Three years later…
"Mr. Andras."
Staring at her computer screen, Mimi's eyes went to the woman in front of the desk. She watched as Jean cleared her throat and lifted her glasses to the bridge of her nose.
"Mr. Itou…he's waiting outside."
Suppressing a grin, Mimi looked back at her screen. "He sure is rather impatient."
For the past three years, she did her work at home while Jean and her replacement handled affairs at the company. However, the moment Mina turned three years old, Mimi took it upon herself to return to managing her company.
Since then, Tobias would pick her up at the same time every single day. One would expect to feel smothered or annoyed by their husband's neediness. But if anything, Mimi enjoyed the care and attention very much.
While she was thinking, the phone on the table rang, and sure enough, a man's low magnetic voice came out from the other end.
"Are you almost done with work?"
"Hmm, I still have quite a few files to finish. It could take me another hour or two." Mimi leaned back in her seat, playfully smirking.
"I can help you finish it later." Tobias quickly offered.
Expecting him to say such a thing, Mimi chuckled softly. "Tobias, if you continue doing all the work for me, what would be the point of me returning to the office?"
"…You could always quit your job and work for me again." He said slowly.
That's right, she quit her job at Glory Trade Corporation. One job was already enough. Hearing his words, however, made Mimi's eyebrows raise. Somehow, she could sense an ambiguous tone in his voice.
"Oh? And what would I work as?"
"My secretary."
"What about Juno?"
"He can be your secretary," Tobias said blatantly.
That made Mimi laugh. "A secretary with a secretary? All right. Then what will I do as your secretary?" Her tone became more sultry as she loosened her tie.
She heard the man breathe deeply on the other end. Whether it was a groan or sigh, she couldn't tell. Flickering her eyes to the stiffened Jean, Mimi leaned forward.
"All right enough playing around. I'll be down soon. Just give me a few more minutes to finish up." Her eyes lifted to Jean, who nodded her head at her wordless order.
"…Fine. But come down quickly. Your daughter misses you." Tobias said after a long moment of silence.
"I'm sure she's not the only one that misses me." Mimi joked while getting up from her seat. "I promise to be done soon."
The man grunted before hanging up. Just as she promised, ten minutes passed when she completed her work. Stepping out of her office, Mimi stopped by Jean's desk.
"Do be a favor Jeanie, and send these to Mr. Odo. I'm sure he will be pleased with the results." She passed a handle of papers.
When Jean glanced down, the corners of her lips twitched.
Weren't these recipes?
Since she understood the gluttonous relationship between Lee Odo and her boss, she wasn't too surprised. Even now, as the years passed, the two maintained an inseparable bond of hopping from restaurant to restaurant. They appeared like one's usual grandson and grandfather.
Although in the older man's eyes…she was still a man. A man who married and had a child with Tobias Itou.
Exiting the elevator, Mimi and Jean greeted passing employees, all of which smiled and bowed their heads politely. Reaching the age of twenty-one, Mimi's features gradually became more and more enhanced.
Although the birth of Mina caused her to gain a little weight, it didn't seem to stop people from staring at her capturing features. However, after recovery, Mimi took it upon herself to get back in shape. Naturally, with the help of her passionate and vigorous husband.
Outside of the company building, Mimi saw the usual black SUV parked in front. The moment she was inside a pair of arms wrapped around her waist, hauling her into a kiss. The other end impatiently stuck his tongue out to entangle with her, frantically licking every inch of her mouth. She placed her fingertips to his lips, lightly pushing him away.
"You're much more eager when I'm a man, aren't you?"
"I'm always eager." Tobias's tone was deep and hoarse, containing implicit ambiguousness, making Mimi's heart beat wildly.
But not yet. "You know I can't always finish work as quickly as you."
"Then I will stay with you until you finish."
Mimi blinked and just stared at him. His eyes never wavered, but she didn't need to see his expression to know he was serious.
"You'll be too distracting." She pecked his lips.
