Contract Marriage by Ashleh Queen (new reading .TXT) 📖

Though he was expecting Alicia from last fifteen mins she was still not here. And now, he was losing his patience. But then his secretary called to inform him that Alicia, Chris, and Monica are here to see him.

What? He thought. It was not every day that she brought any company with her.

He let them in. All of them were wearing long robes. They just left their shooting and came here to check on him.

"Why the hell on the earth you left the shooting? I am the one paying for it. I wasn't fucking dying here that you people came running."

Three of them were very famous models having millions of followers but Alex was the one with the power of making them or destroying them in the industry.

The silence ruled until his office phone buzzed.

"Yes," He shouted in his receiver. 
"Sir, someone is here," Some woman said with quite a hesitation.

"Who?" He growled. 
"Your wife, she said she brought you lunch."

"She said, what?" He asked astonished.

"She said she is Mrs. Black and that she brought you lunch." She said with hesitation but when she didn't get any response she continued.

"If you say I can deal with her....." He cut her secretary saying "Escort her to my office, personally." He said piquing the interest in the audience he had.

Not so later after his call ended his office door opened revealing Jane in a cocktail dress with a lunch box.

She looked a little taken aback with the company he had but then her gaze was held by an old familiar face.

"Chris," She whispered. 
"Jane? Jane Anderson?" He said like he was trying to confirm.

"Wow, you look pretty," Chris said but then their little moment was disturbed by Alex's voice.

"Hey, hon, you know him?"

Jane saw Alex coming to her and the next thing she felt was his mouth on her lips to give a small peck. She blinked twice and looked at Alex who surprisingly looked so happy. Is he not mad anymore? She thought as she felt his hand on her lower back.

"Yea, we were school mates," Jane said the words looking at Alex. Still wondering why is he smiling?

"Yea," Chris replied. 
"What are you doing here in L.A? We should meet up" Chris continued.

"She is my wife here in L.A, this is what she is doing and the last time I checked you got a very tight schedule." Alex almost shouted but Alex always shouted so it didn't matter. Those three people had their eyes wide open. They need some time to let this thing sink in, that Alex was not offering when he said.

"What will you three take to leave a newlywed couple alone?" He questioned.

Alicia walks to Alex and giving him a hug she said, "Congrats, Mr. Black, I wish you to have a happy married life."

She didn't spare a glance to Jane but that didn't affect Jane at all. Her point of worries changed in a matter of seconds. If Chris new that she is married this news can reach to her hometown. She noticed them leaving but still didn't know what to do with the situation.

"Why did you tell them?" Jane asked. 
"Were you two in a relationship?" Alex asked.

"Because that was the truth," Alex replied. 
"No," Jane replied.

Silence prevailed. But then Alex took the Lunch box from her hand and called for a secretary. Giving that box to her secretary he ordered her to set the table for them in his private room. His secretary disappeared and he hugged Jane from the back. Inhaling her scent he let his hands roam as he sensually whispered in her ear.

"So, my wife was trying to make it up to me?"

"What if my family came to know about this?" She asked him.

"What! Why do we care?" He asked her and turned her to face him. She was in another zone. He placed his hands on her waist and tried to relax her.

"You tell Chris. What if he tells his parents and then his parents tell my parents....." She stopped0 to take a breathe in, as he tried to think what's really going on.

"OMG, he calls me Anderson. He doesn't know about me getting divorced. What he would be thinking about me?" She freaked out.

"Look at me, Jane." He said but she was still looking at the door as her chest heaved.

"LOOK AT ME," He screamed and she jumped.

"You are Mrs. Black. You do anything but be afraid of someone except me. Not even your Parents and no fucking Chris." He nods his head all the time as he said these words

She blankly stared at him.

"Are we clear?" He asked and she nods. 
"But,..." Jane tried to reason when he cut her off with his lips on her mouth.

She stumbles back but then holding his arms she balanced herself. He pulled away and whispered on her lips. "You are very lucky."

Some lines caressed her head and he said, "nothing,"

The secretary called him once the food was served and he took Jane to his private room.

The food was indeed tasty. He didn't spare her a single glance but couldn't stop guessing in his mind about the scenarios she might be thinking when she was making this food. She might be very cautious and careful that everything turns out to be good so I don't get mad. And yea, Man she earned it.

And it seems so funny that how he was planning to make her and Alicia jealous but things turned out to be so different. She is indeed very lucky.
