsessed with me or are you just pretending?” I asked him calmly. This was not a serious question but I would have appreciated truly if he gave me a proper answer.“You are all I desire, darling…” Smith told me specially. “I have all the material things I need. Just keep yourself save and give me no reason to worry. Trust me, that would be the greatest gift you could give me. Also, I will be glad if you can grant a wish of mine.”“What is it about?” I asked inquisitively. Before he talked, I noticed how he hesitated a bit. It seemed he would be raising a sensitive issue. I paid rapt attention to everything he said after.“About Charlotte and the fact that she is in a secret organization…” Smith said calmly.“How do you know about that?” I asked him hastily. No one apart from me and my bodyguards would have known about this. There had to be a leak from somewhere.“I didn’t sleep before you did yesterday,”
Anna’s POV“I expected to get sacked actually…” I said calmly. “I can’t be the CEO of the security company and still serve as your secretary.”“I helped you do the sacking. You don’t need to go through the stress of writing a resignation letter,” Smith told me specially. “How about we talk about your progress so far? Have you found a building to use? Something big, obviously …”“The former JSS company…” I said carefully. “I learned the company went bankrupt and they put it up for sale. I already talked with an agent and I will be seeing the building for myself today. If I am satisfied, I will send the charges to you so we can get it paid for. We will move in instantly as well. I would need Jamie with me. I know he is the team leader in charge of the office security but still, I need him.”“You can have him but brace yourself to pay his salary. If you refuse to pay his salary, then I will make him my spy,” Smith told me jokingly. This got me laughing but I had it in mind. “I will send
Anna’s POVI smiled. In most situations, money could solve everything. He was claiming he would finish it up in five days if I could add a million dollars. This would be part of the unplanned expenditure.“If you finish it in five days, are you sure there will be no problems?” I asked him carefully.“You have no reason to worry…” he told me simply. “Our company has always been the best for this kind of job. As long as there would be more money involved, we are always ready to make extra commitment. We are going to cut out nine whole days for you.”“I would give two hundred thousand. A million dollars is not something that could be dropped easily. I would give you that amount so finish up in five days and count it as a tip!” I told him firmly.“Roger that!” the specialist replied over the phone.“Then I’ll send the address…” I replied sharply.-----------------The building was paid for and work began instantly. I was going to work with another branch of Smith’s company which sent peo
Emily’s POV“It has been a long time since we met. Have you been doing well, Dan?” I asked him calmly, with a smile on my face. He smiled back at me and gestured for me to sit down. I smiled once more, gazing at him more intently than ever.“I have been working the shadows, chasing after two rats!” Dan exclaimed. “Smith and Anna are quite deeper than I have thought. Both of them won’t be broken randomly. If we wish to end their relationship, we will need to go the extreme.”“I want Smith for myself…” I replied honestly. “I have kept a watch on him and from my spy in their mansion, both of them are in love. We need to separate them in order to get each down. Anna needs Smith and if she is torn apart from him, she would never be able to survive.”“Keep it on the low. This bar has frequenters from different places,” Dan told me simply. He took a deep breath and continued. “I have thought about our previous deal but it seems I am getting the short stick even though I am the top contributo
