Billionaires with Benefits

84 84. Yamaguchi

William hesitated. Actually, he wanted to use the rest of the money to run his own start-up. However, on the other hand, he felt very guilty about Lea because his ex-girlfriend desperately needed help. If he couldn’t give his love, he better gives the money he had to help her, no?

Without further thought, William finally sent money to Lea’s account. The amount was much less than what she asked. But he hoped Lea could find a way to cover the rest.

That afternoon, William did as Paula had suggested. He brought a still-hot lunch to Paula’s office. He packed all the fresh food he made in thermal bags which would keep the food fresh until he got to the office later. William smiled to himself doing what he was doing. He performed tasks usually reserved only for women. Something Alex said he did when he was young when Lisa was still busy at work.

When Lisa was pregnant with William, Alex was also the one who cooked food for her because she could only eat food cooked by her husband. Strange, but that was what happened for three whole months and it was very stressful for him. She always laughed when she told the kids some of those memories, no matter how many times. She was proud of her husband.

Just as William got off the bus, he saw a black car stop in front of the building. A driver opened the door, and an old Japanese man got out of the car with a haughty face.

Two bodyguards dressed in black and a woman in white rushed to follow the old man’s steps into the building. They rushed to the elevator and coincidentally, William got into the same elevator as them. The spacious elevator then went up to the eighth floor, to AJ Tokyo’s office.

The four mafia-like people just stared in astonishment at the foreign man who had joined them in the elevator. Normally, no one would come close to them. Seeing the lunch boxes in William’s hands, they sneered and laughed at each other. For them, a man who did household chores while his wife was busy at work was not manly at all.

When they got to the front desk, they forced the front desk girl to let them go inside. However, it was impossible since they had not made an appointment with Paula in advance.

“It’s not that I didn’t make an appointment, but it was your arrogant boss who didn’t want to meet our boss! She neglected us intentionally!” snapped the woman in white to the front desk girl.

.....

“I’m sorry, but our superiors have indeed refused to meet with Mr. Yamaguchi until the trial is over,” said the front desk girl. She bent down, answering at a very fast pace out of fear. Her face was pale. Makeup couldn’t hide her terrified expression.

Finally, the four of them stepped back to discuss other ways. Meanwhile, they decided to wait until Paula came out of the office.

William then headed to the frontline to fill out the guest book and was invited to enter without having to leave an ID. Seeing William being treated with such respect, Yamaguchi felt offended. He then snapped at the front desk girl for treating him unfairly.

“Why was that foreign man allowed to enter freely? You didn’t even ask him to leave his ID,” protested Yamaguchi with his hands on his hips.

“Sorry, sir! He is the husband of the owner of this company,” the front desk girl bowed and apologized once again.
Suddenly, Yamaguchi was lost in thought. He remembered something important. After that, he didn’t even say anything. He just left AJ Tokyo’s office without putting up a fight again. Of course, his subordinates could only follow the old boss’ footsteps obediently even though they had no idea what was on the boss’ mind.

Meanwhile, William walked into his wife’s office with a wide smile plastered on his face. However, he found his wife in a state of displeasure.

“You look so stressed,” he said worriedly.

“Will ... thanks for coming,” Paula said with a smile. “Akane’s grandfather insisted on seeing me. He’s going to force me to drop the charges.”

Paula told that old Yamaguchi has been terrorizing her ever since she filed a lawsuit against Akane. All the evidence was clear. Instead of admitting his mistake, old Yamaguchi wanted to protect his son and granddaughter.

“He even threatened to do everything so that my father’s company would not be in Tokyo anymore,” Paula answered nervously when William carefully opened the two lunchboxes he brought and arranged them on the coffee table in Paula’s room. “That’s terrible. I heard he has a close relationship with the Yakuza boss.”

Paula brushed her hair back, cleaned her desk for a moment, then walked over to the couch to sit with William. However, the delicious smell of the lunch distracted her from the problem for a moment.

“Wow, you made cheese noodles with hambagu steaks?” Paula asked, looking at her husband in awe. “Hmm, how does it taste?”

Paula quickly took metal chopsticks from the box and picked some noodles covered in cheese sauce ... and surprisingly, the taste did not disappoint her at all. “It’s so delicious!” Paula exclaimed, her eyebrows raised, thanking her husband over and over again.

“Glad you like it,” William said happily. He did try to combine Japanese recipes with his creativity. Not bad, he could blend the flavors well.

They had lunch heartily, then made small talk about a thing or two. Originally, William had planned to borrow money from Paula for Lea. However, he was hesitant because Paula was having a lot of problems recently.

“Oh! I forgot to give the gift box to you. This is from the bakery staff.” William took out a box from his backpack, containing various gifts from Monica and the others. Indeed, because he was busy doing lovemaking, he forgot to hand the gift to her.


He felt guilty about that. When he stopped by the bakery to buy some pies, Monica had warned him not to forget to give the gift box to Paula.

Paula squealed with joy as she opened the gift boxes one by one. It seemed that everyone really loved her. Just as Paula opened the gift box from Monica to her surprise she found a unique white gold earring.

So unique and personal. Supposedly, the earrings will be similar on right and left. However, what Monica gave was different. The right one was in the form of cursive letters that read ‘Paula’, the left one was in the form of ‘William’. Both were made in such a way, forming the edge of the earlobe. So Unique and would definitely mean a lot to the loving couple.

“Monica ... how could she make something like this?” Paula asked in awe.

William just smiled. He was happy because many people supported his love for Paula.

“He said it initially in the form of ‘Paula-Anderson’, knowing you were getting a divorce. However, she changed it immediately when I sent you a bouquet of red roses. Back then, for some reason, she had a hunch that we would end up together.”

Paula puts on her earrings one by one, assisted by William. She then asked again, “When did you send me flowers? As I recall, you weren’t that romantic when we were in New York?”

“When you came to my office and found that stupid pills, that night I sent you flowers and pralines for makeup. Unfortunately, you have already left, while Monica forgot to tell you because she was also loaded with work,” William answered as he put the earring in her right ear.

“William....” Paula felt her chest expand, filled with flowers of love. Anything about William always makes her feel more in love.

“What’s wrong, baby?” William asked with a meaningful look, more precisely full of desire.

Paula then walked to the door and locked it. She turned to William and said, “You said you wanted to know what it was like to do sex on a desk, right?”

William’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what Paula had just said. “Didn’t you say, it’s forbidden to have sex in the office?”

“Of course, Will! But, that is if I want to comply with the rules,” Paula answered as she took off her blazer and unbuttoned her shirt one by one. “I dunno, right now I’m trying to break it.”

Now, Paula looked sexy in her red bra. She was about to take off her pants too, but William prevented her, saying that he would do the task.

“Quickie?” William asked with his darkened green eyes.

Without asking anything, William then kissed Paula passionately. But strangely, she felt the cloth on her body again.

“Will? You dressed me up again?” Paula asked in surprise.

William chuckled a little, then said, “I want you so badly, baby. But don’t let the lust make you a boss who breaks the rules.”

Paula felt a little disappointed. But she just laughed because she knew William was right.

“Don’t take your position for granted!” added William again. “Don’t let your father fire you for being unprofessional.”

Paula looked at her husband with growing admiration. William had changed. He was now becoming a more and more responsible person.

“I promise to compensate you with great sex tonight!” whispered William hoarsely in Paula’s ear. “Many times better than a quickie.”

They laughed together, then kissed before William said goodbye because lunch break was over. At that time, Paula had no idea that William would not be waiting when she was home.
