Chapter 2

Fortunately, all the reporters didn't pay attention to me, so I had a little time to adjust my mood and completed the work smoothly.

The public relations department was well prepared and all departments cooperated well, so the new product launch event was held satisfactorily.

As soon as the new CEO and his group left, Joseph Pratt squeezed over and said, "Jane Dench, don't think I didn't notice that. You did it on purpose just now and successfully attracted the attention of our new CEO."

I frowned slightly, turned around and said to Ammy Winslet, "manager, I'm going back to the sales department."

Looking at the back of Jane Dench, Joseph Pratt stamped her feet in anger. "How could she ignore me? Why is she so arrogant?"

Ammy Winslet glared at Joseph Pratt and said, "work hard, or you won't work anymore."

Glaring at Jane Dench, Joseph Pratt held back her anger and said, "I see, cousin."

As soon as I returned to the office of the sales department, I heard that colleagues in the same department were discussing about the new CEO. They were gossiping about whether the new CEO was single or not, and several female colleagues were blushing.

I didn't get involved in it. I finished my work with trepidation and didn't leave the company until everyone in the office left. I really didn't know how to face him.

Ben Roberts' apartment was not far from the company. There were only three bus stops, and I would arrive there in about half an hour. In order to avoid meeting Ben Roberts, I not only walked home, but also went to the supermarket to buy vegetables and slowly returned to the apartment. Unexpectedly, Ben Roberts had just arrived.

"You are back." I walked over and tried to greet him in the most common way.

"Okay." Ben Roberts looked back at me with an indifferent expression.

All of a sudden, he reached out a hand to me. Instinctively, I took a small step back to keep a distance from him.

"I'll take it." He said lightly. He didn't get angry because I accidentally kept a distance from him. Instead, he casually took the bag in my hand.

I felt my face burning. He just wanted to help me carry the bags, but I was lost.

Back home, Ben Roberts put the items into the kitchen and said indifferently, "I'm not good at cooking. Thank you for your help tonight."

"Go ahead with your work. I'll handle the cooking." I've been rented an apartment for the past 2 years, so I'm good at cooking.

"Thank you!" He said lightly.

"You're welcome." I forced a smile and smiled awkwardly.

We are already a couple, but we get along like two strangers.

When they were having dinner, they were also silent, and the atmosphere was dull for a moment.

I tried several times to find a topic to talk about, but all failed. After dinner, Ben Roberts offered to wash the dishes. I nodded with a smile. After all, it felt good to have someone do the housework together. Although it could be seen from the clumsy look of Ben Roberts that he had never done such a thing before, it was normal. After all, he was a CEO of a company. How could he do such a thing.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Ben Roberts returned to the living room and saw me in a daze. "Jane Dench."

"Ah..." Ben Roberts called out my name, feeling a little shy.

Ben Roberts sat down on the sofa on the other side and said, "I have something to talk to you."

"Okay." I replied. I also want to have a talk with him and take this opportunity to make it clear. I really don't know him.

Ben Roberts nodded and said slowly, "Jane Dench, I'm in the company today..."

"I understand. We have a clear distinction between public and private interests." I interrupted Ben Roberts before he could finish his words.

Ben Roberts said calmly, "I didn't mean to hide my work from you."

"I know." I nodded and said, "it's because I don't want to bring my personal life to work." It took me 2 years to achieve my current achievements in this company. I still want to rely on my own efforts to continue to climb up. I don't want to change because of Ben Roberts.

Looking at the firm look, Ben Roberts said, "I just took over the company. After I finish my work, I want to visit my parents in law with you." He sounded calm as if he had expected that the Jane Dench hadn't mentioned it to his family.

"No, thanks." I refused directly, but I felt that my attitude was a little bad, so I quickly explained, "something happened between me and my family, and I haven't contacted them for a long time. Let's talk about it later."

Home? 2 years ago, that house was no longer mine. I can't go back anymore.

"Jane Dench." Ben Roberts called out my name and added, "I'm your family now."

These words were not honeyed words, but made me cry.

"We are a couple now. I sincerely want to spend the rest of my life with you."

I didn't expect Ben Roberts to say that. I was stunned again. Looking up at him and meeting his sincere eyes, I said, "I have also made up my mind to live with you for the rest of my life."

Ben Roberts stared at me for a few seconds and said, "then Jane Dench, can you promise me not to break up with me easily no matter what happens?"

"Okay!" I will try my best to be a qualified wife. "

Chapter 3

Jane Dench's Pov

The two of us looked at each othe. Once again, the atmosphere was awkward because we couldn't find a topic to talk about.

"How about you go ahead with your work? I have something to deal with." I think I'm kind of open-minded. But somehow, I don't know what to do when I meet him.

"Okay." Ben Roberts nodded and walked towards the study.

I rubbed my stiff neck and stood up to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw him coming out of the bathroom.

"It's getting late. Go to bed." He said in an indifferent tone. Then he turned around and entered the room without looking at me.

I was at a loss. It seems that he is going to sleep with me tonight.

