My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

144 Birthday Banquet

Scott glanced at WhatsApp, only to receive a message saying, “I don’t care who you are. Stop saying strange things.”

Scott was slightly taken aback and looked at his assistant in confusion. “Miss Olsen’s tone is a bit weird.

I don’t she’ll give me her parasol.”

The assistant replied, “Maybe it’s because you two aren’t very familiar with each other yet, Boss. You could send Miss Olsen more messages, and it’ll be

better when you’re more acquainted.”

Scott thought for a moment. “What should I write?”

The assistant suggested, “You could talk about everyday stuff, things like what happens around yo how you feel about things.”

Scott appeared contemplative.

The car exited the garage, and Scott turned his head, suddenly spotting a pile of dog poop on the ground. He frowned slightly, took out his phone, and continued messaging Keira.

Lewis left that Bentley for Keira, and she didn’t hesitate to get in.

On the way back to the Horton mansion, her phone vibrated again. She picked it up and was surprised to find another message from Scott on WhatsApp. “I just saw a pile of dog poop in the garage, totally blew my mind!”

Keira was dumbfounded.

Her mouth twitched, and she thought this guy must

have some serious issues.

With a smirk, she replied, “I suggest you go and see a neurologist.”

The car soon returned to the Horton estate.
