A Deal With The Billionaire A Contract Marriage

Chapter 35



Bryan POV.

” There are lot of johs here to work on ” I quickly stretched my body as if I just woke up from a deep sleep, as I wiped my eyes gently with a yawn coming out at almost same time.

I opened up lot of documents with me yawning continuously while I felt so dizzy at that spot

” Bryan, Bryan” I heard my name from outside the office door as I looked up to the door . It was Amelia who worked in without a smile on her face but a face that was filled with lot of suspense . Which made me to stand up with full force with sleep running away from my body .

” What’s it ?” I asked with lot of curiosity as Amelia just bounced herself on top of the chair while she gazed at me.

” What do you mean?” She asked as she just glanced at me with a funny look as I just looked confused at that point.

Her character to me at that point just felt as if she was playing a prank on me but still I Just didn’t understand what she was up to at that point.

” So, why are you here?” I asked looking at her while I just sat down back leaving away my once curious body just flew away.

” First of all I’m tired and want to go back home and secondly I don’t like the idea of keeping Emily at home all alone with the nannies and thirdly” I interrupted get quickly still looking at the documents and not focusing any more on her.

” So, where’s all this coming out from ?” I questioned .

” Wait,” she held up my statement while I just look at her . ” Why asking such a question when I’m actually not done telling you mine” I paused giving get a little chuckle at that point but this time just looking at her .

” Go on” I gave my words like a little instruction with was a compulsory thing for her to follow.

” So, thirdly the so called meeting that was supposed to be held today for a little sweep out wasn’t made ” I made a little shout at that point while she just looked at me with no smile nor frown but a face filled with stress .

Amelia, immediately sucked her teeth while rowing up her eyes gently , still using it to look at me rudely while I concentrated more on the event I scheduled and still didn’t meet to it .

“What do you mean the meeting wasn’t held?” I asked, with a face filled with surprise. “I specifically scheduled it to discuss the Dae account and despite you are my PA and meant to hold the meeting even without me being there”

Amelia sighed and rubbed her temples. “I know, Bryan. But apparently, the team leads decided to postpone it without informing us .”

” Whose the team who asked to postpone the meeting?” I asked looking at her.

” Father” she smiled.

I felt a surge of frustration. “That’s unacceptable. We need to get this project back on track.”

Amelia nodded in agreement. “I know. But there’s more. Amanda’s been acting strange all day, and I think something’s going on with her.”

My mind snapped back to Amelia’s assistant , and a pang just didn’t hit me at that point. “What do you mean? Is she fine?”

Amelia hesitated before speaking. “She’s been getting these mysterious messages on her phone, and she’s been acting really secretive. I think someone might be bothering her.”

“We both need to go meet her then. Now.”

Amelia nodded sympathetically. “I’ll come with you.”

As we rushed out of my office, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was actually wrong with her in her own department.

We quickly made our way to Amanda’s desk, our footsteps echoing through the quiet office. As we approached, I could see Amanda hunched over her phone, her eyes scanning the screen with a mix of fear and anxiety.

“Hey, Amanda, what’s going on?” I asked, trying to sound calm and reassuring.

Amanda looked up, startled, and quickly hid her phone behind her back. “N-nothing, Bryan. Just a personal issue.”

Amelia and I exchanged a skeptical glance. “Amanda, we need to know what’s going on,” Amelia pressed, her voice firm but gentle.

Amanda hesitated, then slowly hid her phone. Amelia and I leaned in to examine the screen, and what we saw made our blood run cold.

The messages were cryptic, but still we didn’t understand ” I need you to help me follow her every single place and I promise You’ll pay for it.”

My mind raced as I tried to process what I was peeping into.” What from who? And what information did this person want? ” My mind raced with his questions gently.

“Amanda, what’s that on your screen?,” I asked, my voice firm as I looked at Amelia. “Let’s go back to my office, Amelia.” I looked to her ” I think this something not that important.

As we walked back to my office, the tension was palpable within myself. I knew that there was something Amanda was hiding from everyone, something that could potentially put someone’s life in danger.

But I was determined to know everything to the bottom of it, no matter what it took from my own side.

We both walked back to the office returning back to our previous position where we stayed but this time I returned back to viewing back the old documents I wasn’t done with.

Amelia yawned, stretching her arms above her head. “I think I’m going to head home, Bryan. I’m exhausted.”

I looked up from the documents, surprised. “What? No, Amelia, it’s not time yet. We still have so much work to do.” I looked up to my wrist watch still giving her the gaze while she just glanced.

Amelia smiled weakly. “I know, but I can’t focus anymore. I’ll come back tomorrow and we can finish everything then and possibly hold our meeting.”

I frowned, feeling a sense of disappointments since I know why she really wanted to leave, not only for her to go relax but her baby that is kept all alone in the house.

Amelia shrugged. “We can deal with it tomorrow, Bryan. I promise. Besides, you look like you could use a break too since your face already looked so tired and skin looks rough.” She chuckled adding the statement.

I sighed, knowing she was right. We had been working non-stop for hours, and my eyes were starting to blur. But I was determined to get to the bottom of things and end up with some work today but still she just wanted to dump all work on me despite she doesn’t come all day to the office since she is still a breast feeding mother that need to care for her baby.

“Fine,” I said reluctantly while I rolled up my eyes. “But just go home and rest. We’ll tackle everything else tomorrow.” After saying this words I just returned back into down all my works still passing through some documents.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Amelia smiled, relief washing over her face. “Thanks, Bryan. I owe you one.”

” You mean hot sex” I smiled to my words.

” You are a prostitute ” she reacted.

As she gathered her things and headed out the door, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. Something was off, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were running out of time.
