Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 6

The next day, their flight back to Red Pine City was at 9 am.

When Lumma was on a business trip with Adam, they all sat in business class. Adam was by the window. Lumma was by the corridor, and Leonard was in the row behind.

After taking the seat, the flight attendant came over immediately. “Sir, Ma’am, what do you want to drink?”

Lumma said, “Give us two bottles of water.”

Adam was very picky. He usually only drank hand-ground coffee and specially supplied water. As there was no hand-ground coffee on the plane, he could only drink water.

The flight attendant nodded, but she didn’t leave. Her eyes were almost fixed on Adam. “Sir, we have coffee on the plane. Would you like it?”

Adam didn’t look at the flight attendant and said to Lumma, “I’m going to treat my wife to dinner tonight. Book the restaurant in advance.”

Lumma nodded. “Okay.”

She looked at the flight attendant, and the smile on the flight attendant’s face froze.

Lumma was embarrassed. She said with a smile, “Please give me a copy of today’s newspaper.”

As the president’s secretary, it was necessary to know current affairs. There was no Internet on the plane, so Lumma could only read newspapers.

After reading the news one by one, Lumma saw the news about Reid Group in the economic section.

“The president of Reid Group was investigated for corruption. He had a car accident on the way to the airport and lost his right hand.”

Lumma subconsciously looked at Adam on the right, who was closing his eyes and having a rest. She could see his long eyelashes under the glasses, which looked as pretty as a small fan.

Adam might feel her gaze. He frowned slightly and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Lumma asked cautiously, “Mr. Hills, something happened to Mr. Reid. Do you know that?”

Adam sneered. “He should be glad he only lost one hand.”

He spoke calmly as if he was talking about the weather today, but Lumma felt chills down her spine and swallowed nervously.

There were many rumors about Adam. It was said he was ruthless, disowned his family, was not interested in women, and so on.

Adam was underage twelve years ago. In the eyes of many people, he was just a callow youth, but he cleaned up the shareholders of Hills Group, who were as cunning as foxes, and made the crumbling Hills Group stand on the top of the world again.

Since then, many people in business shuddered when they heard Adam’s name, and he seemed to have become a byword for horror.

Adam slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lumma with a cold gaze. “What? Are you scared?”

Being stared at by him, Lumma panicked. She nodded and then shook her head. “I’m not.”

“Really?” Adam clearly didn’t believe what she said, but he closed his eyes again without asking further.

No matter what the rumors said, Lumma couldn’t deny that Adam would smile softly when mentioning his wife. No matter how busy he was at work, he would find time to choose gifts for his wife and would protect his subordinates….

Lumma thought, “I’m his assistant, not his enemy. Why should I be afraid of him?”

After thinking this through, she heaved a sigh of relief and closed her eyes to rest.

The plane soon flew stably. When Lumma fell into a drowsy sleep, she vaguely heard a gloomy voice. “Do you think I’m frivolous? Or do you think I am a man you can get?”

The voice was so cold that it made Lumma shudder. When she opened her eyes, she saw the flight attendant who wanted to accost Adam take back her phone in embarrassment.

Adam had a good appearance and money. Although he couldn’t stop all kinds of temptations from falling on him, he could always resist all kinds of temptations, which was very rare.

Lumma was curious about what kind of woman Adam’s wife was, who could make him never look at other women.

After two and a half hours, they arrived in Red Pine City. They went straight to the company and started to get busy again.

In addition to being busy with company affairs, Lumma also had to be responsible for Adam’s personal affairs, including buying flowers, booking restaurants, and arranging after-dinner entertainment, etc.

Lumma was very careful about the arrangements this time. After all, whether Adam’s wife wassatisfied with the appointment directly affected Adam’s mood, and his mood affected her work.

After getting off work, Lumma handed over the flowers to Adam and watched him get in the car and leave the company, which meant she had finished her work today.

When she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take a taxi home, Ruby sent a message to the WhatsApp group. [Worm, we’re going to eat salad tonight. Bring a salad dressing from the shop downstairs when you get home.]

Lumma: [Okay.] Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When Adam’s car drove to Lumma’s residence, Catherine called him.

“Adam, you went abroad to work after you married, and you didn’t care about your wife. I was too embarrassed to see Lumma this year. If you don’t pick her up, I’m really going to be mad at you.”

Catherine said a lot, but Adam only caught one important point. “Grandma, what is her name again?”

Catherine yelled angrily, “Lumma! Lumma Louis! You brat. You don’t even remember your wife’s name. You really want to drive me crazy!”

“Lumma?” Adam repeated the name, and Lumma’s fair face appeared in his mind.

No wonder he felt Lumma’s name sounded familiar on the day of choosing a new assistant. Adam thought Lumma had the same name as his wife.

He said with a smile, “Grandma, I’m on the way to pick her up. When I pick her up, I’ll bring her to see you.”

Catherine was overjoyed. “You have to keep your word this time. If you can’t pick her up, don’t come to see me. Lumma is really a good girl. You’re lucky to marry her. You should cherish her.”

Adam and his wife met once on the day of getting married. They didn’t say a few words. He didn’t know her, but he believed in Catherine. Since they were married, Adam decided to treat Lumma well.

He nodded. “Okay.”

After finishing the call, the driver drove the car and parked outside the apartment complex where Lumma lived. “Mr. Hills, we’re here. Do you want me to pick up Mrs. Hills or…”

“She’s my wife. Of course, I will pick her up.” Adam got off the car. He held the roses and walked towards the apartment.

There were a lot of tenants in this apartment complex, so the entrance guard was not strict. Adam’s aura might be too strong, so the security guards let him in without asking.

Adam found the first unit in the tenth building and took the elevator directly to the fifth floor. He came to Lumma’s door and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened. A topless man wearing floral shorts appeared at the door. “How can I help you?”

The man was holding the doorknob in one hand and a T-shirt in the other. His hair was still a little wet, as if he had just taken a shower.

Adam raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Does Lumma live here?”

The man nodded in confusion. “Yes.”

Adam’s voice turned cold. “Who are you?”

Before the man could answer, a soft female voice came from behind him. “Harry, who is it?”

Immediately afterward, a delicate face appeared within Adam’s sight.

The woman was wearing home clothes, and her hair was wet. Adam could tell she had just come out of the bathroom. Judging by their wet hair and dress, Adam knew they were not just taking a bath.

She stretched her neck to look out. When she saw Adam, her eyes lit up. “Who are you? Who are you looking for?”

Adam looked coldly at the woman in front of him. It was a completely strange face, but it was also his legal wife.

She hooked up with other men and didn’t even recognize him…
