The billionaire's wife

Chapter 3

As soon as she was sure he could not see her anymore, Hime got behind the wheel. her car and spread her lips in the widest possible smile, and then happily shifted in the soft, leather seat, imitating the movements of the victory dance. "Thank God. Finally, ”she whispered into her chin. The irresistible duke was her ticket to the world of the rich. Ever since she founded the Alliance agency, she has dreamed of wealthy clients like Rick Slotter knocking on her door - millionaires who needed a woman to make their greatest wishes come true. She mostly found women for men who did not have time to court, or simply did not want to go through a long process of dating and falling in love. They did not need love, but company. Some needed a woman just to get her mistress out of the door, who insisted on putting a wedding ring on her arm. So far, with her dedicated work, she has gained many recommendations and built a business that brought her a stable income, but only enough to survive. However, with Slotter's substantial financial opportunities, he will be able to pay most of his expenses in at least another two or three years. At least she hoped so. Being a multimillionaire himself, Slotter did not need his late father's money. But it would be a shame to allow his bank account, with a figure large enough to buy a small state, to fall into the wrong hands, such as the cousin he mentioned, or to be used by charities, which have been rocked by big money for years. financial scandals. In that case, Sherlock Holmes would not be able to find out in whose pockets the money ended up, or who got away with it. Hime knew firsthand how money intended for the vulnerable could easily fall into the hands of greedy people. Slotter's situation was quite different from the ones he had faced so far, primarily because of his flattering aristocratic title. She will have to comb the list of possible candidates well and choose the ones for which she will be able to guarantee that she will not get carried away as she will one day become duchess. However, when an irresistible look is added to Slotter's title, these women should be blind so that they do not want anything more from that man than money and a noble title. The pictures she saw in the magazines did not show how handsome Rick really was. She had always looked up at men at six feet five, but Rick was at least eighty-five feet tall and had extremely muscular shoulders. She saw his photos from Tahiti in a tabloid and, although he was in a suit, one could guess what was hiding under him. Even today, when he entered the cafe, all heads turned towards him, but he did not notice it at all. He just walked in and crossed the room looking for the person he was supposed to meet. If any other client had entered, she would have got up immediately and approached him, but this time she stayed in her place to regain her composure. His penetrating grayish-blue eyes and strong jaw gave off a firm character from which even her, otherwise always cold and calm, knees were locked. His appearance will be a problem, Hime concluded. It would be best for that woman, whom he chooses to be his wife, to live in one country and he in another. There is hardly a living female being who would not be tempted to sleep with him near him. Hime took her mobile smartphone from her handbag and referred to her assistant.. "Alliance, please. You got Eliza. ”“ Hey, it is me. ”“ How did it go? ”Eliza asked openly. "It is great. Did you review all the files and call the candidates? ”“ I did. At the moment, only Joanna is not available to us. ”Hime remembered the tall brunette. "Really? And why? ”“ Apparently she has a boyfriend. ”That can really be a barrier to marrying another man. And yet, even without Joanna, there were three more perfect candidates. Provided he likes one of the three, Hime will fulfill his request to find him a wife by Wednesday. . Today is only Monday. "Too bad for her." "Are you coming to the office?" "I have a few more chores to do, so I will come." "Bring me something for lunch." . "Since I am the owner of the agency, should not you bring me lunch?" She joked.

"It should not be, since the owner is not in the office all day and then I have to answer the phone." Office - what a joke. Hime used an empty room in her house in a poor part of town for that purpose. I laughed. "I will be there in about half an hour." "But before that, call the moon urgently." Hime straightened in her seat. "Why? Is something wrong? ”She asked in panic, feeling her stomach cramp with worry. "Nothing urgent. Jordan will not eat again, at least not as much as he should. They said it would be good for you to stop by. ”Himena sighed loudly and consciously relaxed her shoulders. "All right." She will have to postpone her afternoon duties to visit her younger sister, who has been in a long-term care facility for a long time. The last time Jordan stopped eating, she ended up in the hospital due to an infection that affected her entire bloodstream. Hime hoped that her sister was just depressed, not sick, and that she refused to eat because of that depression. Unfortunately, due to depression, she tried to commit suicide, but she did not die, she ended up with a stroke. "I will be a little late, but if you can bear the hunger, wait, I will get us lunch." "Let me know if you stay long." Thanks. ”Hime hung up and steered the car toward the moon. Her sister's stay in that exclusive private health institution cost her one hundred thousand dollars a year, and that is exactly why she needed the income from the contract with Rick Slotter. She was a month late with the payment of her own bills, while she always sent checks for the Moon with a delay of a week or two. She had to finish that job with the millionaire in order not to go bankrupt, which is why she would have to transfer her sister to a state institution. She knew that no one there would take care of her properly and that in less than a month she would probably get pressure ulcers or some kind of infection. No, we must not allow that at all! He would rather sell all his property and live in a car than allow that to happen. Remembering the duke, Hime knew that it was not realistic for him to get into so much trouble. If he did not get married by the end of the month, he could easily lose three hundred million dollars from his father's estate, which meant that Rick would surely cut his purse and pay a hefty sum to both his future bride and her agency, which would allow her to emerges from the danger zone and lives safe for a while. She just needs to provide him with a good choice of women and make

sure none of them arouse suspicion in him. Cakewalk. At least she hoped so.
