A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE

CHAPTER 10

Jayden's POV

I stride out of the elevator the moment the door dings open, with my new Personal Assistant right behind me.

Her name is Anna and she was recommended by my mother after I told her that my wife-to-be is Isabella and she would no longer be working for me again.

I don't know what my mother thinks of the idea of getting married to Isabella, my Personal Assistant but I have the belief that my plan will work.

I am doing this because of her after all and after a year just like the contract stated, Isabella and I will go our separate ways and that way, my mother will let me be and stop pestering me to get married again, and have kids.

I have a feeling my mother recommended Anna for a reason and I am sure she is one of her friend's daughters.

Anna doesn't look at all like someone who is in dire need of a job. She comes to work with a portable car and she dresses glamorously which makes me wonder why she is here in the first place.

My instinct is telling me that my mother purposely sent her here so I can gain interest in her just like I did with my former Assistant, Isabella but that is out of the question.

I can never fall in love with women like this, no matter how beautiful they can be.

I love living a quiet life and that was how I fell head over heels in love with Helena. She was reserved and antisocial and that was the type of woman I wanted. Not some fake, sophisticated and materialistic woman who will be on my heels for money.

Anna compared to Isabella is quick-witted and smart but I am still not fully convinced with her abilities.

Unlike Isabella, she doesn't share her ideas with me. She goes along with every single thing I say to her.

I can't possibly let Isabella continue to work here which is why I agreed to take my mother's recommendation.

Isabella is going to be my wife in two weeks and it will be unheard of for me to tell the other employees that I will be getting married to my Assistant.

It will be a breach of the law of the company's regulations; no romantic relationship between workers.

This applies to me too and the essence of this rule is to ensure that they all work hand in hand without any distraction or interruptions.

But now that Isabella isn't here anymore, she will be considered my former Assistant and that will ease it all.

I push the door open and walk in. Anna follows behind me calmly with the two files in her hand. She closes the door and I slouch into my swivel chair with a puff.

We are just coming back from an out-of-office meeting and I plan to close the deal this week.

Before the wedding, I plan to sign two more contracts from the company in Singapore requesting a partnership with my Chemical company in Singapore.

This is because my physical presence will be needed and I will have the time to go over to Singapore after the wedding.

Anna drops the file on the desk before me and I sit upright to begin my work before my next appointment which is in the next one hour.

While inputting my password, I notice Anna is still standing in front of me and I look up.

She has a dark lustful look on her face as she stares at me.

I furrow my brows and demand. "Is there a problem?"

I know her presence here is for a reason. I know it.
