Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal’s brain buzzed for a few seconds, followed by a huge void, and she thought she heard things.

Adán Rouco laughed when he saw her frozen, “Why don’t you say anything?”.

“…”

Estrella Berrocal’s brain had not yet recovered from the shock, but Adán Rouco had already let her go. “If you don’t say anything, I’m going back to La Ciudad Santa, the group has a lot of work for me.”

The man prepared to leave, and just as Adán Rouco turned around, the little woman behind him threw her arms around his waist and tied his hands in a tight knot.

Estrella Berrocal was a bit agitated: “I didn’t hear what you just said, say it again!”.

Adán Rouco was calmer than his emotional state, his tone was light: “I don’t remember”.

Estrella Berrocal blushed and asked with a flourish: “… Did you just say you like me?”.

It took a little effort for Adán Rouco to pull away from her little hand, Estrella Berrocal was a little puzzled, thinking he was really going to leave and got a little nervous for a moment, Adán Rouco turned around and looked at her with his deep lowered eyes, “I just said I like little lions.”

She asked knowingly, “… Who is the little lion?”

Paulita told me that the lion cub has recently grown and put on a few pounds, and I was wondering if I should go see it at La Villa Rouco when I return to La Ciudad Santa.”

The man finished with a wry smile on his lips, very mean and somewhat ungainly.

“…”

The corner of Estrella Berrocal’s mouth twitched.

“Adam Rouco …!”

She had felt guilty listening to Santino Yepes, thinking it was her fault for standing him up that night at the Banyan Tree Hotel, and that she was sorry she hadn’t slept much in the last half of the month with sending people to pick her up and work social engagements, but now, the man was so mean.

Estrella Berrocal reached out and pushed him away, but as she did so, one of the man’s large hands had wrapped around her waist and the other was stroking the back of her neck, soothing her gently, “It’s not good for the baby to be angry all the time when you’re pregnant.”

“… I’m pregnant and you keep bullying me”.

Adam Rouco squeezed her soft waist with his long fingers, lowered his head to her ear and spoke to her in a low, deep voice, “How am I intimidating you?”

His tone was innocent, if a bit gangly, and Estrella Berrocal glared at him, sulking: “You called me a puppy, I’m not a puppy”.

Adam Rouco nodded, “Well, you’re not a puppy, a puppy knows how to go home to its owner when it gets lost, but you, you ran away from home and if I hadn’t come looking for you, weren’t you going to contact me for the rest of your life?”

As she finished the sentence, Adán Rouco’s face became serious and Estrella Berrocal’s heart weakened, her small hands tugged at the sleeves of the man’s shirt.

Honestly, Estrella Berrocal didn’t know if she would really miss Adán Rouco if he didn’t come looking for her in S.

She looked at the man’s somewhat sullen face and wrapped her arms around his waist, rubbing her face against his chest, “But didn’t you come looking for me? There are no buts in this world…”

The man grunted coldly, saying nothing, but not pushing her away either.

“Adam, do you really think I don’t look like Analena Lozada?”.

Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed slightly and he looked at her carefully for a long moment before speaking slowly: “I have never looked for Analena Lozada in you, Analena Lozada is Analena Lozada, and Estrella Berrocal is just Estrella Berrocal.”

The voice in which he spoke, as usual, was indifferent and unkind, but Estrella Berrocal’s heart felt as if it had bloomed and her forehead smiled sweetly.

The little woman stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down, lifting his little face to kiss her thin lips.

Adán Rouco’s eyes widened as he gazed at her face, which was gradually turning scarlet, a bit feminine and flirtatious, tugging at his heartstrings.

Estrella Berrocal had finished kissing him, her ears dripping red at his heated gaze, and her eyes had nowhere to hide when the phone rang, not from Adán Rouco, but from her.

“It’s ringing, I’ll get it first.”

Estrella Berrocal picks up the phone to the side, sees that the caller ID is Demario Alejandro and gets a tingle in her head, picks up the phone and looks at it for a few seconds while Adán Rouco approaches from behind and asks, “Who’s calling?”

Estrella Berrocal is embarrassed: “He is the director of our department, last night I ran out of the private and did not return, I guess his business did not work”.

At this point, I’m afraid you’ve come to ask for a favor, haven’t you?

Estrella Berrocal picked up the phone and a series of grunts came over the line….

“Estrella Berrocal, you’re a small-time salesman! If you don’t want to make money, stay out of this business! Has President Berto touched you a couple of times and you’ve lost the meat or something? What a reaction! Thanks to you! Now you’ve ruined the job! How do you want to pay for it?”

Over the phone, Demario Alejandro’s voice was so loud and piercing that Estrella Berrocal’s ears hurt, and Adán Rouco, with his sharp ears, naturally, heard the angry words, and just as Estrella Berrocal was about to ask Adán Rouco what to do, the phone, which she was holding in her hand, was snatched from her by a large, slender, beautiful male hand.

“Blaming women for the lack of business? Does your company get all the business from saleswomen? Your company doesn’t seem to have much power either.”

In contrast to Demario Alejandro’s excitement and anger, Adán Rouco was calm and distant, but his tone was aggressive and gave him no room to face or retaliate, humiliating him beautifully.

“You!” Demario Alejandro was speechless with anger, “Tell Estrella Berrocal that he doesn’t want his salary for the next half month!”.

After Demario Alejandro hung up the phone, Estrella Berrocal looked at Adán Rouco with some admiration; Adán Rouco was not only handsome, but he had an innate poise and confidence that fascinated Estrella Berrocal even more.

After Adán Rouco put the phone back down on the table and discovered that the little woman was staring at him, Adán Rouco gently drew her to him, hooking his thin lips into a slight smile and teasing, “A family of girls, aren’t you ashamed to look at a man?”

“…”

A moment ago I was helping her with Demario Alejandro, but now suddenly she’s not serious?

But Estrella Berrocal loved the contrast between Adán Rouco’s personality, the way he was calm and self-possessed when it came to other people, but a bit of a perverted, unbridled gangster when it came to her, the way his heart beat faster when he remembered what he had done to her in the bathroom the night before, the way no one would have thought Adán Rouco could be so indulgent and play with her….

“You just pissed off Demario Alejandro, I’m sure I’m not going to collect that half month’s salary.”

Estrella Berrocal did not want it, first of all, it was a shame that she had worked hard for half a month and had not been paid a penny.

Adán Rouco looked at her and suddenly said: “Change your clothes and come out”.

Estrella Berrocal was unsure: “Where are we going?”.

The man raised his eyebrows, “To take you to ask for your salary.”

…

Twenty minutes later, Santino Yepes was driving the Maybach to the Boa Residence.

Estrella Berrocal changed and went downstairs with Adán Rouco, “Actually, half a month’s salary is only two thousand, let’s forget it, and the Prosperity Company is small, the owner is stingy, we could have made a trip for nothing…”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Once inside the elevator, Adán Rouco’s long fingers pinched the tip of his nose, “Don’t you think you’re a man?”

This comment made Estrella Berrocal blush.

Estrella Berrocal reached over and grabbed his arm with her small hand, “It just seems like a lot of work and a lot of effort to ask you for two thousand dollars in salary.”

The elevator opened with a jingle and reached the first floor, the man’s large, dry hand encircled her small hand and pulled towards the elevator, “They can only bully my wife, I can’t go after them…”

The man’s face was cold and stern and his words were fierce, he looked like he was going to get people in trouble, but Estrella Berrocal felt her chest fill with warmth and she returned his hand forcefully and followed him to the Maybach.
