Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 6

The next day, their flight back to Red Pine City was at 9 am.

When Lumma was on a business trip with Adam, they all sat in business class. Adam was by the window. Lumma was by the corridor, and Leonard was in the row behind.

After taking the seat, the flight attendant came over immediately. “Sir, Ma’am, what do you want to drink?”

Lumma said, “Give us two bottles of water.”

Adam was very picky. He usually only drank hand-ground coffee and specially supplied water. As there was no hand-ground coffee on the plane, he could only drink water.

The flight attendant nodded, but she didn’t leave. Her eyes were almost fixed on Adam. “Sir, we have coffee on the plane. Would you like it?”

Adam didn’t look at the flight attendant and said to Lumma, “I’m going to treat my wife to dinner tonight. Book the restaurant in advance.”

Lumma nodded. “Okay.”

She looked at the flight attendant, and the smile on the flight attendant’s face froze.

Lumma was embarrassed. She said with a smile, “Please give me a copy of today’s newspaper.”

As the president’s secretary, it was necessary to know current affairs. There was no Internet on the plane, so Lumma could only read newspapers.

After reading the news one by one, Lumma saw the news about Reid Group in the economic section.

“The president of Reid Group was investigated for corruption. He had a car accident on the way to the airport and lost his right hand.”

Lumma subconsciously looked at Adam on the right, who was closing his eyes and having a rest. She could see his long eyelashes under the glasses, which looked as pretty as a small fan.

Adam might feel her gaze. He frowned slightly and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Lumma asked cautiously, “Mr. Hills, something happened to Mr. Reid. Do you know that?”

Adam sneered. “He should be glad he only lost one hand.”

He spoke calmly as if he was talking about the weather today, but Lumma felt chills down her spine and swallowed nervously.

There were many rumors about Adam. It was said he was ruthless, disowned his family, was not interested in women, and so on.

Adam was underage twelve years ago. In the eyes of many people, he was just a callow youth, but he cleaned up the shareholders of Hills Group, who were as cunning as foxes, and made the crumbling Hills Group stand on the top of the world again.

Since then, many people in business shuddered when they heard Adam’s name, and he seemed to have become a byword for horror.

Adam slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lumma with a cold gaze. “What? Are you scared?”

Being stared at by him, Lumma panicked. She nodded and then shook her head. “I’m not.”

“Really?” Adam clearly didn’t believe what she said, but he closed his eyes again without asking further.

No matter what the rumors said, Lumma couldn’t deny that Adam would smile softly when mentioning his wife. No matter how busy he was at work, he would find time to choose gifts for his wife and would protect his subordinates….

Lumma thought, “I’m his assistant, not his enemy. Why should I be afraid of him?”

After thinking this through, she heaved a sigh of relief and closed her eyes to rest.

The plane soon flew stably. When Lumma fell into a drowsy sleep, she vaguely heard a gloomy voice. “Do you think I’m frivolous? Or do you think I am a man you can get?”

The voice was so cold that it made Lumma shudder. When she opened her eyes, she saw the flight attendant who wanted to accost Adam take back her phone in embarrassment.

Adam had a good appearance and money. Although he couldn’t stop all kinds of temptations from falling on him, he could always resist all kinds of temptations, which was very rare.
