The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Sebastian raised his eyebrows and eyed him as if he was looking at a fool.
“Of course, it’s because she will be your secretary.”
“My secretary? Oh my God! But there are many senior executives in this company. Why did you make this woman my secretary?
It’s not fair at all!” Garrett threw Laney’s reson the table in defiance. The frown on his face also deepened.
Sebastian retorted matter-of-factly, “You of all people should know that she’s not really a secretary. As Natalie’s bodyguard, this
job is just to keep her undercover. Besides, you are the only one that knows her true identity in this company. Which other senior
executive could she possibly work for while doing her real job? Answer me!”
Garrett was rendered speechless. But he still couldn’t accept the development. Just when he was about to refuse again,
someone knocked on the door.
A second later, Laney pushed the door open and cin. She was wearing a white skirt and a light pink shirt, which made her
look beautiful and harmless. With a stack of documents in her arms, she said solemnly, “Good day, Mr.Harding. I’m your new
secretary. Please feel free to adviseand giveany tasks to do. I promise to do my best.”
Garrett was forced to swallow the words of refusal. Despite Laney’s harmless appearance, he couldn’t help but remember how
she had smacked him down with one hand the first tthey met. Garrett rubbed his back. He could still feel a dull pain in his
shoulder.
“Ahem. I’m afraid I can’t do any of that.” He suddenly suffered a banging headache. Garrett was naturally a ladies’ man. He
loved beautiful women and behaved like a gentleman in their midst.
Although Laney was beautiful, she was equally dangerous. He suspected she could easily break him into two, so he planned to
stay away from her. She was a rose with thorns in his eyes.
Sensing the tension in the air, Sebastian stood up, picked up the documents on the table and left immediately “You guys talk,” he
said as he walked out.
There was a helpless look on Garrett’s gentle, strikingly handsface. it was only when Sebastian left that Garrett took his
glasses off the bridge of his nose. He held his aching head and looked at Laney.
“Anyway, this was just part of the disguise. I have spared a room for you here, you can do as you please in there. There is also a
gym at the company. Just don’t stir up any trouble for me.”

Laney nodded politely. She didn’t like Garrett in the least bit and thought he was just a superficial man who enjoyed judging
people by their appearance. She said in a plain tone, “Don’t worry. I won’t disturb you.”
Garrett didn’t even want to look at her any longer or be bothered by her mere presence. He waved her out and said, “Alright, you
can leave now.”
“Okay, Mr. Harding,” Laney replied in the sbland tone. She put down the documents in her hands and was just about to
leave.
Before she closed the office door, she made a departing comment, “Mr. Harding, my nis Laney, Laney Garcia. If you find it
so difficult to pronounce or remember, just callMiss Garcia. If you keep calling‘woman’, I will mistakenly think that you
are being disrespectful toand I might lose my témper.”
Laney had always been a straightforward person. Perhaps it was because she had spent much of her taround men. She
learned that when there was any conflict, the most effective way to deal with it was to put up a fight. With an unhappy scowl in
his face, Garrett did his utmost not to snap at her. He said, “I see, Miss Garcia.”
On her first day at work, Laney spent half of the day in the gym. She didn’t have many hobbies but she was positively obsessed
with exercising and fighting. There weren’t many people in the gym during work hours, so she ran a full ten miles on the
treadmill.
After working in the office for the entire morning and having attended a two-hour meeting with the senior executives at midday,
Garrett’s entire body felt sore all over.
He decide to hit the gym to ease the muscle tension. He changed into his gym attire and walked in. The first thing he saw was.
Laney punching a sandbag in the corner, her wrists wrapped in white gauze.
Although Laney had a feminine, petite build and looked like she couldn’t hurt a fly, when she hit the punching bag, it sank in from
the brute force. Garrett could tell how strong Laney was from the sound he heard when her fists made contact with the punching
bag. He thought that not even a tall, strong man could be sure to win a fight against her. He had practiced boxing techniques
before, but he only did it to build up his body rather than with the intention of fighting
As he watched Laney practicing, he wondered who would be able to handle such a tough woman.
Nothing escaped Laney’s sharp eyes. In the reflection of the mirror, she saw Garrett enter the gym in his black sportswear and
look her up at down repeatedly.

“Mr. Harding, do you want to fight me?”
The hostility in Laney’s eyes was obvious. She raised her fists slightly in his direction, as if to say she was welcoming his attack.
“I wouldn’t dare,” he said. Garrett raised his hand and took several steps back. His tone was much gentler and more polite than
before.He had thought of what she had said to him earlier.
She was right. As a man, he ought not to be so petty.Now that Garrett was treating her in a much more respectful manner, she
stopped staring at him. She took the towel that was hanging around her neck and wiped the beads of sweat rolling down her
forehead. Her intention was to keep up her practice for another two hours.
“Miss Garcia, may I ask you something?” Garrett was surprised at how fit she was and was curious to discuss the topic with her.
“Why would you beca hit man? I mean, you are a woman, and...”
Laney waved her fists and continued punching.
The punching bag swayed in the air.
After a while, she held the punching bag and finally replied calmly, “I’m in this line of work to earn a living.”She then picked up a
water bottle from the floor and uncapped it.
After taking a few sips, she looked at him with displeasure in her eyes.
“So what I am a woman? What does my gender have to do with my fighting capability as against that of a man? After all, you are
a man, but I can easily kick your ass.”
These words filled Garrett with fear.He scratched his head uneasily, not knowing what to say.
