Chloe's POV****
I sat in the center of my room, my gaze fixed on the mirror while I felt the softness of the air that was emanating from the window.
After Richard and I arrived at his mansion yesterday, I was in awe at the large building, while I thought that his estate outside the country where the both of us had met, this one was massive and the design was so unique.
He had painted the room before my arrival, knowing how much I am in love with white color, he went extra miles with the designs, adding a touch of blue and baby pink.
I had no idea that these three designs would go so perfectly and I fell in love with the room as soon as I walked in.
“I want you to have your own room, as much as I want to be close to you all the time and have you wrapped around my arms l, I know that you might always need some privacy”
He expressed, his voice so calm, that was one of the personalities about Richard that I had grown to love, always knowing when to give me space.
Earlier today, he had informed me about a meeting with his board and how he wanted me to meet with them.
Although I was done applying just the right amount of makeup on my face, yet I could not decide what to wear.
While I was still engrossed, ruffling through my wardrobe, there was a knock at the door and before I would even get the chance to speak, Richard swung the door open, carefully walking towards me.
He was dressed in a designer gray suit that seemed to have suited his body color properly, the suit hung firmly around his broad shoulders and as soon as he stepped foot inside, my room was welcomed with the warmth of his expensive perfume.
“You are not dressed yet?” He asked, despite the fact that he was on a time scheduled, yet he still found a way to place a smile on his face.
“I have no idea what to wear” I explained and then presented the blue gown to him, although the blue color is radiant, yet I was reluctant to wear it.
“This is beautiful, why not wear it?” He suggested but I pouted my lips, staring reluctantly at the dress.
“Yes, it's pretty but it has a slid and I feel like your board members might think of me as an in responsible lady”
“That is not true, no one will dare think such about my wife!”
“Yes it's true, the slit goes all the way to my thigh and then I there is this skirt, it so silky and always gave me that look which I love each time I am wearing it”
“Okay…. Then why aren't you wearing it?” He furrowed his brows, his expression etched with confusion.
“It's way above my knee and might seem inappropriate” I went ahead to complain and this time, I could tell that he was confused and had no idea what to say.
I placed the dresses on the bed, both my arms wrapped around his knee and with a comforting smile on my face, I stared at him.
“I know how much effort that you have put into this company to have grown it into what it is today, I don't want to ruin it for you”
“You are never going to ruin it, you are the most hardworking and intelligent woman that I have ever met, the only one able to turn any situation to her advantage”
My face had turned flustered red, his words had the ability to set any woman at the edge, he gently placed a kiss on my lips before I pulled away.
“Fine, I will get ready now”
“I will have the driver bring you over to the office, but for now, I have to run along, there are a few things that I need to take care of as soon as possible”
I nodded my head at his request, my face still consumed with a smile as it seemed like my cheek was starting to hurt.
Once he had left the room, I did not hesitate this time and started shuffling through the wardrobe, this time, my gaze finally landed on a white jumpsuit.
It had caught my attention the moment that I set my eyes on it and without hesitation, I picked it and slid right into it.
Staring at my reflection in the mirror, it had hung properly around my curved figure, giving me just the perfect shape that I desire.
A smile of satisfaction spread through my lips and without further hesitation, I went ahead to get my hair done before grabbing my designer purse and stepping out of the room.
The driver was outside waiting for me, he quickly opened up the car and once I had settled in, he drove off.
The moment the call came to a halt right before the company, I alighted from the car, clutching onto my purse in a sophisticated manner but just then, there was Lyon, who had just alighted from his car.
The moment his gaze locked with mine, he froze right there, his gaze wide open as they slowly trailed down from my head all the way to my toe.
“Wow! Chloe, I never knew that I would bump into here”
“And is that even supposed to be a thing?”
“No, I mean, I am just stunned because I thought that you would probably be having some rest since it was your wedding just yesterday and I just say, you look pretty”
He licked his lips, his eyes ran down through me, I could see the l**t in them which only made me feel disgust.
“What do you expect from Lyon, when you are married to a man who knows how to take care of his woman….”
“Chloe please….”
“That is enough Lyon, I don't think that I want to stand here and have this conversation with you”
“Please….” He tried to be persistent, but I rolled my gaze at him, waving my hand dismissively at him before striding towards the elevator.
But as soon as we had both arrived at the conference hall and were seated before the board, Lyon was indeed stunned at the announcement that Richard had just made.
