All Chapters of Billionaire Contract Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Claire had barely settled down at her desk when her team manager called her over. She rushed up to him, and he just scanned her in silence before saying anything. “For someone who called in sick for a whole week, you look absolutely fine,” he finally said. “I’ve been taking good care of myself so I could recover quickly,” Claire replied. “Don’t think I’ll let this slide just because the CEO’s office informed us,” he continued “The CEO’s office?” Claire asked, surprised. Alex never told her anything about this, and now that she thought about it, she never called in sick herself, which meant he had done everything for her. “Yes. So tell me, are you hooking up with the CEO, or did he pimp you out to an investor?” Claire couldn’t believe her ears. How dare he casually accuse her of something like that? “Nothing of the sort happened,” Claire replied firmly. “You think I don’t know how this works? Why else would the CEO’s office get involved in your matters if you weren’t hooki

Alexander stormed out of his office and strode to the elevator, fury etched on his face. He was seething with anger after what the head of security had told him. He tapped his foot impatiently in the elevator as it descended to the 14th floor. The moment the elevator stopped, he wasted no time getting out and storming into the fire exit. His eyes quickly landed on Charles’s hand wrapped around her wrist, and he clenched his jaw at the sight. Without hesitation, he charged at Charles, grabbed him by the collar, and shoved him against the wall. "How dare you put your hands on my wife!" His eyes burned with fury. "I didn’t know you loved your wife this much, brother," Charles said with a smirk on his face. “You better shut that mouth of yours, or I’ll make sure you won’t be able to use it for a while." "Okay, okay. I was just having a friendly conversation with her. Right?" Charles said, tilting his head to the side to face Claire, who stood behind them, clutching her wrist. "Yeah,

"Charlotte?" Claire and her mum said simultaneously, their voices filled with surprise."Claire? Are you... wait a minute." Charlotte squinted, a slow realization dawning on her face. "You're Mrs. Smith's troublemaker daughter! How did I not realize that earlier?"Claire's jaw clenched, her expression tightening with irritation, but she forced herself to remain silent. Her mum, however, stood up eagerly, a wide smile spreading across her face. "Oh, my goodness! It's been years!" She rushed forward, her eyes lighting up at the sight of Charlotte, the daughter of the family from the last house where she had worked as a maid.“It's been so long, Charlotte! I almost didn’t recognize you," Claire’s mum exclaimed, her face lighting up as she rushed forward and pulled Charlotte into a tight hug.Charlotte stiffened for a moment and rolled her eyes. "Fancy meeting you here... I almost didn’t recognize you either," she said, pulling back and giving Claire's mum a quick up-and-down glance. A sm

Tess proceeded to share how she was Alexander’s former secretary and had tried various tricks and tips to get him into bed with her so she could marry him. However, all her attempts failed, and in the end, she was dismissed from her position and given another role within the company. She was still grateful because he could have fired her completely. "I guess he still has a bit of humanity in him," Claire thought to herself after hearing Tess’s story. "That’s how I know he’ll never look at you, even if you try," Tess concluded with a bright smile. This made Claire wonder what her fate with him would be and made her more determined to keep her job at all costs. Her contract would soon be over, and there was no hope of Alexander ever having a change of heart toward her, not that she wanted him to, or so she thought. On their way back to the office, Claire received a call from Alexander, asking her to come up to his office. She excused herself from Tess and took another elevator to

Claire was flustered, both from the mistake and from how close Alexander was almost naked. "They look the same, that's why I made a mistake," she muttered, trying to slip past him to retrieve her own luggage. But Alexander blocked her way, leaning in even closer.Her breath hitched from how close he was.“What’s wrong? It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve seen me like this,” he teased in a playful voice enjoying her reaction.Claire gulped while looking everywhere except his face. "Yes, it's not the first time, but please make it the last," she replied, trying to maintain her composure.Alexander’s lips curved into a smirk. “I’ll see what I can do,”She quickly rushed past him, grabbed her luggage, and went back to her room. Slamming the door behind her, she placed a hand on her chest, trying to calm her loudly beating heart.She got into the shower, singing as she washed to distract herself from thinking about Alexander’s broad chest and toned abs. She dressed quickly, wanting to
