The Billionaire's Secret Wife (MBBC#10)✅

9. Test

Zebedee Glenn

.

Two hundred eight applicants. None of them passed. Dammit.

I rested my head on the chair headrest and massaged my temple. My head was spinning as I was thinking about many things, mainly the business. 

I will become busy in the following months. Most of my days there will be spent on a project down the Visayas. It's a huge project led by Reeve and, of course, me. I want to build a sports hotel complex with all the necessary amenities. But before that, I need to find a secretary who can help me with my schedule. 

I thought it would be as easy as what Reeve suggested. But damn, it's been three months, and I couldn't find the right one.

"Ano, may nahanap ka na ba?" 

Tumaas bahagya ang isang kilay ko at umiwas agad ako sa titig niya.

"Not yet." I sighed in desperation as I unfolded the folder in front of me. Another project again to work on.

"I don't think you will find the right one, Glenn. You're standard is over the roof. Do you think there's a woman that is programmed to be like that?"

My forehead creased as I looked at Reeve. He gave me a cold shoulder, and he smirked.

"Here. The last one, I guess." Inilapag niya ang folder sa harapan ko at ngumisi akong bahagya sa sarili.

"What do you want?" I asked in annoyance. My body was stuffed, and I was done for the day. I wanted to go home, submerge myself in a warm jacuzzi, and sleep. Both my body and mind were totally drained.

"Nothing. I was just checking on you. Morris wanted me to check on you. He is worried, you know."

I chuckled. "Tell him to mind his own business." I snorted. 

That Polar bear lunatic is giving me a headache.

Papa managed to shut down three of his businesses, and a new one was on his list, but I managed to stop my father before anything else. 

Namaneho kong kunin ang loob ng ama ko sa pamamagitan ng pagsisinungaling.

I lied to my father, saying that I already have a fiancee and that they will meet her in two months. I told them that she's staying abroad, particularly in New York. She's a Filipina and not an American that they're scared of. They don't want to have a foreign daughter-in-law. Matatangap naman daw nila kung sakaling kalahating dugong foreigner ito. Huwag lang daw ang puro.

"Okay. I will tell your brother that you are doing fucking awesome." He winked wickedly.

"Dammit, Reeve." Bahagyang tawa ko at napailing na siya.

"Send my regards to him. Just say everything is okay with me."

"I will. Don't worry. I will not tell him that you are stressing out of something." Pilyo ang ngiti niya at saka lumabas na siya. "Let's catch up again at La Teresse?"

"Sure." Itinaas ko lang ang kamay at saka napabuntong-hininga na ako nang tuluyan nang  makalabas siya rito. 

Inayos ko ang mga papelis na napirmahan ko na at binilisan ko ang iilan pa. Marge, the HR will be here soon to collect these from me. Dalawang linggo na ang mga papelis na ito sa lamesa ko at ngayon ko lang nabigyan ito ng panahon dahil abala ako.

I paused again when I heard someone knock on the side of the door. It's open anyway. I made my office door open today so they could submit all legal documents to be signed. But I will not sign them today. They know that because I need to check each plan again before signing it.
