Love after Marriage.

Chapter 3

Mrs Maybelline stole glances from Lily and walked to her son.

"She's here already White" she said with her hands on his shoulder. White frowned deeply. He had left his office so that he won't get to talk about Lucy and here she is, still pestering him about her.

He turned his face and saw Lily, trying to leave the restricted room.

"I don't want to hang out with her. I have other plans" he replied.

"What other plans do you have?" His mother asked, with a questioning look on her face.

"I have plans with my girlfriend" he said and walked towards Lily. He grabbed Lily's hand and raised it up.

"Here's she, my girlfriend" he added. Mrs Maybelline scoffed and shook her head in disappointment.

"You are in love with this thing..."

"Mom, you can say anything you want but I won't let you speak ill of my girlfriend" white said, knotting his hand with hers. Lily shot her eyes wide open. She tried to release her hand from his hand but his grip was tight.

"White!"

"Bye mom. I'm not hanging out with her, so tell her to leave" he said and walked out of the room with Lily. He didn't let go of her hand till they got into the elevator.

Lily was still shocked. She didn't want anything to do with Mrs Maybelline, her mother has told her about her and... The man she met in the room was her son. The one that lied about his relationship with her. She wished everything was nothing but a dream. The elevator suddenly dinged, snapping her back to reality. He grabbed her hand again and walked her to his office. Immediately they passed his door, he let go of her hand and walked to his chair.

"Why am I here?" She asked.

"I don't know who you are" he said.

"You don't need to know me sir. I'm just a mere cleaner" she replied.

"Come, have a seat" he said to her.

Mrs Maybelline went to her car where Lucy was waiting for her. Lucy saw her future mother in law and adjusted her sitting position.

"He doesn't want to come. He's busy" Mrs Maybelline reported to Lucy. Lucy smiled broadly and placed her hand on Mrs Maybelline's hand.

"It's okay ma'am. We are going to be together no matter what" Lucy said.

"Thank you for understanding Lucy. You are going to be perfect for my son" she smiled.

Lucy brought out a little box from her school bag and handed it over to Mrs Maybelline.

"I got this for you. It's hundred percent gold" she said.

She shot her eyes wide open and closed the box.

"Thank you Lucy. I'll drop you off at home" she said and ordered the driver to drive the car.

White still kept Lily held in his office while he did his work.

"Sir" she called out. He diverted his gaze from his computer to Lily's face.

"I need to go back to work. I don't have any business here" she said, breathing slowly.

"You will..." He stopped when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in"

Corrie walked in with some files. She stared at Lily from head to toe, wondering if she was White's girlfriend.

"Here sir. These contracts just arrived today" she said, smiling at White.

"Thank you, you may leave" he said to her, still without staring at her. Corrie swallowed hard and slowly left his office.

"I need to take a look at this now. You go sit on that couch over there" he said, nodding his head towards the white couch behind Lily.

"Can't I leave now?" She asked.

"No! You're going nowhere. I still want to know more about you"

"I just told you, I'm just a cleaner. How long have you been working here?" He asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Um.. a month" she replied without certainty. She wasn't sure of what she said. She just prayed that her mother doesn't get affected because of this.

"Who was that lady that walked out? Who is she?" He asked.

Lily turned and stared at the couch.

"I'll wait over there" she said and walked to the couch. She didn't want to talk to him again not hear his voice. She brought out her phone and her earphones and started listening to some music. Her gaze was still on White. His beauty was irresistible. Once you stare at him, it's difficult to take your eyes off him. He has this brown curly hair with golden brown eyes. His skin... It's as smooth and white as a baby's behind. He was just every woman's dream. Lily knows how attractive he is but there was no way she could be with someone like him. He's way to arrogant and rude. She remembered the way he talked to his mother earlier. That already made her to despise him more. She leaned her whole body on the soft couch, still enjoying her music.

People walked in and out of his office but no one even stared at her nor notice her. As she adjusted her sitting position, she felt some sharp pain behind. It was her torso. She held it quickly.

"Ah!" She moaned in pain. White and the other man in his office turned their head and stared at her. For some seconds, she felt embarrassed because her moan sounded like she was having s*x. She stared at them and looked away quickly.

"Are you okay miss cleaner?" White asked.

"Yeah, I'll be in the bathroom" she stood up and walked towards the left door.

"That's not the bathroom. It's the one on the right" he said.

"Oh yeah" she giggled and walked into the bathroom and slammed the door close. White was already convinced that she wasn't a cleaner here. If she was, she should have known where the bathroom is and what was in the other room.

"Cleaner?" The manager asked.

"What? Don't you know her?" White asked softly.

"I know the faces of the whole cleaner in the company. I haven't seen her before" he replied. White stared at the bathroom door and snorted.

"Cleaner my foot" he murmured.

.

Meanwhile, Lily was talking to her reflection in the bathroom. She had no idea that she was talking way too loud because of the earphones she had on.

She rinsed her face and washed her hands. She stared at her reflection on the mirror and frowned.

"Stupid office! Stupid towel! Stupid bathroom! Stupid..."

She was frightened by the knock on the door.

"F*ck! Jeez!" She groaned and placed her hand on her chest.

"Who are you talking to in there?" White asked.

"It's nobody" she said and walked out of the bathroom, standing right in front of him.

"I have to go back to work now. Please" she pleaded.

"I need to confirm that you are a cleaner here. You aren't wearing you ID card" he said.

"I left it at home. I was in a hurry this morning. But, if you want, I could bring it tomorrow" she said. She knew that she wouldn't come back here tomorrow or any other day again.

White snorted and left her side. He walked back to his chair.

"Go and have your seat" he said. He still didn't want her to go anywhere. Lily sighed deeply and walked back to the white couch.

.

Mrs Maybelline walked into her room with her assistant behind her. She angrily placed the gift Lucy gave her on the table and took off her shoes.

"He dared to talk to me in front of his... Argh! Find out who that girl is and how she's related to my son" she groaned angrily.

"Yes ma'am" he replied and turned to leave.

"Wait!" She said and walked towards her assistant.

"Make sure white doesn't find out I'm spying on him and his so called girlfriend" she warned. He bowed again and left. Mrs Maybelline remembered when he would tell White to do anything and he would do it. He has changed so much and she was sure it was Lily that changed him.

"I need to know who that low life girl is and what she's doing with my son. How dare she! He even allowed her into his restricted room. White must be going crazy. I can't believe this! Argh!" She yelled angrily and threw whatever that was on her table away. She tried to calm down and sat on the bed. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She held her breath and exhaled. She repeated it and opened her eyes.

A smile appeared on her face as she calmed down. Thinking about Lily won't do her any good. She has to find a way to separate the two of them. She sprung up from her bed and adjusted her dress. She quickly left the room and bumped into one of the maid.

"Clean up my room!" She ordered.
