782 Words
Chris POV: The sunlight couldn't let me sleep, so I woke up, prepared for the project I was gonna handle. After dressing up and stepping out of my room, I glanced at the room beside me - still tightly shut. "She might still be sleeping," I thought. I went down, took a coffee prepared by the maids, finished it, grabbed my suitcase, and off I went. I arrived at my company; several workers were already standing, bowing as I passed. I just nodded in returned and went straight to my office. My assistant reported things that were going on: "Boss, the new jewelry director will be resuming next week." I said okay... "Boss, you are going to attend a red ball party." I was like "I don't want to attend" He told me it was a very important event because I am going to meet one of the important investors there, and I agreed. But he told me, "Boss, you need to come with your partner." I said, "Partner? Is it compulsory?" He said, "yes, the investor wants to see you and your partner to be assured the investment is gonna be from a responsible man. "I am not responsible?" I said, "Look at what I've built so far..." He said, "Calm down, just do it. You know how important this project is to us." I said alright, I will think about it. I went out and sat at my table... "Where am I supposed to get a partner?" I suddenly remembered I have a wife at home... but will she come? Because she dislikes me as much as she dislikes this marriage... I thought, "Should I talk to her parents to force her?" Hm, yes... instead of going there to receive insult and slap from her, I should just call her parents... they know a way to persuade her... I thought, "Hm, what a genius man you are." I praised myself... "Imagine her face is gonna be red and boiling with smoke coming out of her ear..." and I laughed while imagining that thought. Maria POV: I sneezed and woke up, rubbing my nose. Who is having mischievous thoughts about me? I look at the time and saw it was nine PM and I was wondering how I slept so comfortably like this. I looked around and my bags were already beside me - this maid is capable. Let me go have a breakfast, but first let me take a nice shower. I stood up, went to the bedroom, did everything a woman should do and made myself tidy. I went downstairs and saw that everywhere was empty. I know that he has gone. Hm, do you think I will perform my wife duty?. I thought proudly. I went to the kitchen and told the maids "please prepare me something to eat." I was eating happily, knowing that I have nowhere to go and my friend is busy, so I just went to the sitting room, turned on the TV and watched movies. I was enjoying myself but I suddenly got bored. I turned off the TV and went up to my room to sleep. I was enjoying my sleep when at noon my phone suddenly rang and I looked to see who was calling - it was my mom. Oh, what does she want again? I picked up the phone and she started saying, blasting me... Oh my head! She was saying that "hey, I want you to accompany my husband for a dinner party. " "What?, Which husband?" " Don't joke with me, you know who you got married to and whose house you are in" . " Mom" " just do what I said? or I'm gonna drag you out myself. " Oh mom, why?, did he tell you that? " " No, we just suggest that now." Your car will come and pick you up by eight PM, make sure you are ready. If not, if you disgrace me... hm, I will disgrace you also" and my body shiver because I know what my mom can do after she gets angry. "I was angry. What have I done to this mom? What have I done in my past life to deserve this kind of mom? Oh my, I have to do what she says before she does what she wants to do. I can't disgrace myself, a pretty designer like me. I said and then prepared what I should prepare because I'm gonna wear a mask because I don't like popularity. Yes, I think that's what I'm going to do and then let me have a short nap and turn on the alarm in case I overslept.
