Chapter 378 - My Future Wife

Soon, the elevator door opened up. Felix and Stefan didn't move, they waited for Alex Ogden to walked out first then they followed suit as if they were his bodyguards.

When Alex Ogden saw Arthur and Daniel waiting for him, he chuckled. He walks towards them in a laid-back manner with his hands on his pocket. He stopped two meters from them while Felix and Stefan stood two meters behind Alex.

"Arthur Brown and Daniel Li. It was a pleasure to meet you but…" He paused for a second. "…I'm sorry, I'm not here to meet you." The four men surrounding him didn't say or do anything. They just stood there looking at him with cautiousness.

"Say, Miss J. When are we going to start preparing for the mission?" The five men heard the voice of Diana and instantly looked at her direction. But she is not alone. Diana is with J.

The two women stopped in their tracks. Diana was frozen in place when she saw a familiar man surrounded by Arthur's Team. Of course, she knew that it is Alex Ogden. She knows how to identify a member of Novus Rex and she is very familiar with this man and his grandfather.

J, on the other hand, remained calm and impassive. She looked at Alex Ogden with no emotion. Just like Diana and any member of the Society, she knows how to identify a member of Novus Rex and she also knows of Alex Ogden. But this is the first time that she saw him in person.

The whole lobby was eventually filled with coldness with the presence of J, Arthur, Daniel and Alex Ogden who were all a known cold person.

J walked towards them and Arthur instantly acts to shield her but J stopped him. "Arthur, it's fine." Alex Ogden came alone, that means, he did not come to take J away. At least not yet.

"See, even your Boss knows not to be wary of me," Alex said derisively.

"I am not their Boss," J said impassively.

"Oh, right! Jacob Parker is their Boss." Alex Ogden deliberately avoided saying the word 'husband' so he said Jacob's name instead. And J noticed it so she looked at him with a slightly raised brow.

J originally wanted to talk to Alex Ogden alone but she knew that Arthur wouldn't let that happen so she set aside that idea.

"Why are you here?"

"I just wanted to meet my future wife." Alex Ogden said without a bit of reticence. J's brows furrowed ever so slightly.

Felix wanted to retort back but he stops when he saw Arthur raised his hand to stop him.

"Mr. Ogden…" J was about to say something but Alex Ogden stopped her.

"Not so formal dear, just call me Alex."

J tilted her head. "I'm sorry but, I cannot force myself to act casually in front of you if that's what you want, Mr. Ogden," J said stressing her last two words. Alex Ogden's expression turned grim, but J was not a bit affected.

"As I was saying. Don't you have a television or the internet at home, Mr. Ogden?" J said with a raised brow. "Because it looks like you haven't heard of the news of me being married to Jacob."

Alex Ogden's signature evil smirk appeared slowly at the corner of his lips. "Are you sure that your marriage isn't fake? I know that you just find out about your marriage a couple of months ago from a marriage contract that you didn't even sign."
