Chapter 30
The Contract Marriage (Complete)
Morning
I slowly turned to the other side and wrapped my arms around my wife.
I don't find anyone and continue to search with my hands my eyes still closed.
"Huh?" I opened one eye and I don't see my wife. I immediately got up and looked around. It's just 8 o'clock where did she go? Usually she doesn't get up till 9 and often gets late for the office.
I searched for her in the bathroom and the entire house but she's no where that's weird, I thought and called her.
"Good morning, husband." She greeted cheerfully.
Ryouma: "Where are you?"
Teresa: "Oh I'm on my way to the office."
Ryouma: "It's just 8?"
Teresa: "Yeah, I left the home just 5 minutes ago actually Ren had something to talk about so we're meeting for breakfast in office's cafeteria."
Ryouma:"What? Don't."
Teresa: "Huh? What don't?"
Ryouma: "Don't meet him."
Teresa: "Did you hit your head somewhere? What the hell are you talking about? I don't have time for your stupid jokes, look i know you don't like him but trust me he's very nice guy."
That's the problem he's very nice.
Teresa: "Oii you there?"
Ryouma: "Yes I don't like him, so don't meet him."
"He's my bff and let me tell you this husband, you're being very mean to him. You're not familiar with him that's why you don't like him, if you spend sometime with him, you'll too like him hmm? Now I'm hanging up. See you in the office bye." She cut the call.
I remembered yesterday's talk with Rihito.
"Oi today I met Ren, he was buying a ring and he was super excited, looks like he's going to propose."
"As if I would let that happen." I hurriedly got ready for the office.
I reached the office within 20 minutes and I rushed to the cafeteria. Cafeteria was mostly empty at this time of morning with just one or two staffs so didn't take long to spot them, laughing and talking.
I slowly walked to them.
"So, what was the important talk that you called me for? I sacrificed my sleep for you, it better be important." My wife threatened Ren, pointing her finger at him.
"Oh? What are you doing here?" She noticed me and waved her hand.
"Why? It's my office, I can't?" I pulled a chair and sat between them and glared at Ren.
"I didn't mean that."
I grabbed a sandwich from my wife's plate and took a bite.
"Hey that's mine!" She shouted.
"So what? I'm hungry!" I munched.
"You didn't have your breakfast?" She looked at me, widening her eyes.
"I had some work to finish and now can't I even have breakfast with my own wife?" I looked at her raising my brows.
"What's wrong with you? You're acting weird." She eyed me suspiciously.
"Leave it Teresa, here you can have mine." Ren offered his sandwich, she was about to take a bite, I snatched it.
"Ah so hungry!" I munched it. "Oh you want some?" I offered her.
"Forget it. I'll just get another." She glared at me and walked to the counter. What she can have his and not mine? I pouted.
Third person's P.O.V
After half an hour, cafeteria started to fill up. Almost every staff had their breakfast at the office's cafeteria because they didn't want to be late for the office, because they would be fired if they were late even by a minute. The employees were staring at their boss, how odd to find him in the cafeteria that too with his new secretary. They didn't know Teresa was his wife, yet. Ryouma just glared at them and told to mind their own business.
"We better leave the place for others." Teresa suggested.
"Yeah let's go." They got up and started to leave.
"Hey wait! you were in such a hurry? what's with your collar?" Teresa fixed her husband's collar.
"Thanks, wifey." He kissed her on the lips and went to his cabin with a smile that now he has made sure to everyone that Teresa was his and now no one will try to make a pass on her.
The whole people in cafeteria looked on shocked seeing their boss smile because they've never seen their boss being sweet to anyone, according to them he was a demon who didn't even know how to smile. Until now they didn't know Teresa was his wife but now they did and regretted talking bad about him in front of her. The thought never crossed their mind about Teresa being their boss's wife because more than them she used to badmouth about him.
"You okay, Teresa?" Ren waved his hands in front of her eyes to get her out of the shock.
"I don't know, I'm getting dizzy." Teresa shaked her head and walked out with a blushing face.
Throughout the day, Ryouma didn't leave his wife and her best friend alone because he didn't want to have their important talk.
"Hey Teresa, we need to talk." Ren called her as she was printing out some documents.
"oh I'm so sorry, I forgot. Yes what is it?" She smiled at him.
"Can we talk in private?" He looked at the other staffs around them.
"Yeah sure." She smiled.
"No. You have works to do." her husband appeared out of now where.
"I did and it's only for a while and our talk would have already finished if you didn't interrupt us this morning." She accused him.
"This is office, if you guys want to discuss your private lives do it after office hours." He glared at Ren.
"I'm watching you since morning, why are you trying to mess with me?" She got angry.
"It's okay Teresa. He's right let's meet after the office hours." Ren excused himself.
"What is the work?" Teresa asked her arrogant husband/ boss after reaching his cabin.
"Bring me a cup of coffee." He said with a smile.
"Huh?"
"I have works and if you have enough time to flirt with others why not make me coffee?" Ryouma taunted her.
"oii i'm telling you to stop messing with me. What do you mean by flirting with others? Ren is my best friend." she glared at him.
"I'm not messing with you. What is the job of secretary? To make sure that your boss can work without any problem, I'm tired and that will hamper my work so be a good secretary and bring me some coffee." He simply smiled.
"Okay, then say so that you want some coffee. Don't say the things you don't mean like flirting with others. And here i'm trying not to fight with you anymore." She walked out.
After few minutes
"What's with this? Why is it so bitter?" Ryouma made a disgusted look.
"I thought you hate sweets and love black, so a super black coffee for you." Teresa said innocently.
"Yeah but doesn't mean you'll get me a literal black coffee without a pinch of sugar." Her husband glared at her.
"Okay chill, my super arrogant boss, I'll get you some sugar." She walked out.
After a while
"It's too cold now, make a new one." He handed her the cup.
After a while
"It's too sweet, what're you doing?" He shouted.
Teresa: "Wait, if you tell me go and make coffee I'll make according to my taste,tell me the amount of coffee and sugar you want to have?"
Ryouma: "It better be good now."
"Now that I'll make according to what you've told me, it'll be." She said with a smile and walked out.
After a while
"It's too hot. Keep it there." He said focusing on his laptop.
After a while
"Why is it so cold?" He shouted tasting the coffee.
"It's been half an hour since I brought the coffee, of course it'll be cold don't shout at me." Teresa was clearly annoyed by his behavior.
"Why shouldn't I? It tastes bad, of course it will after all your focus is in your phone texting and flirting with your best friend." He shouted at her.
"Argh!! Hot, cold, bitter, sweet how is it now or would you like some more?" Teresa got annoyed and poured the coffee on his head.'flirting?' how can he say that? And she's been telling him Ren is her best friend but he still keeps on talking rubbish.
"You mad woman! What have you done?" Ryouma shouted.
"I resign. I know you've kept me as your secretary to help me and I'm very grateful for that and here I thought I won't fight with you anymore. Do you realize this whole day you've made coffee from me and this time I made it according to your choice and you still have problem? I don't know why you're behaving so weird since morning but there's a limit to which I can bear with your arrogance." She shouted at him.
"Here is a brand new coffee machine for you now if you want some make it by yourself." She pointed at the coffee machine in the janitor's hands.
" and yes the office hours are over plus I'm not your secretary anymore, don't you dare interfere in my business! Now according to you, if I go and flirt around, it shouldn't be a problem right? Bye." She walked out of the room stomping her feet.
