Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 7: He's not in the good mood

Gabriel's POV:

"What the---- that stubborn woman! Who does she think she is?" I formed my fists as I clenched my jaws when she walked out.

I just put some cash on top of the table before getting up and heading for the exit.

Some customers were watching our little act earlier, but I just ignored them. I know for sure they were thinking that we just had a little 'lover's quarrel' and my girlfriend walked out.

I admit, the amount I offered her was really a huge amount of money, but I was shocked when she turned down my offer and the money.

I mean, who would refuse such a large amount at this time? I've known her for just quiet for two months, and I can tell that she and my secretary don't belong in my fan's club in the office.

Well... I think she's perfect for the role. She's beautiful and smart. She's not into my looks, unlike those girls who can be easily distracted by my stern look. But for her... she has the nerve to raise an eyebrow at me. She didn't notice it every time I caught her doing it. I can see her through my lashes when she thought I wasn't looking.

And she even rolled her eyes at times, but I was just ignoring her because, for the first time in my existence as the CEO of WEC, she was the first one as my PA that didn't display her body and cleavage in front of me.

She doesn't even show a flirtatious smile or act whenever she's around me. Staying neutral, smiling often and even acts professionally as if I didn't really have an effect on her.

And after tonight, I'm even more convinced she's the perfect candidate for my act. She's not just smart, she also has a strong personality and has a 'brain' in her mouth.

I won't let her go even if I have to double the prize just to convince her, I won't hesitate to do so...

And a mischievous smile formed on my lips.

Madi's POV:

At the office, 20 minutes before our official time in, I was surprised to see Sandy already sitting in her office. It's the first time she came earlier than me.

"Is this what we called 'miracle'? I asked her peeking on the door frame.

When she sees me, she let out a loud tired sigh.

"Why were you so early?"

I am about to sit down on the chair in front of her desk but she immediately stopped me.

"No! Go to your office."

My eyebrows crunched a bit.

"What? Why? It's only 7:40 and it's still early. What's happening with you?"At the office, 20 minutes before our official time in, I was surprised to see Sandy already sitting in her office. It's the first time she came earlier than me.

"Is this what we called 'miracle'? I asked her peeking on the door frame.

When she sees me, she let out a loud and tired sigh.

"No, Madi! It's not me, but the boss."

"What do you mean it's the boss?"

"He's already here at exactly 7:00 am. And he's not in a good mood."

"Ohh.. really? Well, I don't remember the time he walked into the office in a good mood. So what's new about it?" I said giggling as I shook my head.

"No, Madi. I'm serious, I'm telling you."

I sighed. "Fine. So, why did he come so early?"

"I don't know. And you know what, he called me early in the morning to tell me to go to the office before 7:00 o'clock."

My eyes darted in confusion.

"What? Are you serious?"

"Yes. He called me so early. He freaking called me at 5:00 am while my boyfriend and I were in the middle of our intimate something! Forgodsake, Madi!"

I have to cover my mouth not to burst out my laughter.

"And I haven't even reached my first orgasm----"

"Okay fine! That's enough! I -I got it, you don't have to elaborate all the details between you and your boyfriend!" I cut her off before she can continue elaborating on the thing they did this morning. Gross! Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You're such a virgin!" she huffed. "Anyway, as I was saying... this is the first time, Madi, he wanted me to come to work early to make his coffee and his schedules."

"W-Wait.. but that's my job." my eyebrows furrowed again.

"I don't know what happened to him. That's why I'm waiting for you to explain all this to me. You are his PA and you were the one he should have called first this morning and not me. And his coffee---- I had to do it twice to get the taste he wanted. He even ordered me to make his schedules for today. Argh! I swear Madi, I'm gonna lose my mind if this continues until tomorrow!"

"He made you do the job that was for me. His coffee and his schedules?"

"My God, Madi! What did I do to him to punish me?"

-'Or the right question is that what did I do for him to let you do my job?'-

"What else did he order you... I mean, more of my job?"

"Well, aside from answering some phone calls, faxing these documents..." she pointed to the thick folders with a lot of papers inside. "...well, replying to the emails that keep popping up my computer screen." she sighed again.

"Okay, let me take this.," I said getting the 3 folders on top of her desk.

"No! He strictly ordered me not to give this to you and to let you do it."

"What?" my voice rose a little. I don't know if I should be happy because he lets me rest or to be insulted because he indirectly told me not to work in this company anymore.

"So, what am I suppose to do---- counting all my hair one by one until the afternoon?"

She chuckled at my crazy idea.

"I bet he wanted you to do that because he didn't even leave you a single job."

Well... I need to know what is the reason behind these changes. Is it related to what happened last Friday?

"Let me take these and then I'll talk to him."

"No, Madi. Why don't you talk to him first to make sure I won't lose my job after this."

"No, Sandy. This is not stated in the contract we signed before starting our work here. Don't worry, I'll handle this. I'll just talk to him later and don't bother about making his coffee, I'll do it too."

"Are you sure, Madi?" I can see through her eyes that she's afraid and hesitant.

"Yes. And anyway, don't worry if you lose your job. There's still waiting for you outside." I said with a wink.

I took the 3 folders including some documents to check and send to the new investors of the company. I returned to my office and started to arrange all the documents per category.

If he wants a game, well I can play with it too.
