Looking at David's stern face, Ella believed he was telling the truth. A man who does not casually go to bed with anyone does not have sex unless he is married. Ella thought that if any girl became David's wife, she would be very lucky.
"Tomorrow I'll drive you to the hospital so you can visit your father, then go home to get some clothes. I'll ask Key to deliver your luggage to my house."
Wherever David said, Ella nodded. Suddenly remembering something, she asked. "What about you telling me that I'm an employee in your company. You lied like that, what should I do?"
David calmly said. "Make the lie true. I need a secretary, please be my secretary."
"Really? Will I get a job?"
"I don't say two words."
Ella changed the subject. "Your mother is a bit difficult, she doesn't seem to like me. But Rika is very cute."
"Be patient. After a while, she will accept you, as long as you do everything you can." David looked at her with a serious face.
"I can walk around the house freely, okay?" Ella asked.
"Of course. Now everyone in the house thinks you're my wife. In your free time, you can go shopping with Rika or do whatever you want." David tapped his fingers on the table.
At first, Ella thought the 'marriage contract' offer to David was crazy, but it's actually not that bad. She has money for her father's surgery, she finds a job. However, a million dollars is too big. She told herself that she would do a good job of being a wife to deserve the money, or else she would be indebted to David.
The next morning, Ella woke up and looked over to the sofa but didn't see David. Perhaps he exercises or goes for a run. Rich people often have such a habit.
Ella cleaned herself up, changed into Rika's pink dress, and went to the dining room. As soon as she entered, she saw her father and mother-in-law sitting at the table on the right. Rika sat on the left. The food has just been served. Ella bowed to them and pulled a chair next to Rika.
Mrs. Emma started to cause trouble. "You just got up at this hour? You are the niece-in-law in the family but you keep us waiting. You don't know what a wife is supposed to do? You have to get up early, and prepare breakfast for family members, understand?"
"We have no shortage of housekeepers, let them do it. Why should Ella do it?" Rika defends Ella.
"You shut up. I'm teaching your sister-in-law." Mrs. Emma glanced at Rika.
David entered the kitchen door. He was wearing sports clothes, with a scarf around his neck. He said looking at his watch and said. "It's only six-thirty, our family still eats breakfast at this time every day. That way, Ella doesn't get up late. Besides, Grandpa hasn't come down yet, mom."
"You mean I'm talking nonsense? I can't educate my daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Emma said in a grumpy voice.
"I didn't mean that. I was just..." Before David finished his sentence, Ella was secretly pulling on his shirt.
"I'm sorry. I'll pay more attention next time." Ella bowed her head and said.
Mrs. Emma just glared at Ella, as a warning. She didn't say anything.
Moments later, Mr. Harry came and sat in the middle of the table. When everyone was present, they enjoyed breakfast in silence, no one said a word to anyone. It was Anthony's family rule that while eating, no talking was allowed. Ella felt the air suffocating. She worked hard to eat without picking up food. Seeing that, David put the food in her bowl of rice.
After eating, Mr. Harry called David and Ella into his private room. He told Ella. "You know, David is the boss of D&A Group. His job is very busy, he has to often go on business trips and meet male or female customers. I hope you will not notice these things. such a small matter and don't get jealous. A wife needs to stand behind her husband to support him in all circumstances. Share and sympathize. You know what I mean, Ella?" Mr. Harry asked in a serious tone.
"And this too, I wish I could have grandchildren to carry." Mr. Harry smiled at Ella and David.
Ella swallowed. "Yes, we will try... to have... a boy or a girl."
"Yes, grandpa. We'll make you happy." David smiled as he looked at Ella's face. She knew it was a wry smile.
"You two can go out, I want to rest." Mr. Harry said.
Ella walked down the stairs to the second floor, lowering her voice. "What should we do about pregnancy?"
David thought for a moment, then answered. "I don't think Grandpa won't rush. He knows I'm busy. If he asks again, you can use an excuse to answer it casually."
"I know." Ella nodded.
"Now let's go to the hospital." David said and joined Ella at the door.
