  Perry gave him a small tight smile and replied. "Thank you."

  Marco signed the contract minutes later. "I look forward to doing business with Tech Trek. Please do me the favour of passing my best regards to your father, Chairperson Moore." He said to Perry and extended his hand for a handshake.

  Perry took his extended hand in a handshake after signing his end of the deal. "I will contact you when we need our first supply."

  "We'll be expecting you. It was nice doing business with you, once again and I hope in future endeavours business will be handled just as smoothly."

  "We hope so too. And it was nice doing business with you."

  Marco left with his lawyer and assistant, not quite long after, but not after thanking Autumn again countless times.

  Sawyer put the papers together in a file and handed them over to Perry. "I trust you know what to do with this, boss."

  "Yes, Sawyer." He retrieved the papers from his hands and stored them away.

      As soon as he left and Perry was about to return to his office, he noticed that Autumn was standing, and she looked lost. "Are you okay?" He asked her with raised eyebrows.  "Uhm, yeah," she replied quickly and sat on her chair.  "Are you sure you are?"  "Yes, sir. I'm very fine."  Perry didn't have that. He knew something was wrong with her, but he couldn't fathom what exactly it was.  From the way she was panicking, he could tell that she was bothered about something. And being the nosy boss he was, he decided to push the discussion further.  "If you're fine like you claim you are, why are you panicking?" He asked. Then, he bent over, his face now very close to hers.  Her eyes went wide open in shock as she felt the closeness between her and Perry.  They both stared into each other's eyes without a word, only then did Autumn take note of how beautiful his dark brown eyes were, and his full eyebrows.  She was lost in the beauty of his face and eyes when he spoke, making her

      Autumn did not leave her room and made sure her door was locked until early the next morning.  She rushed out of the house quietly, very early the next morning, to avoid her family members and their questions. She knew she would still tell them eventually, but she just wasn't ready for it yet.  Since she didn't have time to take breakfast at home, she branched at a coffee shop that was very close to their firm. On entering the café, she sighted Jax, who was also having breakfast there.  She planned to act like she didn't see him, but he saw her almost at the same time she did him. So, she had no choice but to go to his table because he motioned for her to come and join him, with his hands.  She got to his table and had her seat opposite him. "Good morning," she greeted.  "Morning to you too, miss," Jax replied while sipping his coffee, but his eyes remained glued to her face. He couldn't help but notice her new look.  "Are you a regular customer here?" She asked him, noting the

      "They'll always gossip and talk. That's what they know how to do best, so you need not be bothered about them," Jax said to her as they both walked side by side.  Heads turned in their direction and some even went as far as pointing their hands at them.  They could hear some of them whispering and asking themselves why both of them arrived together, some of them commented on her new look, her hair and clothes included.  When they got to the elevator that takes them to their separate floors, they bade each other goodbye.  "Thank you once again for the meal," Autumn said to him with a smile and he nodded before they went their separate ways.  She got to the office before Perry, as usual, she tidied the office quickly and touched up her make-up lightly. Just as she finished doing that, the door opened and Perry walked in.  She got up to greet him, and just as he looked at her in the face from where she stood, he was dumbstruck.  A look of shock appeared on his face as she stared

  • MY ACCIDENTAL HUSBAND   CHAPTER 22 Question and Answers

      Autumn scoffed, as that made little to no sense to her. "You could die with that."  He chuckled lightly. "That's the aim, Autumn. While I'm driving, I know I do not want to die yet, so that means I have to take everything off my mind and focus on the road. That way, I get stuff off my mind by driving at full speed." He explained.  She nodded her head slowly, finally understanding what he was talking about. "Wow," she muttered.  "And you? What do you do to get stuff off your mind?"  "Music or books."  "What type of music do you listen to?"  "Sad music." She simply replied.  "Why would a normal human decide to listen to sad music when she's not sad?" He asked, weirdly eyeing her.  "Whatever, that's how I am," she decided to change the topic. "Do you read books?"  "Sometimes."  "Genre of books you read?" She asked and quickly added, "Wait, wait, let me guess."  "Okay?"  "Thriller and mystery novels?" She asked, hoping that she got it since that was the genre most guys loved

      Her eyes suddenly went wide open in the realization of something. "Should I switch my phone off and tomorrow morning, I'll tell her I was kidnapped?" She asked, making Ella foolishly look at her.  "Sometimes, you speak like a fool," Ella replied to her and shook her head.  "Anyways, I'll prepare the colors for your makeup, call your mum and tell her whatever reason you want to, or I'll dial the number for you." She said to her sternly and Autumn nodded her head in response.  She picked up her phone and dialed her mum's number. She picked on the third ring.  "Tell me one reason why you had to leave so early without letting any of us know you're leaving for work already?" Her mother asked after she picked up the call as if she had been waiting to ask her that question.  "Uhm, mum. I'm sorry about that. I had an urgent call this morning, so I had to…"  Her mum cut in. "Or is it because of the question I asked you last night? Look, I'm your mother, and if you have any male figure i

