The Billionaire's Wife is his Secretary

Ericka took a moment to assess herself in the mirror, satisfied with her appearance for the day. As the executive secretary to the president, she had held this position since her graduation. Her parents, including her father who was once the right-hand man of Señor San Miguel, perished in an accident that left Señor San Miguel disabled. Following the tragedy, he took on the responsibility of her education and placed her in a boarding school, where she graduated with honors. Despite tempting offers from other companies, Ericka chose to stay loyal to the San Miguel family due to a sense of gratitude. Initially thinking she would be the personal assistant to Señor, her fate changed when Monte, Señor's eldest grandson, selected her. There was a mysterious attraction she felt, perhaps stemming from a crush since their school days. Monte had always defended her from bullies, earning him the nickname "popper fish" due to his unique traits.She took another look in the mirror, revealing a st

POV: Ericka"Sir, I think Sir Monte is upset," she paused in devouring shrimp."Just let my grandson be, he's already thirty-two, might be going through menopause," the old man chuckled."You really are quite the joker," she laughed. When it's just her and the old man, she can converse playfully. But in front of others, it's a whole different story. Dealing with an authoritative figure."Alright, go ahead, eat. My grandson might develop veins waiting for you," he chuckled at what he said.After eating, she brushed her teeth and washed her hands before going out. She's annoyed with her braces. It's hard to clean.Before she went out, she pushed the old man's wheelchair into the garden and instructed the gardener to call the nurse if the old man wants to go inside.When she went out, she found Monte with a dark expression again. Like the weight of the world's problems is on his shoulders."Are we leaving, sir?" she called his attention."My car broke down, so we'll use the other one. Ge

POV: MonteHe couldn't stay calm during the meeting. He's worried about Ericka with Almira. His ex's girlfriend is a notorious bully, and Ericka is the type of girl who doesn't fight back even when someone stepped on her. He can't focus on their meeting."Sir San Miguel, are you okay?" Mr. Amado asked."Yeah... I mean yes... yes, I'm alright!" he adjusted his seating."Do you want to reschedule this meeting?"His face suddenly brightened."Really, uncle?" he sought confirmation."I know you, Monte. I can tell if something's bothering you. I saw Almira earlier. That's why I thought you might want to reschedule our meeting.""Thank you, uncle. I'll make it up next time, I just couldn't stay calm. I'll go.""Go ahead, son."He hurriedly left the conference room and practically sprinted to the elevator. It took forever. He kept pressing the up button.Finally, it opened, but it was crowded."It's sir..." people whispered in the elevator.The three men inside exited."Sir, please go ahead.

POV: MonteHe was surprised that this is how the girl has become. In the eight years they've been together, he hasn't seen her speak like that. He couldn't find bad in her character. He was amazed earlier. She's not afraid anymore, unlike before. The day isn't even over, and she already impressed him.The elevator to the penthouse opened. It's very neat. Many times he has come here to rest, but today is different. He was impressed. Everything was in order.He saw his grandfather sitting in a wheelchair, while the nurse rested on the couch on the side."Grandpa," he grabbed his attention.The old man faced him and smiled."Lo," Almira approached and kissed him, "how are you?""Señor," Gov greeted along with his wife."How are you, my future in-laws?" the old man asked with a smile.He winced at what was said. The old man truly believes he will marry Almira."We're good Señor," Miranda replied. "Theres a lot of food.""Let's eat," the Señor said. "Please prepare the table," he ordered t

POV: Monte"Lolo, I'll just talk to someone real quick, be back in a moment," he said to the elderly person."Who are you going to talk to?" the elder asked."Just someone, I'll be gone for a short while,""Alright, take Jeremy with you. What milk tea does Ericka want?""Avocado, please.""Okay, Jeremy, go with Monte to get the milk tea. Buy some for us too. And you, dear, do you want one?""I'll get mine on my own," Monte said, exiting the door ahead."Sir, should I pass it to Miss Ericka?" Jeremy asked."No need, just bring it here,""Alright,"Monte waited for Jeremy outside the elevator. He seemed in a hurry. Monte swiped the key card, and they both entered. He pressed the button for the ground floor."How is Lolo?" he asked Jeremy."There's a significant improvement, sir. I think he'll be able to walk soon," Jeremy replied."Why hasn't he mentioned anything to me?""He wants to surprise you. I'm sorry for spilling the beans. Can we keep it a secret?""Don't worry, i will not tell
