All Chapters of The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“I’m sorry, okay?” Darwin bugged me while I was pulling the cart on the second aisle. “It’s just that I want to help.” I did not talk to him and just continued looking for valuable products on the shelves. I am irritated as of now, and he is following me like a dog behind me. I heard him mutter some series of bad curses. While holding a can of spam, I simply slid my eyes on the circled mirror above the shelf, making me see Darwin’s casual outfit. He is currently wearing a tight white t-shirt, tracing his biceps and muscles. He was also on urban shorts and a pair of rubber shoes. If I remember, he is already thirty-one years old, and yet, he looks like he is still in twenty’s. I wonder if I look old. I am twenty-nine, all right? And I am anxious that my appearance is aging fast! “Jill…” he tugged my t-shirt. “Please… why d

My jaw was dropping the whole time I watched him cook the ingredients we bought from the convenience store. He skillfully chopped the vegetables, made preparations for Italian pasta, and even dominated the whole stove. It was so natural for him to flip the frying pan while the meat is being cooked.“Hey, I think you are salivating too much,” Darwin teased when he noticed that I was hanging my mouth while watching him cook beside me. “Do you want to taste my meat?”I unconsciously nodded while looking at the meat he was cooking. I saw him smirking playfully before he removed the meat from the frying pan. Using a slotted turner, he placed the meat on a clean ceramic plate. He withdrew a spoon and a dining knife from a rack, giving them to me.Oh, my goodness. His meat looks so delicious!Without further ado, I accepted the utensils and started to slice the juicy meat. When I have forked it successfully, I looked at it with amusement before eating and chewing it languidly. My eyes widene

“Do you want another batch of popcorn?” I asked Darwin when the bowl we were sharing from the glass table is now empty.“No. Just stay here and let’s finish the movie,” he informed me, so I nodded and just comfortably leaned against the backrest of the sofa not far away from him.We are currently watching the movie ‘Jumanji’ which is very popular nowadays among teenagers. I was the one who recommended it because I look up to Dwayne Johnson a lot and I also want to see Darwin be amused by my idol.However, we are now in the middle of the movie, and every time I gaze at him to check if he is astonished by the actor, I would merely furrow my eyebrows because he was just deadpan and listless.Like hello? He is watching the most amazing actor in the whole world which is based on my perception, and he is just… bestowing uninterest towards The Rock?“Do you enjoy the movie?” I could not help myself anymore but ask. He turned to me. “Yes,” he said coldly. “I am profoundly entertained.”I twi

"You're kidding me," I said it again more emphatically this time. "You can't have a fiancee if you are going to be like that.""Like what?" he listlessly said and shot his eyebrow, his eyes remained on the television. "So choosy!" I exclaimed. "Look, this is my advice for you as a casual friend of yours. If you want to include yourself into a serious and a romantic relationship, you have to take risk and try it, you know?"He turned to me profoundly and shifted his weight so he can confront me. "I have no experience in romantic relationships that you are telling me," he stated and gazed at my side as if thinking something. He cleared his throat before he focused his eyes on me. "Romantic relationships are not my thing.""That is obvious on a stern man like you," I frankly said, which made him frown. "But I can tell you things.""Okay, then," he said and squatted in front of me, his broad shoulders almost dominating my shadow between us. "What do couples do when they are in a relatio

I could see through his eyes that he was being affected, especially when he slightly flinched the moment I slid my hand down to his necktie. Without further ado, I grabbed the paper he signed and stood up straightly. He was still motionless while I was flipping my hair, his gaze being serious at the moment and the playfulness has been eradicated after I played with him.“I am sorry to disturb your consciousness, Mr. Montenegro, and take that as a lesson to never mess with me,” I said firmly and turned my back on him, not regretting every word I said.Does he think that I forgot that he insulted me in their first and second dinner in their mansion? If he just knows me, he would know that I don’t easily forgive and I also do not know how to forget. Duh!I rolled my eyes while walking throughout the busy hallways that contained employees who greeted me. I rode an elevator to go to my boss’ office where I know that is having his work time in his office.“Good afternoon, sir,” I greeted wh
