Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 11: Noelle's idea

These past few days have been hectic for us, I mean more on Sandy. She had to make Mr.Wilsons coffee not just once but three times a day.

She also had to attend a few meetings with him, because this week, he proved just how a real jerk he was. But do you know what the funny part was? He sometimes called Sandy as Ms Davis unconsciously. But she never even corrected him and we just laughed when she shared it with me.

I haven't shown him my face these last few days. I was just helping Sandy with her doubled number of files. I also didn't bother saying goodbye every afternoon when I go home like I always do every day.

-'Hmph! This is what he wants, I'm just following his wish.'-

It's Friday afternoon and since we have no work tomorrow, I decided to visit Noelle at the restaurant. I already told her what Mr Wilsons and I talked about last time.

And her reaction wasn't something I expected. She wants me to accept his deal.

"Wow! The last time I checked, you keep ranting at me when I applied to the WEC and now you want me to accept his offer? What's happening to your brain?"

We're in the back office and talking again about his life-changing deal.

"Nice. You used the word 'brain'. Why don't you also use the word 'mind' to make it complete?"

I rolled my eyes as I sighed.

"You loved challenges, right? So, why don't you think about it? Why don't you take his offer? Besides, he's a good shot, Madi. He's a freaking billionaire, a hot and sexy billionaire. If that's just me he offered that fabulous deal, there's no way the hell I'd turn it down."

"Then go to him and ask him to offer you the deal."

"Hmph! As if that's easy!" she huffed.

"And what are you saying... that I should also accept his money?"

"No! Not his money... but his freaking--- sinful body!"

And she placed her hands on her throat down to her chest as if she imagined my boss touching her there.

"Tss! Gross!" I said in a disgusted face but she glared at me.

"Yeah, go on! You can say all those words today Madi, but I'm telling you--- huh! If you've tasted what they call 'God's special recipe', you'll not forget that ever!"

I only laughed at her choice of words.

"God's special recipe? What's that?"

She raised her eyebrow as she smirked at me.

"God! Such a virgin!"

And it's my turn to glare.

"You know what, your boss is really up to something."

"Of course, what do you call about his plans for revenge on his ex-fiancee?"

"Maybe he still in love with her and still can't accept what that woman did to him."

"Yeah, but instead of chasing her again to get back into his life, he came up with this with a stupid idea."

"Maybe because after seeing her again, the pain he felt before was heavier that his love for her. I mean, who wouldn't... if someone you've loved and praised all your life betrayed and left you?" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I didn't say anything but my palm reached her forehead.

"What's that for?" she asked confused.

"Nothing. I'm just checking if you had a fever. You know, saying all those heartfelt words usually didn't come out from your nasty mouth."

Her mouth hung open, and after a while, she narrowed her eyes on me. She even gave me a fake glare.

"You really used the word nasty for my mouth?"

"Well, yeah," I answered with a shrug. "You and Sandy have the same mouth size, full of nasty words and dirty languages."

I chuckled as her face scrunched with my words.

"Excuse me! We have the same sexy and luscious mouth."

She pouted.

"But, seriously... I agree with you." I sighed, leaning against my seat.

"Yeah, maybe that's why he became as cold and distant as you described him."

"You know what, I haven't even seen him smiled before."

"Really?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yeah."

"Then why don't you make him?"

"Haha! How could I if he didn't even let me do my job? He gave half my job to Sandy. And since then, I haven't shown him my face in the last few days!"

She laughed. "I'm telling you, Madi. He's really into something."

"I don't know. I still can't believe there's a person like him. You know, who would do everything for his ex.. even doing such this stupid idea. What for?"

"Maybe not out of revenge."

"But for what?"

"To claim her back?"

I felt again the now familiar 'sting'.

"What if I resign?" I suddenly blurted out without thinking.

"What? No!" she said shaking her head.

"Why not? I applied for this job. I applied as his Personal Assistant, but what he is doing to me? He made it clear that his deal was not related to my job... to the work in the office, but look at him! He gave half of my workload to Sandy without even informing me after I turned down his offer! And do you know what he said when I asked him about it? 'Stay in your place! I am the CEO and you're just my PA! Argh!"

I even mimicked his tone and immediately let out a frustrated sigh as I felt the annoyance creeping me again.

"And since he doesn't want me to do it anymore, then why would I stay?"

"Oh no, baby girl. Don't do that. Don't you get it?"

"Don't get what?"

"Maybe he's just doing all these things to you to challenge you!"

"To challenge me?"

"To make you accept his deal."

"That's ridiculous!"

"Come on! Think about it."

"But by doing so, it didn't occur to him that I can also file a resignation letter for this."

"Uhuh..." she smirked and I looked at her.

"What?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Trust me, He's just challenging you."

"Then bullshit that stupid challenge of him!"

"Yeah... and this is really exciting! Why don't you accept the challenge.. you loved it right?" she winked at me.

"What do you mean?"

An evil smile formed on her lips.

"I have an idea. A very useful and brilliant idea."
