Poor Robert whose only mistake was wanting them to take care of his wife and make sure no one crosses her or said something that will affect her emotions was now marked as a bad person.
Emma was led by Thomas to the private elevator that led directly to the CEO's office. Emma kept staring at the other person staring back at her through the mirror like elevator walls. She was staring right at herself but the face staring back at her was not the face she was looking for. She knew she was no longer her bust she was still hers, but it was not easy to just accept it as it was, especially since she was given another chance at life with another life already coming along.
She had been a virgin as long as she remembered but now, she was not only married but pregnant. Emma looked up at the ceiling of the elevator seemingly wanting to try to see through if she could be able to converse with God through a look so that she can know why all other female characters that had transmigrated got wealthy charming men and they enjoyed being chased after by their better halfs but she....
The elevator dinged to show that they had arrived at their destination. Emma woke up slowly taking in the beauty of the company, the CEO'S floor had a reception area of its own and it was even more magnificent. Well, it had to since those that could make it to the CEO's floor and have meetings with him were also people from the upper pyramid, so it was understandable if the reception there was that good.
The secretaries at the reception all followed their group with their eyes or to be precise followed Emma with their eyes to the CEO's office. It was the first time in the history of their CEO being in the office to see Emma in the office. They knew their CEO was married and that his wife was expecting a child, but they had never seen her in the office.
Well Emma did not know that the former had never made her appearance in her husband's company. All she knew was that she was so uncomfortable with all the eyes on her. She picked her pace trying to walk fast so that she could get inside the office and be away from all the probing gazes sent her way.
The assistant helped her open the door for her and led her right inside the office. The office was in all black. the leather sofas, the huge curtains on the floor to ceiling glass windows behind where Robert was sited. The whole office just shouted classy. With Robert in the office made the office even more classy.
Robert had his head down, signing some work documents, in a navy-blue suit, looking as cold as always but also very charming. Emma rubbed her nose feeling irritated because she had the thought of Robert looking charming. Emma shook her head trying to get the picture out of her head.
'No, no no she was not going to admitted that she had fallen for his good looks, and his sexy body.' gulp Emma swallowed her desire trying her hardest to chant a calming sutra to calm herself down. Gal relax you definitely cannot fall for his good looks one smaller version on her right shoulder said, the other smaller version of herself on her left shoulder was silent with nothing to say not that she really had nothing to say but she was already drooling for the man that she could not speak, her small eyes shining with admiration and worship with drool coming out of her mouth for the male species right in front of her. Emma tried her best to fight her mental battle and finally with very great difficulty and control calmed herself down.
Seeing Robert was still deep into his work with no intention of raising his head to greet her, and the assistant had already run off to God knows where, Emma made her way to the super comfortable leather sofa made herself at home. The softness on the leather sofa made Emma feel like she was sitting on cotton instead of a sofa.
'So, this is how the rich live, and what was I sitting on before my transmigration. Sigh'
"Is it really that comfortable?"
"Yeah, sigh so comfortable."
It was only after she had given a reply that Emma noticed that she was not simply having a conversation with her head, but it was instead Robert who was now looking at her with a playful smile on his face. She pretended like nothing had happened and took a magazine while humming a song, but her ear gave her away as they deeply turned red.
The only sound that could be heard after that were sounds of paper rustling and a pen against paper. Then gradually the only sound in the huge office was of a pen against a paper and snoring sounds. Emma had fallen into a deep sleep on the couch. Maybe it was because her brain had been working overtime trying to figure out ways she could divorce the man or run away and that was why after she had understood that she could only give up on her plan for the time being she let herself rest without any worries and thus as to why she was able to fall asleep soundly in Roberts office.
As it was still early and being the workaholic, he was he could not leave early to go home, something Robert had no idea would change very soon, he carried Emma slowly in a princess-like style and went to his rest area. Robert measured Emma small foot with his hand after he had helped her take away her shoes and she could not help but see it as a wonder as to how a grown woman's feet can be as little as a 13year olds, and he had only realized it after being with his wife for more than a year. It seemed he had a lot to learn about her. Starting with her little feet of course.