      She was shocked to hear him say that, but then, she scoffed, remembering what he had said earlier.  "You don't mean it, do you? You're only saying it so I won't feel nervous and—"  "No. You look ravishing tonight," he said, using his other hand to move her head to look at him.  "You have no reason to be anxious or nervous, my parents are easygoing people, and they're going to be nice to you, besides, we already practiced every possible question they might ask us. So, it's fine, okay?" He said and squeezed her hand again.  For some reason she didn't understand, she felt better and calmer, she smiled at him as his technique worked, and he released her hand and looked away.  "Thank you," she simply muttered, but he didn't say anything in return.  Autumn took note of the fact that he had a nice side to him, and he was sweet when he wanted to.  She still wanted to know why he doesn't relate with his workers though, because the person she was seeing right now, was far from being a t

      Autumn and Perry looked at each other with eyes wide open. They had forgotten to practice that one important question, and now they were going to get caught.  Perry immediately made a face to Autumn to let him speak first, but she didn't understand. She assumed he was telling her to speak first, so she spoke.  "It was at a restaurant," Autumn said, while Perry replied.  "It was on a rooftop." They both said this at the same time and then turned to look at each other again.  Perry glared at her for speaking when he had motioned to her not to, while Autumn glared at him for speaking when he was the one who told her to speak.  "Which of the two is correct?" Mr. Moore asked with raised eyebrows as he sat up on his chair.  Seeing that it was likely they were going to start getting suspicious soon, Autumn corrected herself immediately.  "We're both correct. He proposed to me on the rooftop of a restaurant," she replied.  Given the look on their faces that seemed like they wanted to

      Autumn was tense, but she managed to smile at Lucy. "Yeah, we'll fix a date for dinner and let you know about it," she replied.  "Yes!" Lucy replied excitedly. "I can't wait!" She added and continued eating her food. The others at the table also continued eating their meals in silence.  Autumn felt like she was being stared at. She looked across the table and saw that Perry was staring at her.  He could see how tense and uncomfortable she had felt when her mum had requested dinner at her house.  For one, her family had no idea she was seeing anyone, not to talk of getting married. Her mum would make a bigger fuss about it if she finds out that the said man is her boss.  Another reason she was scared was their house. How would Perry's parents feel when they see that she's not from a rich family like theirs? She let out a sigh at the thought of this.  "Are you okay?" Kyla asked her when she heard her sigh.  "Yeah, I'm good. Thanks," she muttered with a small smile on her face.

      "Do you not know that she's pregnant already?"  Max chuckled. "I know quite well, and that's why I'm telling you this because her baby is mine and not yours."  Perry paused for a minute and stared at him like he didn't just hear what he said. He scoffed, wondering if he was aware of what he was talking about. "Can you even hear yourself?"  Max smiled. "I know you'd never believe me just by my words, so I made sure to gather my evidence to show you."  "What the heck?" Perry stared at him unbelievably, as he felt his heart beating heavily. "Even if what you're saying is true, why are you telling me now?"  Max let out a sigh. "You might call it selfishness, but my heart hasn't healed from the hurt she put me through. I know your engagement with her is very close, and I don't want to see her happy after everything she did to me."  "And what did she do to you exactly?" Perry asked as he sat up in his seat curiously  "What could she have done that made you despise her so much to com

      "Autumn is my ex-wife!"  "Excuse me?" Gloria responded. She heard him well, but she wanted to believe she didn't. "Autumn is your ex-wife? You married your secretary?" She scoffed.  "Am I good to go now that I've told you?"  "What the… you're serious?" Her eyes opened wide in shock. "Was she also the one at the party the other night?"  "Yes," he simply replied.  Only then did the realization hit her. She knew she had heard that voice before, but she didn't know where it was  She had wondered why his secretary was rude to her the very first time they set eyes on each other, but now she could tell why she had behaved like that to her.  "You dated that thing?" She asked, her face filled with irritation.  "Watch your words, Gloria. I'm not in the best mood at the moment, and you know that" he responded.  "Do you even know how I feel about that at the moment?!" He raised his voice at him. "You claimed to divorce her and now you're coming to pay her bills?"  "Please—"  "Oh, spar

