Billionaires with Benefits

Chapter 84: Yamaguchi

William hesitated. Actually, he wanted to use the rest of the money to run his own start-up. However, on the other hand, he felt very guilty about Lea because his ex-girlfriend desperately needed help. If he couldn't give his love, he better gives the money he had to help her, no?

Without further thought, William finally sent money to Lea's account. The amount was much less than what she asked. But he hoped Lea could find a way to cover the rest.

That afternoon, William did as Paula had suggested. He brought a still-hot lunch to Paula's office. He packed all the fresh food he made in thermal bags which would keep the food fresh until he got to the office later. William smiled to himself doing what he was doing. He performed tasks usually reserved only for women. Something Alex said he did when he was young when Lisa was still busy at work.

When Lisa was pregnant with William, Alex was also the one who cooked food for her because she could only eat food cooked by her husband. Strange, but that was what happened for three whole months and it was very stressful for him. She always laughed when she told the kids some of those memories, no matter how many times. She was proud of her husband.

Just as William got off the bus, he saw a black car stop in front of the building. A driver opened the door, and an old Japanese man got out of the car with a haughty face.

Two bodyguards dressed in black and a woman in white rushed to follow the old man's steps into the building. They rushed to the elevator and coincidentally, William got into the same elevator as them. The spacious elevator then went up to the eighth floor, to AJ Tokyo's office.

The four mafia-like people just stared in astonishment at the foreign man who had joined them in the elevator. Normally, no one would come close to them. Seeing the lunch boxes in William's hands, they sneered and laughed at each other. For them, a man who did household chores while his wife was busy at work was not manly at all.

When they got to the front desk, they forced the front desk girl to let them go inside. However, it was impossible since they had not made an appointment with Paula in advance.

"It's not that I didn't make an appointment, but it was your arrogant boss who didn't want to meet our boss! She neglected us intentionally!" snapped the woman in white to the front desk girl.

.....

"I'm sorry, but our superiors have indeed refused to meet with Mr. Yamaguchi until the trial is over," said the front desk girl. She bent down, answering at a very fast pace out of fear. Her face was pale. Makeup couldn't hide her terrified expression.

Finally, the four of them stepped back to discuss other ways. Meanwhile, they decided to wait until Paula came out of the office.

William then headed to the frontline to fill out the guest book and was invited to enter without having to leave an ID. Seeing William being treated with such respect, Yamaguchi felt offended. He then snapped at the front desk girl for treating him unfairly.

"Why was that foreign man allowed to enter freely? You didn't even ask him to leave his ID," protested Yamaguchi with his hands on his hips.

"Sorry, sir! He is the husband of the owner of this company," the front desk girl bowed and apologized once again.

Suddenly, Yamaguchi was lost in thought. He remembered something important. After that, he didn't even say anything. He just left AJ Tokyo's office without putting up a fight again. Of course, his subordinates could only follow the old boss' footsteps obediently even though they had no idea what was on the boss' mind.

Meanwhile, William walked into his wife's office with a wide smile plastered on his face. However, he found his wife in a state of displeasure.
