Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 77: He finally admitted

It was then that I noticed the small cuts on both my elbows. Maybe I got it from my epic entry, landed on the carpeted floor with my elbows first. 

"It's okay it's just a small-----"

"Ms. Madielyn Davis?"

-'Oops!'-

My eyes widened a bit when I was recognized by one of the board members of the company. When I turned around, everyone seemed to remember me, and because most of them were men, they all give me a warm smile. And in one of the corners, I saw Sandy grinning widely at me. 

"Mr.Wilsons, isn't she your former assistant?" asked one of the men inside. 

The jerk turned to them with the widest smile but what surprised me the most was when he gave me a quick kiss on the lips as he said...

"Yes, and she's wife."

And we heard the gasps from all of them as they looked at us with wide eyes. Oh... awkward, but I didn't miss the loud gasp of his assistant who was standing three feet away from me. She was the one who let out the loudest gasp but immediately covered her mouth. 

But I ignored them all, because of the sudden irritation and awkwardness I felt after he kissed me. How dare he kissed me? 

"I'll wait for you in your office!" I simply told him through gritted teeth but I didn't forget to match it with a smile so it won't look obvious that deep inside, I really wanted to choke their boss. 

"Sure love," he smirked and turned to his PA with a different expression. "Mica, would you please accompany 'my wife' to my office? And we're going to talk after this!"

Mica, the assistant just nodded in response or maybe because of the nervousness she felt after knowing that what I said was true. Of course, I don't have a ring because I gave it back to her boss three years ago. 

I ignored Gabriel's gaze as I headed immediately towards the elevator with his assistant following me. When we were inside the lift, I heard her sniff. 

"I'm sorry Mrs. Wilsons for my rude attitude earlier."

She said as she took out her handkerchief to wipe her face, but I remained silent.

"Actually Ma'am, I was instructed to call him immediately when someone wants to talk to him in person, but he didn't tell me it's you, his wife. So, I assumed earlier that you're just bluffing because---"

"It's okay, but I want to clarify what you said. He instructed you to call him immediately when someone wants to talk to him in person?" I asked, facing her. 

"Yes, Ma'am, he's been repeating it to me since yesterday morning, but I---"

"Since yesterday morning?" I snapped as my eyes narrowed at what I heard. 

"Yes Ma'am, I'm sorry---"

"No, that's not it! If he keeps telling you since yesterday, it means, he's really waiting and anticipating my arrival!" I formed my fists. 

"Y-Yes Ma'am," she said, nervousness was clearly heard from her voice. 

I just closed my eyes before exiting the lift to calm my raging nerves because everything that happened yesterday was slowly becoming clear to me. Why was he waiting for me? The jerk himself changed my status at the City Hall.
