Anna’s POVFrom the way he had reacted, I knew he wanted to tell me something very important. I did not oppose when he claimed he wanted to see me. I had got to work the moment I got to the office. I didn’t even know where my workspace would be. However, before I entered Smith’s office, there was an office there. Charlotte, as the personal assistant, used that place. Well, she needed to be close to him.I entered his office and he closed the door. He made sure he locked it because of intruders.“The walls are soundproof. We are safe to say whatever here,” he told me carefully. He went to his seat while I sat on the chair opposite him. The first thing I did was to rest my head on his table. I was acting exhausted from the meeting I had with the employees.“It is so tiring!” I exclaimed.“It is what you wanted, darling…” Smith said calmly. “You could have been a pretty housewife who spends her time reading books and knitting sweaters for the family. Well, you wanted to be wild and indep

Anna’s POVThis was a very big decision for me. I had the best of the best bodyguards in the world with me but it would lay in my hands to pick someone who would stand by me in life and death. It had to be somebody worthy. Such a person had to be ready to die for me and with me as the circumstances allowed.“I guess you are having a hard time. Would you like to tap into my inner intelligence? I am wiser than you can imagine…” the manager told me shortly. I was determined to wave this off. I would not be influenced by whatever he said.“I think this has to do with me more than with you!” I exclaimed. “I will make a befitting decision so just stand down and watch me.”“Do it your way,” the manager replied. I could visibly tell that he felt bad by how I was counting him out of such a fun activity. I simply smiled and decided to make him feel good.“Tell me who I should eliminate first among all four of them. I need to eliminate two, you know…” I said to him carefully. I could see him smi

Anna’s POV“I don’t like the look on your face,” I told him calmly. “You should know me enough to understand that I joke about almost everything in the world. Normally, I ought to…”“Shh!” he pushed me against the wall. “You can joke about everything apart from that. I am a jealous man. I do not want to share you with any fucking person!”I smiled. I loved his act of roughness once in a while. He was truly a dream man. Rough and gentle. Cute and handsome. Lazy and hardworking. He could be a lot of things depending on the situation.“It’s cozy in here,” I told him slowly. I wrapped my hands around his neck and looked into his eyes.“Have you ever had sex in the office?” he asked me plainly.I punched him carefully on his shoulder. He moved back instantly, gripping his shoulder. It would hurt him a little but I knew he would be fine.“It is my first day in the office and you want to have SEX!” I exclaimed. I shouted the word ‘sex’ like it was something abnormal. That same moment, someon

Anna’s POVI thought it was one of our playful fights but Smith seemed to have taken it serious. I have always made jokes about ‘killing’ and both of us knew this so well. His sarcastic reply to me was not something I could take.“Should people blame me if I kill you right now, Smith?” I asked him playfully. I said it so comically. I was about to laugh when I said this.His reply could strip metal.“So you can marry your bodyguard, huh!” he exclaimed. This sounded too serious for my liking. Smith was annoyed about what I said earlier. That should be the only reason for this absurd behavior.I knew I was supposed to talk him out of his illusion but I just refused to do it. He ought to know that I liked making jokes about muscular men. This was not the first time. If he could not understand that it was a joke, I was not ready to do more. I would act like it didn’t matter as well.And that was how both of us slept. We didn’t cuddle today, our backs were turned against each other.-------

Anna's POV“What do you mean, miss?” William asked me carefully. “How would the hospital help in this situation? You were about to get a pay cut when you just joined the company yesterday. You are not on good terms with Mr. Smith as well. You should just go to work before it's too late. He might be your husband but I sense he would like a professional relationship at times.”“I know,” I replied coldly. “I can't continue to be like this with Smith. It's killing me and even though I have punched this sandbag like my life depends on it, it has not gone away completely. Until he holds me tightly with me feeling safe in his arms, this might never work out!” “You always have a plan, I guess,” Andy said slowly. “Today is the first time we are going out with you. I will protect your interests surely. But when did this begin with Mr. Smith? It must have been so long!” “It has been since yesterday's night!” I exclaimed. “We have never been apart for so long. I am afraid he will ask for a divo
