2024-10-29 19:42:56As we stepped out of the elevator we saw the staff greeting us. And you know who got my attention out of all these people, the lady beside Adam, she was overwhelming with joy and she greeted only him, not that I mind even if she does not greet me, but yeah she looks different.
Strange some kind of. What was she overwhelming about anyway?. That they got a new member or that she got a new CEO who looks hot and worth hitting on. I admit he's hot, anyone would guess I was lying if I don't say that. And I don't mind who the fuck wants to hit on him.
Jealousy?. Ha, I rather feel pity for the way he treats people. No one stands for his fucking cold behavior and that stupid talks in which he tries to win by any means. I rolled my eyes. Martin and I followed him to his chamber.
Martin commented the pity of their joyfulness which I agreed wholeheartedly by smiling. And there goes the cold bastard's talk.'No jokes when you work.' I repeated those wordsRelated chapters
Married To My Rival. 93. The bitch fight.
I didn't know how the time went on and days passing on. It was Friday afternoon and I went to the top floor for lunch with my stupid fake husband and my department's dreamy Martin.I was walking towards Martin's cabin when I heard some voices, looked like an argument tho. I stood in front of his door and saw that Chamelion Camellia in Martin's cabin being way too dramatic."Don't deny, I saw you flirting with another girl in the canteen." She asked.Wait, when did these guys grow so close that she has the nerve to bark on the person who is in a higher position than her?."I wasn't going to," Martin stated plainly."I thought you liked me." She said as if he was the one who initiated the whole thing."Ha?. What?. I'm not even that close with you. I flirt with everyone. Ask any person if you want." Martin replied with a scoff while folding his hands towards his chest."Then why did you flirt with me?"

I completed my lunch and was on my back to my floor, the other day, when I saw my phone ringing. I was surprised to see the caller ID."Hey, Ralph. Such a long time. How are you?" I asked as soon as I answered the call."I'm fine, Evelyn. What about you and Adam?" He replied with a smile."We are good. Just the work." I answered with a bit exhausted tone."Seems as you have are enjoying it." He said with a teasing tone."Yeah, so much that, I was waiting like a kid in front of an ice cream store for weekends," I replied and Ralph chuckled in reply."So, detailed." He added."So...What is it?" I asked with a small smile."What what is it?" He asked with a confused tone."Ralph, come on. You don't usually call in the afternoon's when you have work, just to ask how I and Adam are doing." I replied and he cleared his throat before speaking."Hey, I'm not selfish. I

I haven't slept quite well since the day, Adam told me I will be the Chief Operating Officer. How can he take that?. Such a stupid brat, I really wish to kick his ass. I went to talk to Master about this, I wish he can help me out."Good morning, Master." I greeted with a smile."Good morning, Song. You came haven't come home after days. What happened?." He asked."Just been busy with work. Adam's on my neck." I replied and Master laughed out."He's taking matters too seriously. He got married a week ago. Evelyn must be feeling bad knowing her husband loves his work more than her." Master said with a small smile. Yeah, if she truly loves him. It's just Adam loves his work more than he loves anyone else."Evelyn supports him too much. They are quite a pair." I said with a soft chuckle."They do are. I wish she was here. She would be happy to see Adam like this...after everything he went through." Master add
Married To My Rival. 96. What the Dream!.
You know what, I hate most about Adam?. It's his determination and keen interest he keeps on one thing. He made me work even on weekends, that's awful. Like always he and Evelyn got into a fight and left angry.Adam was too stubborn to listen to anything. But he eventually apologized to her and made up. He should really know how to treat his wife even if he hates his wife with every nerve.Gosh, my head spins every time I get involved with these two fights. But all the whole I do miss someone if you ask me. I haven't seen or heard anything from Ralph since the last lunch. Is he mad at me or something?. Gosh, please tell me he's not mad.It's Monday again, but today I say it's a good thing. Adam was ecstatic when he heard from the mail that Mr. Brown accepted his offer. He hugged Evelyn tight and I smiled a little and he turned towards me and hugged me.We went back to our works and I was busy with the contract and all. It was lunchtime I took my pho

I went straight to Evelyn's floor. She scolded me for coming but yeah, it's for their employees, I understand. I asked her how I look and she said I look great. I informed Adam about the dinner plan and left.I went to the restroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I fixed my hair and splashed some water on my face to remove this tiredness. I was in the elevator going downstairs when I checked the time. It's 6:45."I'll be early," I said with a smile. I don't the reason for my panic and tension and all this look-over thing. But I want to look good in front of him.I took my phone and fixed my sweater and myself before dialing his number."Hey," I said when he answered the call."Your work done?" He asked."Yeah. You're on your way?" I asked while fidgeting."I'm on your left." He said. I blinked twice and turned my face towards the left and found Ralph there.I walked towards him with a ner

