Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 6: The offer

********************************

"I'm sorry, did it take so long?" I asked him as soon as I was seated back on my chair.

"No."

He said while sipping his glass of water. He really can't form a simple sentence to answer, can he?

"So, what's with the deal you're going to offer me?" Honestly, I was freaking nervous inside. I wanted to blame Noelle for implanting some thoughts about his deal in my head.

"Madi, I want you to listen to me carefully. Until I'm done talking, I don't want you to interrupt me, is that clear?"

-'Whoa! Really? We cut the formalities but you're still ordering me.'-

I mentally rolled my eyes as I straightened my seat.

"Okay."

"I want you to be my wife," he said straight to the point and I almost choke the air in my throat.

-'What the---am I still hearing Noelle's words?'-

"I - I'm so.. I'm sorry?" this time I brought the glass of water to my mouth because it suddenly went dry. I gulped three times.

"Be my wife."

Thank God, I've already swallowed the water. If not, I am sure I spit it all to his face. I need to inhale more air as his words cut my air passage.

"What are you talking about?" I asked when my breathing relaxed. "Are you proposing to me right now? Wow, so where is the ring? And why are you not on your knees?" I tried to throw a joke to ease my nervousness, but it was just me who laughed at my own joke.

His face was masked with pure coldness and seriousness. And I gulped again.
