"Mila."
"Yes, Mr. Noah?" Mila immediately got up from her seat when she saw her boss approaching her.
"You waited a long time for me, didn't you? Sorry, I had an urgent job earlier."
"Oh it's okay, Sir. I just came too." Mila deliberately spoke casually because Noah asked her to do that.
"Okay, I'll take you to Mr. Kevin's room now, okay?"
"Okay." After that Mila immediately followed Noah from behind.
Actually Noah doesn't understand why Kevin wants to talk to Mila, while Mila is just a new staff member who shouldn't have any direct relationship with Kevin. But Noah couldn't refuse his superior's orders, especially when his boss said that he also had an appointment with Mila before.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to," said someone who bumped into Mila as she walked.
"It's okay, Ma'am. Maybe I'm also not being careful walking." Mila said while helping the old woman to pick up her scattered things.
"Where are you going, Ma'am? Let me help carry it." Mila had already lifted one of the woman's belongings, which looked like food ingredients.
"Oh, you don't need to, Miss. I can bring it myself."
"It's okay, Ma'am. I'll just help you instead of being bothered. You definitely want to go to the office canteen downstairs, right? Come on, let me help you!" Mila had already walked over, making Noah look surprised at his new employee.
"Mila!" Noah called when Mila had walked away from him.
"Sorry, Sir, but you should go first! I want to take this woman first. I'll follow as soon as possible!" After saying that with a little shout because of the distance between them, Mila immediately walked quickly. It made Noah smile broadly when he saw it.
This was the first time he had come across a female species like Mila. Besides being beautiful, interesting, and also fun. It turns out that Mila has a kind and helpful heart too. Just like the type of woman Noah had been looking for all along to be his life partner.

"Excuse me, Sir." Mila poked her head into Kevin's room, she could see Kevin was busy researching the files on his desk.
"Come in!" He called, without taking his eyes off. Making Mila finally go inside.
"Mila?" Kevin was surprised by Mila's presence, he thought it was his secretary who wanted to bring the file for him to sign.
"Not usually you knock on the door first, you usually just walk in and out." Kevin quipped, he stood up from his oversized chair and walked over to Mila who was already sitting on the sofa with a document in her hand.
"I'm not knocking the door, that's wrong. When I'm knocking the door, I'm still wrong. So, what do you want?"
"I'm just saying it." Again, Kevin sarcastically sneered at Mila, making Mila snort in her place.
After that, Mila looked around the room looking for someone. And Kevin who saw Mila's strange attitude immediately asked. "Why?"
"Mr. Noah, where is he, Sir? Shouldn't Mr. Noah be here too?"
Kevin snorted afterward. "Oh, So this is the reason why you knocked on my door first? For imaging in front of Noah?"
And Mila casually replied. "Of course, Sir! Mr. Noah is my boss!"
"So, you think I'm your subordinate? I'm also your boss above Noah!"
"Yes, without you telling me, I also know that."
"And also, you think this contract marriage of ours is no secret? Remember, only the two of us can know. Just be careful if you tell someone else about this!"
"I'm not crazy. I can't do that either." Mila said in her unfriendly tone. For some reason, his boss was getting more and more annoying by the day.
Then how should Mila endure living together with Kevin for one year?
Gosh, Mila can't imagine it.
"This is our marriage contract, you can read it first." Kevin handed the file in his hand to Mila. Makes Mila immediately open the file and read it.
"What the hell?!" Mila snapped.
Kevin gasped from his seat in surprise, even though he was also busy monitoring his work through the ipad in his hand.
"What's wrong with you?" Kevin snapped.
"Both sides should do skinship when necessary. What does it mean? I don't want to do that in public, Sir."
"Why? You're my wife!"
"Only a contract wife, Sir. Also, I don't want to be the subject of gossip in the office," explained Mila, revealing the real reason.
Kevin put his ipad on the table. "Okay. But if it's in front of our family, especially in front of my grandpa and grandma, you have to be willing."
Mila nodded her head. "That's not a problem. But the skinship is only limited to holding hands, Sir, nothing more than that."
Kevin rolled his eyes lazily, the woman in front of him was stubborn as well. "Hey, Mila! I pay you to be my wife, not just my girlfriend. Where is the husband and wife who just hold hands?"
"Then what? What do you want to do?"
"Well at least, a hug or a kiss?"
Mila glared at Kevin's words. "That's good for you but not for me! You can't do that! How could you trying to manipulate me?"
"Gosh! You're not my type, so I won't lust for you either."
And again, it managed to make Mila click her tongue in annoyance. "You really think you're my type? Sorry to say, Sir, but there are many out there who are more handsome than you."
Kevin glared at the woman in front of him. "It's up to you, I'm tired of talking to you for a long time."
Kevin got up from the sofa, but Mila's hand held him first. "What else?" Kevin asked, in a markedly annoyed tone.
"There is still another article that I want to change, Sir." Mila said.
"What?"
"About sleeping in the same room, I don't want us to sleep together."
"Oh God, Mila! Where do I sleep then? On the floor? In the bathroom? After we get married, we will live in my family's house. So what if my family is suspicious?"
"Yes, you can sleep on the sofa, or buy a new mattress. You're rich!" Kevin sighed heavily, he didn't know that facing Mila would be this complicated.
"Okay! Then what else do you want to protest?" Kevin deliberately said it with an annoyed tone, but Mila just didn't care and continued to express her disapproval.
"I want an additional article that states that we must not interfere in each other's personal affairs."
"I agree with that. I also don't want you to interfere in my business!" This was the first time they agreed.
"Ah, one more thing, I also don't want you to check my family background again. So you don't even try to do that, okay?"
Kevin sighed and said, "Okay, now you have to change the contract yourself."
Kevin gave his macbook to Mila, making the woman immediately protest. "Why me, Sir?"
"Then who? Can't you see I have a lot of work to do?" Kevin pointed the files on his desk, making Mila couldn't help but immediately take the macbook that Kevin gave.
That sucks! Mila grumbled in her heart.
