Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Not home

*MARCELO*

I narrowed my eyes at the photo to see my wife in a chic,light beige dress and black coat,she was attentively working on a mannequin.

I frowned.“Isn’t she supposed to be resting at home?“I looked up at Luke and he shrugged, equally clueless about the situation.

I immediately gave Chad a call.

“Why is my wife not home?“I asked as soon as he picked up.

“Oh,Mrs King told me she had something important to do.she told me not to follow her and that she would be fine.Please don’t be mind, Mr King.”

I hung up and sighed.

Luke chimed in what had obviously become obvious.

“It seems she’s vying for the stylist position here this quarter.She has made it to the second interview round and seems to be faring quite well.”

It was also obvious that she doesn’t know that I owed this company.

“Bring her up to me.”

Why couldn’t she just adhere to simple instructions?

I told her to have a good rest at home!

I had only returned to this country this morning and it was quite surprising that she had left the house already.

Had she been leaving the house since I traveled?

How was her wound supposed to heal?

“I’ve got a merger meeting soon.Anna can handle this, right?”Luke proposed.

Anna was my secretary.

I nodded and signaled him to proceed and then I recalled something.

I was a man of my word so I have to keep to my word.

“Get me a cup of hot chocolate.”

Luke stared at me, looking surprised.“Hot chocolate?”

I eyed him and he quickly nodded.

“I’ll get it right away.“He said,masking his curiosity.

“Which cafe should I go to? How sweet should it be? Any special toppings?”

I was confused.

I have never had hot chocolate before and I definitely had no idea how Renee liked having hers.

As if he sensed my confusion, Luke explained.

“Well, everyone had their own preference for hot chocolate. The sugar level could be full,less, half or slight.Toppings like milk caps can be added too,which can be sweet or salty.Plus, there are numerous cafes to choose from.So Mr King, which would you like? And from which cafe?Happy Gulp?Sweet taste?”
