His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 9

From the sharp, grey suit the man in front of me was wearing to his hair set perfectly with heat and gel till the last strand, he screamed money. And not to forget the smile on his lips,, so conceited, so wicked.

“Only you can help me.” His lopsided smile did not sit right with me.

“Excuse me?”

“You are one of the housemaids, yes?” He raised an eyebrow.

My lips parted slightly. I knew I didn’t look my best in the oversized sweats I was wearing, but I did not look shabby. Heck, all the housemaids here were wearing a uniform. Could he see me in that uniform?

“It’s Sofia.” I replied dryly, crossing my hands in front of my chest. “Are you here for Gabriel?”

“I was, but now that I have finally met you, I must tell you what a number you have done on your husband. That man has never looked in as much hurry to leave for home as he was in last night, and I can see why” His sight shamelessly moved from my face all the way down to my feet. I was completely covered in oversized sweatshirts, but he made me want to co up even more.

I still stayed my ground, my expressions poker. “I’ll call Gabriel and let him know you’re here.” Saying as much, I turned grab my phone but froze half way when I felt a hand grabbing my wrist, stopping me.
