Inside the master's bedroom, Rui was fixing the bed while Chase was taking a shower.
When Rui was done, she tucked herself under the thick and fluffy blanket. She was about to turn off the lamp on her bedside when she saw Chase walking out of their bathroom wearing their couple pajamas. Though his hair was a bit damp, he walked straight to the bed and laid down next to Rui.
Rui gently tapped his arms and said, “Go dry your hair!”
“Help me dry it then,” he said as he pulled the blanket away from Rui.
“Do it yourself! You have hands, right?!”
“But I want my wife to do it for me…” he quietly mumbled.
Seeing the pitiful look of the handsome man on her bed
When Rui reached the mall, Leila was still on her way. Leila was probably still preparing to leave. Her “on the way” is her, preparing to go out, not the literal “on the way” to the meeting place. Rui was used to her best friend's behavior so she just shrugged it off and went to a luxury store to shop for a few items. While exploring the shop, an emerald-cut red diamond cufflink caught her eye. She thought it would look good on her husband so she asked the clerk to bring it out. She examined the gem and decided that she would buy this cufflink. She took out her cardholder from her purse. Without asking for the price, she informed the representative that she would take it.
The whole time that Rui was alone, she spent most of her time cleaning their massive villa. Now that her life is filled with waves of laughter from her son and husband, she couldn't help but miss their simple interactions. Even going inside the study to finish work feels empty. Still feeling this void in her heart, she tried to lay down on the cold fluffy bed and stared at the ceiling. She couldn't fall asleep. She tried reading books. She tried playing classical music that is suitable for sleeping. She tried counting sheep. She tried everything! But nothing can make her sleep!
Chase came out of the shower after a long time. Rui, who was waiting for him to come back, did not bother to ask what he did inside. Of course, she knows. And just thinking of this makes her blush. Her husband came out with only a blue silk robe tied around his body that exposed his glorious chest. His short hair was still dripping wet which added an extra dose of hotness and allure. 'I thank God for blessing my eyes…' she thought as she stared at her husband like a hot snack on the street. She is attracted to her husband. Why else would she give in to his charm, if not?
Monday afternoon, Chase was in the middle of a meeting with the directors of his company. As a successful businessman and the heir of the country's richest man, his schedule is loaded to the brim. Many people wanted to meet him and strike a business deal with him. But unfortunately, only the executives of his company can meet him. He stayed away from people because there were a lot of scheming people who wanted to get into his good graces. And in his pants. Ever since he got married to Rui, he never took off his wedding ring and flaunted it everywhere. Just like what he's doing now. He's fiddling with his wedding ring while listening to the presentati
Leila and Carter sat across Chase inside his office. “I apologize for not informing you guys about our marriage,” Chase politely said. Leila placed her teacup down. “It's alright. We just wanted to see what kind of man married our best friend in haste.” Leila scrutinized Chase. From his choice of clothing, down to his simplest actions. It did not escape her eyes. Rich? Yes. Handsome? Yes. Polite? Yes. Pleasing to the eyes? Yes. Dignified? Yes. Better than Rui's ex? Yes.
[I'm five minutes away from the building.] When she read the text message she received from her husband, she quickly stood up and tidied her stuff to prepare herself to go out. Kenneth, who was absorbed in his writing, was distracted by the noise Rui created. “You're finally leaving?” “Hmm.” “About time you leave, girl! You're disturbing me!” “You're welcome, Ken,” she casually said before swiftly exiting the office. The receptionist from earlier caught sight of Rui who was gracefully walking towards the exit of the building. She felt that Rui was the most beautiful woman she saw in her entire life so she wanted to take a picture with her. For her,
Lianna tried to buy trolls to slander Rui again but her credit cards and savings accounts were suddenly all frozen. The trolls won't execute her orders without 70% of payment. Hence, she won't be able to complete the transaction. She immediately called the bank to inquire about her account. She heard the manager of the bank say, “Mrs. Smith, your account was frozen by Mr. Smith. Please coordinate with your husband. We only followed through his orders.” Lianna was stunned to hear that her husband blocked all her access to money. How could she live without money?! Lianna felt her blood drain from her entirety. What if she went out with her cards frozen? Wouldn't that humiliate her?!
The next day, Rui's name finally went down from the trending list. However, even when she was not trending anymore, agents from entertainment companies were waiting for her in the University. Simply put, they wanted to drag Rui into the world of show business! Despite the countless invites she received, she rejected all of them. In the middle of her lecture, a school staff member suddenly entered Rui's lecture hall and said, “Professor Yoon, the President wanted to talk to you…” Rui pursed her lips and turned to her students, “I'll be giving this time for you all to review and get ready for the lab exam tomorrow.” She quickly packed up her things and went out with the staff.
