The Billionaire’s Surrogate Wife

In his room, Samuel seemed busy checking the business proposal that Ben had just delivered. While checking them individually, the man also discussed and evaluated the work they were working on.

“The land in the Derawan area is still very green. There are only a few big hotels in Axton. What if we build luxury inns or resorts like in the Maldives but with a cheaper concept? If you look at it from all sides, the view is better. Derawan than the Maldives.”

Axton nodded in agreement. What Samuel said was suitable for their company to execute. After all, his boss has always been right in making a choice.

“Sounds like an interesting idea, sir. If people compete for luxury lodging at fantastic prices, we can make accommodations that are okay and full of facilities, but the price still needs to break the bank. So, even though it’s cheap, the service and facilities are still number one.”

“Yeah, that’s what I meant,” Samuel said. “I want this concept to be finalized. Just schedule this discussion at the meeting. We must execute it as soon as possible before another company takes up the idea.”

Axton then nodded again, then wrote down what Samuel said. Then the two of them got back into serious conversation. It wasn’t long before there was a knock on the room’s door, followed by someone entering, which startled Samuel immediately.

“Mama!”

That afternoon, Arabella stopped by her son’s office without prior notice. I don’t know what the wind suddenly came as if there was something important the woman wanted to convey.

“It’s normal. Don’t be surprised like that,” Arabella replied when she was already sitting on the sofa. Suddenly, Samuel immediately got up from her seat and followed her mother.

“How can you not be surprised? Mom just stopped by the office but didn’t let me know first. What’s wrong, Mom?”

Arabella returned a smile. The woman’s face today looked bright and happy.

“Nothing. Just happened to be passing by, so Mama stopped by because she wanted to invite you to have lunch together.”

Samuel nodded. Bringing his eyes, the man checked the watch on his wrist.

“But break time is almost over, Ma.”

“Yeah, what’s the matter? You’re the leader. You want to leave whenever you can. No one will protest, Ken.”

Samuel shook her head. The man did not agree with what his mother said.

“The problem is, if Samuel is not disciplined, she will set an example for other employees, Ma.”

Arabella sighed lazily. Taking his son out to eat together is challenging since he is taking the leadership position. Even stopping at the house to have dinner together is rare.

“So, you don’t want to accompany Mama to eat?”

Seeing her mother’s face change uncomfortably, Samuel went awry. He did not have the heart to refuse his mother’s invitation. But breaking the rules is also not the right thing.

“Let’s just change for dinner, how about it? Samuel promised, this afternoon, she’ll stop by Mama’s house.”

The sad face that Arabella had previously shown suddenly brightened up. Happy eyes were etched on the woman’s face. Of course, she would not refuse his son’s offer, considering that this was a rare moment when Samuel wanted to stop by and invite him to have dinner together.

“You’re serious, right?”

Samuel nodded confidently.

“Samuel is serious, Ma. Samuel will come home early so she can stop by Mama’s house.”

“In that case, invite Ariana to have dinner together at Mama’s house. I want to be a future daughter-in-law, but we rarely see each other.”

Axton, standing not far from Samuel’s desk, immediately coughed. He didn’t expect that his boss’ mother would even discuss Ariana.

Axton could also guess Samuel must need clarification about how to answer her mother’s request. It was clear when his boss turned to him as if asking for help to find a reason.

“Looks like Ariana can’t, Ma,” Samuel squeaked awkwardly.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Why can’t he? Is he busy?”

“Ariana… I think Ariana really can’t because —-”

Samuel’s sentence immediately stopped when at the same time, there was a knock on the door. As soon as everyone turned their heads, it was clear that the figure of the woman who had been discussed stepped in lightly while flashing an innocent smile.
