Chapter 35. Fun Life of Marriage

Arjoona was panting and confused after his kisses to Claire repeated. They were both emotional, and for some reason, Arjoona kept looking at Claire's sensual face and lips. He lost control, and those forbidden kisses shouldn't happen. Claire, who doesn't want to budge, even makes Arjoona's desire rising and explode.

Arjoona bent his body against the table with both hands. He still looked down and regained his sanity. He had only been a husband to Claire Winthrop for one week and had broken the agreement twice.

"What do I do now, oh my God!" muttered Arjoona, still breathless. David abruptly entered the room after he saw Claire walk half running while crying from Arjoona's office. He thought that Arjoona might have hurt his superior with physical violence.

"Is everything okay? What happened actually?" David asked in a row and went straight to Joona. Arjoona turned and shook his head while panting a little. His heartbeat began to settle, and he could handle breathing.

"I'm fine, nothing happened."

"What's wrong with Miss Claire? I saw her crying just now? did you... beat her up?" David asked timidly. Arjoona instantly straightened his gaze at David.

"Dave, you know I would never do that, I'll never hit a girl." David nodded.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, then why did she cry?" Arjoona said nothing and zipped his mouth to the possibility of answering. He just swallowed repeatedly and leaned his back against the corner of the table.

"I'm just concerned to your position will be more difficult, I don't her to have a reasonable thing to fire you," David said in a low voice. Joona smiled and stared at David.

"Thanks, Dave, I think I'll be fine." David did not nod. He still looked at Arjoona with a worried face. David patted Joona's shoulder gently a few times, encouraging him. Who knows what really happened between Arjoona and Claire.

Meanwhile, Claire returned to her room with tears and sobs. She sat with her hands pressed against the forehead. Somehow she even cried. The tears just fell.

She felt she had made a mistake by kissing Arjoona back. Claire didn't realize that she enjoyed herself and gave into Arjoona's aggressive kiss a few moments ago. And it made her feel doomed. She thought that she had betrayed her boyfriend, Louis, by kissing another man. Although the other man actually deserves her kisses rather than a secret boyfriend.

Kenanga entered Claire's room felt strange seeing Claire crying. She wiped her tears quickly before looking strange to Kenanga's eyes.

"Why are you crying?" asked Kenanga with a worried tone. Claire quickly took a tissue and wiped her tears. She smiled and shook her head.

"No, I'm fine," she replied, still wiping the tears.

"Is there someone hurting you?" Claire shook her head again.

"What do you need?" Kenanga gave the financial report requested by Claire before.

"These are the financial audits you requested." Claire cleared her throat and took the folders. She brushed off what happened to her and Arjoona a moment ago. Until Louis abruptly came in and asked the same thing. He walked quickly to Claire's table.

"Are you okay, Baby?" he asked in a worried tone. Kenanga turned her head away and frowned.

"Yeah, I'm fine," answered Claire. She only dared to glance at Louis. Her guilt made her even more awkward. Louis then went to Claire's chair and stroked her arm. It made Kenanga jealous, and started to frown.

"I heard you fought with that jerk at the factory, is it true?" Claire was silent and lowered her eyes.

"Did he hurt you? Did he make you cry?" Louis still scolded her with pressing questions. Claire instantly shook her head and smiled. She stroked Louis's arm back.

"No, we were just arguing, nothing happened." Claire lied. Louis continued to stroke Claire's hair and head in front of Kenanga, and it made the girl fold her arms across her chest. Kenanga's problem started with Louis, and they did not even discuss it. Yet, Louis continues to avoid. Now he had to witness what made her jealous.

Louis, who appeared not to see Kenanga in the same room, didn't care how Kenanga saw him. He continued to caress and be affectionate with Claire.

After that incident, both Arjoona and Claire no longer fought or argued when they met at home. They avoided seeing each other. Claire even brought her work home, something she had never done before.

Likewise, with Arjoona, he only left the room to get a drink or was about to leave. Tonight Arjoona just turned from the hip-hop club where he used to perform. It has been almost a week since the incidents, and he was not excited or often lost concentration.

