The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Ethan returned to the Larson Group and made his way over to Charis’ office. He pushed her door open and entered, wearing a stone-cold expression. “Where can I find Charis Turner?”

The assistant had never seen her boss like this. She had also never heard him call Charis by her full name. Did this mean the company was going through a financial crisis? The assistant battled with so many feelings.
