The Billionaire's Contracted Wife [English]

She smiled at first before she responded. "Tan, how would I not know where you at when I could hear someone saying... "Mr. President!" Therefore, it could only mean that you’re having a meeting with the President of the United States of America. Now in regards to the Oval Office, I merely guessed, and I was right. Hahaha! I couldn’t believe that I hit the bullseye with just one arrow." She happily said. He could hear the tenderness in her voice, and it made him missed her more.

"Alright! I got it that you’re so smart. That’s why I’m so in love with you! Nevertheless, I need to get back to my meeting before they kick me out of the Oval Office. See you soon, love! Take care, tsup-tsup-tsup!" He didn’t bother waiting for her reply and quickly turned off the phone.

He saw President Grant’s was saying something to him; that’s why he quickly hangs up to give him his undivided attention.

"Hahaha! You didn’t have to hang up. I was only asking if you were speaking to your wife? Is she on her way here?" President Grant was saying with a smile on his lips. He’s glad that he could be of help to the couple to be reunited quickly.

"Hahaha! I’m sorry! I wasn’t sure what you were saying. Therefore, I quickly hang up the phone to give you my undivided attention. If I knew, I would have continued on until she went on board the plane." He banters, but he meant what he said. If only he knew, he would have stayed on the line until she boarded the plane.

President Grant understood what he meant. Therefore, " Gentlemen, I need a little break, why don’t we take a couple of minutes and get a breather, then we will resume." He announced to everyone in the Oval Office as he got up and walked over the window to look outside and stare at the breathtaking view outside the Oval Office.

One by one, everyone inside the Oval Office walks out of the room. Tanaga quickly bid his goodbye and went straight to the men’s room. Once he was inside, he went straight to one of the vacant stool. He took out his phone and made a facetime call to his wife.

While he was waiting for it to connect, he keeps on praying. "Answer the call, my sweet love. I don’t have much time, in a minute or so... I will need to get back to this boring meeting. Come on! Answer the darn call!" He was mumbling while tapping his finger on the screen of his phone.

A moment later, his beautiful wife’s face was on the screen of his phone. He was over the moon, smiling widely. The dimples on his cheeks were heavily indented, and Ashley loved it. However, she was lost as to how he was able to make a facetime call?

"Sweetheart! How?" Was all she utters while confused. She decided to humor him a little.

"Only the great Mr. Jones could do such a thing. You have guts for sure! The President must really like you for him to let you make a facetime call. Aren’t you special?’ She banters while grinning from ear to ear.

"It’s me! You’re husband! He even stopped the meeting for a moment just so I could make a facetime call with you." He brags while eyes were twinkle like a star.

He was going to continue saying something when the contour of his face suddenly changed. His eyes were shooting dagger while looking straight right behind Ashley.

She saw his facial feature and turned around to see what he was looking at? That’s when she saw Alden Sanches was seating right behind her. The camera angle was showing the area directly behind her, and that’s how Tanaga saw when Alden Sanches sat down.

Good thing that she saw Tanaga’s feature and turned around to look. Since her back was facing Alden, he didn’t see her at all. Her heart began palpitations, but she didn’t’ let Tanaga see this on her face.

Tanaga was about to say something when he heard someone from the outside calling him. There was nothing he could but cut the call short and hang up. But before he hung up the phone, "Love, if he doesn’t greet you first, can you not talk to him? Please!" Begged Tanaga, his face showing obvious jealousy, which her two eyes saw as bright as the daylight.

"Of course! I’ll see you soon, ok!" Ashley said as she hurriedly turned off the phone without waiting for Tanaga’s reply. Luckily she had already turned off the phone when Alden approached her, who was still not sure what he was seeing.

"Ashley! Is it really you? Wow! It is you! How are you doing?" Alden asked while he couldn’t believe that she was in front of him.

What more surprising was the way she looks, she looks so different from the first time he had met her at the mall. Back then... he couldn’t put the word in his mouth. Then now, she looks so sophisticated. He’s astonished to the maximum level.

Ashley stood up, dusted an imaginary speck of dust. Before, "Alden! How are you? I can’t believe this, you are the last person I expect to see at the airport... But here we are." Ashley said as she smiled timidly while obviously wondering what she should do.

"You’re right, the situation is amusing. As I was on my way here, you were in my mind. Then all of a sudden, I saw you. This is amazing!" He smiled softly while his eyes were assessing her clothing.

’The dress she’s wearing looks like it’s specially designed for her. The Handbags with matching shoes were brand names; her makeup is simply done, but anyone could tell that it’s professional work. Lastly, her hair is beautifully styled. What does it mean?’

He thought while trying to decide if he should invite himself and sit at the same table with her or go back to where he was before. After contemplating for a moment, he found the courage and invited himself to Ashley’s table.

"Why don’t we sit down while we are waiting for our flight?" He said before pulling a chair and preparing to sit down.

Ashley was restless and unable to sit back down. She’s worried because she knew at any time Tiny could come. How could she explain it? She decided to pretend that she needs to use the ladies.

"Alden, please! Excuse me for a moment. I need to use the ladies’ room, you know!" She quickly left to find Tiny.

Alden, on the other hand, could do nothing but scratches his head as he followed gaze at her trying to figure out where she’s heading.

While he was watching her every move, he was mumbling to himself. "I wonder why every time we run into each other, she’s always in a rush to go to the ladies’ room? Then suddenly she would disappear like a bubble. I really need to have a word with her." When he realized that she might disappear again, he swiftly got up to follow her.

However, when he was about to approach her, he saw that Ashley was speaking to someone. Therefore, he decided to stand still a distance away and give them privacy.

"Brother Tiny, what am I going to do? I have an acquaintance from a long time ago that I just run into a moment ago. He’s currently waiting for my return, and I don’t really want to associate myself with him. What should I do?" She’s obviously concerned with the tone of her voice and the look in her eyes.

"Ma’am, Ashley! Is there a problem with this acquaintance of yours? So what if he’s waiting for your return, just go back. What’s the big deal?" Said Tiny while wondering why she’s so nervous?

He would soon find out!
