The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 34 - Workaholics

Alessandro felt that something was going on with his dad. His father always brushed it off whenever he asked him about things he knew.

Dad: Make sure that Keira's bodyguards are attentive to her.

"Love, your suit is ready," Keira said as she rummaged in their walk-in closet, placing clothes for her disguise in her suitcase.

"Thanks, love." He tapped his phone to reply.

Ales: Seemed like you know everything. Who are you spying on?

Dad: Shh, it's a secret. Have a nice day, son! I know that you'll have loads of work to do after leaving for two weeks.

Ales: Whatever dad, watch out for your health.

Dad: Sure. Love you!

His dad always treated him like a baby, even though he's grown up. But he remembered that day after his mother's funeral that he would give him all of his affection. After that, his dad always texts him every day since they are apart together. Then, he would visit him and make time with him on his shows. But there are times that he didn't make it, like whenever he's away. He understood him though. It's one of his ways to cope up after he lost his wife.

"Love, come on! We'll be late!"

He glanced at her as she curled her hair using the smart curler. It was easy for her and then she combed it. She removed the plug and put it on the cooling tray where all of her hair accessories are placed. He dried off his body and put his boxers on. She approached him and put baby powder on his back and his chest. She did it to him when they started getting close together.

Once he was done putting the suit on, his wife pushed him down as she sprayed his hair and brushed it back. She even took a lip moisturizer and carefully rubbed it to his lower lip. Then, she kissed it.

"There, you looked stunning!"

"You too," he winked.

The couple left in the same care as another car was tagging along. At the time that they are in the car, Keira already started the work by checking the email.

"Hmm, another audition for miss Louise Madison. She's also invited to be an actress." Keira mumbled.

"Is that the same woman you mentioned to me yesterday?"

"Yes,"

He shrugged.

"Well, from this group chat, it said that you are backing her." Keira glared at him. He glanced at it as he didn't know what she was talking about. "Did you ever speak on this girl? That she has to make a rumor that you are dating her?"

"Uhh, I don't remember."

She rolled her eyes. Inside Alessandro's head, he's grinning. Keira was possessive back then. Now, she's more possessive which he liked about her. But she's not a war freak and her possessiveness will be triggered in the public as long as she'll get provoked. Anyway, it's not like he doesn't care. Keira is his wife after all. And she could control him anytime she wanted.

"Don't frown my love. You know that you can always do some action."

"Well, I'll let this slide." She sighed. "Do you have the gems?"

"Yup." He nodded at her. "I got a message from the maker, he'll deliver it next week."

"That's great! I can't wait to have it." Her eyes shine.

The Golden Age's Company comes into view. The car entered the VIP parking lot. He held her hand and kissed her cheeks.

"See you at lunch?" He asked.

"Sure," She kissed his lips and the door opened. She hopped out and waved at him. She put her cap on as she hopped out of the car. She waved at him and they used the private elevator. She was covered with bodyguards as soon as she entered the elevator.

Soon, she reached the floor of the president. There are only three staff on the floor and most of them are her bodyguards around. Her assistant approached her with a cup of tea. She thanked her as her secretary approached her.

"Madam, here are the sorted dates for the upcoming event." She nodded and she pointed to the door to her office.

There's not much change in the office. Just a few figurines that Jeremy Cha changed. With his photo holding a violin. She remembered that her father used to praise Jeremy Cha as a violinist prodigy. But, in the end, he's just a scam. She sat on her swivel chair and put her purse and tea on the table.

"How's the rating for the Genius Singer?" She asked her secretary, named Johanna Elton.

The woman was always ready for her questions. Johanna showed her the tablet at the rise of the rating. She smiled and the voting continued.

'They are aiming for Vincent after you challenged him to sing something out of his genre. He indeed did great. He looked more professional." Johanna complimented.

"How about the other girl?" She asked.

"Miss Melody Grace Marquez," Johanna said as she nodded. "She's on the second level… but she's rising too. Getting male and female fans."

"Because of the face…" She agreed to her. "She can be the next superstar and let's just hope that she'll keep her attitude as professional too."

Keira sipped on her tea as she thought of something.

"Let's think of another style this week. Release a showdown." She told as Johanna nodded. "Vanessa," She called her assistant. "Contact the advertisement director for the showdown this week."

"Yes, ma'am."

"And also the PR Director."

Vanessa nodded as she pulled out her phone.

"Dismiss." She told them.

She opened her computer and started checking the emails and reviewing the auditions and a few contests. She then checked the artists and reviewed their acting skills and other talents. She called Johanna as she entered and showed her the files of the artists to sort them out.

"How about Louise Madison?" She asked Johanna.

"Louise Madison is a great singer, however, she lacks a few things and one is discipline," Johanna said as a smirked draw across her lips.

"You think so too?"

The woman was puzzled for a while.

"You met her?"

"Yes, I happened to stumble to her multiple times." She sighed and thought of how the woman used Alessandro's name many times. It suddenly happened that she became possessive to him. She didn't know why.

"Well, I think she already had a bad record with you," Johanna said.

"Indeed." She sighed.

"May I know what makes her become a bad record on the list?"

"Firstly, I saw her in the set, drinking alcohol. Second, she mentioned my husband's name. That she's going out with him."

Johanna creased her brows. She didn't know that she's married to Alessandro and she only thought that Alessandro is her boyfriend.

"I am always with my husband and if he's dating her," She drummed her fingers on the table. "He would have less time for me, right?"

Johanna nodded.

"Your husband is~~"

"Yup," She winked. "Anyway, I'll let it slide. And using my husband's name to her advantage will be another disadvantage to her. Lots of people will say bad things to her including her co-artist."

"Do you want me to take care of it?" Johanna asked.

"No," she giggled girlishly. "No need. I just want to see how her audition goes."

"In this movie, Mr. De Alegre is one of the investors," Johanna said.

"Is that so?" She creased her brows. "So, this is why she got the leading role?"

"Well, according to the audition, she got it because they said that she's dating Mr. De Alegre, so it's just right to take her as a leading role."

"How about the other one from our company?"

"She got the supporting role," Johanna said. "It's just odd that she got a supporting role where in fact, Sarah is a good actress and the role should be hers."

"Who are the other investors?" She asked with creased brows.

"There's also De Novo."

She frowned even more. Why would De Novo invest in a film?

"Hmm,"

She pulled out her phone and messaged her husband.

Kiera: Did you invest in the upcoming film?

It takes a few seconds before he answers.

Ales: I think I did.

Kiera: Pfft! Why aren't you so sure? Do you want me to spank you?

Ales: Oh, wow. You are getting more and more aggressive love. Are you going to tie me in the bed tonight?

Kiera: You sleep alone tonight.

Ales: Damn. What's the matter?

She typed furiously and sent him the link to the audition and the news about the movie that he invested in.

"Make sure that my lunchtime is free." She told her.

"I'll move the conference to one-thirty."

"Yes, thank you."

She put away her phone. Johanna stood as she gathered the papers and sorted them out. She nodded at it and pointed to the lowest actors and actresses.

"Sent them away to acting classes."

"Yes, ma'am."

The top ones who don't need acting classes are on her list. She searches for the next audition. Series show or a movie. She watched their acting once again and deployed them. Then, she sent it to Johanna to deploy them.

At eleven-thirty, she started re-touching her make-up and fixed her hair and dress. She took the mint candy and chewed on it. She walked out the door.

"Guys, time for lunch." She told them as her bodyguards followed her.
