Chapter 3

“What do you think,” Edward asked the girl sitting next to him.

“Unbelievable. A company of Escape’s stature has such an amazingly fun idea and delivery. That woman seems very professional. But... why is she working under the pressure of such a small company,” Christy said.

Edward turned his attention to Felicia. Felicia was currently presenting the plan made by the Escape company to build a partnership with the Atlanta Company.

Admittedly, Felicia was quite an eye-catcher even for her own husband. She looked different from the Felicia he had only been able to meet secretly or at home.

“I had no idea that my wife was this good,” Edward thought.

“But...” his eyes wandered around, looking at the hungry men who were looking at Felicia with admiration. Edward felt something stirring in the recesses of his heart.

“Edward, you’re fine. So what do you think? I think if this project is handled by Miss Felicia, my father will not hesitate to sign a contract with Atlanta,” Christy explained.

“I’ll decide later,” Edward replied.

“I’ll decide after I give her the punishment for flirting with all the men in this room,” Edward added inwardly.

“That’s all from me, thank you,” Felicia said as she ended her presentation.

Everyone applauded, praising Felicia’s intelligence. Except Edward. Presumably this man didn’t like it when Felicia stole other men’s attention.

Felicia sat back down next to Diana and Mr. Steve. Diana couldn’t wait to whisper her congratulations to Felicia, even though the decision for the winner of this tender was still uncertain.

“Good look!” Diana whispered.

Felicia smiled sweetly at Diana. She didn’t think she was that good.

However, that wasn’t the biggest problem. Felicia had to be on her guard. Because a sharp, cold gaze coming from Edward could kill her in an instant.

“My husband looks creepy today,” Felicia thought to herself.

“Nice presentation,” said a man who suddenly appeared behind Felicia. Felicia had just come out of the restroom.

“Thank you very much, are you one of the participants who submitted the tender?” Felicia asked. Because she didn’t recognize the man.

“Oh, no. Let me introduce you, I’m Diego. I won’t tell you my title here. You just need to know that I was in the room and saw first-hand your presentation. And yes... I am Edward’s younger brother,” the man explained at length.

“Owww, geez!” squealed Felicia.

“Huuuh, don’t tell me that you’re one of Edward’s rabid fans. I’m tired of seeing them every day. They’re capable of doing crazy and outrageous things to get my brother’s attention,” explained the man named Diego.

Felicia wanted to laugh inside. Of course, Felicia didn’t need to be a crazy fan or attract Edward’s attention.

“Oh my, Edward’s sister is waiting for me to come out of the restroom. How do I explain that I’m actually this guy’s sister-in-law,” Felicia muttered to herself.

“Anyway, you don’t have to be afraid. I’m not waiting for you for no reason. I heard that your company also provides event organizer services. Actually, I need a little help from you,” Diego said.

“Ohhh, do you want to organize an important event or party, sir?” asked Felicia excitedly.

“No, not a party. But... it is indeed a very important event. For me,” said the man.

“Ah shit, can’t we talk somewhere else? Talking in front of the ladies’ room is a bit too much fun,” Diego pleaded.

Felicia had almost forgotten that they were still standing in front of the ladies’ room. And if it was true that Diego was Edward’s younger brother, Felicia was also worried that someone might misunderstand or think that there was nepotism between Felicia and one of the people at the Atlanta company. Even if she managed to get the tender for this company.

“I’m very sorry, sir. But I still have to go because...”

“Uhmm, let’s put it this way. This is my business card. When you have some free time, you can call me. There’s no rush,” Diego interrupted, handing over his business card.

“Um, sure. I’ll be in touch soon,” Felicia replied kindly.

Mr. Edward’s unusual luxury car was parked nicely in front of Felicia’s house. The man often changed his vehicle to avoid any rogue journalists who might discover the secret of his marriage to Felicia.

Even so, Felicia could always recognize Edward’s car. Apart from the fact that Edward was the only man who would visit the house, Edward’s cars were always characterized as luxurious and expensive.

Felicia had to get used to Edward’s sudden presence. As soon as she opened the door, he was already sitting casually on the sofa. Waiting for the return of his secret wife.

“It seems I’m so special that I can keep Mr. Edward waiting at home,” Felicia said.

She walked over and sat down next to him. She kissed Edward briefly on the lips, then untied his hair.

“I want you to stop working!” Edward ordered simply.

Felicia looked at Edward in surprise. In the three years they had been in this relationship, this was the first time Edward had brought up Felicia’s job.

“All of a sudden, is there something wrong with you?” Felicia asked.

“My wife is too good at capturing the hearts of men,” Edward said with a cold and flat expression.

“Then what’s the difference with you? Edward, there’s no way I’m quitting my job,” Felicia replied casually.

“Why? Is the money I’ve been giving you not enough? I’ve given you two unlimited cards that you’re free to use. Is that still not enough,” Edward reprimanded.

“Look Edward, our marriage is a contract marriage that can end at any time. I need to be able to secure my position before you file divorce papers,” Felicia replied.

“What if in the end, I don’t want to divorce you?” the man asked.

This time Edward did not remain silent, he looked deeply into Felicia’s clear eyes. For some reason, Edward looked so serious today.

“Then... you should prepare to be poor and swallow a lot of heartache.”

“Can’t you think of anything other than money?” asked Edward.

“Of course I can’t. Because... I know all too well what it’s like to be penniless,” Felicia replied confidently. However, her eyes shone with sadness.

This was exactly what Edward wanted. A submissive mistress that he could work with. A matre woman whom Edward believed could never make him fall in love. But as time went on, for some reason Edward became hesitant. Could it be that there were different feelings he felt towards Felicia.