"Am I distracting?" The flash in his eyes didn't escape Mimi's keen perception.
She playfully slapped his chest. "Cheeky."
Tobias chuckled and leaned back in his seat, arms still wrapped around her waist. With a pout, Mimi's hands snaked up across his chest. Her hands continued roaming before landing on his thigh. She felt the man stiffen. Looking up, she flashed her large beady eyes.
Tobias felt her restlessness, sighed, then closed the tinted window between driver and passenger. He turned to face the cross-dressing young woman and gently kissed her light eyes. Seeing the love overflowing from her gaze, he let out a gentle chuckle.
The girl's burning hot stare lingered on the man's collarbone and Adam's apple. Seizing his lips, Mimi unbuckled his pants and lowered her body until she felt the tip of his hard length.
"Hmmn…." Mimi licked her lips as his entire mass of muscle stretched her fleshy walls.
Tobias released a content, low hum. His large hand gripped her waist in a stronghold, while the other kept hold of her head, keeping it from hitting the roof while he thrust into her over and over, orgasm after orgasm.
With a pleasured smile on her face, she pressed down on the man's shoulders and lowered her head to kiss the numerous beads of sweat, even more inexhaustibly.
"…Mimi." Tobias moaned between grunts as he continued his onslaught pounding. His movements were like a fired-up machine as he fiercely rocked his hips upward, ramming deep inside her.
"More…Tobias…Harder…" Mimi unconsciously stretched out the tip of her tongue. Her handsome, flushed face showed a sated expression, her posture extremely sexy.
Tobias growled and pumped even faster as he climbed to the peak in one last violent thrust, moaning as he released. The aftertaste of passion persisted in their brains. Tobias's head leaned against her shoulder, his tongue licking her sweaty skin. Mimi shivered and suddenly smiled.
"It looks like we beat a new record."
"Hmm?" Tobias let out a hot breath against her neck.
"We managed to finish just in time." Mimi giggled hoarsely.
Lifting his head from her shoulder, Tobias looked out the car window to see she was right. They were already home.
It was a new record.
In his mind, Tobias quickly took note to ask the driver to take the longer route next time.
…
Opening the front door, Mimi's glistening eyes landed on the small plump figure seated on the ground, surrounded by a pile of toys. The little girl appeared to be three years old, with features like finely carved jade. Her cheeks were round and soft as a dumpling, her black hair tied in two pigtails. When little Mina sensed an intense pair of eyes on her, she turned her face only to be pulled into a familiar pair of arms.
"Mommy's home!" Mimi rubbed her face against her daughter's cheeks.
With a small gasp, Mina pulled her head out of her mother's arms, cheeks jiggling. She looked up, blinking her wet, violet eyes, and patting Mimi's hand.
"Home," Her small voice was rather faint but still managed to tickle one's heartstrings.
Mimi's nose itched, and she took in a deep breath to calm her urge to smuggle her daughter in kisses. Instead, she gently kissed her plump cheeks.
"Did you have a fun day?"
Mina quietly nodded her head, no further words. Laughing, Mimi turned to see Tobias dismissing the babysitter before walking over to them. He kissed Mina's head.
"Are you ready for dinner?"
At the same time, both mother and daughter turned to him with bright eyes. They nodded their heads. Holding back a laugh, Tobias brushed back a curl of black hair from his daughter's face and walked into the kitchen. Meanwhile, Mimi and Mina shared a bath.
After bathing, dinner was already ready. The three sat by the table and enjoyed a delicious meal. The couple watched Mina lift her fork with uttermost seriousness and elevate it to her mouth. Once or twice, the food would fall off. When either offered to help, they were surprised to see Mina give them a silent glare.
She didn't want their help.
In silence, the two watched their daughter attempt to feed herself. Finally, when the piece of chicken landed in her mouth, Mimi couldn't help but squeal and kiss her daughter's messy cheeks. Tobias just smiled and patted her head. Although little Mina was silent and bore an unbothered expression, they could both see from her glittering eyes and flushed round cheeks, their praises brought her joy.
