The Billionaire's Contracted Wife [English]

Ashley was about to ask Tanaga about it, when ... * Knock-knock-knock! * Someone came knocking on the door. Suddenly Tanaga turned around and sat up straight. "Come-in!" He said to the person knocking at the door.

"Sir! The first aid kit! The head secretary said if you still need us, we will be outside." Said the junior secretary that Mr. Sato send. He didn’t want to be the one disturbing the couple just in case they were lovey-dovey.

"It’s my pleasure! Ma’am!" Replies the junior secretary, and at the same time, she bowed and stepped out towards the door while walking backward without looking at Ashley in her eyes.

Ashley didn’t notice that suddenly the lock on Tanaga’s office door clicked. There was an automatic remote control, which was in Tanaga’s hand in, and he quickly pushed it once his junior secretary came out of his office.

Ashley was busy with the first aid kit looking for something to use while Tanaga watches over his wife. As he watched her, he thought genuinely. ’Would you hurt me if I gave you my heart? Will you love me back, as much as the love I will provide to you? How can I believe that you genuinely love me and not my wealth? Tanaga asked himself, instead of Ashley.

Ashley finally found the ointment that she needed to use to get rid of the bruises. First, she wiped the side of Tanaga’s lips where there’s still dried blood to sanitized it then dubbed some ointment.

She was very serious about what she was doing, so Ashley didn’t notice that Tanaga was gazing at the lips that she ’s been biting as she rubbed Tanaga’s mouth with alcohol pads. Then she heard him speak mischievously.

"Ashley, I have a remedy that can handle the bruise more easily," Tanaga said, still staring at Ashley’s lips like he wanted to bite it himself.

"What?" Ashley asked casually as she continued her treatment on Tanaga’s lips.

Instead of answering his wife’s question... Ashley was surprised when Tanaga suddenly grabbed both of her cheeks and raised her face almost to his.

Then ... they locked lips. "Here! This is the best remedy that I’m speaking about!" Tanaga’s replied with a grin on his handsome face while kissing her sensually.

Ashley was stunned and unable to move, it caught her off guard, and it took a while before everything registered in her mind...

Meanwhile, in the office of Grandma Hanada’s second son, the President of the company. Grandma Hanada can’t sit still because Ashley isn’t there yet. She already called his grandson Koji Hanada the COO of the company, to introduce Ashley and to tell him that she will be his assistant.

"Where could that girl be?" Grandma Hanada whispered to herself as she looked at the door. Her son noticed it and couldn’t stand it and asked. "Mother, who are you waiting for that you have been looking at the door?"

Grandma Hanada could do anything but tell her son the truth about why she keeps looking at the door. "You see, I have recommended a kind child. She currently lives with me and in the needs of a job.

I thought of giving her to Koji since this kid is smart and has a degree in Business Management. I know that when your workaholic child meets her, he will be forced to replace his current assistant if he has one right now. You never know it might help him even more." Said grandmother Hanada to her son with a smile plastered on her face.

"But, mother! You do know that Koji doesn’t like a woman as his assistant. You know how serious he is when it comes to his work. He doesn’t want his cousin Tanaga to be able to say that he only plays around with women just like his younger brother Kai." Explained President Hanada to his mother.

"I know! I Know! But this is different, leave it to me. Alright! Let me tell you a little secret... This girl has something to do with Tanaga. Do you know what I mean? Now, they are not in good terms right now, and I want Tanaga to get jealous, so he would realize how important this person is in his life. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?" Asked grandmother Hanada her eye bulging out of the socket due to her excitement.

President Hanada only shook his head. "I don’t know if Koji would go along with your plotting mother. I don’t care to get involved. Especially if it has something to do withy your demon grandson." President Hanana sternly told his mother with a smirked on his face.

He’s still bitter with what his mother did, giving the CEO position to Tanaga instead of him. Only because Tanaga’s father was the oldest, when he passed away, she gave it to the son. Meanwhile, he’s only a President, and his sons hold lower positions in the company.

He also knew that someday when the older lady retires, Tanaga would get the Chairman’s position instead of him. That’s why he’s upset and hated Tanaga’s guts. He would do everything in his power to get rid of him... Even if it means doing the same thing as what he did to his older brother.

While they were waiting for Ashley to arrive, President Hanada got into thinking, and if it works, he might be able to get rid of that demon Tanaga for good. ’I could use this girl to tar his reputations through the board of directors. When that happens, they could ask him to step down, and I could take over. That’s right! That’s what I’m going to do. I need to figure something out before this girl arrived.’ He was thinking while smiling like a demon himself.

A moment later, the assistant came and whispered to President Hanada. "Sir, you have a visitor. It’s a woman, and she said she has an appointment." Said the assistant while waiting for his reply.

"Go ahead, let her in!" Replied President Hanada whose also excited to meet the woman that his mother was speaking about.

She could hear the assistant telling someone, ’Good day, ma’am! You may go ahead and go on in, and they are waiting for you." Before opening the door to let the person inside the office.

Grandmother Hanada was excited, and her white teeth were showing. ’Finally, I thought my plan was not going to happen, and Tanaga accepted Ashley to be his assistant. It a good thing that he didn’t. Hahaha! Let see if you don’t die of jealousy.

I know you’re already falling for Ashley, and the only reason you’re holding it in is that you’re afraid to get your heartbroken. However, let’s see if you could handle Ashley being away from you and the woman you love work for someone else. Grandmother Hanada thought while she’s waiting for Ashley to come in.

"Good day, President Hanada! Oh,’ and grandmother Hanada, you’re here as well. Good day to you too!" Ohani Yamaguchi said sweetly with a big grin plastered in her well-made face.
