Semua Bab One Night Stand With The Billionaire : Bab 11 - Bab 17

After a few hours, Cassian and I finished dinner. So far, so good, the food at the restaurant was delicious.I kept my head down because I couldn't handle the judging glances of some people inside the restaurant."You're my wife, so you should walk with confidence. If you're thinking about your social standing, well, that doesn't matter to someone like me, Mrs. Smith.""I'm so sorry. I just can't help but feel shy whenever I'm with you. You know people know who I am, right? I don't belong in your circle, so it's expected that some people will have judging looks," I responded to Cassian.I just heard Cassian's deep sigh. I was getting butterflies because he was helping me walk to the exit of the restaurant and to his car.When we reached Cassian's car, I wasn't expecting him to open the door for me."Go ahead, get in," Cassian said, his face still serious. "I need to do this to show them that they need to respect my wife, just like I did for you today.""Thank you, Cassian." I shyly go

I've been staring at my phone, unsure whether to call the stranger or not.Thankfully, Cassian let me work.I finally decided to call, the stranger. The other line picked up after a long wait."You called?" a deep voice asked."Yes, I wanted to meet you. I have something to tell you."Looking at the clock, I realized it was already 11:30, time for lunch.I heard the intercom just as I accidentally hung up. Then I heard Cassian's voice."In my office," he said.From my swivel chair, I stood up and headed to Cassian's office. We'd made a habit of eating lunch together in his office.I knocked before entering. "Come in."I opened the door and smiled. Cassian seemed different lately. Before, he was so aloof, but now he seemed kind.I found Cassian on the phone, engrossed in a conversation."You're on the phone," I remarked."It's the woman who caught my eye last month. She wants to meet, and I'm excited to see her."My brow furrowed. That was exactly what I'd planned to do with the strang

After our meeting with Mr. Cheng, Cassian and I went back to his office at the Delaware building.“Thank you. You’ve really proven yourself worthy of being my secretary,” Cassian said.I was surprised to hear him compliment me.“Thank you,” I replied, unable to make eye contact.Cassian’s serious demeanor returned, making me feel a bit awkward. I watched as he walked into his office.Back in my own office, I had a stack of work to catch up on. I sat down, leaned back in my chair, and sighed deeply.Then the phone started ringing – one call after another.I looked up and saw a tall, attractive woman walking towards my office. The glass door allowed me to see everything. She knocked before entering.“Yes, come in, ma’am,” I said.“Thank you,” she replied, pushing the door open. I noticed her eyebrow raise as she glanced at me.“You must be the gold-digger secretary of Mr. Roberto Smith,” she said, with a hint of disgust in her voice. “Now you’re Cassian’s secretary and wife? I can’t bel

The doctor finally released me to go home after a day in the hospital. She emphasized the importance of avoiding stress, as it was the trigger for my fainting spell. Mom and Celestina were there to help me settle back in."It's good to have you home," Celestina said."Cassian?" I asked."Mr. Smith hasn't been home for a few days, ma'am," Celestina replied.Mom and I exchanged a worried look. "Let Cassian be," Mom said.I sighed deeply. We slowly walked up the grand staircase of the house."Take it slow," Mom reminded me. It felt strange. Knowing Cassian was gone brought a wave of sadness."Mom, can you find out where Cassian is? I'm really worried about him," I confessed.Mom stared at me intently. "Don't tell me you're falling for Cassian?" Her eyes widened with surprise."I don't know, Mom. Maybe it's just guilt. It's not easy to ruin Cassian's reputation and the Delaware company because of someone like me, someone so careless.""Don't say that. It's me who's hurting, Eli. Remember,
