Chapter 5

I immediately grab my hand from his hold but he didn't let me. Instead, he look closely at my hand and removed the piece of cloth covering my wound. I flinched at how painful it is.

“You're so careless. Will you please take care of yourself? You didn't do any good.” He said coldly and I was on the verge of crying. He's still blaming me, I don't ask for him to heal my wounds.

“Let go of me,” I said while crying. I can't take it anymore. I hate him so much. I'm in pain and yet he's being rude to me. He can just let me sign the papers and let me slip away from his sight until he can file for a divorce. But why he's keeping me anyway?

“No. We still needed to heal your wounds.” He said with finality. He called someone to bring a first aid kit to his office. The one who brought a first aid kid looked so confused about why I did get injured. Canon sit in front of me, he held my hand softly. He's so much focusing on healing my wounds. He stops doing his work just to aid my hand. I can see how soft he is, this is the other side of his rudeness.

Sometimes, I can't understand him. He helped me when I was injured at the mansion, then he left me when I was about to eat dinner with him. Now, he let me be his secretary even though he doesn't want it and he's also healing my wound. What's up to your mind, Canon? Are you bipolar or what?

“I said stop staring.” He said in annoyance. I shifted my gaze away from him. I can't stop myself from staring at him. He's so dashing.

He finished healing my wounds and he let me sleep on the couch in his office. I want to work on my first day but he didn't let me, he even called me stupid. He's worried that I might do anything stupid. So I just sleep until someone came into his office. I heard the laugh of the familiar guy. I open my eyes and I saw Elvis, laughing at Canon's stressed face.

“Man, we can just chill later after work in the nearest bar.” Elvis suggestion. Canon just shrugged his head NO. So Elvis looked so disappointed. I immediately sit and that catches the attention of Elvis and Canon. They both looked at me, I was shy so I look down at my feet.

“Lory?” Elvis asked and he came in front of me. I smiled at him awkwardly.

“Hey, it's you! What happened to your hand.” He asked worriedly and he held my hand to check it. I was about to assure him that I was fined but I heard Canon's voice.

“Hands off,” Canon said coldly. But Elvis didn't seem to care and sit beside me while checking out my wounds. I look at Canon and he seems so stressed since he was looking at the papers in front of him darkly.

“Are you busy this week?” Elvis asked I was about to answer his question but Canon get in the way.

“Yes, I have tons of papers to ask her to do. She might be at work during weekends so yeah she's busy.” Canon said with authority. Elvis sighed in disappointment but something might come up in his mind when his face lit up with the idea in his head.

“How about I get your number and I will just message you when will you have some free time to hang out.” He said as if it wasn't a big deal. He doesn't know my relationship with Canon so he's clueless that he was flirting in front of my husband. Well, he can flirt all he wants so I will do the same thing.

I gave him my phone number and I heard a loud noise from Canon's table and he look at me darkly. I just shifted my gaze away from him. It's not bad to make friends here. As soon as Elvis left his office. I heard Canon's footsteps coming to me.

“Really? Flirting in front of your husband?” He said in sarcasm. I saw how messed up his table is.

“We're just married in papers. And I also saw your woman come right after I left your office. Is it bad to also flirt with another guy?” He look so confused about what I said.

“She's not my woman. She's an heiress from the company I was negotiating with. What the hell are you talking about?” He said madly. I can't utter a word. So my accusations aren't true? What the hell is wrong with me?

“So you like flirting with Elvis huh?” He said in annoyance. He left his own office when I can't answer his question. He slammed his office door loudly so I flinched in fear. He's so mad. Why the hell did I flirt in front of him?

I waited inside his office. It took almost an hour before he came back. I just arranged some of the papers on his table, I also arranged the stuff on his shelf. He came back looking so stressed. I can see the tiredness in his eyes. I know how hard it is to handle a company on your own and yet I gave him another stress. He sat in his chair and continue what he was doing.

“I'm sorry,” I said. He didn't answer and focus on his work. I felt so ashamed. Maybe he thinks that I'm a slut and a gold digger. I just flirt with the other guy in front of him.

“I just want to get my revenge on you, since I thought you were flirting with that woman,” I said and he didn't answer again.

“I'm sorry for causing stress on you. I will never do it again.” I said in sincerity.

“Do all you want. I will flirt with any girl I like. I don't care about you. You're just my wife in papers.” He said coldly. I felt the sharp pain in my heart as if someone gripping it so hard. Yeah, married in papers.