Mrs. Emma stood inside, looked at them, and told the woman next to her was Sophie - Anthony's housekeeper. "Let's investigate that girl. All the information, I want to know what kind of person she is."
"Yes, madam. But why would you want to investigate the master's wife?" Sophie wondered.
"I feel like there's something wrong with the two of them. Last night, when David introduced Ella, there was a bit of awkwardness between them. How can a couple be so awkward?"
Sophie performed the task that Mrs. Emma asked.
The Nissan stopped in front of the hospital gate. Before Ella got out of the car, David explained every detail. "After visiting your father, take a taxi home to pack your clothes and put them in your suitcase. When you're done, give me a call. I'll have Key come and deliver your luggage to Anthony's house. You're staying here today. with your father. Starting next Monday, you can go to work."
"I know." Ella said and opened the door to get out of the car. She walked through the hospital gate.
A few nurses saw Ella get out of the famous billionaire's car X city, they whispered among themselves.
"How did a girl like her get to know the billionaire Anthony?"
"He's the heir to the Anthony family. He's so handsome."
"Hey, you're married. Your husband will get jealous if you look at him with passionate eyes."
"Sorry, but my husband isn't here right now."
Ella didn't care about those words. Either way, her making David's wife was just a no-brainer. After the three-year period ends, she and he will break up, and no longer have anything to do with each other.
Ella opened the door of Mr. Stephen and gently entered. Still, the sound of her footsteps woke him up."Ella, you're here." Mr. Stephen said, sitting up."Dad, how are you?" Ella walked over and sat on the edge of the bed."I'm fine. I'm sorry to make you worry.""Dad don't say that, taking care of you is my duty."“I am your burden, right?” Mr. Stephen patted Ella's hand, his voice a little sad."No. I am lucky to be your daughter.”Ella's phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at it softly. "I'm out on the phone for a while, I'll be back soon." She said and walked out of the room."Wazzup? We just said goodbye for a few minutes.” Ella said politely. Although she is not the daughter of a noble family, she was raised from a young age to be polite when talking to others."I just wanted to say if you need anything, just tell me, I'm here to help." David said, he just arrived at the company."Thank. But the money you gave me was enough for me to take care of everything.” Ella said
David didn't care about the eyes around him, he took Ella's hand and led him to a quiet, luxury room. Ella was overwhelmed when she saw the menu. The food is very expensive, even more, expensive than the salary she gets for a month.Looking at her expression, David understood what she was worried about. He lowered his voice. "Never mind the price. I'll be the one to pay."Ella chooses the cheapest item on the menu. Wait for the waiter to leave, she said. "This is not a matter of who pays, but a matter of savings. Just a breakfast for a few hundred thousand, I feel a bit wasteful. Next time I will take you to a popular restaurant with reasonable prices. The quality is not inferior to the dishes in the restaurant." "You intrigued me. I'd love to know where that is." David smiled as he spoke."I will lead you to the future." Ella said.The waiters bring the food. They ate and talked.After eating, they went to the company. Today is Ella's first day working at D&A corporation. She could
"Hi, nice to meet you." Ella tries to act like a friendly person. She doesn't have many friends except for Suzy, she lives a closed life so she communicates badly while talking."Ella, how did you meet my brother?" Rika asked, blinking excitedly."We ran into each other in the hospital. After that, we kept in touch until we decided to get married later." This is true, Ella didn't lie.Rika was dumbfounded when she heard what Ella said. The story of Ella and David's meeting was too bland. How did they decide to get married when there was no romance between them?"It's strange. My brother is dry and rigid, what is attractive about him? Handsome or rich?" Rika asked and looked at Ella's reaction."He's very good, knows how to help others." Ella said what she had in mind. Even though the two of them are just contracted husband and wife, she is still grateful to David for saving her father. This is a partnership where both sides benefit. Even though he's in the same room, he doesn't touch
