Anna’s POV:“Both of you met yesterday!” Charlotte exclaimed. I thought Smith would lie but he didn’t. Now, Charlotte would suspect us and make it easier to find out our relationship.“I got a call that she had been admitted in the hospital. She seemed to have collapsed on the way due to stress and exhaustion. They had to reach her family and when they learned that she was coming to work, they called me since she saved my contact as ‘boss’…” Smith said calmly. I was so shocked with the way he dropped that lie. I now had to follow up.“Really? You should have told us. We were also worried when you didn’t come back until the day ended, boss,” Charlotte said. She seemed to care about me with the way she slurred her words.“I know, right?” I stepped in to the issue. “Boss is a caring man and he actually waited for me to regain consciousness. I have no one, you know. No friends and my family are not nearby. He even got his driver to take me home!”Charlotte smiled happily. I watched as she
Anna’s POV“He caught her?!” I asked in a loud voice. My heart was racing at this point. The realization of this made me feel bad. I didn’t care that it was before he met me.“He did!” Charlotte replied. “It was after a meeting and I don’t know why boss had been observing her. He was staring at her back though I do not know what he was looking at exactly. It could be her back, her hair, her legs, or her butt!”I felt angered.“He couldn’t have been staring at her flat ass!” I exclaimed in anger.“He could have…” Charlotte replied. “Men are men and they would always be men. When that gender is hard, they don’t care. Beautiful or ugly. Slim, fat or chubby. Tall, short, or a dwarf. Curvy or straight. As long as you are a female, they are good to go!”“I don’t believe that. They should have preferences…” I said shortly.“Elena has always been attractive!” Charlotte told me confidently. “She don’t have a flat ass. There is still some flesh there. It is not bony and you know it.”“When I sa
Anna's POV “Oh, I understand…” Charlotte rushed and held my hand. “You can leave at any time, okay? Let's just go clubbing! The thing is that it starts officially by eight. That's when the real party begins!” “I will think about it but I'm gonna leave for now. The meeting will start soon so you should go to put things in place as well…” I told her carefully. This was how I was set free from Charlotte's hook for now. I would have to tell Smith if I wanted to go clubbing. It was not a choice for me. It was compulsory since he was my husband. I decided not to talk about what I had learned about Smith and Elena for now. It was in the past so it didn't matter but I would still tease Smith about it once I found out the whole truth. I prepared for the meeting since we had been told the time already. I saw Elena earlier. She said ‘hi’ before I did so I guess she had forgotten about what I did to her the day before yesterday. It was nice to let things go actually. Some minutes before the
Anna's POVThe door opened and my bodyguard, William, stepped in. He was dressed in a very nice suit. “Hello, My name is William and I am the new intern!” I heard him say. I was caught unaware here. I had even forgotten that he was supposed to get to the office before I did. I could see Charlotte smiling sheepishly at him. She held me and whispered into my ears. “He is handsome and my heart tells he has a very nice build. Don't you think he will be single?” Charlotte whispered in my ears. This made me smile. “What if he has a girlfriend already?” I whispered back. “Then I will have to steal him!” She replied. Smith caught us and we had to compose ourselves. It was like the normal activity. All of us had to introduce ourselves like we did when I just joined the team. William took his seat beside Alexander who explained the mission we had. His role was suppose to assist all of us. Charlotte kept looking at him in admiration. I could only shake my head. “Anna, I would like you to t
Anna’s POV“I have thought about it truly…” I told her shortly. “Let’s have dinner after work. I will make the decision after we have eaten and you have told me all I need to know.”Charlotte ran to me and held my hand. She was smiling sheepishly here. She acts childish at times and I was already aware.“You know I am very great at convincing people. You have gone with me already. Don’t think about any other thing. I won’t ask you some questions here because I am afraid you will cancel. However, you need to change or shall we go shopping? We can’t wear these dresses. The only way this would work is if we both go home and change…” Charlotte said shortly.“I am not interested in wearing short and skimpy clothes…” I told her confidently. Even if I was not claiming this, I was still a married woman. Smith won’t like me flaunting my body to other men.“I am sure you have no such clothes as well…” Charlotte said carefully. “Let’s just drive to my house. I will change and I can even lend you
Smith’s POVAfter Anna had stepped out of my office, I began to think. She had chosen Charlotte over me and this was bad enough. I was not happy at all but I knew I had to try my best not to show it. If I loved her like I supposed, I should sacrifice my personal satisfaction for her happiness. She might be unhappy even if she went with me. It was better she went clubbing even though I disliked it. I wanted her to be with me and no other person.But I had made a crucial choice and that was to let her be. Like she said, we could postpone it to another weekend for sure even though I wanted it now. There was nothing I could do since it was fixed now.------------We closed from work and everyone proceeded to go home. Anna had told me what she wanted to do so I just drove home. I made sure to tell William not to reveal himself for now. Since he would be following Andy to protect Anna, he had to be careful not to be caught. Charlotte was very smart and it would take her nothing to connect t
Anna’s POVI had a hard time selecting a restaurant to take Charlotte to. For the first time, I was going to spend my money. I have been dependent on Smith since and I didn’t even use up the pocket money he gives me. I had been saving up to buy him something as well. My plan was to wait for my monthly salary and then surprise him. Anyways, I finally chose Splezi restaurant and I drove there. Charlotte was not a foodie and she ordered sparsely. I was the same as well. She talked so much with her mouth but enough food went in there.“So, let me tell you about my boss and Elena…” Charlotte said slowly. “It is better I say it now before we both go to the club and get drunk and high.”“You are getting ‘high’ alone, girl. I will be driving and I don’t plan on getting a bit drunk. Just tell me the story…” I replied. Charlotte smiled at me and started.“After that fainting incident, they seemed to have bonded. Boss didn’t come back to work on that day. It seemed she waited for her to get bett
Anna’s POVI was busted.I never imagined something like this would happen to me. If Dan truly told Smith that he brought me to a restaurant, he would be here in no time. Smith was a jealous man and he wouldn’t be able to take it at all.I thought about what to do now. Charlotte had found out I had a husband which was enough of a crisis. It would not be funny if she finds out that it is Smith whom she knew as her boss. She was talkative and it would mean that every other person would know about the secret.I knew Andy would be in a car there. I had to call Smith and explain things to him. If he revealed himself, it would make things wild. I tried to go out but Dan held me back.In that split second, the restaurant’s main door opened and Smith came inside. His aura was everything. I bit my lip now since the whole secret has been exposed. He walked up to me and separated my hand from Dan’s own.“I told you that I was…” Dan was saying but Smith didn’t let him complete the statement. He p
