Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 19: Let's go where?

As far as I remember, I was the one dragging Sandy out of the CEO's office, but now she's the one pulling my hand into her office.

As soon as we both entered, she closed the door and I chuckled when she locked it.

"Sit down!"

My eyes went widened. I looked like a dog that got an order from its owner to sit down. Ohh.. maybe a moment later she would also want me to roll over. Arf! Arf!

"Madielyn Davis! Is there something I need to know or would you like to tell me?"

I bit my lip to control my laugh. "What?" I acted innocently. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She glared at me as she put both hands on her hips.

"Don't you ever what---what me Madielyn Davis! What just had happened in the CEO's office? What's the meaning of your so-called 'I'm sorry, love?"

"Ohh.. that one?"

"Madielyn!" she pulled her hair out of frustration. And seeing her in that state made me laugh so hard. I really like making fun of her.

"Wait, I told you I'll share this to you after----"

"No! I can't wait any longer! Spill the bean right now! My god, you almost kissed earlier. What was that? Don't tell me---" her eyes widened before screaming.

"Oh my God, Sandy! Keep your voice down!" my face turned red as I looked out of the blurred glass panel of her office.

"Oh come on, I've locked the door."

"You locked the door, yes.. but this is not a soundproof room! What are you thinking?" I glared at her as I motioned for her to get into her seat.

"Fine, I'm sorry." she immediately walked towards her swivel chair. "Now spill it!"

"Sandy, let me remind you, this is not a real relationship, not a real engagement and not a real marriage."

"But why we're you calling each other 'love' earlier?"

I sighed as I looked into her round eyes before speaking.

"He wants me to call him love, I mean.. this would be our term of endearment when he introduces me to his family and when we're in front of his 'so-called ex-fiancee'."

"Ohh... but why is there a bitterness in your voice when you mentioned 'his so-called ex-fiancee'?" she mimicked my words and I frowned.

"Bitterness? What are you talking about? As I told you, this is just a 'fake' relationship." I emphasized the word 'fake' in front of her face.

"Fake' relationship... okay." she put her right thumb on her chin as she nodded. "Anyway, what made you decide to agree? I thought you didn't want to get involved in his 'so-called revenge' on his ex? So, what happened?"

I sighed again as I looked straight at the shelves in front of me, which is why I missed the smile of amusement on her face.

"Last Saturday, the girls called me. You know, my outlet managers. They said they wanted to go out, so I followed them to the mall and to make the story short, I encountered Mr Wilsons and his ex-fiancée inside the mall. And that's it, it all happened there." I explained with a shrug.

"Ohh, Madi, I'm going to die with your story! I want all the details, come on!"

"My God! What do you want, word for word, scene by scene or what? We are in the office Sandy, and it's still office hours!"

"Argh! I hate you!" she huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Fine! But later, at lunch, you're going to tell me the whole story! If you need to recite it word for word or reenact the whole scene, I don't care! Just tell me what happened, I'm so excited!" I just rolled my eyes as she clapped her hands.

I am thinking if that's her reaction without knowing the whole story, then what more if I told her that her boss kissed me and stole my first kiss?

"I have to go, I don't know if he's already calling me now."

"Alright, but Madi, promise me you're going to tell me everything at lunch!"

"Okay, okay. Bye." I rolled my eyes before heading for the door. "You really locked this one, huh?" I said referring to the door.

But she just laughed.

"As if your office is a soundproof room." then I exited her office.

Upon entering my office, I was greeted by the ring of the intercom. I immediately ran and pressed the speaker button. It was a call from the CEO's office.

Mr Wilsons!"

"Where are you? I've been calling you for almost an hour!" the demanding voice came from my boss.

-'Hour? I haven't even spent thirty minutes inside Sandy's office.'-

"I'm sorry, Sir, I just got some documents from Ms Aguilar's office."

"You're calling me that again!"

"Huh?" I don't know what he's talking about. I'm calling him what?

"You're calling me Sir, again."

-'ohh..'-

"Because we're just on the phone, Sir," I said furrowing my eyebrows.

"Yes, but it's just the two of us!"

"What? Don't tell me, Sir, that even on the phone I have to call you 'love'?" my face twitched in disbelief. What are we---a real couple?

"Yes. How can you practice with that?"

-'Wow! this is getting weird!'-

"Sir, this is a company phone. Maybe we can call each other that endearment if we're using our private phones."

"So, what are you saying that I have to call you on your private phone whenever I have something important to tell you?"

"That's not what I mean, Sir." I took a deep breath before continuing. "Why did you call, Mr Wilsons? Do you need anything, Sir?"

I haven't heard any answer from the other line.

"Sir?"

"Send me a copy of the latest reports submitted by the finance department."

"Okay, Sir. Anything else?"

"Nothing so far, 'love."

I gritted my teeth when I heard him laugh at the other line. He's just teasing me.

-'You want this teasing game, huh'-.

It's only 11:50 am on my wristwatch when Sandy walked into my office. She suddenly sat in the chair in front of my desk with a wide smile on her face.

"Yes?" the only word that came out of my mouth.

"Lunch." she shrugged, but still had the same smile on her lips.

"Sandy, don't you have a watch in your hand? It's still ten minutes before twelve. You're so early."

"Oh, my dearest Madi, I won't buy that. Ten minutes--- huh! If we start walking from here to the Cafeteria, we will spend those ten minutes of yours."

"Wow, since when does the walk from here to the cafeteria take up to ten minutes? Hell... it's only three minutes and you're already there."

"Oops! Of course, we're going to slow down, so you can start sharing the other part of the story."

I rolled my eyes as she winked at me.

"I see, great! You are really smart."

"Of course---" but was interrupted when our boss came to our view.

"Ms Davis, let's go."

"Sir?" I got up immediately after seeing him enter

Mr Wilsons." Sandy also stood up and greeted him.

"Let's go." His face was full of seriousness and I couldn't help but raise my eyebrow.

"Let's go where?"

"Lunch meeting," he said casually.

"Lu-Lunch meeting?" my eyes snapped to Sandy's face. I wanted to laugh when I saw her expression as if she was about to cry.

"Yes. Lunch meeting, let's go."

"But Sir, I don't remember you having a lunch meeting today on your schedule?" I got confused as to where did this lunch meeting come from?

"Oh yes. It's not on the schedule, because Mr Enriquez called me directly about this meeting today."

"Mr Enriquez of the southern project?"

"Yes. That's him."

Why do I feel he's not telling the truth? And since when did he approve this type of meeting without informing me to set in his schedule?

"Ohh... Okay, Sir."

I said nodding and looked back at Sandy who's now secretly glaring at me.

-'It's not my fault.'-

I smiled at her before I gathered my things.

"So, what documents should I bring, Sir?"

"There's no need to bring anything. They just wanted to have lunch with us."

"Okay." -'Lunch with us'-