The next morning, Ella woke up to a bright ray of sunlight from the balcony shining into her eyes.She turned her head to look to the left, the pillow was empty. She suddenly remembered that today was Sunday, the staff was off, but David had an important client meeting so he went to work early in the morning.Ella got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Naughty in the water, she brought her hand to her lips. David's kiss was still lingering around her lips.After showering, Ella sat on the bed texting David. 'Today is off, what should I do?'After a while, the phone screen lit up. David sent a reply message. 'Please do what you want.'She replied immediately. “Okay.”She picked up her bag and walked out of the room. She had just left, Sophie opened the door and removed the camera, and went to Mrs. Emma. She opened it and with Mrs. Emma pinched her head to watch.After watching the video, Mrs. Emma and Sophie looked at each other.“They actually slept together. That means they truly l
Ella to the largest luxury shopping center in the city. She walked around the mall. Her eyes blinked when she saw a price list at a clothing stall. Most of the items here cost more than five hundred dollars. She looked regretfully. She's not a fancy dress girl, so she just buys some cheap clothes. She just wears what she can afford and is comfortable with. Style doesn't matter to her. She did not forget to buy apple pie for Mr. Harry.At checkout, Ella had no change. She struggled to find change in her wallet. The people behind her urging her on made her even more confused.Suddenly, a hand landed on the counter at the cashier with a change of bills accompanied by a voice. "I pay for her."Ella turned her head to look. The one who helps her is Raymond.Leaving the counter, Ella said in an appreciative voice. "Thank you. It's too embarrassing to let you help me.""Nothing. We're colleagues after all." Raymond said with a smile on his lips."Yes."A reporter saw them and took a picture
After having dinner with the whole family, David and Ella asked permission to go back to their room.She sat on the sofa watching him do his work at the table. Then she opened the phone and made a schedule. Although she is David's secretary, her work is not much, she has a lot of free time, so she wants to do something to be active, such as learning to cook, learning the piano, practicing yoga or aerobics…David raised his head, his eyebrows raised when he saw Ella seem very focused on the phone. he asked softly. “What are you going to do, Ella?”Ella put the phone down on the table. “I need to do something for tomorrow. I need to exercise, my brain will go numb if I don't do anything every day." She spoke nonchalantly and reached for a document on David's desk.“Um.” David continues to work, he focuses on computers. Ella walked over and sat across from him.“Stop worrying. I will make a good wife who can be your support in the future.” Ella opened the document, going through the page
“Missing lady, you shouldn't do this kind of work. If Mr. Harry, I'll be in trouble." A maid said as she saw Ella stirring eggs in a bowl."It's okay, I can do it." Ella said, while the maid arranged the dishes and decorated the plates with salad.Ella made egg-fried rice for her and David. She garnished the rice with chili, carrots, sausage, and onions. She arranged it beautifully.With the other members, she makes hot dog toast with a recipe she made up herself. She put all the dishes on the table, just as everyone entered the dining room one by one.All the maids bowed in unison to them.As usual, Mr. Harry sat in the middle of the table. A maid who was also his close servant whispered something in his ear. After listening, Mr. Harry nodded, smiling at Ella. “Is it because you cooked breakfast?”“I only cooked a few dishes for me and David, because I don't know your tastes.” Ella politely replied.“Today I want to try the food you made.” Mr. Harry took a piece of hot dog and popped
At David's corporate building, he is busy with files and documents that need his signature.The phone screen suddenly lit up with a beep sound. He glanced over and picked it up. He reached out and stroked a straight line. Message from Maria. 'I'll be back tomorrow, nine in the morning. You remember to pick me up at the airport.'He exhaled and replied. 'Ok.'David continues to work but he is not focused. He thought of Ella and called her, but she didn't pick up. Because Ella's phone was in her bag while she was learning Samba dancing.So, David texted Ella. 'What are you doing?'Ella didn't know the phone was ringing and there was a message. She practiced hard. At five o'clock in the afternoon, she and Rika stopped practicing. They took a taxi back to the villa before dinner time at six o'clock.When she took her phone out of her bag, Ella realized that there were two missed calls and a text message from David.She dialed David's number.With just one ring, David answered the phone an
