Chapter 5:did you get engaged?

 Ana got choked on her food coughing violently, Ethan reached out and passed her a glass of water. 

 Ana took a sip of the water, trying to compose herself. "I didn't think we were going to live together," she said, her voice steady.

 Ethan raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. "We're married, It's only natural that we live together."

 Ana felt a wave of panic wash over her. She hadn't thought this through, she realized. She had assumed that they would just go their separate ways, maintaining the illusion of a marriage without actually having to live together. "Mr Maverick, you seem to have forgotten that I said clearly I don't need any form of distraction, I'm a career lady and I have no plan to be the wife you seem to have in mind." 

 Ethan Leaned back to his chair with a small smile." Who said anything about distraction, of course as married couple we should be cohabiting to make our marriage seem more real, we both would have our private spaces , no one would disturb the other, we just have to maintain the profile of a married couple, we are less than couples. " 

 Ana sighed wondering why this man was always so logically right. "I would need an office at home , I work from house during weekends." 

 Ethan smile widened as he said "That shouldn't be a big problem,it could be arranged, my penthouse is big enough for that. "

 Ana's eyebrows raised an eyebrow a little impressed." A penthouse huh..? Mr Maverick must be a man of luxury. " 

 Ethan chuckled." You got it wrong , the penthous is actually a gift from my parents." Ethan explained. Ana nodded it made More sense,even if he was rich a penthouse was still quite expensive which was why she lived in an apartment. 

 "I would send my driver to help you get your stuffs tomorrow,as it's weekend." Ethan said casually, it seemed as tho he wanted everything done already. 

 Ana wasn't stupid as to argue about the short time range ,infact she too wants things to be hurried so President Michael doesn't suspect a thing. "Alright." 

 ****. ***

 Ana's sleep was interrupted by her alarm clock that was set to wake her up by 6:00 am sharp everyday, even today that was weekend , she still got up early it was already a routine she was used to it. 

 Ana stood up from bed and went to take a bathe and brush her teeth, she didn't stay long in the bathroom before coming out looking all fresh and new , since she wasn't going to work , she wore a tight yoga pants and sweat shirt, plugged in her ear pods and turned to the software chanel audio podcast and went for jogging. 

 After about half and hour she was back and when came back she saw the house cleaner was already at her home and was folding her laundries, the housekeeper came only on Saturdays to clean and help Her restock her fridge sometimes.

 "Morning Ms Gilbert." The middle aged housekeeper greeted with a charming smile. 

 " Hello Mrs Burrow. " Ana greeted back smiling too, she didn't stay for more chats but just went to the fridge to get a bottle of water , just as her hand reached for the water she noticed a shiny object on her hand, when she looked at her hand , she saw a small ruby ring on her finger, she Frowned she didn't even notice it while bathing how did..... But then she paused when she remembered yesterday, it really wasn't a dream she was now married to a person. 

 While Ana was looking at the ring , Mrs Burrow stepped into the kitchen and saw Ana staring at her finger , her eyes caught the shiny object on Ana's hand and she gasped. "Ms Gilbert did you get engaged?"

 Ana's eyes widened slightly and she hesitated for a moment before answering."married actually." 

 The housekeeper gasped and let out a small laugh of joy." That's really amazing dear ,I wouldn't have even known you were seeing a man, congratulations dear ,but since you're married does it mean I'm relieved of my duties?."

 Ana quickly shook her head , even if she moved in with Ethan ,she didn't want to fire Mrs Burrow,who was especially kidney to her and very loyal." If you would still wish to work for me I can have that work." Ana stated and just then the doorbell rang.

 "I think that must be the delivery man , I ordered some takeaway for you." The housekeeper said and went to get the door while Ana went to her room to freshen up. 

 Ana spent half of the day analyzing datas in her home office , infact those datas she was sorting had been sorted by her some many times , she almost had nothing to do but it was already Imprinted deep into her, she couldn't stay idle. 

 Her phone rang,she quickly picked it without looking at the screen. "Hello, Anastasia Gilbert here."

 "Ana!!!." 

 Ana's eyes lit up as she recognized the voice on the end of the line. "Lily, thought you were dead." 

 Lily was Ana's best friend and also a popular model, she knew Ana's character well and of course Ana's words had other hidden meaning. " I missed you too , sorry I didn't call during my three months trip." 

 "Hmmmm ,I do not accept your insincere apology." Ana said with a small smile.
