Alexander's POV:
The next morning I got ready for work, I felt bad about how I talked to Olivia yesterday and she got bullied because of me. With a heavy heart, I walked downstairs to find her when I spotted my nanny, Natou.
"Mr. Bennett" she smiled at me and I nodded before glancing at Olivia's bedroom.
"Mrs. Bennett left early, she said she was going to work," Natou said and I gritted my teeth. From what I know she works as a secretary to Coyle Adams. I couldn't let my wife work as a secretary, especially to Coyle.
"I won't have breakfast," I told Natou before turning to leave when I heard the sound of heels and a lady walked in.
she looked pale as she bowed her head embarrassed, I recognized her as the restaurant owner's daughter…she was the one who bullied Olivia yesterday and I frowned seeing her here.
"Mr. Bennett," she said and immediately fell on her knees.
"Please don't close the restaurant, my father is going to die from depression if you do that…I will do anything" she said on the verge of tears.
I knew her actions and tears weren't sincere but I didn't have time for her, I needed to get my wife out of Leader light.
"Mr. Bennett please, I don't know what my offense was. You can't close down our restaurant for no reason" she said and I got angry before walking closer to her.
"Since you don't know your offense then I won't spare you" I warned angrily and she glared at me surprised by my words.
"Mr. Bennett…I"
I received a call from Bruno, I frowned and took a last glance at the lady who was on her knees, without saying another word I walked out and the driver was waiting for me. I got into the car when he drove away, I needed to get Olivia to love me.
Girls loved romantic stuff, and also gifts but what did she like?
I retracted my phone and dialed Bruno's number "Mr. President, are you on your way?" he asked since we had a meeting with some of our investors.
"Go find out everything about Olivia's likes and dislikes" I ordered.
"But we have an urgent meeting…" he tried explaining when I frowned, I couldn't attend the meeting because I needed to see Olivia.
"Cancel it," I said before hanging up, the meeting was important but I couldn't stand the fact that Olivia was serving a man like Coyle Adams.
"To leader light," I said to the driver who nodded before changing direction.
From Olivia's POV:
I woke up early and headed to work because I didn't want to see Mr. Bennett's face and also didn't want to upset Mr. Adams because I had to pick him up from his house.
I drove his car while he sat at the back and I could feel his gaze on me "Didn't you just get married? Where is the ring" he asked and I became nervous before smiling awkwardly.
"My wedding was canceled," I said honestly but there was no way I was telling anyone about my marriage to Alexander Bennett.
I expected him to ask why but he kept mute and this made me wonder if he even cared for me, the drive was silent till we got to the company and used the president's elevator to go to his office.
"Get me coffee" he ordered when we got upstairs before walking to his office, I sighed. Because the pay was good I couldn't leave, I was the driver, nanny secretary even his assistant. At first, it was hard but now I learned to adjust.
I turned on my heels and walked downstairs to get coffee.
Minutes later, I walked to Mr. Adams's office with the coffee, I pushed his door open and gasped when I saw Mr. Bennett there…due to shock I dropped the coffee and it spilled on my legs.
"Ouch" I cried out, Mr. Adams preferred his coffee very hot and now I got burnt with it.
They both turned towards me as I crouched to wipe the spilled coffee on my legs, to my surprise Mr. Adams extended his hand to help me stand up. So he had a caring sight, I was about to take his hand when I felt a sharp glare on me.
I glared at Mr. Bennett whose gaze became frightening, he crouched and lifted me princess-like before carrying me to the couch.
"You are too clumsy," he said before turning to Mr. Adams.
"Get me your medical kit," he said and I felt nervous, how could he boss my arrogant president around? I stared at Mr. Adams who had a confused look but he still walked to his bench and later returned with the kit, Mr. Bennett took out a pomade and softly rubbed on my legs using his fingers.
I didn't want him touching me, so I moved my legs slightly when he clicked his tongue before glaring at me.
"Mr. Bennett, she is my secretary so I will take care of her," Mr. Adams said in an attempt to take the pomade from him but Mr. Bennett's gaze was so menacing that my president had no other choice than to take a few steps backward.
He continued applying the pomade when I winced in pain, his touch became more gentle as I couldn't feel anything.
When he was done he threw the pomade on the floor before turning towards Mr. Adams "She will submit her resignation letter tomorrow" he said and my eyes widened in shock, I didn't say I wanted to resign. Even Mr. Adams had a shocked expression.
