Sold To The Wicked Him

Ding

As soon as the door of the elevator closed, it left me hanging alone on the lobby. I have no idea of what would happen to me since I was just here because I went together with Aiden.

Isn’t he supposed to go upstairs together with me? or is it just natural for him to go in his office without even looking back on where I was?

It is not as if I was expecting something from him but as his wife on the public’s eye, doing this would just make him be suspicious. Isn’t it his main objective to make us look like a couple and not let anyone make suspicion about our relationship? Hmm…

Now that I am here, I can’t possibly run on the stairs just to catch up with him. So what now? What should I do? It is not as if I am so well informed about the things that I must do in this company. Well, it is not as if I have any…

“Hello, miss. Good day. May I ask why you are here? Do you need something? What can I help you?”

It was a nice lady having a fairly good skin. Her hair is also in a neat and clean bun. Who might she be? I wonder…

“Hello, it’s a good morning to you as well. I am just here to look around”

There was a confusion on her eyes. Well, even if it was me in her position, I would also be in a loss of words after hearing my response. This is a company and not a walking store. What can a girl like me possibly do in this kind of place?

Isn’t it weird that I say those words, but well, it is not as if I can get it back. It would just make me be more suspicious

One of my main goal here is to let them like me, for them to know that I am married to their boss and to have a good relationship with everyone in this company. So the first step in succeeding in that plan… I must … Be friends with them, right? That’s it.

“Uhm, it seems like you were lost in place, ma’am. Would you want me to introduce you to a place that you might like?”

“Oh no, you got it wrong. I’m not looking around to buy some stuff. I was just looking around in this building since I wanted to be…”

Okay…, what should I say next? It is not as if I can tell them that ‘I am the wife of your boss. So hello. Let’s be good friends and get along for world peace.’

I really hate communicating with others, especially if I don’t really know them at all.

“The truth us, I went here together with someone and I would want to look around in this building to check some things”

With this kind of outfit, they would truly tell to themselves that I am not some simple person. Well, it is not as if I am a person with lavish in all jewels, but it was Aiden’s fault for making me wear this kind of dress. Join with the other branded things I knew for sure that it would cost fortune.

“Oh I am deeply sorry. I apologize for my actions. I didn’t know that you were the one that would do the inspection today.”

Well, if I would say I am not really quite sure whether it was me whom she was talking about, but well, if that is what she think, maybe it was alright?

“No need to apologize. You also approach me with kindness and I can say that it was something that you should do in every person you see. But still you should be cautious when you’re talking to someone. Be sure to know whether they are a guest or someone who have a business with the company.”

Wait, what am I even talking about? It is not as if I am well informed about the things that I must do. Wouldn’t she find it annoying that I am acting like I know it all? Oh no.. this is bad… really really… but… It’s just that… this kind of simple thing is…. Something that I am well aware of. Well, when someone is in around… everyone must offer kindness. Regardless of what may be the reason is or who that person was. But still… we should also be aware about things that we must and we mustn’t do.

She then slightly bowed her head. As if it is to show me her gratitude. Well, Isn’t she some good person. Maybe I would succeed in my mission much faster. Hehe

And after all, knowing how I would be here, it is much more simpler than what I am doing with arranging those papers on the mansion. I would die due to that numbers! I just barely make it.

Showing me around, she seems so polite. She even told me the place is about things that I must know. About lobby, about where the restroom is, about the elevator, and even some simple things that is fairly noticeable.

I wonder when will she stop talking. But still I find it somehow helpful for me. Specially when I am just new in this place.

Now that I remember it, I shall go back to where Aiden was. It wouldn’t be a good thing if I would be lost in this place knowing how he can easily leave me at the lobby … for sure he wouldn’t even mind if he left me in here.

I still can’t believe how he brought me here but go on his way without even noticing that I am not following around.

Being left in the lobby is somewhat fine compared to the fact that he can leave me on this company without even looking back at where I was-

Now that I mention it, isn’t it a good thing that I was left here alone in here? My plan was to get out of his gasp. Isn’t it a good chance for me to escape?

With my face almost smiling, I try to hide it so that they wouldn’t notice.

“Do you know any place where I can buy some snack?”

I ask politely enough. Did I sound so excited? I hope not…

” Yes, there is a vendo machine outside. If you don’t like it… there is also a café shop nearby”

“Is that so? Thank you. I shall now go and get something to buy.”

She bowed her head again at me and smiled. Even if I knew for sure that she was somewhat not convinced in what I said. Maybe she was a little confused. But still… I shall now get going.

Bidding farewell, I wave a goodbye. This is my chance.. I can now escape. I can now-

“Oh, hi, miss. Where are you going?”

I thought that I can finally escape. But why am I here in the elevator… going up to the top floor together with this guy?? I don’t even know him!

Who is he? Why does he seem to know me?

“That guy… I can’t truly tell why he was so dumb to not notice his wife being left on the lobby. What a jerk”

He was chuckling to himself, as if he finds something so amusing. But by the words he was saying to, is he pertaining to… I mean… this man.. it was Aiden that he was talking about?

“You are Lea. Right?”

Shocked in his sudden question, I was startled.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes. Why do you know me?”

“Oh, it wasn’t a good thing for me to not introduce myself. Sorry for my late introduction. I am Elton, a friend of your husband. It is nice to meet you Mrs Lazarus”