But, but I don't think I can accept him in my heart.

It took me half an hour to get out of the bathroom. I specially found a pair of long sleeve pajamas and wrapped myself tightly.

"Go to sleep." He was already in bed, lying on the right side of the bed, leaving the left seat for me.

"Oh, okay..." I was so nervous that I stuttered and my palms were sweating.

The bed is two meters wide. There is still a distance between us, but I just feel that I am tightly surrounded by his masculine aura.

"I'm going to bed. Good night!" I closed my eyes immediately, hoping to fall asleep as soon as possible. However, the more she didn't want to think too much, the more things I thought, and the more awake I was.

Will he do something to me when I'm asleep?

Perhaps he sensed my nervousness, he suddenly reached out and rubbed my head. "Jane Dench. Although we are a legal couple, I won't force you to do something you don't want to do."

His voice was still as sexy and pleasant as usual, but I could vaguely sense some laughter. For a moment, my ears were even red.

Could this man not be so sensitive?

With his promise, I gradually relaxed my tense nerves and fell asleep soon.

When I woke up, it was already 8 o'clock. What happened? Was the alarm broken!

"You woke up." Ben Roberts's low and sexy voice rang in the room. "I thought it was still early, so I turned off your alarm clock and let you sleep a little longer."

When I heard his voice, I realized there was another person in the room. I ran into the bathroom shyly.

"Breakfast is ready. I'm waiting for you." His low and deep voice came from behind. I don't know how to react for a moment.

Ben Roberts's POV

She was as cute as a frightened rabbit. Is this Jane Dench really the smart girl who poured the coffee on me 2 years ago

After she washed her fac, she had changed her working clothes. The shirt and short skirt were very suitable for her, which made her feel very sexy as a workplace woman.

I quickly looked away and sat down to have breakfast quietly.

Therefore, after I took office as the president, the first order I gave was to change the working clothes of the female employees and change the short skirt into suit pants.

Jane Dench's Pov

"Oh my God! The food is so rich. You told me last night that you couldn't cook. You could make such delicious breakfast in one night. You are so amazing

Did you do all these?"

She seemed to have read my mind. "It's from my aunt."

"Yummy!" It was not only beautiful, but also delicious. I cheered in surprise. It's just what I like.

"If you like it earlier, I'll ask people to prepare it in the future." Ben Roberts said with a smile.

"In fact, you don't have to be so troublesome."

Ben Roberts picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth and said indifferently, "you are my wife."

"Okay." I didn't say anything more, because his reason captured my heart.

I'm his wife, he's my husband, and we'll live together for the rest of our lives.

I have experienced it deeply. So he offered to drive me to work, but I refused without hesitation. If my colleagues see it, I may not be able to stay in the company anymore.

Although we didn't take his car, we arrived at the company about the same time.

When I was waiting for the elevator with a group of people, he was also escorted by two special assistants to the president's exclusive elevator.

I wanted to pretend that I didn't see him, but I didn't think it was appropriate, so I greeted politely with a group of people, "good morning!"

"Okay!" Ben Roberts replied indifferently. He glanced around and walked into the elevator, leaving everyone a cold back.

I feel a little funny to see his performance. The Oscar owes him a big prize, but it's very charming and scrupulous in separating public from private interests!

As soon as I entered the office, I entered the working state. Although yesterday's press conference was very successful, it was only a successful beginning. I still have a lot of work to do, and I did it at the meal time. In the past, I would eat some bread casually to deal with lunch, but he called me. I looked around and found no one around, then carefully answered the phone. "What's up?"

He said, "I'm in room 8 of Rose Restaurant."

By instinct, I nodded and said, "then you eat. I won't disturb you anymore."

"Jane Dench!" His tone was obviously a little heavier, which startled me. A few seconds later, he said, "I'll wait for you."

"No..." by instinct, I wanted to refuse, but before I could say anything, he had already hung up. I don't want the relationship to become more stiff. I quietly left the company. The Rose Restaurant is a high-end hotel, and I can't afford it at all. I prayed in my heart that I wouldn't meet an acquaintance. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the hotel, I ran into the special assistant of Ben Roberts, Sara Hollander.

I tried to pretend that I didn't see him, but he stopped me. "Ms.Dench. Mr.Ben asked me to pick you up."

I smiled awkwardly and quickly caught up with Sara Hollander.

When I arrived at room, I saw another special assistant of Ben Roberts, Royal Awad.

He stood up and took my coat. Then he pulled out a chair for me to sit down and said, "I have worked for me for many years, and I know everything."

I nodded without saying anything. I just took a few more glances at Sara Hollander and Royal Awad. After his introduction, he signaled the two of them to go out. When they went out, I felt a little relaxed. It felt like they were having an affair.

Ben Roberts said. "I've been doing business these years, so I've been followed by some people."

Hearing his explanation, I was relieved. With a shy smile, I said, "well, I can understand."

