Our Contract Marriage

Another Trip!

It still keeps shocking me that Ryan is openly making out with Sheena even after marrying me. I should have emphasized on us being an exclusive couple but he bought me & years of my life. 

Next day

I got up early since the nearest train station was 20 mins away from this place. The girl who guided me yesterday to the kitchen happens to be housekeeper Julie. She was french petite girl with blonde hair and green eyes that were extremely kind. I was in the kitchen having my breakfast when Ryan entered.

"Coffee please Julie" he told her and sat opposite to me. To avoid any conversation I ensured to keep my head low & continue eating but i could feel him starting at me.

"Do you like the room?" he asked after few minutes. "Yes, its nice thank you" I said trying to keep my voice neutral. I was still reeling from anger & sadness of yesterday episode and hence it was too difficult to look at him. Few more minutes passed by and all i could hear was him sipping his coffee and checking his phone.

"Wait for me we will go together" he said and left the kitchen to get ready. I dint want people to identify that I am the wife of CEO and become weird around me. There are already too many changes happening in my life. Work was the only constant giving me sense of safety.

I quickly pulled my laptop bag and left in a hurry down the stairs towards car. Mark opened by door immediately and got in the car "Madam shall i drop you to the office" he asked. "No Mark, just leave me to the nearest station please" 

Once i reached the station my phone started ringing Ryan was calling me. I couldnt take his call since the train was already very crowded. I was late in reaching office  by 15 mins. Across the lobby I tried to stop the elevator whose doors were slowly closing. "Wait!" i yelled for people to wait for me, suddenly the doors were opened allowing me to enter. "Thank you so much" i said & turned only to look at Ryan.

He looked devastatingly handsome in yet another three piece suit with his hair styled back and face freshly shaved. Closing my eyes i took a sniff of his intoxicating perfume that was weaving magic up this close when he cleared his throat. I opened my eyes and saw him smirking and subtly looking at the other people indicating we weren't alone. Embarrassed by my actions I turned back and waited for the doors to open. Once the elevator reached my floor & doors opened I sprinted away from the elevator when i heard Ryan chuckling loudly i am sure enjoying my state.

Few house into the work I was trying to perfect the design layout of the homesite for NY group when Trisha came and sat beside me. "Lucky girl, i dint know you had such high connects in this organization" she said with an eyebrow raised. "What..What do you mean?" i was scared if someone had seen my behavior earlier in the lift, if everyone at office knew i am CEO wife! 

"Oh come one, Silas told me your going on a trip & that our HR Head has approved your leave directly" she said."What! Who said i am going on a trip?" i asked.

"Silas told me your husband was friend's with HR head and had asked for the leave. Once you come back can you please also ask your husband to get leave approval for me also please" Trisha said giving me a cute pout. I was laughing at her when Silas came out of the cabin. "Hey Shailene, can you come in my office for a second" he said and left.

"So I just wanted to inform you that your leave has been approved for a week. However it wasn't really necessary for your husband to reach out to HR Head. I hope you do realize it doesn't look very good for me as your boss & mentor" he said with a tint of anger on his face. 

"I am so sorry Silas, i had no idea about this it is a news to me as well, i will speak to husband to avoid this in future" I told him with smile to calm him. "See Shailene your are more of a friend now and less of employees. Dont worry about it just be careful next time. And ya i think your leave approval is from today afternoon so you can leave early." he said smiling. "I will just complete the home page layout and leave" i told him and left his office.

I had to talk to Ryan about this, as his fake wife he can control where i stay or what i wear when i am in one of his parties but nothing more. As i was making my way to my desk my phone chimed. Ryan had texted "Go and pack for a week we are going to Cancun. I will see you at airport" was all he said. No explanation no apologies just an order. I called him three times post that but he did not attend my calls and kept disconnecting.

Completing the layout i sent it for review to Silas & started packing my bag when another text appeared from him. "Mark is waiting outside, dont even think of taking another crowded train" Ryan texted. I quickly looked around to see if he was standing nearby but he was no where. There was a CCTV camera though on my floor just few seats away from my desk. Glaring at the camera i thought about he is monitoring me at work. Moody Bastard! I thought and left office.

"Madam sir has instructed to take you for shopping" Mark said as we were on our way. I was yet to get my salary hence shopping seemed and expensive affair. "I dont think that will be required mark i have enough clothes" i told him. "It is an order from Boss mam, your personal shopper is awaiting at the outlet" he said. There was absolute no way i could get out of this and it was my small revenge to Ryan so I happily met the lady waiting outside and got myself new dresses, shoes, red hot bikini & some sexy lingerie to spite him.
