The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife-Chapter 51: Shikera’s Answer.

Shikera frowned, savoring the taste of the beef in her mouth while listening to Ethan.

"How about Enoch excuses us instead? I won’t leave this table even for a second, until I’m done eating," she said, eyeing Enoch who was now glaring at her.

"You should just let me hear instead. Why should I leave the table for your own convenience?" He smirked, believing that his brother wouldn’t send him away from the table because his ’contract’ wife said so. But he was wrong, and Ethan’s next words proved that.

"Because you are in our house," Ethan deadpanned, like he just said something that should be expected. "You are the visitor here so you should be the one to excuse us."

"But..." Enoch tried to protest, but his brother cut him short.

"You can take your plate along with you. Goodbye." His tone was final, letting Enoch know that his brother wouldn’t change his mind. He stood up from his seat and carried his plate, while grumbling as he walked out of the kitchen towards the stairs.

Silence reigned at the table as Shikera stared suspiciously at Ethan, her eyebrows raised.

"What?" Ethan asked, even though he knew the reason she was staring at him that way. Even though they hadn’t exactly been fighting this past few days, he had not been treating her nice either. But today, apart from the fact that he had been treating her well since she came back from work, he had also sided her in her bantering with his brother and had called his villa hers too.

"What is this proposal about? You are scaring me already."

"It’s nothing..."

Shikera’s right hand shot up immediately, signaling that Ethan stop talking. Her eyes were rounded in surprise as she stared at him.

"You did not use Anderson Corporation as a collateral of some sort, right? Or..."

"You sure have a stray mind," Ethan shook his head, his expression suddenly growing serious. "It’s nothing like that, Shikera."

Shikera watched as he stood up from his chair and walked out of the kitchen, only coming back after a few minutes with a stack of papers in hand. He sat down and placed the papers in Shikera’s front, noticing the way her thin fingers gingerly picked it up.

"Isn’t this a contract?" Shikera murmured, turning the pages while her eyes skimmed through the words in it.

"I’m not on good terms with contracts so how about you tell me what it contains instead?" She said, pushing the papers aside and paying attention to Ethan with her eyes glued on his handsome face.

"Alright then. This might come as a shock so are you ready?"

"You think anything can shock me? Absolutely not!" She hummed, picking up a glass of orange juice and downing it at once.

"I want you to kiss me every night and in return, I give you what you want the most at this moment. I don’t care what that is," He stopped when the fork in Shikera’s hand dropped down on her plate, making a loud clanking sound.

For a whole minute, she stared at him with a perplexed expression before blinking to regain herself.

"Ethan, I really do need to see a doctor. Or it’s probably you who needs to see a doctor," she blurted out, her face colouring significantly.

"None of us needs a doctor. Though I might need more than one if you refuse my proposal," Ethan had expected a reaction worse than the one Shikera was letting out now, so he was not the least bit surprised by her words.

"Oh my...you really do need a check up. If your doctor isn’t capable, I can recommend as many as possible. Tell me when you need one," she shook her head pitifully, and glanced down at her empty plate before standing up to her feet. This was the first time she was seeing a handsome and crazy man.

She left the kitchen and walked up to her room, but not without bidding him goodnight like she would do to a little child.

"Again, thanks for coming!" Shikera said, as soon as Ruthlyn got into her car.

The latter had come to Preston TV earlier today on behalf of Ethan so as to confirm that he really did approve Preston TV’s news release about MD being Mignon DeLoach and his sister. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shikera, along with the rest of her teammates including her team leader had escorted Ruthlyn to the garage after thanking her so many times already, that Ruthlyn was getting uncomfortable. The others had gone back now and only Shikera was here so Ruthlyn felt like she could stop her now.

"It’s my job, Miss Ander- Shikera. We aren’t strangers," she whispered, so her words wouldn’t stream into the ears of any of the people who kept walking past them. The news about Ethan DeLoach’s assistant being here at their TV station had spread through all the floors so it was not surprising that something like this was happening.

"Okay then, Ruth," Shikera laughed, inching closer to her.

"There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you for the past three days now," she began."Ethan mentioned something absurd during supper and... don’t worry about that. Can you just give me his doctor’s contact number?"

Ruthlyn nodded, "Of course!"

She brought out her phone and copied Kyle’s number before sending it to Shikera through message.

"I just sent it to you."

As soon as Shikera got to her department’s floor, the first thing she did was dial Ethan’s doctor number, pacing around as the phone rang in her ears. For the past three days, all of her free time had been spent thinking about Ethan’s weird proposal which he hadn’t mention after that evening. She had begun to wonder if the incident didn’t happen at all or if something was really wrong with that. She was sure the former happened and the only way to confirm the latter was by talking to Ethan’s doctor.

"Why is Miss Anderson calling me?" Was the first words she heard as soon as the call was picked.

Shikera checked the number again before speaking, "How do you know I’m the one calling?"

"Oh, you didn’t know my name? Kylian Alexander."

"Alexander?" Shikera didn’t think Krystal had any male relative that was also a doctor so..."Almighty Alexander?"

"Royal Alexander. I’m actually in the operating theatre now so would you mind if I call you later?"

"Just a moment! I called to ask you about Ethan, when last did he come to you for a check up?" She hurriedly asked, not bothering to dwell on the fact that both Ethan’s and her own doctor were of the same social rank as they were.

"He visits me every day. But it’s to be expected when he’s almost going crazy due to a nightmare disorder and his wife who seems to be his cure doesn’t seem to mind," Kyle’s voice was clear and sounded serious so Shikera could tell he was not joking.

"I don’t seem to understand you, Doctor Alexander."

A sigh escaped Kyle’s lips, before he said, "The operation is starting now but I will send a file to you now. You can read that if you want to understand."

Immediately Shikera dropped the call, her phone pinged and she downloaded the file and read it.

It didn’t take her up to 30 minutes before she made her decision. She dialed Ethan’s number and he picked immediately.

"I agree to the proposal," she informed.