In the morning, a housemaid made breakfast and sent it here. Accompanied by capable people like Royal Awad and Sara Hollander, my husband's background is probably far more complicated than I imagined.

"How about having lunch with me in the future?"

His tone was a little domineering, but I don't hate it. I raised my head and smiled at him. "Thank you for your concern, but..."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "since you call me president, do you want to listen to what the new president says to you?"

This man is trying to suppress me with his identity so soon.

But I can't find anything to refute!

I didn't know why I agreed to his request and finally ran away.

Chapter 4

Ben Roberts's Pov

Was this woman so scared.

These dishes were carefully prepared. I don't know if she has eaten well. This servant has been in charge of my diet since I was a child. She knows my taste best. But it seems that she likes spicy food very much. It seems that I should ask the sevant to prepare more spicy dishes. My taste is too light, and maybe she doesn't like it.

Jane Dench's Pov

I ran out of the hotel in a hurry. Fortunately, no one found out that the CEO was my husband. It's so ridiculous. I'm thinking, if I knew his identity from the beginning, would I still marry him?

But it's useless for me to struggle now. I'd better prepare for the report this afternoon.

After the press conference, there was a report meeting to introduce the projects in hand to the new president. I was not nervous at ordinary times, but today I was unprecedentedly nervous. Although my colleagues had always comforted me that I would do well, I was the leader of the team for this project, and I was the most responsible person. I must not let my team members down. Besides, this is the first project I've been working on since Ben Roberts took office. In addition to making achievements at work, I also want to leave a good impression on my husband. I can't let him look down upon me when I live with him in the future.

I am the team leader of this project, so after everyone is here, I will naturally introduce the details of this project's preparation.

Because of my hard work, many details were personally done by me. At the beginning, I was nervous, but after that, my report became more and more smooth. At the end, I received a burst of applause.

When I bent down to express my thanks, I sensitively felt a pair of inquiring eyes fall on me. I looked up and found it was really him

Later, he also personally confirmed the work of their group, and this meeting was a success. My pressure was instantly relieved and I was in a much better mood.

When the meeting was over, the members of the project team were so excited that they forgot the managers for a while. They said as they walked.

With one hand on the shoulder, Justin Davis said, "Jane Dench, if we can get the recognition of the new CEO, we will be rich."

I nodded with a smile and said, "as long as we work together, nothing is impossible."

"Jane Dench!"

Suddenly, Sara Hollander's voice came from behind, making my body a little stiff. Then I turned around and politely said, "what can I do for you?"

"Jane Dench, Mr Roberts has some details to tell you." After saying that, I followed her. Although the other team members were confused, they didn't dare to say anything because it was the CEO who looked for me.

After entering the office, only he and I were there.

Ben Roberts's Pov

This woman really makes me at a loss. I don't know why I would do such a childish thing. When I saw that man put his hand on her shoulder, I actually let Sara Hollander help me do such a thing. It's so shameful.

But now seeing her innocent face, my anger came back. I approached her.

"Jane Dench..."

Subconsciously, she took two more steps back to keep a distance from me. "Mr.Roberts, what can I do for you?"

"I'm just Ben Roberts, your husband."

"Mr.Roberts, this is office hours."

Hearing his words, I frowned slightly and was a little angry.

But my good education and cultivation prevented me from showing my anger easily.

After a while, I said seriously, "Jane Dench. Although I know you have nothing to do with that man, I will be jealous when I see him holding you intimately. As your husband, I will be jealous."

Obviously, she didn't expect that I would say such words to her. She blushed and looked a little cute. "Mr.Roberts, don't worry. This won't happen again." Then she ran away like a little rabbit, which made me love and hate.

"Mr.Roberts, there are a few documents you need to read." Sara Hollander's sudden appearance in the office brought me back to work. But I'm still curious about women's thoughts, so I asked, "are all women so strong minded?"

Sara Hollander was stunned for a moment, and then responded, "Jane Dench has experienced such injuries and betrayal. She has been helpless for the past 2 years. If she is not strong enough, who can she show weakness to?"

Jane Dench's POV

I ran away. When I returned to my office, I felt that my face was still red.

It was an internal email reminder. I clicked it and found that it was from him. He declared that he was married to all the employees!

I can't help feeling sweet in my heart.

He said he would be jealous when he saw other men being close to me. Now he told everyone that he was married. I was so happy that I couldn't help laughing.

Today I have to cook my best dishes for him to make him happy.

As soon as I got off work, I went to the supermarket to buy some food. When he came back, I had already cooked it.

I stared at him and wanted to see his expression.

But he was expressionless, so I didn't say anything. I silently handed him the forx,

Ben Roberts also didn't like to talk at the table, so the atmosphere was very quiet for a moment.

After dinner, he was responsible for washing the dishes. I said nothing and turned back to my room.

I know we are not that close, but I still feel sad when I see no expression on his face. But on second thought, this marriage was a marriage without any emotional foundation, just for marriage.

Although we are already a couple, the two of us don't know each other well. It's my fault to be too sentimental. I must pay attention to my own behavior in the future.
