Chapter 155: Caught In The Act

Inday had to think hard, before... "I have seen something once, but I’m not so sure ... That’s what I mean. Don’t worry, from now on, I will look into it, and I’ll report to you right away! Inday told butler, who was scared.

"Whatever! You go ahead and finish your work. You’re just giving me high blood with your nonsense." said Butler Ruffy, he then turned around and walked towards to kitchen to talk to the Chef about what the couple will have for dinner.

Meanwhile, Ashley is enjoying her job as Tanaga’s assistant. It has been over a week since she started working. But not once did she hear Tanaga shouted or get angry.

And the three junior secretaries couldn’t believe that the two were doing any miracles, because they were always together even when eating lunch.

"What could that woman have that she was able to tame our boss? Sometimes I even saw sir Jones with a slight smile? " Aiko told Fumika and Etsuko full of envy.

"Hmph! You never know, she could be giving something extra to our boss, we don’t know because they are the only two in Sir Jones’s office." Etsuko’s angry retort for to this day, she still couldn’t accept that Ashley beat her beauty and now working next to their boss.

Fumika just smiled and didn’t want to get involved with the two gossips monger. For her, she admired how good and how talented Ashley is.

She couldn’t believe that Ashley had never worked in a big company before because she was always so professional when it came to talking to people, and a very hard worker at that.

While Aiko and Etsuko kept on complaining and gossiping about their boss and Ashley, the phone rings, and Fumika answers quickly so she won’t have listened to the two.

"THJ Headquarters, CEO of Jones Office, Fumika speaking ... Can I help you?" She learns it from Ashley. It’s the way Ashley always answers the phone when someone calls.

"Yes, hello! This is COO Hanada’s secretary. He asked me to set an appointment for a meeting this afternoon. Is it possible?" Koji Hanada’s secretary asked.

"Can I put you on hold for a minute? I’ll check with Sir Jones’s assistant. How about this, can I call you back?" Fumika asked as she decided to ask Ashley in person instead of just transferring the call, which she had previously done.

The reason she wanted to tell Ashley the message in person, because she couldn’t wait to get away from two jealous women who practically chatted all day long. Especially their bosses were out of the office.

"No problem! I’ll wait for your return call. Thank you!" Koji’s secretary said before she quickly hung up.

Koji, who was standing right in front of his secretary during the call, was disappointed to hear that Tanaga’s junior secretary still had to check. He didn’t wait for his secretary to give him the message, for he listened to the whole conversation. He thought it’s best to go back to his office first and wait for the callback.

The reason Koji wanted to have a meeting with Tanaga, it’s because the day before, Alden Sanches called to inform him that he got approval from Headquarters in the Philippines about the multi-billion pesos collaboration they were planning to do.

Unfortunately, Alden had to return to the Philippines to get signatures of approval from his father. That’s why no one bothered the couple for the whole week. Meanwhile, at that Koji also was sent by President Hanada to a neighboring country to talk to other investors, and he just returned from a successful business trip.

Koji wanted to first meet with Tanaga and Alden to discuss the collaboration before presenting it to the board of directors at the next meeting. If this collaboration works out, he will have many opportunities to see Ashley.

Just the thought that he would be seeing Ashley or even speak with her puts a smile on Koji’s handsome face.

Meanwhile, in Tanaga’s office, his face is not looking good because he has to leave for America. He needed to attend a critical meeting with the President of the United States of America concerning one of their collaborations.

Another thing was a subsidiary company of THJ Group has a big problem. He received the end of year report showing a massive loss when they supposed to be making money.

The reason he’s upset it’s because Ashley cannot accompany him at the moment. She needed to wait for a visa, and that would take at least a week or more. He’s helpless; the only thing he could do was to get ready to leave without his wife by his side.

"Tan, it’s alright! It’s only a week, and I could follow you. That’s not long, soon you know I’m in front of you already." Ashley was trying to coax her husband like a little child. Tanaga has a big scowl on his face while slowly going through all the documents that he needed to take with him.

"What else can we do! But, love ... I will miss you so much !!!" He stopped what he was doing and hugged his wife as tight as he could — Ashley, who was busy helping him with paperwork end up dropping most of it on the floor.

Both of them kneel to start picking up the scattered documents. Ashley couldn’t help herself and smiled while in deep thought. "Gosh! Am I dreaming? The Lion King is acting so sweet with me? Whoa! Who did I helped in my past life that I’m very fortunate in my life now?’

However, who is she to complain? With her husband being playful and loving, what more could she asked for in her life?.

She was still in deep thought when suddenly Tanaga put both his palm on her face, before bringing her face as close as he could and kissed her sensually and lovingly. With that, what else could Ashley do but kissed him back with everything she got.

"Hmmm, I’m going to miss you too," Ashley said in between their kisses.

The couple was unaware that head secretary Sato was coming in with the other paperwork Tanaga needed. And right behind him was Fumika, who wanted to inform Ashley about Koji’s request.

Sato did the usual thing, and he opened the door without knocking. Therefore, Fumika’s eyes suddenly widened when she saw the couple on the floor, kissing...

"Oh ’my God !!!" She screamed, covering her mouth quickly afterward. But it’s too late since Tanaga and Ashley and Sato have heard her loud cry...

"What the F ** k!" Sato shouted at Fumika before quickly pulling her inside Tanaga’s office and locking the door immediately.

"Huh-huh-huh! I’m sorry, please! I didn’t mean it! Huh-huh-huh!" Said Fumika, who looks so scared.

When Tanaga and Ashley heard Fumika’s and Sato’s voice, the two of them suddenly stopped and turned around. That’s when the two of them saw how Sato pulled Fumika into the office and quickly locked the door.

Once they were inside, Sato’s eyes were bulging out of the socket as he asked the question. "Do you have a deathwish? He asked Fumika, who started crying due to the scene that she just witnessed. She’s afraid that she might end up losing her job due to that accident.

" I didn’t mean it, sir! I came to ask Ma’am Ashley, and at the same time, you open the door. It was not my fault that I have eyes and could see?" Fumika was still weeping as she answered Sato’s questions while she was trying to explain what had happened.
