The Billionaire's Contracted Wife [English]

When Ashley met Sato that morning, she could tell from his smile that he had a fantastic night with Chef Sander.

Their bodyguard had informed her that Sato had arrived at the house with Chef Sander quite early in the morning, making her assume they were now an item. Ashley was truly happy for her assistant and happy that he had finally found the perfect guy.

She whispered to Sato’s ear.

"Seems like someone had a wonderful night last night," she whispered as she passed by him before taking her seat at the breakfast table.

Sato’s face turned a deep scarlet when he heard what Ashley said, but he didn’t say anything about it, only greeting her back.

"Good morning, boss. It’s such a beautiful day, isn’t it?" He asked, averting her gaze since he couldn’t look her in the eye.

He turned his attention to Tanaga.

"Good morning, sir Jones!" He said as he lowered his head, trying to bow without having to get up.

Tanaga curtly nodded, continuing to sip the coffee Ashley had made for him.

Sato followed his greeting to Tanaga by greeting everyone else at the table before finding a spot on the breakfast table and seating himself.

Everyone continued eating their breakfast silently.

The only two people talking were Dr. Garcia and Dr. Green who discussed what would happen next for Tanaga’s treatment. They were reviewing the results of the tests that were done on Tanaga. The next thing they had to do was figure out what serum Dr. Garcia had to create.

It would take about a week to create since they had to do a clinical trial and error. During that week, Tanaga could do whatever he wanted since he didn’t need to be present. All that was needed from him was the funds required to make the serum.

Ashley and Tanaga were listening in to the conversation the whole time, not saying a word. Ashley had a smile on her face, and Tanaga seemed quite hopeful. Ashley was happy that a week was needed to make the serum, making it possible for them to return to Houston for the time being. She liked that it would take a week to make the serum. They could all go back to Houston for the time being while they were waiting.

Once they were finished with breakfast, Tanaga, Ashley, and Sato went with Dr. Garcia and Dr. Green to his home clinic to discuss what needed to be done next.

Dr. Garcia placed a folder on the table for Tanaga and Ashley to read.

He sat back and crossed his arms on his chest as he waited for the couple to read the document.

Tanaga picked up the folder, opening it to read the document inside. He began reading it, Ashley standing right beside him as he did, and it was a contract regarding the funding Dr. Gracia needed to create the serum.

It also stated that if the serum he created for Tanaga worked, and actually healed him, he requested the THJ Group to fund whatever project he wanted to make in the near future.

In turn, the THJ group would own all the rights to any medicine he created, a deal that Tanaga knew he couldn’t refuse.

"Well, this is not that bad of a deal for the THJ group. But I have to inform you that I’ll start with the treatment, which will be funded by my personal money, and if the results are successful, and if I’m cured, I’ll discuss with the board of directors to build a laboratory and start manufacturing this serum for worldwide use. If that’s alright with you, of course," Tanaga said seriously, knowing how serious Dr. Garcia was with this matter.

Dr. Green’s eyes widened. He knew this was the perfect opportunity for him to excel and learn when he had first approached Dr. Garcia, and offered to assist him with Tanaga’s treatment. What Tanaga offered was the icing on the cake. He just needed to make sure that he’s also in the deal.

He cleared his throat before speaking, " Gentlemen if you all don’t mind me butting in, as you all know, I’m very much interested in this project. I’d also like to make some investments in the future if I may when I put it that way, not only my service but the ability to have some of my own shares when the time comes," he said seriously.

Dr. Garcia and Tanaga exchanged a look before saying in unison.

"Deal!"

The trio shook hands, happy with the deal, settling everything.

Sato, who had been listening in to the conversation, would later be tasked to create a contract for the trio to sign, so it was crucial that he had remembered everything that had been said in this conversation.

Ashley, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about the deal made. Instead, she was glad that Dr. Garcia was not greedy, and didn’t ask for too much in return. Her thoughts on him had changed slightly, even though she still knew he was hiding something that they’d, eventually, find out about.

She already spoke with Tanaga, and they had already hired a private investigator to find out what had really happened back then. Fully knowing that once they had concrete evidence, they’d let Mrs. Garcia decide what she wanted to do with her husband. The couple was now giving Dr. Garcia the benefit of the doubt, but they were still suspicious of him nonetheless.

===

Everything was decided. Ashley and Tanaga would fly back to Houston, while Dr. Garcia and Dr. Green would start working on the serum. It’d be a few days later that they’d return for the treatments.

Sato had requested to stay in the Spaniard Kingdom while the couple returned to Houston. He had used the excuse that he wanted to spend some time with Mrs. Garcia and learn more about the fashion industry. It was always his long-time dream to enter the fashion world, and this was the perfect opportunity that he didn’t want to miss.

Ashley backed him up, making Tanaga forced to agree to the one condition that Mrs. Garcia and Dr. Garcia had no problem with letting him stay while they were away.

Mrs. Garcia was more than happy to let Sato not only stay but also learn from her. Dr. Garcia had to be informed that Sato was gay for him to agree since he had severe jealousy issues.

"Although I’m allowing you to shadow my wife with her work, keep in mind that I only agree to this because CEO Jones, President Jones, and my very own wife allowed you, or wanted to stay," reminded Dr. Garcia who was sternly looking at Sato...