I helped him with the table and also with cleaning the dishes. We finished them and were coming out of the kitchen."Thanks for the help." He said with a smile."Ralph, can I ask you something?" I asked after turning towards me."Yeah. What is it?" He said while nodding his head."Umm......do you always talk this formal?" I asked with a smile and he scoffed softly."I thought you were about to ask something else." He added."What were you expecting?" I asked while raising my eyebrow."Nothing." He said and walked past me."So... you haven't answered my question yet buddy," I said while walking towards him."I normally talk this way," he replied with a smile."You really are a gentleman," I said with a smile and sat on the couch."I'm honored I guess." He said with a smile and sat beside me."Yes, you are," I said while looking at him.

"Will that be okkay, even if that makes us apart?" I asked."We'll be apart if I tell you the truth. It's better to part ways now." I replied."So you won't?" I asked while walking towards him."I think it's better to stop talking about it." He said while looking down."Ralph, you only have two options. Either you tell me the truth or I'll make sure you'll never see me. Adam never says 'no' to my requests remember?" I threatened."Why do you want to know what happened so badly?" He asked as he came towards me."It was me who fucking did something when I was completely drunk. I have a right to know, please." I shouted on his face but my words became low when I reached the last sentence."It wasn't your fault." He said while coming closer and caressed my cheek. I looked at him and he looked at me with pain."I can't let you worry." He said still caressing my cheeks. He leaned forwar

The next day, I thought Martin would be happy..... glowing but his face was gloomy and lost. He thought he was covering up but his eyes never lie to me. The work was hectic so I halted that.In the afternoon the meeting was held and the sales department explained about their new perfume. It does sound good. Evelyn seemed interested in the meeting. She expressed her opinions and asked the doubts she got."So, that's all about our new perfume." The sales manager ended the presentation with that quote."I'm expecting a new idea for the ad shoot in the next meeting." Mr. Brown added. He came to the meeting even though he was of no use."Sure. My team will be on it, Mr. Brown." I said with a smile covering my pissed look.The thing that made me piss about him is not his unnecessary presence it's his unnecessary flirting with Evelyn. God damn it, she's my fucking wife you idiot.The meeting ended and the employees left the

I didn't knew a honey moon would be this fun. It's really been a long time since I went out without any stress or tensions. I know Martin can handle the company but I still ahve my doubts. I really hope this idiot won't mess things up. I hate seeing those kinds. It was a nice move in doing work even during this time. Things were going pretty well."Hold on, let's be friends in the first place. I don't want things to be worse by us fighting even when I'm having a vacation." Evelyn sighed."I was thinking the same. At least let's not fight." I added. I'm really sick of these fighting and I don't want her to cry more than what she already cried.We went to different places and had so much fun time. I didn't know things were this good with her when we stop fighitng."You're working?" She asked."Yeah gotta check some documents before signing. Not everyone have people like Lyla to take care of." I shouted back."What so, you're jealou

I walked back into the room and found the track pant and t-shirt he preapred for me on the bed. I grabbed the clothes and changed into them. They smell exactly like him. Ha, they are tmepting. I didn't look at his house completely. So, I thought of taking a look. I was looking at the room when I saw a photo on the bedside table. In that I saw Ralph along with other two persons. Must be his parents. He looked cute when he was young. Was it during his graduation?. He was holding a bouquet. I was keeping the photo back when it felt down. Oh, shit, please don't break. I kneeled down in a hurry and grabbed the photoframe. Luckily, it didn't break. I was keeping it agian when the below shelf held another photo."I didn't notice it here." I said to myself as I grabbed the photo. My smile faded when I saw, I saw Ralph and another guy hugging each other while the other guy kissed his cheek. It wasn't graduation one but sure Ralph looked younger in it. Were they related?. Is he h

On top of that, this bastard left me with the new project details. I took my phone and called him."Hello?" He answered with a happy tone."What are you doing?" I asked with a casual tone as I clenched my fist."Oh, I just went to an amusment park with Evelyn. She's fucking scared with the rollar coaster. You should have seen her face. She nearly died of heart attack." He said in between his laughter. Damn he's enjoying his life where I was beaten to death by this stupid work."Hey don't hit me. It hurts even if it's a pillow. Hahaha, it's true though." It's been 4 years since I heard that smile and teasing from him. God, I missed that smile..... so much. All my anger and the reason I called has calmed down and a soft smile appeared on my face. I can't resist but to smile knowing that he's finally happy."Hello?. Martin you there?" He asked after getting tired from fighting."Yeah." I said while shaking my head to come out of the tranc

The moment Master said, I can take care of the company, I almost fainted. My body felt numb and I was about to fall when Ralph held me."You alright?" He asked."Yeah, just sensitive to shocking news." I said as I held my head.Mr. and Mrs. Lawrenson along with Master left the mansion and my anger was fuming."Let's go home." Ralph said with his cute tone."Just a minute. I have something to discuss with Adam." I said while gritting my teeth."O-okkay." He replied. I walked to his room and flung the door open. As I entered the room, I saw him packing his bags."You're here?. I was about to call you." Adam said with a smile as he looked at me from his suitcase."What is it?" I asked maintianing my cool composure."I want you to take care of the company for about two weeks." He said adding fuel to my anger."That's what master said." I said gritting my teeth."I know.