"And who are you to give such orders?" Mr. Adams asked angrily, the way they glared at each other I noticed they were not on good terms, my husband and boss didn't like each other, but that was not my business and there was no way I was quitting this job.
"I am…."
"He is my father's boss" I butted in just in time for him to say he was my husband.
Mr. Bennett glared at me angrily and I swallowed hard, I had to admit one thing. His gaze was more dangerous than that of Mr. Adams, though Mr. Adams was cold he still looked cute but Mr. Bennett had that rough and daring look.
"She won't resign," Mr. Adams said clearly and Mr. Bennett glared at me, was he expecting me to resign? No way!!.
"Then don't blame me for being harsh" he threatened and the tension became tough, I quickly stood up when Mr. Bennett pulled me to sit but this time I wasn't sitting on the couch but on his thighs.
This got me nervous as I tried standing up but his grip on my waist was tight "What are you doing?" Mr. Adams asked angrily.
"You are harassing my secretary in my company, leave now before I call security," he said with a clenched fist.
"Mr. Bennett, please you should leave," I said with a pleading tone, I was sitting in an awkward position.
"You are right, I will leave," Mr. Bennett said and I sighed in relief, then he stood up and carried me princess-style before turning to leave, and I gasped in shock.
"Put me down" I scolded and Mr. Adams hurried towards us "You can't take her with you," he said.
"Watch me leave," Mr. Bennett said before walking out of his office and he couldn't stop him, I was nervous when I thought about all the employees downstairs.
What if they saw Mr. Bennett carrying me in such an intimate position, to my surprise he walked to the president's elevator and got in. How could he use our president's elevator to come up?
"Mr. Bennett put me down," I said angrily and he placed me down gently.
"You are not allowed to come back here" he warned and I sneered.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?"
"Your husband" he replied and I gritted my teeth.
"My temporal husband, I didn't ask you to marry me" I scolded when he pinned me on the wall of the elevator.
"You better think twice before disrespecting me, Mrs. Bennett" his gaze penetrated through my thin skin as my heartbeat increased.
I felt scared and couldn't speak anymore, the elevator door opened and he finally left me before walking to his car in the parking lot, the driver awaited us "Get in" he ordered and I frowned but walked in.
To my surprise he didn't get in, the driver drove out and I turned to glare at him who stood there staring at the car leave. Why did he not come along? Was he going back in there?
Not long after, we arrived at the mansion and I got out of the car angrily before walking in when I spotted the old lady, Natou who glared at me confused.
"What happened?" she asked with a worried tone and I picked a glass of water from the table and gulped it down in one go.
"Mr. Bennett is ruining my life," I said angrily and she chuckled before walking closer to me.
"Does this have anything to do with the young lady who came here this morning?" Natou asked and I got confused, what young lady? Did Mr. Bennett bring a woman home while I was not? If yes then this was a good thing as I could finally divorce him.
"A lady?" I asked curiously and she nodded.
"She looked pale and frustrated, she even went on her knees and pleaded with Mr. Bennett to not destroy their restaurant," she said and I got confused, did Mr. Bennett destroy a restaurant?
Then my eyes widened in shock, did he destroy the restaurant in which I got bullied yesterday? No, that can't be the case…it was a five-star restaurant and he wouldn't do such a childish thing because of one person's mistake.
"Well, I don't care," I said and she nodded before walking to the kitchen.
It would be bad to let her cook alone while I slack off, so I followed her to the kitchen where I found her making multiple dishes.
"Is Mr. Bennett expecting guests?" I asked while staring at the variety of meals
"No," she said and I frowned.
"Then why are you making more than one dish?" I asked in disbelief, was she expecting one person to finish this meal?
"It is good to have a choice while eating" she explained and I didn't think so.
"You should make one dish and some desserts, if not you will end up throwing the rest and that's not fair as there are a lot of hungry people out there" I explained to her and she nodded.
"I understand you but this is the Bennett's mansion and Mr. Bennett was trained to always make a choice," Natou said and this made me furious, she was an old lady with weak bones and Mr. Bennett still wanted her to make multiple dishes.
"Then he will learn to compromise, one dish at a time," I said without giving room for arguments, she glared at me and then sighed heavily.
