Chapter 4

I woke up to the sound of running water and I noticed that I was in the bedroom.

I groaned as my hangover started to make itself known, luckily my husband made me orange juice and placed some pills for me take.

A minute later he walked into our room naked, looking mesmerizing.

“Good morning my Princess, how’s your head?”

I really wasn’t focusing on him but his body.

“Hey, Sunshine eyes up here.”

He said as he tapped my foot and I focused back on his face.

“My head is fine.”

I whispered.

“You should get ready, we’re going to the office together.”

He suddenly lifted me up in his arms and carried me to the bathroom.

“Your eyes want to make this morning very erotic and I can’t resist that but we really need to be at the office.”

He kissed my forehead and he left me into the bathroom alone, giggling.

After getting ready we left the house, I don’t really know why my husband wanted me there, I mean he was back so I could just last around at home.

Alex jumped up when he saw my husband as if he wasn’t prepared to seeing him.

“Wait for me in my office honey.”

I Complied, he called Alex and he went away.

After thirty minute a young man came into my husband’s office.

“Mrs Cullen, your husband is asking for you at the boardroom.”

I got up and followed the young man to the boardroom.

When I arrive there, Alex and Adam are kneeling on the ground.

“What’s going on baby?”

I asked softly.

Adam was looking at me as if he has seen a ghost.

“They have something to say.”

He said in a cold hard voice as he looked at them.

“I would like to apologize for my behaviour yesterday,

it was totally unacceptable,

Alex didn’t mention that you were the boss’s wife!

He only said that you were pretending to be and I should rattle you up.”

Adam said softly.

“Do you really think that I will believe that? You didn’t rattle me, you were straight up harassing me!

How could you not know that he’s my husband when there’s pictures of me in every corner of this office?

Perhaps you thought my husband would listen to the side of your story and take your side,

I’m pretty sure you must have told him that I was making a big deal out of nothing and that I was being ‘sensitive’ unfortunately for you, my husband doesn’t buy societies eyes with my name.”

I said firmly.

“And Alex, I don’t really know what to say to you.

You have been working for my husband longer than anyone in this company and look what you have become.

I have always known that you had a crush on my husband and it never really bothered me,

because you never tried anything and you mostly kept your crush to yourself but then you do this,

for argument’s sake let’s say Adam managed to rattle me up,

did you really think that my husband would still take your side over mine?

What kind of delusion do you live under?

Maybe you don’t know this but my husband and I have been married for 8 years,

we got married we were eighteen;

so what could have possibly made you think that our relationship is that weak?

I also take it that Adam, came at your recommendation, you risked a well-paying job for this?

You broke my husband’s trust! And I don’t let dishonest people eat at my husband’s table,”

I looked at my husband.

“Deal with it as you see fit.”

I kissed his cheek and went back to his office.

After an hour or so my husband came back to his office.

“Are you okay?”

We both asked each other simultaneously, I giggled.

“I’m okay, are you?”

He nodded his head.

“Who’s going to take Alex’s job?”

I asked softly.

“Remy, the young man who came to get you earlier.”

I nodded my head.

“However I need you to orientate him for me.”

I sighed, I walked to where my husband was standing and I jumped into his arms and he held me.

“You know Mr. Cullen

the way you have me working at this company like I’m employed means that you should pay me,

Baby, are you not afraid that your workers will accuse you of unfair treatment?”

I whispered against his lips.

“This is your company too,

and you are legally their boss so there’s no unfair treatment,

besides I like having you here.”

He licked my lips.

“Too bad, I signed up to be a housewife not an office girl.”

He walked over to his desk and he placed me on top of it.

“If that’s the case, as a housewife it means I could lay you on this desk, and make a meal out of you?”

I smiled against his lips.

“You can and you probably should but I don’t think you would want your workers to hear me.”

He crushed our lips together as he kissed me passionately.

“Won’t you help your dear husband?”

He whispered.

“I will help you if you indulge in me tonight.”

I kissed again and then he pulled away.

“I promise I will.”

And then he smirked at me.

He went out to get Remy.

“Remy, this is my wife, Amela.

She’s legally the owner of this company too,

so what I’m saying is she’s your boss.”

Remy, smiled.

“She will orient you, although she doesn’t work here, she knows everything about this company; trust and believe in the things she tells you.”

He turned his attention to me.

“Have a good day and I will see you later at home.”

He kissed me softly and then he was gone.

I closed my husband’s office door and I told Remy to grab a chair and sit next to me.

I grabbed a couple of files.

“My husband is very detail oriented, so please be meticulous as possible.”

He nodded his head, and I started the orientation.

We did our orientation until 6pm.

“Are you not hungry?”

Remy asked softly.

“I am actually starving but I will eat at home”

I said softly.

“So with everything, how do you feel?”

I asked softly.