      "Where are you headed?" Perry asked his parents as he looked from Lucy to his dad and back at Lucy  "Gloria and I are here to have a surprise dinner with you," he added, and Gloria simply smiled at them.  Lucy rolled her eyes at him. "That's none of your business. We have somewhere urgent to go," she said and walked past him, but Perry was quick to drag his mum back by the hand. "Perry!" She snapped at him and yanked his hand off her arm.  "Can someone at least tell me what's happening?!" He asked at the top of his voice, while Gloria stood there staring at them.  Mr. Moore checked the time on his wristwatch, and seeing that arguing with Perry would only make them late, he decided to tell him what happened  "Autumn's mother needs to go through an operation and the fee is a little high for her." Perry's eyes went wide open in shock.  "Her sister called us for help, and that's where we're going. Is that okay now?" He then turned to Gloria  "My dear, we won't be available tonight

      Autumn rubbed her hands together anxiously as she awaited the response of the doctor. He cleared his table and sat on his office chair, while she sat opposite him.  "What's going on with her?" She asked him with a look of fear on her face.  The doctor looked at her, then at the paper in his hand, then back at her. He then started to explain his diagnosis.  "She happened to have arrhythmias, heart valve problems, and high blood pressure in her lung arteries, which led to a heart failure that made her collapse."  "Oh my God," Autumn gasped, as she covered her mouth with her hands. Her eyes were teary by now as she stared at the doctor. "Isn't there anything that could be done about it?" She added after a couple of seconds.  "Will she survive it? What do I have to do to make her feel better? Will she get better? She won't die now, will she? Please, be honest with me," she begged with teary eyes as her heart began to beat heavily.  She had arguments with her mother a lot, but she w

      Autumn arrived at Biarritz Tech Company and rushed over to the receptionist's table.  The young lady looked at her with an emotionless face, expecting her to say something since she had no idea who she was or whom she was there to see.  "Good afternoon," Autumn said and stood in front of the receptionist. "I was called a couple of minutes back to come over to this company right away."  "Name?"  "Autumn."  "Autumn?" The receptionist raised her head to look at Autumn again, giving her a disapproving stare. "Do you not have a last name?"  "It's Dax. Autumn Dax."  Confirming that 'Autumn Dax' was on the list of new employees, she gave Autumn a brisk nod. "Go to the office on the last end of the next floor."  "Thank you," Autumn replied with false pleasantness and skipped towards the elevator.  On getting to the next floor's waiting hall, a young lady stepped out of the office directly opposite her and called out, "Autumn Dax."  "Here!" She replied and launched to her feet. The

      A couple of weeks later, Lisa and Olive took a day off from work to see Autumn. When they noticed that she hadn't been coming, they reached out to her.  They were shocked to hear that she had resigned from work. Seeing that there was no other way to see her, they picked a date and decided to meet up at a nearby restaurant.  Autumn arrived there first and ordered a drink while she awaited the arrival of her friends.  The television was on, and it was set to a news channel. She was lost in thought about her search for a new job when someone mentioned Perry's name, which jerked her back to reality.  "Isn't that the billionaire CEO of Trek Tech?" A lady squealed from her seat as she pointed at the tv.  "Omg! It's him! He's getting engaged again!" Another one exclaimed and murmurs aroused in the room.  Autumn managed to listen to the news amidst the murmurs, to know what exactly was happening.  "...and had divorced his ex-wife, whom he didn't mention her name to cover her identity.

      Perry looked at his mum, who was stunned at how he shouted at her. "I'm sorry for raising my voice at you, mum. But I just want you to understand that nobody else has a say in my marriage affairs."  "Your father and I have come to see Autumn as our daughter, and we knew how happy you were and how positively you changed in a couple of things," Lucy replied with a serious but concerned look on her face. "So I don't understand why you should divorce her over—"  "The whole thing was fake!" Perry blurted out, while his parents just stared at him like they had no idea what he was saying.  "Everything was fake from the start, mum. We signed a deal with each other when dad wanted me to get married at all costs."  "Perry Moore!" His father growled as he shot a deadly glare at Perry. "You both deceived us all along?!"  "I've said all I can. I'm off to work," Perry said and walked towards the exit.  "Perry!" His father called, but he didn't turn back. He walked out of the house and slamme

      Becky walked to sit beside Autumn on her bed. She looked tattered and rough, and Becky's heart sank to see her daughter that way. That was the first time she had ever seen her so bedridden over a guy.  "Do you want to talk about it now?" Becky asked her calmly.  Autumn reached for the cupboard next to her bed and picked up some papers on it, then gave her. Becky collected them wondering what it was about.  She went through it and was shocked to see that they were divorce papers. She was even more shocked to see that Autumn had signed her part.  "You signed these?" Her eyes were wide open in shock as she stared at her daughter like she knew not what she was doing.  "I've made up my mind, mum. He sent these papers because he has moved on. I'm ready to do that too," she got up from her bed.  "I'm going to drop the papers at the mailbox, so they can be delivered back to him."  "Are you sure about this? Do you think you're doing the right thing?" Becky asked with a face filled with
