Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Mysterious Wife: Bab 141 - Bab 150

It was obvious Henry was between the devil and the deep blue sea. There was Eve on one hand who was mad at him and now Phil. He shifted his gaze to the man kneeling before him.He sat and positioned both his hands on the table, staring down at Phil. "Listen, Phil, I need you to get off that floor.""Please don't take away the job from me." Phil cried out without moving an inch.Henry gave the table a tight slap and yelled. "I said get off that floor." Phil quickly rose to his feet and sat.Henry took his head into his hands. What was going on with him?He stared at Phil for a moment before darting his gaze to the wall. "I'm sorry Phil, I didn't mean to yell at you like that."Phil faked a smile. Henry can even go ahead and hurl insults at him. All he wanted was to keep the job and wouldn't mind rolling on the floor like a nagging child to remain employed."I don't even know what to do." Henry pondered out loud with his gaze fixed on the file before him. If he had known that things w

Henry gave his forehead a delicate scrape and took steps to the table. "I chose Phil because...""Because you feel he's going to do a better job than me?" she fired with anger in her voice."That's not the bone of contention Eve. I want Phil to come with me because I don't want to stress you," replied Henry.Eve broke into a dry laugh. "Are you kidding me? Do I look stressed to you?" Henry sighed. "Trust me, Eve, I want the best for you." he maintained. "Take it from the boss Eve. He wants the best for you." Phil commented and cast his gaze to the floor. He knew the remark was going to attract another glare from Eve.She gave a long hiss and threw her back against the chair. "The best for me indeed.""It's a three-hour meeting Eve and judging by your condition, I'll advise you remain here while Phil attends the meeting."Eve sat up and raised a brow. "Condition?"She wondered why Henry was making it sound as if she was in a delicate condition and needed to be monitored."I came to w

Phil stood before her with his palms wide open. "Do you need anything?"She said nothing but kept marveling at the level of his concern."I don't need anything," she replied and pulled her bag to herself."Okay!" Phil replied and moved to the table.Henry stood before her with a quirked brow. "Are you sure you don't need anything? Maybe some painkillers?""I'm good." she maintained."Are you sure?""My muscles are just cramped and soon, I'll regain my balance and besides, I'm feeling good already," Eve replied."Okay," Henry said and began rolling down his sleeve."Thank you," Eve said.Henry lifted his head and saw her smiling at him. "Thank you sir and thank you and Phil," Phil flashed a grin. "You're welcome." He wanted to taunt her for violating the boss's decision but he remained shut.Henry took the words out of Phil's mouth. "This was the reason why I insisted you remained in the office while Phil handles the report. It was a long meeting and I doubted whether you could cope.

Eve loitered around the hallway for several minutes before finally getting into her office. She had just returned from the cafeteria.It's been three hours since Henry's wife arrived at the company and she didn't see her leave the office.She fixed her gaze down the hallway, hoping to see the woman walk out of Henry's office but no one was forthcoming. With a frustrated sigh, she gave the door a push and walked in.She was certain that Henry didn't step out of his office from the moment she crossed paths with his wife. What were they up to? Having lunch or a quickie?She's his wife for heaven's sake Eve's mind reminded her. Why was she bothered by the fact that the couple was taking forever to come out and to crown to her agitation, Henry didn't send for either Phil or her.It meant he was busy with his wife.He must be so over the moon being with his wife that he didn't discharge any responsibilities to them throughout the day.Eve began collecting the items which she had littered on

Eve went on nodding like a lizard. "I see"He tucked both his hands inside his pockets, looked Eve straight in the face and decided to go with the flow. "You see, Mira and I understand each other perfectly so there's nothing to worry about," he assured Eve.Eve gave her forehead a delicate scrape and felt that it was stupid of her to advise Henry on how to go about dealing with his wife.Henry read her gesture and decided to carry on. "People who don't understand the relationship I share with my wife think I'm the kind of husband that relegates his wife to the background and tries to suppress her but since we both understand each other, Mira complains about nothing." he lied.Eve lifted her head with a forced grin. She was convinced that she really stepped outside her line. "And you should see Mira dishing out instructions to me." he continued with his voice speaking of exuberance.Eve turned away with a sigh. Now he was going to tell her about his wife? Why did she even caution him