As night settled, Mimi and Tobias tucked little Mina into bed.
"Goodnight, my sweet little steamed dumpling," Mimi pecked her daughter's face with kisses.
Mina grumbled but silently accepted her mother's affectionate smooches. When her face was a raw, rosy red, Mimi finally let her daughter rest. Standing by the doorway, Tobias walked over and stroked Mina's hair softly.
"Goodnight." He kissed her forehead.
Mina blinked her glittering, violet eyes and smiled.
"Night." She said in a muffled voice before burying herself into the covers, eyes closed.
Just before Mimi could kiss her daughter again, Tobias held her hand and dragged her out of the room. Turning the lights out of Mina's room, he quietly closed the door. In the hall, Mimi looked at Tobias with a small pout. He sighed and kissed her nose.
"You can give her love all day tomorrow morning."
Pursing her lips, Mimi could only let it go. Besides, their daughter needed her beauty sleep!
In their bedroom, the two settled into bed. With the laptop on her lap, Mimi's eyes lit up with the screen's contents. Beside her, Tobias worriedly glanced from his book to her.
"Are you still working?" He asked.
Without withdrawing her gaze from the screen, Mimi responded. "Since someone doesn't give me enough time to finish at the office, I have no choice but to finish at home."
Knowing she was talking about him, Tobias pursed his lips.
"I know. I'm just worried about you and your health."
"Are you apologizing?" Mimi's eyebrow raised.
"I'm sorry." Tobias sighed and closed his book. For a moment, she stole the man a glance. Though he always looked so well put together, Mimi could tell he was tired.
From worrying about her to taking care of his own company and managing to be there for Mina seemed to be taking a toll on him.
With a sigh, she looked back into her computer. "You need to sleep. I will work in the living room."
"It will be hard to sleep when you're not next to me." Tobias's tone darkened. In other words, he refused to sleep alone.
Staring at him with an emotionless gaze, Mimi sighed again and closed her laptop. Setting it to the side, she rolled over to embrace her husband's body.
"I will go to sleep, but only if I can extend my hours at work." She pulled back slightly, just enough to look into his dark eyes. "Otherwise, I will have no choice but to work late at home. And you will have to sleep alone."
Tobias frowned and couldn't help but hug her, savoring the feeling of her warmth against his.
"Well?" Mimi continued pressing. "What is it, big guy?"
With a grunt, Tobias released a low sound of agreement. Mimi sighed softly against his chest and patted his back as she could sense his displeasure.
"There, there. I will spend time with you two in the morning." She kissed his hair thick hair, appeasing his glum mood.
Tobias pulled away slightly and stared into her lovely eyes. After pressing a soft kiss on her eyes did his muscles ease.
"I'm sorry…for being so worried. Sometimes I can't help but feel anxious. This feeling. This happiness. It all feels too much. I feel like one day...it will all go away." His voice was hoarse.
Mimi blinked, surprised by his words. After a while, she suddenly giggled and stretched the handsome man's serious, firm cheeks.
"Don't think about such things. Mina and I are not going anywhere. This happiness you feel, you deserve it. Every single bit of it." She kissed his mouth repeatedly.
Tobias stared at her with a soft smile and rolled her on her back. Lowering his head, he kissed her soft, wet lips. His large hand ran up her thigh, kneading it up and down.
"Hey, hey!" Mimi patted his back and scowled at the seductive man. "Today in the car was enough. Also, it's only been a few minutes since Mina went to bed. I don't want to scar our child."
Met with the woman's glare, Tobias couldn't help but chuckle. He pecked her lips one last time before pulling her into his arms. Mimi huffed helplessly and snuggled closer into the man's scent. Just as she closed her eyes, she felt an odd sensation in her stomach. A queasy feeling.
Her brows furrowed. But in the end, she chose to disregard the strange feeling and closed her eyes to sleep.