“I can see why your husband became successful at such a young age,

to think that we’re the same age but he’s managed to build all of this,

and is also married! That is just mind boggling.”

He looked very impressed.

“I guess it’s about knowing what you want and going for it.”

He stared at me and then he smiled.

“I suppose that’s true.”

There was something charming about his smile and the way his eyes pierced right through mine, it was a bit intense and unsettling.

“I think you should go, I wouldn’t want my other boss to think I stupid and can’t understand anything.”

I chuckled.

“Well you’d be lucky cause even if you were stupid, my husband would have the patience for you.”

He chuckled.

“I guess so.”

I packed up the stuff I was using and then I left the office and I went home.

I found my husband home, playing some good music and cooking in the kitchen; it smelled so amazing.

“I guess you’re in a good mood.”

I said as I wrapped my arms around his waist and kisses his neck softly.

“I am always in a good mood whenever I think about you, how did the orientation go?”

He asked as he checked on the meat.

“Good! Remy is a fast learner, and I think he admires you.”

He smiled.

“Glad to hear that, and baby ! Thank you!”

He said in an exaggerated tone.

“My pleasure my love, so what are we having for dinner?”

I asked eagerly.

“Beef and Mushrooms Pasta,”

He smiled.

“Go freshen up, it will be ready soon.”

I went to take a quick shower and wore my little sexy jammies.

When I got downstairs, he’d already prepared the table and when he saw me, he whistled.

“I don’t think you want me to eat.”

He said in a voice filled with desire.

“Too bad Mr. Cullen because I’m starving.”

I smiled teasingly at him, I sat down and he joined me, we said grace and started eating.

My feet were tingling and dancing in joy at how delicious and tasty the food was, my husband was really the whole package.

Through our dinner though I was fully present in the moment, at the back of my head I kept wondering back to Remy’s smile.

After dinner, I cleaned up and washed the dishes.

“What should we do next?”

I asked softly.

“Let’s have you for dessert, I don’t think I have any more self-restraint.”

I nodded and he took me to bed.

After our steamy session we just cuddled.

“Baby, tomorrow I will go meet Si Ra.”

I muttered softly.

“After finishing your orientation?”

I nodded my head.

“You must miss her, you haven’t seen her in a while.”

He said almost guilty.

“I do miss her but I’m married, which kind of wife would want to spend time with her friend more than her husband?”

He sighed.

“But I get to see my friends often.”

He muttered.

“So? I enjoy your company more than anything,

besides if Si Ra wanted too, she’d make the effort for us to meet frequently.”

I mused softly.

“Anyway, since you came back early from your business getaway, weren’t there any problems?”

He gave me a sweet smile.

“Not at all, in fact I was waiting to tell you that,

all the business plans we had made earlier had been put to action.”

I felt a swell of admiration and awe.

“You truly are amazing, everything you touch you turn to gold.”

I murmured.

“That’s because I have a smart and supportive wife, where would I be without you?”

He kissed me softly.

“Can we go again?”

I asked shyly.

“You really don’t want to sleep, do you”

I nodded my head, as we gave into our passions.

When I woke up in the morning, I was by myself, I noticed a note on my side table:

Hi my beautiful, you were sleeping so peacefully I didn’t want to wake you,

There’s an emergency at one of our jewellery stores.

I don’t know if I will be able to be at the main of office today, so tell Remy is in charge and he mustn’t mess up.

Tell Remy to reschedule all the meetings for today! I might not be able to use my phone but I will text you as soon as I can.

PS: I feel very energetic this morning 

A blush creeped on my face,

I grabbed my phone and tried to call him but it went straight to voicemail.

I hope that everything was fine!

I got ready and I went to the office and Remy was already there.

“Good morning .”

I greeted him as we went to my husband’s office.

“So what are we learning today?”

He said as he bit his lower lip.

“Actually today you are not learning anything but in charge of everything.”

His eyes almost popped out of his sockets.

“WHAT!”

I chuckled.

“My husband might not be able to come to the office today, so you will have to oversee everything.”

I said softly.

“However first things first, reschedule all of his meetings for today.”

He nodded his head and he got on it.

“If you don’t mind me asking, what happened?”

He asked in a silky-smooth voice.

“There’s an emergency in one of the jewellery stores.”

He nodded his head.

After working for a while, we decided to take a break.

He went out to grab us some food and we are in my husband’s office.

“So tell me about yourself.”

He placed down his fork as he stared at me, his gaze piercing me and my heart’s started beating loudly.

“You’d have to date me first.”

He looked serious so I burst out laughing.

“ You’re funny, no worries I will just ask my husband.”

A frown settled on his face but he smoothed it out.

“If you don’t mind me asking, why did you get married so young?”

He looked at me with sincerity and another burning emotion.

“ Love found me and it didn’t let me escape, it found me in the darkest pits of darkness and instead of running away, it showed me how unconditional it can be.”

He nodded his head thoughtfully.