Arjoona headed for the kitchen and took a glass of water to neutralize beer's taste in his mouth. He was a bit tipsy and still hoping to forget what happened almost a week earlier. While, Arjoona was drinking and looking at the back yard through a window, Claire also went in to get some water.

Claire was tired of the various analysis sheets she brought home from the office. She was thirsty and took her own drink. Claire walked with a lazy bob and walked without looking forward.

Arjoona, who also did not know that Claire came into the kitchen, still half absentmindedly, put down his glass and turned to walk. But unfortunately, the two collided until Claire fell backward. And the shocked Arjoona raised his eyes, and with his good reflexes, he quickly bent down and caught Claire's waist until he also fell down by pressing one hand to the floor to support their body. Otherwise, Claire's spine would have hit bottom hard.

Arjoona, who couldn't hold on for too long, ended up falling onto Claire's upper body even though he didn't give her all his weight. Now their position is hugging each other with their faces close together makes both of the heartbeats stop. Arjoona did not stop looking at Claire's eyes, and either does Claire. Claire's two hands unintentionally squeezed the Arjoona's shirt on his shoulders. She was holding on so that she didn't fall even though she had actually on the floor.

Once they hit the conscious, Claire pushed Joona's body, and Arjoona released his hug to Claire. He quickly stood up and was about to help Claire by stretching out his hand, but Claire held up on her own. Arjoona, who was nervous and embarrassed, finally stroked her back hair because her handshake was not welcomed.

"You are such a jerk!" cursed Claire, suddenly shouting at Joona. A half-shocked Arjoona turned to look at Claire.

"Well, if I didn't help, you might have crushed your back and your spine might get injured. You probably don't know if that falling could be deadly," Arjoona gave an excuse. They only spoke again after a long silence from each other. And what happened the first time was, arguing at 1 o'clock in the morning.

"You're just looking for an excuse to grab me." Arjoona's eyes widened.

"You think you're that beautiful, huh? Then I highkey want to touch you, you gotta be dreamin' girl!" Claire's turn was getting annoyed. Arjoona said she was ugly.

"I am a pretty, girl, and you know that!" Arjoona even laughed sarcastically.

"I think it's just a sick guy who thinks you're beautiful. If that was me, I would see you as a random girl."

"You're not that handsome Arjoona, I'm sure you've never even had a girlfriend," replied Claire, not wanting to lose.

Quipped each other, the more uncertain the control between them. Arjoona and Claire just kept looking for an excuse to fight.

"Ohh, you have no idea Babygirl, today I even turned down two hot chicks who kept stalking me at the club to be my girlfriend, see I'm that hot huh!" said Arjoona, confidently showing off himself.

"Shame on you, that girls must be blind. They can't even see which man is handsome or ugly. Those slanted on your eyes you called them handsome, you gotta be joking!" Arjoona began to get irritated. Claire started to physically insult him.

"Hey, why are you body shamming me now? Just look at yourself in the mirror. Your height don't even reach my shoulder. Why are you so short, are you a toddler?" Arjoona mocked her even more. Claire lost button because Arjoona ridiculed her height, and then she hit Arjoona's arm with her hands.

"You think you're a cool guy? You are the one who ugly. Your height is like a power pole," said Claire while hitting, and Arjoona continued to dodge by running around the table.

"I am better than you being like a dwarf," Joona half-ran around the kitchen and the table in the middle while sticking out his tongue and mocking Claire. The two of them were like children who were playing teasing each other. The more annoyed Claire throws Joona with whatever she can take. Some kitchen cloth on the table, Claire threw at Joona, who nimbly ducked. Until she threw an apple and was well caught by Joona.

"Thank you!" said Arjoona quickly and ran away from the kitchen. Claire stomped her foot as she missed the target.

"Ah, you jerk!" cursed Claire over and over. Arjoona laughed out loud as he came out of the kitchen and ran towards his bedroom. Meanwhile, Claire, who was still gasping and annoyed, immediately turned around and took the glass filled with water that Arjoona had previously. She did not realize that it was the glass Arjoona used to drink, and with annoyance, Claire finished the remaining half a glass of water. After exhausting herself and regaining consciousness, she immediately saw the glasses and realized something. She screamed out while stomping her legs. Both she and Joona unconsciously drank in the same drink. It pestered Claire even more.
