You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 196

“If you want to continue living here. It’s just fair that you have to agree with the owner’s terms and conditions.”

“You have to make a living. You will work for me. I am your boss outside and you are my secretary. Inside the house, I am your husband and you are my wife. Clear?”

Bill’s words were like a boomerang.

“You have a choice, Arabella.” Eric Grant‘s words cut her.

The two men’s words popped out in Arabella’s mind.

Then she smiled.

Sky Corporation.

Arabella dressed like going to a fashion show. Very elegant and beautiful. She had never dressed like that before. She even surpassed Trishia’s fashion. She walked confidently like a model walking on a catwalk. Sexy, beautiful, and confident that all men in the area could not help to turn around and give her an amusing stare.

She waved at them and gave them her sweetest smile.

Bill abruptly stopped in front of her. Arabella immediately bumped at his back.

Bill looked at her with a frown. His eyes were mocking and serious. “What are you doing?” He asked.

“Boss, I’m just being friendly with my co-employees.” She smirked cutely.

“Are you flirting with all the men here on your first day of work?” His voice was irritated but his handsomeness never lessened a bit.

“It’s not my fault that they look at me.” She muttered her excuse.

“If you work for me, focus only on me. Clear?” Bill’s voice was firm. She could tell he was really fit for the CEO title by the way he gave his orders and his powerful authority was screaming everywhere in his image.

“Crystal clear.” She answered with a salute and a smile.

‘Did this girl skip her breakfast today? Or still drunk from last night?’

Bill could not help to think of her sudden change.

Not wanting to waste time, he strode towards his private elevator and Arabella followed.

Inside the elevator, the silence was deafening. Even a drop of a pin could be heard.

“Hmmm…” Arabella looked for perfect timing. “ I… “She was looking for perfect words too.

Bill looked at her. She got his full attention.

“Mr. Sky, I have to excuse myself this lunchtime. I need to do something.” She completed her sentence.

Bill folded his arms in front of him. He was studying her.

“Ms. Jones,” Bill smirked. “What kind of employee would skip in her first day of work?” Bill mockingly asked.

“Mr. Sky, please understand. I promise to be back early.” Arabella lifted her hand to swear.

Bill turned around to completely face her. He looked at her from head to toe and back while his arms were folded in front. “Where are you going?” He seriously asked.

“Personal matters.” She answered quickly.

“Hmmm…” Bill nodded.

Arabella felt that he was going to permit her as he smiled after.

“You can’t go.” He declared without even thinking then turned back around.

Hearing him, Arabella dropped her shoulders. She made face behind him. She was acting to punch him at the back and scratch him but Bill suddenly turned around again to her. She was caught with her hands lifted in the air while her fingers like claws that were ready to dig deep on his back.

“What are you doing?” Bill’s tone was dangerous as he strode closer to her. Arabella took a step back.

“Catching flies?” She answered to save herself from embarrassment.

“Hmmm…” Bill nodded agreeing to her answer while he continued stepping closer to her until her body reached the wall. Arabella’s eyes grew wider but she tried her best to maintain her cool. “You wanted to scratch your boss?” His voice was firm.

“Mr. Sky, I never want to.” She answered feeling intensely nervous but trying to suppress it.

Bill leaned over to her ear.

“I’m allowing you to scratch me without my shirts on,” Bill whispered brushing his lips on her ears. Arabella instantly blushed. She clenched her fists to stop all the tingling sensations arousing in her body.

She smiled.

“I will never do that to my boss,” Arabella said. Her eyes showed her nervousness but she still managed to carry her cool. She shot her body under his arm to escape from him. She had to distance herself from him otherwise she would be in big trouble if she dropped her cool.

Bill looked at her with no expression on his face.

Why does he have to do that always? She could not decipher what he was thinking. Maybe that is why he always wins because his enemies and competitors could not tell what his next move was.

Without any doubt, Bill Sky is a good player.

“You will,” Bill said confidently. “Eventually you will.” He added nodding. “Not as my assistant but as my wife. I'm good either way.” He put on a playful smile as he announced it.

She gulped with his sentence.

“Will see.” Arabella blurted confidently. She had to cover her blushes before Bill could notice it.

Shaking his head, he turned around just in time the elevator opened. They strode out.

“You have to go to the HR department to process your papers. Ask them to find your assistant.” Bill announced formally.

“Sure.” Finally, she could flee from him. “Can I hire my own assistant? She asked.

Bill stopped before entering his office. He looked at her like he was seeing what she was thinking.

“You can.” He answered briefly then he strode to enter his office but he stopped again in the middle and turned to face her. “You are only allowed to have a sexy female assistant. Clear?” He announced.

Annoyance instantly aroused in her but she managed to suppress it instead she smiled at him. A smile with mocking and cursing but sweet to look at.

“Crystal clear.” She answered then she entered her own office.

"Pervert!" She cursed him in the air.

She sat on her swivel chair turning it round and round to calm herself. It’s been so long since she entered her office again. Changes were made and adjustments. A glass wall was installed between Bill’s office and hers. She could see him clearly and Bill could see her directly too. Her table was unremovable as it was screwed on the ground. She had no choice but to face the direction of Bill’s working table.

She could not hide from him. He seemed to intentionally design it so he could see everything she was doing.

She knew Bill didn't trust him.

Arabella smirked and smiled.

Bill walked out from his private room. He took off his coat and sat on his working chair. He looked in her direction. Their eyes met. Bill smirked but his tantalizing eyes were serious.

He got the landline beside his table.

Arabella picked up the call.

“Yes, Mr. Sky.” She maintained her friendly tone.

“Coffee.” He lazily ordered then hung up the phone without waiting for her reply.

“Jerk!” She cursed him in the air.

So what?

He might see her but sure enough, he could not hear her. She could curse him all she wants inside her office.
