Being selfish

Sab life seems to be stable and comfortable in the past few days. Aside from a beautiful torture every night, she felt refresh after cleaning up in the morning. Tom will carry her to the bathroom and sometimes dress her up and sometimes will feed her personally.

Though she doesn't know when this will last, she decided to push all her worries later and enjoy the service of the most powerful man she knew. She smiled like an idiot as he feeds her while sitting on his lap.

She will also pick up some food and feed him. This seems to be their routine every day. Once they get to the office, she will work normally and will stay in his office if he is not busy with his meetings.

She was focused on finishing the report delegated by Alvin when Linda came. She has a bright smile while holding a lunch box. "It's lunchtime now, are you not going to?"

Sab answered lazily. "I will, I just need to finish this one."

Linda sneered, "Are you sure you just want to finish that and not waiting on someone?"

Sab stops typing and look at her puzzled but didn't say anything.

"Don't be too obvious, it's all written on your face. This was cooked by me and mother law, we'll eat lunch together. Your service is not needed here." She waved the lunch box in her hands with a proud face.

Sab only looked at the lunch box and Linda's face without reactions. But she was very uncomfortable inside, thinking of Tom eating with another woman aside from herself, it felt her heart is being pinched thousand times.

Will he give the same treatment he was doing to her? Will he also serve her as he did to her? Will they also watch horror movies late at night? Will they also play until almost dawn? Her eyes are getting hotter, she lowered her gaze and tried to ignore Linda.

"Tom and I were in love for many years. I am back now, and I will not give up on him and not lose on you. Don't think about transforming into a phoenix when you are obviously a market chicken.

Our situation is just temporary, once he forgives me, I will make sure there will only me." Linda tone was heavy and confident. She doesn't want to confront Sab and felt it was unnecessary.

However, as a designer and being in the entertainment industry, she cannot deny that Sab's beauty is a rare one. She is pleasant to the eyes even with a bare face and belongs to the category of natural beauties. With proper make-up, the enhancement will surely be drastic.

She is also very attractive and considered a campus bell when she was still in school. With her natural skills in fashion and make-up, she could change her image or maintain the ladylike image without any problems. Nonetheless, she was very uncomfortable in the absence of designers clothes and felt naked without make-up.

Looking at the watery, moisturized and fresh face of Sab even without the help of make-up, she cannot help but feel threatened a little. Besides that, she was younger than her and look very innocent. She is very slim but plum in areas that need to be. Despite this, Sab seems unaware of her own charm which added to her charisma. Whose man would not want that kind of woman?

If she didn't know that she was very poor according to her investigation, she would think that her beauty was all fake. Seeing she was ignoring her presence, her anger starting to show up. Who the hell she is? Linda was pampered and can easily get whatever she wanted from family and friends and even to most people she just met, but here she is being ignored by a lowly secretary made her really angry. However, she kept her temper. It's not yet time for retaliation. Once everything was set, she promises herself that this woman will get what she deserves sooner or later.

"You can go now, Sab. I know you are very smart, and I don't need to spell out what I want to tell you." Linda smiled with provocation.

Sab felt contradicted whether will leave or not. In her position, she should go to allow real lovers, but her whole body refuses to leave. Thinking of Tom being with Linda, happily eating lunch, her heart seems to have been smashed and the unexplainable discomfort made her breathing difficult.

She doesn't want Tom being around by another woman. She doesn't want him to eat lunch with Linda. She doesn't want him to treat another woman nicely. She wants to stay only by her side.

However, this selfish desire is impossible. Sooner or later, she will need to let go. But should she really need to let go now? Can he really not stay by her side?

Sab looked at Linda as if looking at a narcissistic person. Though the pain inside is suffocating, she doesn't want to lose. She was about to respond when she felt someone approaching.

Tom was calmly walking to them. His gaze met hers inquiring. She suddenly felt wanted to run towards him and hug him but remained calm as well.

Linda also notices Tom and her smuggest gaze changes and become very gentle. Her smile becomes hesitant and shy. Her aura also becomes very weak. Totally different from the strong and arrogant woman just a second ago.

Sab notice the changes and can't help but praise silently and thought that if one day she decides to enter the entertainment industry as an actress, she will grab all the awards yearly.

"Tom, mom cooked and had me brought lunch for us. I invited Sab but said she will eat with her boyfriend today."

Sab looked at Linda who just lied without blinking then looked at Tom. This woman is cunning and very immature. She even dared to lie in front of her.

Linda looked innocently at Sab and Tom. Seeing that Tom was not bothered, she felt happy about it. As expected from him, he will not be easily moved by anyone. He will not be attracted to a random woman from the streets.

Sab looked at Tom seriously then looked at Linda frowning. Under his very calm face, her heart jump in panic. "When did I say that?"

"You just said it a few minutes ago."

Sab was speechless looking at her innocent face. There was no trace of shame even lying directly at her face. From others point of view, you wouldn't find any flows in the beautiful face and would not think anything faulty at her behaviour. She was so calm and innocent.

She can't help but look at Tom helplessly. She wants to clear things, but it might expose their relationship. However, she can't just keep quiet. What to do? What to do?

Linda speaks again as she walks beside Tom with a gentle smile. "Let's have lunch?"

Sab panicked and looked intently at Tom. He can't be with her. Her eyes suddenly felt hot.

Tom who has been quiet all along and observing looked at Sab and Linda a few times then looked at Alvin in seriousness.

Alvin knew him too well. He doesn't need to speak out when it comes to this kind of business. He knew best for handling his women's business for many years. He walks in front of Linda and reaches out for the lunch box.

Linda was caught off guard and the lunch box was taken easily by Alvin. She was annoyed but kept her puzzled looked at him and Tom.

"Mr Del Monte still has another meeting; I'll take care of the lunch box and make sure he will eat it later."

Tom spoke, "Sab bring the documents I asked you to my office."

It took a few seconds before Sab could realize what was happening, her face relaxed realizing he will not be with Linda. She took random documents on the table and followed him to his office. She was so happy that he didn't fall at Linda's trap.

Alvin stayed in the office and left after a while. Sab sat on the couch facing him with bright eyes. She can't help but be happy that she was with him and not with Linda or another woman.

She is being selfish though she shouldn't be but cannot stop herself when the topic is Tom being involved in another woman. She is the wife now and during this time, she decided to keep it that way until she is holding the title. She grew up with an image of a happy family even if short-lived, still she wants to have that herself.

Though the relationship started abnormally, she wants to have an honest relationship during the contract. When Alvin left the room, she rises and stood up in front of the huge office table.

Tom looked at the little wife serious face amused. He signalled her to come closer when she did not speak after a while and she obediently followed.

Before she could speak, Tom pulled her wrist and let her sit on his lap. "Boyfriend?" he asked.

Sab's brain seems short-circuited and couldn't understand the question. "What boyfriend?"

Looking at her fazed looked, only confirmed the lies at Linda's words. Though he knew that it was a lie, he couldn't help the anger in his heart, activating the possessiveness inside.

He was with Sab almost 24/7 and guarded her in other wolves for the past weeks. He made sure that her schedule was full so she won't think of anything else. If she is not working, they will go on a date, do normal couples would do and tire her in his arms.

For the first time, his life seems complete and peaceful with her. He has the reason to work harder and the money he earned has a purpose. It was a happy moment for him and can feel that Sab was also happy.

They were happy, not allowing Sab to be sad or experience any difficulties. For the first time, he founds himself treating someone better day by day.
