The Billionaire’s Surrogate Wife

“Now, quickly tell me, for what purpose did you suddenly come to the orphanage?”

After eating lunch, Ariana immediately pulled Samuel towards the terrace without wasting any time. He wanted to clarify the intent and purpose of the man’s visit today.

“It doesn’t mean anything. Yes, I want to be a donor to this orphanage.”

“Lie!” snapped Ariana. “Surely all of this has to do with your request the other day, right?”

Ariana’s guess was right. Axton advised Samuel to visit the orphanage immediately and offered to become a regular donor to attract Ariana’s attention.

However, one of the orphanages approached before he had time to answer or respond. Instead of coming to Ariana, he deliberately chose Samuel to talk to.

“Handsome brother, thank you for the food and stationery,” said the 8-year-old girl named Alula. “But this pink one, how to use it?”

Alula then handed Samuel a pink rotary shaving with a pony motif. They ignorantly asked the man to teach them how to use the object.

“So you don’t know how to use it?”

Alula shook her head innocently. Samuel smiled. Then afterward took the pencil that the girl had been holding.

“You pay close attention. Let my sister help teach you how to use it. So, you press the two buttons at the front together. Then, insert the pencil you want to sharpen.”

Samuel then demonstrated what she described. Start inserting the pencil into the sharpener hole. Make sure the position is right and ready to be sharpened.

“If it fits, all you have to do is turn the lever behind it like this.”

Samuel then turned the lever a few times. Having had enough, the man stopped what he was doing. Then slowly withdrew the sharpened pencil and gave it to Alula.

“Here, the pencil. How easy is it to use?”

“It turned out easy. Thanks a lot, handsome brother, for helping explain.”

“You’re welcome. I hope the stationery is useful.”

In her seat, Ariana seemed silent, seeing what Samuel did to Alula. If usually Ariana often saw how curt the man was when she was in the office. This time, it was as if he saw another side of Samuel Walters.

From the start, the boss was friendly. He didn’t hesitate to reply to Alula’s chatter with a warm attitude. Though, the two of them didn’t know each other before.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Sir, back to our discussion,” Ariana said after a long silence. “What business does Mr. Samuel have to bother coming here?”

Samuel flashed a smile. For God’s sake, Ariana could swear that her boss’s handsomeness increased 100 times when he smiled like now. She had worked at Palma and recently became Samuel’s secretary. Had she never seen her boss smile as sweetly as she does now?

“Don’t you already know why I’m here? Yes, of course, because I want to be a permanent donor to the orphanage.”

“I’m tired of hearing that, sir,” said Ariana. “I’m sure you have other reasons for coming here.”

Samuel smiled again. However, the expression on his face that had been relaxed slowly turned serious. Ariana was sure her boss would say something.

“I still hope you will change your mind, Ariana.”

“Sir! I have often explained that I don’t want to participate in all the games Mr. Samuel will design in the future.”

“Please, Ariana,” Samuel said softly. A sad expression appeared on the man’s handsome face. He puts his ego aside to convince Ariana by begging his secretary to devise an idea. “I need your help. Whatever the conditions you submit, I will try to do it. The important thing is that you want to help me just this once.”

Ariana fell silent again. She looked at Samuel’s face again. She saw the helpless man, wishing desperately for Ariana’s heart to soften and accept his plan.

“How much do you dare to pay? In this world, nothing is free, you know.”

Samuel, who had been sitting limply, immediately looked up. He stared intently, then soon spoke in a low tone.

“Pay? Won’t you get much money after becoming an adviser and head of tenders?”

Ariana nodded her head.

“That’s true. But the money I get in the future is the right to work that I did, sir. Then, what is the compensation from you for me? It’s really good for me to help you, but you can’t get anything. Later something will happen something. Instead, I’m the one who’s made the scapegoat again like before. That’s why I need comparable compensation. If you agree, we’ll continue. Feel free to go home if you don’t want to.”

Samuel closed his eyes. Inwardly he swore loudly, why do you have to deal with a smart and worldly woman like Ariana? But what else can I do? He needed her help. There was no other choice he could make.

“Okay, I will pay you according to demand.”

“Deals!” said Ariana while reviewing a wide smile. “Then, we go to the notary as soon as possible.”
