Married a Secret Billionaire

When Lena turned her head to look, she spotted a man approaching with a mischievous smirk.

“Mr. Chriss?”

He grinned. “Sorry, I accidentally overheard your conversation with Madam Fleur… Or should I say your future mother-in-law?”

“Nah,” she flatly replied, discreetly slipping the large diamond ring into her pocket.

“It’s not often you see such a huge diamond ring!” He approached. “Look at the color and style. She must have spent a fortune!”

“I told you it’s not happening! Are you done?”

Elijah smiled even wider upon seeing her blush. He had been discussing business with a client and had witnessed the mother-and-daughter-in-law drama after the meeting.

Lena pouted and attempted to leave, but Elijah stopped her. “Don’t leave just yet! I need to talk to you.”

“What’s up?”

He didn’t beat around the bush. “I’m leaving the Thompson Group to start my own business. I need an assistant. Will you help me?”

“Me?” Lena was taken aback, thinking he was joking.

However, his serious demeanor indicated otherwise.

“You’re someone I can trust,” Elijah explained. “I am starting from scratch and need a reliable partner.”

“But I…”

“What? You’re concerned about Ms. Pamela?” He chuckled. “She’s not your blood sister, so why do you care so much? Also, what’s your status when you’re with the Thompsons?”

Lena remained silent, avoiding eye contact.

He pointed in the direction Fleur had gone. “She… doesn’t seem to like you, right?”

Lena remained resolute. “I never wanted her to like me anyway.”
