Chapter 92

(Cattleya's POV)

I was stunned because of what Gunther just told me. I know that since Daniella Yves is involved again, the chance for Jaxson to just let me do whatever I yearn for is very low. It's already difficult to gain his trust just so he can allow me to do the influencer thing, being a student, and to be his wife, all at the same time.

Still, I won't just give up on Gunther's really encouraging words, and will nevertheless push to the limit of my luck and wish for the best.

I took a bottomless whiff to assemble fearlessness in my entire body as my hand gradually crept towards the doorknob. Because of how strongly I am gnawing on my lips, I could imagine it bleeding and my teeth sinking deep into my flesh.

"Hey.." I greeted Jaxson softly and unhurriedly entered his office here in the mansion. It's a good thing that he's still awake till this hour because I was a little late coming back from the hotel where I was with Finn.

I tiptoe to minimize making any noise because I don't want to disturb Jaxson too much in his work.

“Hi… Jax... How was your day..? Have I told you lately how lucky I am to have you?” I purposely hushed my tone as I drew closer to him. I began to sit gently on his lap while one of my hands wrapped around his neck and the other brushed the back of his hair.

Jaxson beamed heartily at me as his arms also belted around my waist, shutting down his eyes like a baby.

"Well…" I added, which caused Jaxson's adorable face to twist into a grimace.

"I knew this was coming."

I gently put my head on his shoulder as my hand had fun with the button of his shirt.

Five months of being together extraordinarily caused the two of us to be extremely comfortable with each other. I can't say that we're acting like boyfriend and girlfriend because clearly, we are husband and wife. But I know that we are more than friends now. More than we are before. And to be honest, I feel so much happier to be in love. Even Lauren notice my behavior in campus.

"Well, what is it that you want to say?" Jaxson whispered softly as his breath touched my nose when he slightly move his head to look at me.

"I just got an amazing offer today." I shut my eyes tightly when I finally let out my first words for the real reason why I am here. "And it is a really really big one. I mean— more than the Sofiujer brand contract, kind.” I took a long pause to inhale more air because my heart suddenly turned on racing like a heart of a girl asking for her mother’s permission to go to a party. "This one is really unexpected, Jax, and I don't think that this chance will ever come to me again in my life. I know that it's never been my dream before and absolutely never struck out my mind. But, now that it did just happened to me, it feels surreal for someone like me to accept a such an offer that seems to be too good to be true and I don't know if I will be okay if I will let this big opportunity slip my handa. Because it is such a big thing that I believe could change my entire life-"

“Cat?” Jaxson slashed my words off with a chortle. "Are you offered to be the next president of our country?"

I was flabbergasted because of what he spoke out and then instantly raised my head from leaning on his shoulder.

"What?" I exclaimed. "No. That's not it.”

"Then what offer makes you freak out so much like this more than when I told you that I love you?” Jaxson snickered for a bit before his face straightened as his eyes became feebler. “But seriously, when I heard that you got tons of offers from different popular brands and that the path you are putting up with is really taking off, baby I am beyond proud of you. And I hope you know that.” Jaxson uttered in a delicate tone as he touched my face while sustaining eye connection with me. "You might be thinking that I am not being supportive enough to you and that I am the one who hinders your success, but that's not real. The truth is, I'll be the one to support you starting tonight. So, tell me what offer my wife just got? Because I am really excited to congratulate her.”

"I know that you are always on my back Jax... But I don't think you'll be as supportive as you are now the moment you hear what I am going to say." My brows arched up as I clutched my hands on my thighs.

"Hey, what is it? Can't you just tell me?”

“Promise me you won't shout at me.” Jaxson cackled while nodding as I took another deep breath and then tightly closed my eyes. "I just got an offer from Miranda Modeling Agency." I did not open my eyes as I gritted my teeth while waiting for Jaxson's response.

“Aww… Baby?”

My brows slowly lifted and arched as I spread out my eyes to peek at Jaxson.

"— You really are taking this career in skyrocket."

My lips twitched as one of my brows lifted. "Don't you know that agency?" I asked him as I put on him a perplexed gaze.

Jaxson pursed his lips before he narrowed his arms around me. "Of course I do. They are the most favored agency in our country. Plus, their reputation is really promising if I am going to be asked. Frankly, the Ruegold also get our brand models from their agency as well. If you'll be one of them, it will remarkably add to your reputation as a social media star too, which you and your lawyer best friend wants.”

"Uhh... Do you also know that it's the agency where Daniella Yves, your ex-fiance, and your step-brother’s fiance presently, is currently in? Gunther told me that Daniella is one of their most popular models at the moment. Aren't you gonna stop me?”

Jaxson titter which baffled me more.

"Are you okay, Jax? Are you sick?” I asked him again as my palm flew to his forehead to check his temperature but Jaxson immediately pulled it away, flickering a grin on his lips.

My head tottered as I stared into his whole face and explored if he was just trying to conceal his feeling.

"Wait. Is this why you were acting like that?" he asked. “You are afraid of me not letting you after knowing that it is her agency?”

"Well, yeah..?” I muttered in a hush and baffled tone. "I thought you won't let me because she already belongs in that place."

I felt Jaxson's hand as it moved slowly to mine.

"Catt, I realized my mistake from not letting you do what you want to do when I saw all your achievements in such a short time for sharing your photos online. And, you were right. It's not in our agreement that I will have full control of your life. For the past few months, you were doing what you should do perfectly. I think you're a perfect wife. If you are thinking about me getting mad because you will attend the same agency as my ex-friend does. You shouldn't worry at all. I trust you and your capabilities now more than I did before.”

I can't stop the corners of my lips from lifting. Those words that came out of Jaxson's lips seemed to fly me into the clouds.

"Thank you," That was all that came out of my voice and it was a bit raspy because I was really touched by him. I immediately brought my face closer to him to own his lips because I was so happy.

It's not the first time I've kissed Jaxson but every time it happens my heart still skips a beat with a wonderful feeling every time I feel his warm soft lips on mine.

We giggled in between our kisses and then immediately let go.

"I should grant all your wishes from now on."

I jokingly smacked him lightly on his arm then again wrapped my arms around his neck while I was still sitting on his legs.

"But I can't hide that I am worried about you inside that agency, Catt. Are you sure you can handle being around her?”

"Sure I can!" I exclaimed. "But ask me if I can handle being with your step-mother for an hour and hear my answer to that." I said while laughing.

"Well, I won't ask you that." Jackson replied. “Just a little bit more of restraint, Baby. Maybe the next day you won't see them here anymore."

I felt Jaxson smirked after letting those words out.
