Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 

Sofia bit her lower lip as she continued reading the details of the contract. that Alexander had handed her. On it were details about this ‘marriage of convenience. 

“Is there anything else?” Alexander asked; his brown eyes met hers. “Anything that you wanted to add?” 

However, before Sofia could say a word, her phone vibrated for the second time since she met Alexander in this quaint restaurant she did not even know existed near her office. 

“Hey, sorry. I am currently in a meeting,” Sofia said as she answered her phone. The caller was none other than Daniel. She had already declined his call earlier. Why was he calling her again? 

“How about we have dinner together? After the meeting, of course,” Daniel said on the other line. 

“Daniel, look-” 

“Sorry. I was just…” There was a pause on the other line. “I missed you.” 

elded “Let’s talk later. My client is here,” Sofia said before she ended the call. 

“Client?” Alexander chuckled. “I didn’t know my younger brother could be very clingy, considering he had been treating you like a fool for two years 

now.” 

“Why am I not surprised that you were already aware of how long he’s been treating me this way yet did nothing to bring this matter to my attention?” she snapped. 

“I don’t see why it is any of my business,” Alexander answered almost immediately.

This answer seemed to choke all the words that she wanted to say. Prior to their meeting a few days ago, she had only met him once. There were times that they had seen each other at events, but they would only nod at each other. He does not owe her anything. 

“Why now, then?” she asked, curious. 

“Don’t you already know the answer to your question?” he retorted. 

Why was this man so hateful? Her delicate brows frowned. It seems that other than his appearance, there is truly nothing good about this tyrant. 

After his proposal, she was quick to do her research and found out that the Beaumont Empire was currently very chaotic. Just a while ago, Alexander kicked his own father from the board and claimed the chairman position. This, of course, met a few raised eyebrows from the older generation. 

To stabilize his position, he needed someone like her. 

She glared at his smiling face before she lowered her gaze and read the agreement for the second time. There are rules in this marriage that she expected such as cohabitation, signing a prenuptial, and keeping this marriage a secret until both of them are ready to reveal it. 

However, she never expected the first clause.

Physical intimacy is permitted, but consent is a must. Consent was highlighted; it was emphasized. 

To be honest, she never thought about this clause at all. Despite being together for years, Daniel and she still lived in separate flats. While he wanted to move in together a long time ago, Sofia found it rather hard to balance being with him in the same house and working with her designs. She thought being so near him would be a distraction. 

Luckily, Daniel did not force her to do so. She thought this was because he always travels for his job. Now, she was suspecting this was because of

Right now, she was forced to face something that she initially dismissed as a mere formality. Sofia simply thought that this was nothing but a marriage on paper. However, now that she had the time to sit down and carefully analyze the situation, she realized a few things. 

Both of them are adults, so it should not be an issue for them to talk about intimacy. She lifted her gaze and stared at him. He was wearing a perennial black suit- as always. His hair was brushed up, making him. look more mature than his age. His tall legs were crossed, only adding to the elegant yet subtly intimidating feeling that he was giving her- and everyone else. 

“Satisfied?” he asked with that infuriating playful smirk. 

Almost immediately, her gaze turned sharp. She could feel the embarrassment of being caught settled in her gut. Was she praising this. devil inside her head? Was she damn blushing? She should not be! 

“I appreciate your thoroughness about this matter,” she voiced out, trying to maintain the calmness in her voice. 

“Hmmm…” he nodded. 

Once again, silence and the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the room. 

“Let’s do it,” Sofia said after a few minutes of silence. 

His lips lifted into a smile as he watched Sofia sign the agreement.
