Billionaire’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Marry Me

Seraphina thought, ‘Looks like I have to be careful when dealing with a person like him.’

Seraphina then cut to the chase. “I know your company sent a team to participate in this season’s

perfumery competition that will be held tonight. I have developed a new perfume and I hope I can join

the team of your company.”

“The perfumes have been determined,” Dashiell said slowly.

Seraphina knew that. “But there can be more than one entry. I just want to add one, not to replace

any…”

“Why should I trust you?” Dashiell interrupted Seraphina, asking directly.

Seraphina quickly opened the bag and took out a stack of documents. “These are the data and

formulas of the perfume I developed. It is called First Love. I showed you my sincerity. As for the quality

of the perfume…”

Seraphina paused for a moment. “Mr. Martinez, you sent me an invitation three years ago. I believe you

trust my abilities. In fact, I also brought a sample today.”

“A sample?” Dashiell’s expression finally changed a little. He raised his eyebrows and seemed to be

interested.

Seraphina nodded and suddenly reached out her hand to Dashiell.

A faint sweet fragrance floated over with her movements, and the smell was fragrant but not strong.

Dashiell fixed his eyes on the hand in front of him quietly. It was clean and slender with well-defined

knuckles.

As the sweet smell flew into Dashiell’s nose, Dashiell seemed to be obsessed with it. Even his heart

softened.

“I am confident that I can at least have a place among the top three in the preliminary, which is

undoubtedly the icing on the cake for Apex Corporation.”

After that, Seraphina naturally withdrew her hand. Unexpectedly, her hand was grabbed by Dashiell.

Dashiell held Seraphina’s wrist in a way that would not cause any pain to Seraphina but meanwhile

make it hard for Seraphina to get rid of his grip.

“An icing on the cake? Do you think Apex Corporation cares about it?” Dashiell asked.

“This is just a meeting gift. Mr. Martinez, if you think it’s not enough, how about I give the whole

copyright of the perfume I develop in the next two years to Apex Corporation?” Seraphina replied.

Seraphina knew well that Dashiell would not agree so readily. But as long as he was willing to talk

about it, there were chances for her to reach a deal.

The clock was ticking. Seraphina couldn’t find a more suitable partner besides Dashiell.

“It’s indeed not enough.”

Dashiell released his grip on Seraphina’s wrist. There was still a faint trace of fragrance on his

fingertips.

Dashiell lowered his eyes and hid the shrewdness in his eyes. He said, “Unless… plus you.”

“Me?” Seraphina didn’t understand it.

“Have you got everything I asked you to bring?” Dashiell asked suddenly.

“Yes, I have.”

Although Seraphina didn’t understand what Dashiell was going to do, she took those things with her

before leaving her apartment.

“Marry me, and I’ll help you solve your problem.”

At this moment, Seraphina’s jaw dropped.

She thought, ‘W-What did he say? Marry him? Me?’

Only then did Seraphina notice that City Hall was right opposite the car. She thought, ‘So from the

beginning, he wanted to get a marriage license and that was why he asked me here with those things?

Is he serious?’

“You don’t want to? Then you can leave now.” Dashiell opened the door casually and motioned for

Seraphina to make a decision as soon as possible.

Afraid of being kicked out, Seraphina grabbed the door handle and said hurriedly, “I didn’t say no.”

“Then I’ll take it as a yes.”

Dashiell smiled and stood up. “Let’s go and finish the formalities. I have a meeting at ten-thirty.”

Seraphina was lost for words.

Seraphina thought, ‘Ha, looks like he doesn’t even want to lose one more second talking about

marriage which is actually a big thing for most people.’

Holding the door with her hand, Seraphina stared at Dashiell. Her breathing was a little short. “May I

ask why?”

Seraphina wondered why Dashiell chose her and why he needed to marry now.

“It is just a business deal, isn’t it? You need someone to help you deal with Prosperian Company and I

need a wife. I think it’s fair.”

