A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 92

A black sedan came to a stop a few distances away from the construction site. Then Catherine got down from the car and walked towards the unfinished building.

A smile surfaced on her lips when her eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar face and she called out, “Pablo.”

Even though that wasn't his name, he remember Catherine immediately and said, “Good morning, ma’am.”

“Good morning. Is my husband here?” Catherine asked with a friendly smile.

“Yes, he's in the back, doing the last of his work. I will get him.”

“It's fine. I will wait here for him.”

After a few minutes had gone by, Catherine gazed down at her toes as she pouted because Rome was taking long.

Then she heard, “Hey, wife,” and immediately, she lifted her head and chuckled as she stared at Rome, gazing back at her.

Unable to stop smiling, she walked over to him and used her thumb to slowly wiped the dirt off his face.

“Sorry that I came a bit late. The line in the cafe was long, and I had to wait for a while before getting my order.” Catherine said, withdrawing her hand from his face.

“It's fine,” Rome mumbled, feeling quite relief.

Then he removed her hair from her face, tugged it behind her ear, and thought, ‘ I'm glad I got here before you. Orlando is a mad driver.’

“You must be hungry,” Catherine said, realizing that she was still holding onto the bag.

“I am done with my shift. So, I'm going to clean up a bit, get changed, and then we can leave.” Rome said, avoiding her eyes.

Staring at the filthy-looking clothes on him, Catherine slightly nodded, feeling baffled about the fact that she didn't recognize those clothes. Then she watched Rome head back in the direction he came from.

A sigh of relief escape his lips as he stared at one of the employees, who was wearing only his boxer.

After getting changed out of the guy's clothes, Rome pulled out his wallet and took out a stack of hundred bills.

“Here's your two thousand dollars that I promise,” Rome said, handing the money over.

When he accepted the cash from Rome, he took his time to check them and then said, “You must be crazy or rich to spend two grams on those rags. You are both, ain’t you.”

Without replying, Rome got dressed in his own clothes, took the guy's bag, and stuff his clothes into it before zipping the bag.

‘The things I do,’ Rome thought as he walked away.

When he reached outside, he walked over to Catherine, looked back, and said, “See you tomorrow, Pablo.”

Not saying a word, he watched Catherine and Rome walked away. Then after they got into her sedan, he took out a roll of money, smiled, and muttered, “You are welcome back anytime, Rome.”

After throwing the guy’s bag in the backseat. Rome focus on Catherine as she handed him the plastic bag.

Then she started the car and drove off, passing by the White jeep that was pack on the side of the road.

“Did you buy a few new items that I don't know about?” Catherine mumbled, keeping her gaze fixed on the road.

“Umm… Yes. But I won't say new. I have had them for a while.” Rome said, feeling a sense of nervousness.