“That must be amazing to find love like that.”

He whispered softly, suddenly the office felt warm , and the warmth was coming directly from him.

“It is.”

I muttered, feeling the warmth spreading all around me.

“It’s a pity he met you first.”

He whispered and then he disarmed me by that damn smile.

“We should get busy.”

I changed the subject, as my heart started to race.

It was deadly silent between us as we worked, I could barely hear the sound of my own voice when I was explaining certain things to him.

My skin was prickling and tingling but I wasn’t sure whether from happiness or fear, maybe a mixture of both.

The time seemed to move even slower, like it was begging me to spend a little more time with him, I want to see his smile more! It’s enchanting.

No! I am married! What am I saying!

I screamed inside my head, there was tension in the room but I don’t know if he could feel it too, or it was just me.

As we continued working, he suddenly moved his chair next to mine and got closer to me.

“You know I can feel your heart beating, and the fact that you sound almost breathless is making it worse.”

I moved my chair away from him and I looked at his eyes, they were heated and I could see the dangerous desire lurking in there.

“I think you ought to be careful, you don’t want to find yourself jobless! I don’t play games especially with little boys, have respect for my husband and his company.”

I got up and I left the office and I went outside! I needed to sit with my thoughts.

When I got outside it was like I was grappling for air! My hands were shaking and I felt unsteady.

I went to sit down on the flowerbed bench across the street and tried to catch my breath, at that exact moment my phone rang and it was my husband.

“Hi baby.”

I whispered, damn I sounded so out of breath.

“ Why are you so out of breath? Are you running?”

He asked in a sweet caring tone.

“Yeah I was, a few minutes ago, is everything okay?”

I tried to steady my breathing.

“Everything is fine but the store is a bit damage, but we’re already working on repairing it.

Are you still going to meet Si Ra?”

He asked softly.

“I am glad there wasn’t too much damage, is there anything you need me to do?”

I could feel his smile.

“You’re already doing a lot for me by being there, baby are you sure that you’re okay?”

I sighed.

“I’m fine but maybe there’s something we need to talk about.”

He was quite for a second.

“Okay, see you later.”

He murmured.

“See you later babe.”

Then he hug up.

I decided to go home and cancel my meetup with Si Ra, rescheduling for later.

When I got home, I took a shower and I texted my husband that I was already home.

I wore one of his shirts and then I sat in the living room, staring into blank space.

My husband arrived an hour later and he looked worried.

“What’s wrong?”

He asked as he came to me, hugging me.

I sat him down, I was feeling nervous about what I was going to say but he was my husband and I didn’t want to lie to him.

“I don’t think I want to go back to the office to help you anymore.”

He frowned.

“Why? Did something happen?”

He held my hand in his.

“Nothing happened but I think something weird is happening between me and your employee,

and I feel that if I stay around him for too long, the outcome won’t be good.”

My voice cracked at the end because I was so nervous and I thought he would get angry, however he was staring at me in amusement.

My husband kissed my hand.

“ So you have a little crush on him?”

I cringed in my head when he said that.

“Something like that.”

I whispered.

“I’m sorry.”

I said again before he could speak.

“What are you sorry about baby? It’s a natural thing to have a crush even when you’re married,

you’re not a robot! You’re human so I don’t expect you to not find other guys attractive.

I have competed with your favourite movie star since we were fifteen, so I think I can handle a little crush.

Thank you for being honest with me.”

I frowned at him.

“Are you not afraid that I’ll cheat on you?”

He looked even more amused.

“A woman who plans to cheat on her husband, doesn’t tell him that she has a crush on someone.

You have never broken my trust so I won’t jump to conclusions and think the worst,

I told you before that there’s nothing we cannot tell each other, no matter how uncomfortable or serious.”

Relief flooded me, but so did something deeper—love, respect, gratitude. I squeezed his hand, feeling like I could finally breathe again.

He raised his eyebrow at me.

“I believe you owe me $300.”

I groaned.

“That jar alone could make us even more rich!”

He chuckled.

“You’re the one who started it,”

He chimed.

“I was hoping you’d be putting more money inside!”

He chuckled.

“You’re so silly, I hired all male workers Just to reassure you, besides I think we’ve put an equal amount of money.”

He smirked at me.

“So do you want to totally avoid him?”

I sighed.

“I don’t really want to abandon my task but I can’t work in a closed environment with him , so maybe instead of the office, we could work outside.”

He looked at me t

houghtfully and nodded.

“That’s fine, what you are comfortable with baby.”

I nodded my head.

“So aren’t you a little curious about my crush?”

He chuckled.

“Not really, it’s quiet obvious why you would have a crush on him, and I think if I swung that way, I would putting money in that jar too because of him.”

I giggled.

“You are so peculiar.”

I said softly.

“And that’s why you love me.”

He kissed my forehead and cuddled me to his chest.
