The secretary who became a billionaire's wife
Chapter 20

Phoebe's POV

"Sure I'll eat," I say.

And he smiles, I'm very sure he's happy I want to eat.

"Okay," he looks around for the nearest waiter and whispers something into his ears.

As the waiter leaves he looks at me and smiles, I can't help but wonder why he is smiling and his smile was so contagious that I also began to smile without knowing. "What?" I ask, looking at him.

"Nothing," he says, massaging his jaw with his thumb.

I wonder what he told the waiter that's making him so happy, and he is just giggling like a child.

Soon I see three waiters coming with their tray of food at hand and I don't know what to expect.

I just stay afloat cause I don't know what Ethan's plan is but I believe he can't hurt me, the waiters drop the food in front of me.

They drop three plates in front of me and I open the first one and my jaw dropped, it was a baked pork tenderloin i had never seen anyone more inviting and yummy as this in my life, the pork was tightly arranged simultaneously at edge of HI the plate that made a C curve on the plate, and inside it was the vegetables salad, additional flavor came from the shaved fresh vegetables dressed in a lemony vinaigrette.

I opened the other plate and it was a herb-crusted roasted leg of a lamb, oh my God this guy was really prepared for today.

I opened the next one and it was a cast-iron cacciatore. The colorful cacciatore looks beautiful on top of the bed of pasta. The flavors of pork chops and mushrooms, red onions, bell peppers, carrots, marry together in one cast iron pan. When I was coming here I thought It would just be straight to business and leave but it seems like I kept mistaking his personality in my head.

He's really a good guy, I raise my head to look at him still chuckling but then something catches my eye, he doesn't have any food in front of him, "Aren't you eating?" I ask him.

"I don't feel so hungry but if you want to feed me I have no problem with that honestly," he says sincerely.

What's his plan? I ask myself wondering why he is doing all this, I thought we were going to have a professional meeting.

I push one plate to him, "Okay," he shrugs, folding his sleeves to eat, he takes one spoon and begins to munch on the food I gave him.

I take one spoon and unwrap it from the serviette and I am shocked by what I see next, The gold spoon was customized with my name.

In my life I've never felt this way. I have never felt this way because Ethan is treating me like a queen. Tears threaten to fall from my eyes, but I close my eyes, pushing them back. "Why are you doing all this?" I can't help but know why, is there something he is grooming me for or this is how he feels about me, Special?

"I just wanted to make you happy, Did I do anything wrong?" He asks his voice and his expression showing concern.

"Thank you," I say, but this time I couldn't hold back the tears. I bend my head and he reaches out for my hand on the table, "it's okay dear," he tells me.

He must have spent so much to make me happy, I don't know how much a customized gold spoon costs but one thing I know is that it costs a lot.

One of the waiters brings one bottle of wine, Ethan opens it and pours some into the glass cup also provided, and he gives me one.

We didn't talk for a while because we were respecting the table manners which I don't respect in my house, and after a while we were done eating.

"Thank you," I mutter, I use the serviette to clean my mouth, "You're so welcome," he says smiling.

I guess we are done with one phase. Let's go to the other, "What about the contract you talked about yesterday, or have you changed your mind?" I ask immediately.

"No, I brought it with me," he says, putting his hand under the table.

He brings out the file and places it on the table, "Can I see it?" I ask him.

"Sure," he hands me the file, and I open it.

"So let me brief you a bit on the the details of the contract, it's an agreement that after signing it you get the Job as my executive secretary and you will be paid well, secondly, You won't be able to resign if you sign the contract until after 5 years or else you'll pay the fine of 3 million dollars, as my executive secretary you'll be taking care of my appointments and meetings for the day, you'll fill in for me in places I can't be present and you'll be loyal for the company to move to greater heights." He states.

I look at him, there's nothing I can't handle in what he just said, I don't plan on resigning anytime soon. This is a great opportunity to showcase my skills.

I suffered so much to make sure I graduated from college and I haven't been given an opportunity to work in a firm. I need this job and for me it isn't a hard task. I just hope this goes well between us.
