Chapter 6

Skyler POV 

''It’s 9 a.m., and you are late!'' 

''What!'' ''I was so shocked and disappointed in Zane’s words.'' ''What do you mean I am late? We literally had a long day yesterday, and I just got married. Normally, I am supposed to be on my honeymoon right now, enjoying my marriage.''

''Honeymoon? I didn’t think about that since it was a contract marriage. Let me guess you loved what we had the other day, right?''

He said that as he stood up from his chair and moved closer to me, he gently raised my chin up and held my waist gently to drag me closer to him. He sniffed my neck and seemed to love it.

''This smells nice; you used a different perfume?'' He asked as he looked into my eyes with so much emotion in his eyes. For a while, I thought he was truly in love with me, and it was not based on a contract.

''Hey, what are you thinking? You look so hungry; have you had breakfast yet?''

I stuttered a little. ''I only had coffee.'' Immediately, he removed his manly hands from my waist and went back to his seat, looking a little bit pissed.

''What do you mean, coffee? You have to start acting like what you are now and eat healthy.''

I rolled my eyes and replied calmly, ''You know, as a wife, I really need time to myself to look different and eat healthy.''

All of a sudden, his office door was opened, and to our surprise, it was Clara Scott, who wanted Zane Hills for herself at all costs and was supported by his parents.

''What are you doing here?'' Zane asked, looking surprised.

''What do you mean? What am I doing here? Your mother told me you were aware of my coming, and you asked her to tell me to come to your office.'' She said as she sat majestically on the chair that I was standing right behind her, making me feel like a ghost who was not in the room.

''Clara didn’t tell my mother that. She only told me that you were coming down here yesterday when I got home.''

''Well, I am here already. You should be happy and make me feel welcomed.''

''Hi Clara,'' I said it with a cold voice just to get attention to myself.

''Oh! Hi Skylar, how is work? I can see you are working very hard to pay off your debt and live the life I have. Oh, dear, you must be really stressed. And I most definitely say you’re lucky to work here, because Zane here will pay you well for the little you are doing here.''

I stood there feeling disgusted by what she just said and boiling in anger. I really wished I could talk back to her. But instead, I smiled back at her insulting compliment.

''Clara, you need to leave; I need to focus on work.''

''Focus? Zane, you are the boss; if you decide not to come to work for weeks, you have competent staff here, right?''

''Clara I need my space, and I need to work.''

Immediately, she stood up slowly and went directly to Zane’s desk. She sat on the desk, moved her half-naked breast towards his head, whispered some words into his ears, and tried to kiss him.

Instantly, I felt jealousy, and my eyes became teary. I tried to hold it in and not cause any attention to myself.

''Stop that!'' Zane yelled at Clara; immediately, he stood up and walked towards the door, looking provoked.

''Leave my office! Now Clara!''

''Really! Zane, am I not enough for you? I am so hot and pretty; thousands of men are dying to have me, and I still choose you.'' She yelled at him as tears rolled down her eyes.

''I don’t have time for your drama, Clara. Just leave, please.''

''You know, I heard you went to the marriage registry yesterday, and it was on the news. Tell me, Zane, are you married? Or are you planning to get married? Which one!''

Zane drowned his head in his hand, looking frustrated. ''Can you just leave now, Clara?''

Immediately, she grabbed her purse, walked to the door, and stopped. ''Zane, no girl can take you away from me; you are mine, and I am yours.'' She said that and left angrily.

He slammed the door and looked at me. He walked directly back to me and held his waist. ''I am sorry about that; I didn’t know she would come here. When I got home, I met my mom, dad, and Kai at my house. That was why I had been busy since I got back from the wedding.''

''Is that how she really is? I know she’s all around you and always wants you for herself, but does she get that close?''

''Are you jealous, Skyler?''

''Why should I be jealous? I am just asking a question. Is there any harm in that?''

''Well, I need you not to be jealous, because you are just a contract wife and my secretary. You shouldn’t be bothered by Clara.''

I stood there in pain and wondered how exactly I was going to deal with this. In Zane Hills, a lot of girls are dying to be in his arms.

''So have you sent the email to the production department? We need to close the deal as soon as possible.''

''Not yet; I will send it once I get to my office.''

''Okay, you can leave.''

I turned immediately and left for my office. ''A son of a bitch, that is exactly what Zane Hill is. He could have prevented her breast from touching his face, but instead he allowed it.'' I slammed the file in my hands on my table and sat down angrily.

''Clara is so annoying, I can’t believe she didn’t even notice my ring. Is the ring not expensive?''

''Oh, the email! I have to send that right away before Zane Hills start boiling.''

''Zane hills!'' I heard the name repeatedly, with a loud, familiar voice coming outside of my office. Immediately, I guessed it was his mother; she likes to be dramatic and mean most of the of the time, and she is only sweet to her grandson, Clara, and her husband, Mr. Hills. A few minutes later, I heard a loud voice saying, ''I do not want her, and I don’t want this drama here!'' Immediately, I stood up and rushed outside to see what exactly was going on.
