The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

In the bar, the three sat down to chat.

After ordering three pints of beer, Greg took a sip from his and studied Laney‘s face.

Finally, he sighed wistfully.

“Laney, you look exactly the same as you were before.You know what? When we were young, I thought you were so cool and really looked up to you.I heard that you‘ve become one of the top–notch bodyguards now.Why am I not surprised?”

Laney just smiled.

Hearing Greg retell the tales of their childhood, she felt nostalgic and sentimental.

“It was really fun when we were kids.You boys were all taller and stronger than me at the time.I practiced hard every day so that I could beat your asses.”

Greg shook his head helplessly and chuckled.He clinked glasses with Laney and the two caught up with each other happily.

It was already dark out by the time they stood up to part ways.

Before leaving, Greg handed his phone to Laney and said, “Can I have your number? I don‘t want to lose contact with you again.”

Laney smiled and put her number on Greg‘s phone.Since then, Greg had been calling and texting her almost on a daily basis.

“I haven‘t been around much since I moved to Barnes.Do you know any scenic spots here? If you do, can you show me around some time? I’ll pay you for your time!” The extroverted Greg was good at conversing.

When speaking to him, one could always feel at ease.Laney hadn‘t been in the city for long, so she answered him honestly.

“I‘ve only been here a month.I‘ve never been anywhere except home and work.”

After thinking for a while, Greg suddenly suggested, “Then let‘s get familiar with the city together.I can go with you everywhere.”

Laney didn‘t find such a proposal strange.She viewed Greg as a friend, so she agreed readily.

“Sure.My schedule‘s been pretty free lately anyway.”

And so the two of them went and visited several famous tourist spots in Barnes.It was a sunny day in April.

Standing by the river, one could see the vast endlessness of the cloudless blue sky.As the summer breeze washed over them, the two felt really relaxed.

“Did you see those two stone lions at the gate of the museum? They looked just like the ones at the training grounds we used to go to.I remember that you used to like climbing on top of it and barking orders at us like a commander.” It seemed that Greg really missed the good old days.
