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.

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.

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

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

The car soon returned to the Horton estate.
