Billionaire's Sweet Wife novel Chapter 2

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.'
