The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“This woman looks tiny and harmless on the outside, but she’s actually inexplicably tough.What she said is very true.I had better
not mess with her!’ Garrett admitted defeat in his mind.
All his life, he had only met sexy and charming women.
They were all weaker than men and this always aroused his pity and love for them.
Laney was the first woman he had met that was charming but tough.She was also stronger than most men, including him.
And this bruised his ego greatly.He thought that it would be unwise to argue with her, so he put on a fake smile and dida
welchand gesture.
“There’s nothing wrong with that.Please go on.” Then he walked to a treadmill and began to run.He had known from the very
beginning that they were two worlds apart.
They were the only ones currently in the gym because it was still working hours.
As a result, they seemed too close to each other even though the gym was spacious.
Laney punched the punching bag a few more times before she began to practice her fighting skills.
Garrett watched her for a while with his mouth agape.
The sight of her fighting skillfully filled him with more fear.
His self-esteem was dwarfed in her presence.
After making several futile attempts to concentrate on his exercise, he decided to pack up and leave.
Laney sneered under her breath when she saw him pick up his fitness bag carefully and make his way for the door.She wasn’t
surprised one bit.
Ever since she beca professional fighter, she had cacross a lot of men like him.
Not only did they find it weird that a girl like her was a good fighter, but they were also intimidated by her.
They always wanted to stay away from her.

*Humph! Good riddance to bad rubbish!” Laney didn’t give a damn about insecure men like Garrett because she didn’t like them
too.
Midway towards the door, Garrett stopped in his tracks and walked back slowly.He looked at Laney sideways and saw that her
slightly pale face and long hair were soaked with sweat.
Raising his eyebrows, he said seriously, “Remember to take a shower after you are done here.The bathrooms are behind the
gym.The one with hot water is on the left and the cold one is on the right.” Blinking her eyes in confusion, Laney asked, “And why
are you tellingthat?”.
When Garrett noticed that she was getting angry, he raised his hands and replied innocently, “It’s just a piece of harmless advice.
You are supposed to work here as my secretary.If the other employees see you in my office in this sweaty state, they would think
we just had sex. already have a terrible reputation, so it won’t get to me.But I doubt if you can take such embarrassment.”
Laney glared at him with a flushed face.She then uttered crossly, “Okay, you can leave now!”.
Now that Laney becGarrett’s secretary, she got to see Natalie often. Today, she invited Natalie out to dinner.
“Thank you for recommendingfor this job,” Laney said as she handed the menu over to Natalie.
“This one’s going to be my treat!”
Although Natalie hadn’t really done much, Laney never liked owing favors to arryone.
Natalie waved her hand and smiled.
“It’s nothing, Miss Garcia. You’re the one who saved my life.I don’t even know how to thank you properly for that.”
“You don’t need to be so formal with me.We are friends now.Please just callLane.It’s what all my buddies back at the club
call me.”
A wistful smile played on Laney’s lips.
Natalie leaned forward, curious as a cat.
“A club? What kind of club is it?”.

Laney stopped short.She had blurted out the words without thinking, “Well... You know, just a hobby club.” She cleared her
throat and took a sip of water.
“But they’ve all relocated to the countryside.I plan on saving a lot so that I can invite them back to the city.” “How about you,
where are you residing at the moment?”
“Down at Ester Street.”
“That’s quite a distance from work. How about I help you find a place near Larson Group?” Natalie offered.
“The closer you live, the more convenient it is in terms of commute.Actually, I live in a pretty good neighborhood, with lots of
affordable apartments.Would you liketo make an inquiry for an available unit?”
The opportunity was too good to pass up, and it would certainly be easier for Laney to protect Natalie if they lived close to each
other.
“That’s great! Please do, and thank you.”
Thrilled, Natalie wasted no tand immediately called up the real estate agent.
Soon enough, Sebastian was notified of her request.It was only a matter of course, since half of the properties in the
neighborhood was owned by the Larson Group.
Eventually, the women found a single-bedroom apartment. It was cheaper than most units in the area, despite it being fully-
furnished
Since Laney’s move, the two often traveled to and from work together.
On sweekends when they were both free, they would go shopping and have dinner.
“You’re such a kind and generous person, Natalie,” Laney remarked one day.
“You must have a lot of friends.” But Natalie shook her head in response.
“Not at all.I never really had friends even when I was a child.” Since primary school up to her university days, no one had dared
to befriend her for fear of incurring Cassie’s wrath.

“Well, then,” Laney said emphatically.
“I’ll be your good friend from new on.”
No matter how they had cto know each other, it was clear that Natalie and Laney had the swavelength and got along
really well.
It cto Charis’ attention that another woman had been hanging around Natalie recently. It didn’t take long for her to look into
the woman’s identity.
“Laney Garcia?” she read the report, frowning.
Charis sensed that Laney was not the typical office worker.
She might be petite, but she had quick reflexes and was rather nimble on her feet, and anyone with a sharp eye would recognize
the faint traces of scars on her arms and shins.
This woman was obviously a fighter.
Charis was instantly suspicious of Laney’s sudden appearance in the company, and ordered her men to investigate her
background.
Charis’s private investigator couldn’t find a lot of information about Laney whose identity was kept confidential.
However, there was a piece of information that shocked Charis.
It was that Laney was one of the top bodyguards in the country and she had protected many wealthy personalities in the past.
This indicated that she had several years of experience under her belt.
Another shocking detail was that Laney was also the swoman who had saved Natalie from the car accident.
Charis didn’t need anyone to tell her that Brandon was the one that hired her for Natalie’s utmost protection.
“Aargh! Brandon even got Laney into the Larson Group so that she could watch and protect Natalie closely.Since he is going all
out to protect that bitch, it means she’s very dear to his heart.This is so annoying!” Charis becangrier and more jealous as
she put two and two together.
