Her Second-Hand Husband!

Anika’s PoV

I started walking towards the factory when the sun started to scorch me. My feet struggled to move as I neared the building and I suddenly felt pain all over my body. I saw a beautiful woman at the reception desk and she smiled at me warmly as I approached her.

“Hi, my name is Anika and I am here for a job.” I told her.

“Oh, that’s you. Here is your appointment order. You have to go to the last room on right to meet Mr. Praveen. He will brief you on your job.” She gave me a paper.
