The Devil CEO's Contract Wife novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Meeting With The Reporter [1]

I walked to the Rolls-Royce, which was packed and waiting for me. Nico opened the car door when I got close, and I got in.

Reed was at the passenger side, and he gave me a brief side look, and I smiled. This is my life after we left the King’s estate two days ago. Reed and Nico were both my bodyguards, but I just hoped for the time being because they were at each other’s throats most of the time, and I’m caught in the middle.

"Let’s make a stop at the coffee shop."

Nico adjusted the rearview mirror to see me. "We stopped there on our way here."

"Well, I need another damn coffee."

Nico checked his watch and sighed. He had that same attitude of keeping to time. "As you wish, milady."

"Are you alright?" Reed asked me the moment we drove out.

"Yeah, why?"

It was almost like he could discern something was up with me.

"Nothing, Mrs. King," he replied, facing ahead.

It didn’t take long, and we arrived there. It was a very exclusive one, so the crowd inside was small.

Reed was about to come down, but I stopped him.

"There’s no need, I’ll go in alone."

"No can do, milady," Nico said.

"I have spent the entire day with your ass, and I think I need a break."

"Mr. King told us not to let you out of our sight," Reed uttered, surprisingly agreeing with Nico.

His words made me rethink my entire plan because I’m suddenly reminded that someone out there was after me.

But I can’t go back now. My phone vibrated, and that was my cue.

"I just need an hour to enjoy a mocha alone before I get back to the office." I stepped out of the car, mouthing to the two guys who watched me go. Stay.

I walked into the coffee shop, my eyes sweeping the place before I neared the barista to take my order.

I moved my gaze around again, but feeling eyes on me, I lifted them to the second floor to find Jenna waiting.

"I’ll take the order with the reservation I made," I said to the barista.

"Of course, ma’am."

I walked up the stairs, searching for Jenna again, before I saw her sitting at the far end with no windows.

I ambled towards her and pulled out the chair to sit.

"Mrs. King."

"Please just call me Catherine."

"You picked a perfect place, but drinks here are pricey."

"It’s on me. I thought this was the best place since it’s exclusive."

"You thought right..."

"So I have one hour or less before my bodyguards storm in and start looking for me."

Jenna searched her bag to pull out something, and that was when the waiter came with my drink.

"No... It’s exactly what I think."