I didn't get what happened at the party. All I know is I was having a headache after I took a drink and felt drowsy later on, then slept. I don't even remember how I came home. But the words Adam said scared the shit out of me. I slammed the doors later on when Adam strictly told me that he fucking fired me from the office. I was crying in my room, when I heard a door knock. I didn't care. I didn't even replied, later on the door was opened and felt another person's presence. A strong smell hit my nose and I realized who it was even before knowing that person."L-Li." I said softly and broke out. She ran towards me and hugged me from side."What happened?." She asked with a worried tone."I-I don't know. Adam shouted on me and fired me from work. I don't understand why." I said in between my sobs."I'm here. It's fine." She hugged me tight."W-Why is this happening to me?." I cried out."It's fine. Come to Paris with me. I'll take care of ev

A lot of things changed recently. The work pressure increased than I thought, I had to maintain my mental fitness along with my physical fitness too. The contract went good irrespective of Mr. brown's pervetness. But still something seems off with that guy, he doesn't look like someone who leaves Evelyn easily, but why the fuck is he obsessed with her that much?. Damn, I agree she's beautiful and.... yeah, hot too but that doesn't mean he can act the way he does. My blood boils every time I see him near her. I was trying my best to get another contract but things doesn't seem to work out. Even though we made profit, the company's position in the market is still not up to my expectations. I didn't expectthe company to be on 1st place I would be greedy to think that, but still the position isn't that good at present. Even after all these, I found two things interesting and they are the things that made me happy. First, Evelyn's change of behavior. She's been acting strange lately, I m

"I know, I know. But my dad don't know about us yet." I said with a small tone as I looked at him. "So?" He asked with a confused tone. "So.... He might get doubt and I don't want that. I'm happy that you dropped me. Understood?" I asked as I cupped his cheeks. "Hmm." He said like a kid and looked down. "Good. I'll be going then. Bye." I said as I left his cheeks. "What that's it?" He asked with a surprised tone. "Yeah. What else do you want?" I asked as I shrugged my shoulders. I know what he's refering to and I can't stop but tease him. Seeing him act like a kid, sulk like a kid is a rare thing to do and I don't want to miss this opportunity. "Nothing. Good night." He said with a dull tone. I smiled with his sulking. God, save me before I die with his sweetness. I leaned forward before calling him. "Ralph." I called. He looked with a sulking face. I tilted my head to the right a bit and gave a quick kiss on his

"S-so, you haven't moved on?" I asked with a slightest hope."You're still asking?. Why do you think I joined the company?." He asked with an unbelivable tone."Then why did you act cold towards me?" I asked as the pain regained it's strength and the past events showed up."What else was I supposed to do?. Should, I say, Hello, Mr. Harrison, I joined the company as your secretary just to win your heart and make you fall in love?. Even it sounds ridiculous." He said with an angry tone."Then why did you do that?." I asked as a tear rolled down from one of my eye. I couldn't hold bakc anymore, the fact that he's moved on all along was eating me up and the fact that I'll loose him ws piercing my heart every second. But even after knowing both the facts are lies, I couldn't hold myself anymore. I want to run into his arms. I miss the warmth he's giving. I hate him for making me suffer."Why?. Don't you know it hurts me to see you acting cold and like w

Martin's POV: I said my goodbye to the Harrison couple and walked towards my cabin. I saw Camellia outside but with a anger funsed in her face. What's gotten into her early in the morning?. "Good morning. Ms. Camellia." I said with a smile but she huffed in reply and left. Weird woman. I opened my door and found a familiar personality with his back towards me. I checked again thinking I went inside someone else's cabing but I was in my cabin, then whose is this person?. "Hello. Who are you?" I asked as I stepped into the cabin. He turned around..... my body flinched and eyes widened in shock when I saw that person. "Hello, Mr. Harrison." He said with a smile. "R-Ralph???" I gasped softly. My body started trembling and I couldn't hold myself anymore. I wanted to run into his arms..... I took a step forward but I stopped. "W-what..... what are you doing here?" I asked clenching my fist and trying hard to control myself. "My