Dashiell said that in a relaxed tone as if it was a natural thing. The teasing smile in his eyes looked NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

familiar, but Seraphina just couldn’t think of where she had seen it.

Seraphina’s train of thought ran swiftly. She thought, ‘Anyway, I will have nothing to do with that

scumbag Julian in the future. Considering Dashiell’s identity and status, I won’t suffer a loss no matter

what he wants from this marriage.’

Seraphina’s eyes became firm. “Deal!”

All Seraphina wanted now was revenge.

The formalities were not complicated. Besides, both Seraphina and Dashiell had complete certificates.

Therefore, they soon go through all the formalities.

After they walked out of City Hall, Dashiell carefully put away the marriage license and put on

sunglasses to hide the smile in his eyes. Seraphina trotted to catch up with Dashiell, panting. “Mr.

Martinez, about the cooperation…”

Dashiell stopped abruptly and turned around.

Even though the sunglasses covered Dashiell’s eyes, she could still feel his piercing gaze. She

subconsciously loosened her grip on Dashiell’s clothes.

“From now on, you should get used to your new identity as ‘Mrs. Martinez’,” said Dashiell.

He wrapped his arm around Seraphina’s waist. They were so close that Seraphina could even feel

Dashiell’s breath.

Seraphina was absent for a moment.

“Give Brayan Warren the information and samples of the perfume. He will arrange everything.”

Dashiell released his hand and got into the car again. Seraphina followed but didn’t get in.

“Mrs. Martinez, do you have any questions?”

Dashiell turned to look at Seraphina. His phone was buzzing, waiting for him to press the answer

button.

“Well… H-Honey, can we not announce our marriage for the time being?” Seraphina’s cheeks

reddened. She didn’t want to waste Dashiell’s time. She said quickly, “I have something personal to

handle. I will deal with it soon.”

As Dashiell was wearing sunglasses, Seraphina couldn’t see Dashiell’s eyes clearly, which made it

impossible for her to tell his mood at the moment.

“Find me at Apex Corporation before 5 p.m.”

After that, Dashiell pressed the answer button on his phone and then put the phone beside his ear.

“Yes, it’s me.”

Seraphina nodded, closed the door for Dashiell, and watched the car leave, but she couldn’t be

relieved. She had a tough battle to fight next.

Seraphina went to eat something and then bought a new suit before driving slowly to Prosperian

Company. During this period, Julian called her dozens of times but she didn’t answer any of them.

As soon as the car stopped, Jake Miller, Julian’s secretary, walked over and said anxiously, “Ms. Jones,

you are finally here. Mr. Brown has been looking for you like crazy.”

It had been three years since Seraphina started working for Julian. But she was just a technician and

Julian didn’t give her any title.

Seraphina walked steadily towards the company and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know. Mr. Brown is anxious.” Jake shook his head.

In fact, in the company, besides Julian, Vivian, and Seraphina’s closest assistant, no one knew that all

of Prosperian Company’s perfumes driving its sales to record highs were made by Seraphina.

Everyone thought that Vivian was a great heroine and the pillar of Prosperian Company.

Seraphina didn’t care about these titles before. Now… she wouldn’t even pay a little bit of attention to

them.

As soon as Seraphina arrived at the door of the CEO’s office, she heard Julian roar, “You are with her

every day. How could you not know where she is? Pay attention to your attitude, Emily Wilson. Don’t

think you can do anything because you have Seraphina backing you. Believe it or not, I can fire you at

any time!”

There then came a bang. Julian hung up the phone and threw it on the table in anger. Seraphina

frowned.

Seraphina thought, ‘So Julian vented his anger on my assistant Emily because he couldn’t find me?’

Seraphina knocked on the door and pushed it open. Jake didn’t go in but closed the door from outside.

Bang! A cup smashed directly at Seraphina’s feet, and a broken piece even brushed her feet. Julian

asked with fury, “Where have you been all morning?”
