Despite having no relationship until the age of 30, I was always hopeful that someday I will meet someone who would love and protect me, someone who I will be with for the rest of my life. Meeting and marrying Geoff is the reality of that dream and I promise to cherish everyday I am with him.
After work, Geoff and Michael picked me up from Pines Advertising. They parked at a nearby restaurant to avoid being seen by my coworkers. Actually, we don't need to hide our relationship with others but I believe it is the best choice. Geoff suggested we tell Mr. Smith that I am his wife but I want to gain his respect because of my abilities and not because of the man I am married with. We will tell everyone about us once I am totally confident that I am deserving to be called his wife.
We cuddled at the back of the car, exchanging kisses. We already got used to Michael's presence and we know we are safe with him.
"I miss you baby." He said and kissed my ears and then my neck.
"I miss you too. I though you were so sexy in the office today. You look so cool wearing simple outfit."
"Should I wear a suit next time? Then maybe we can escape to the restroom to have a quick talk like this?" He kissed me passionately and cupped my breast.
I stopped him from what he is doing. I feel embarrassed knowing that Michael is around.
"Don't mind him. Michael is focused on the road." He said. I was surprised that he knows what I was thinking. He continued kissing me and I just obliged. I actually like what he was doing.
After some minutes, we arrived at a restaurant.
"We are here Mr. and Mrs. Park. I'm sorry to interrupt you." Michael
I fixed my clothes and my hair. Both I and Geoff laughed. It's funny how I can miss this guy even though we were together a few hours ago. I want to spend every minute with him.
"Do you want to eat here?" I asked which I found later as a stupid question. "What I mean is we can go to other restaurants. This place looks very expensive and elegant. I'm still not used to going to such a place." I lied.
Geoff remained quiet. He was looking at me with a smile on his face.
"Why? Is there something wrong?" I asked again. I am starting to feel shy with the way he stares at me.
"Let's go home. I also want to do what you want. We can cook something at home after I eat you."
I couldn't look at him straight. How can this man know exactly what I was thinking!
Michael, who was listening to our conversation, started the engine and started driving.
I pretended to take a rest and leaned on the car seat. Geoff held my hand and let me take a rest. "You need rest now, you will be tired later." He whispered which makes me blush more.
After arriving his mansion, we went directly to our room. Upon entering the room, the desire between us could not be denied. We kissed passionately and headed to the bathroom together. In there, we fulfilled our desire. The more I am with this man, the more I want to make love with him.
We spent the whole night cuddling each other. We were so content just being with each other and even forgot to have dinner.
The next day, Geoff had to leave early for his meeting out of town. He is the kind of businessman who values his time. He makes sure that he is never late in any appointment and he tries to supervise everything by himself as much as possible. He trusts his employees but he said he doesn't want anyone in his company to have a chance doing something behind his back.
When I got up, breakfast is already prepared. Nancy is now in my room looking happy. She knows when to stay beside me and when to leave me and Geoff on our own.
"Good morning, Nancy. I miss you. How have you been lately?" I asked. I mean what I said. I missed her optimism in every situation.
"I'm okay madam. I helped in the chores downstairs. They are now nicer to me compared in the past. I don't hear the other maids talking about you anymore. They are still not than friendly to me but at least they don't give me so much task anymore." She explained which makes me feel relieved.
I invited Nancy to join me for breakfast and then prepared to go to work. It seems the week is passing by so fast which makes me look forward for the weekend. Geoff promised to be spending the whole weekend with me without work.
My happiness didn't last long when I saw Regina in the doorway. I wanted to avoid her but I couldn't since I have to pass through the main door to go out. I kept walking and gave a forced smile at her, hoping she would let me pass without uttering any word but of course I was wrong.
"Isn't it polite to greet your stepmother good morning, even it is just for show?" She said in a sarcastic tone.
"I'm sorry. Good morning. I hope you have a great day."
"I heard what you said to Monica. (I presume Monica is the older maid whom I had an argument with the other day.) I can understand you raising your voice towards me but maybe you should show a little respect to other older people that you. I bet your mother really raised you with manners. Don't you think it is time for you to learn some?" Regina
"Yes, I will keep that in mind. I'm sorry but I have to go now, I have to go to work." I wanted to be nice to her. Maybe she would at least stop bothering me and talking ill things about my mom if I just agree with whatever she says.
"So you think you can get away from me that easy? You think since you're the new Mrs. Park you can control everyone in this house? You are Mrs. Park now but do you think you can hold on to that position forever? Think again dear. You're not the first woman Geoff brought here and I am 100 percent sure you won't be the last. Enjoy whatever you have now while you still have it." She left after saying those things. I was left confused with what she said. I cannot expect Geoff not to have any relationship before we got married, he is not young anymore so it is normal to meet other women before he met me.
I left the place still confused with what Regina has said. I trust Geoff and I know he loves me so much. I would be unfair towards him if I start thinking about his past and judging him based from what I heard from his stepmom so I brushed away the thought of his past relationships. I have to focus on my work today and if I have things I want to know about Geoff, I will ask him directly. Right, that's what I have to do.
I forgot everything about the incident this morning due to my busy schedule. I and my team started to contact people for our ad campaign. First, we contacted some people to make enquire about the possible venues of our shoot. Next, we talked to people who can help us with the props and clothes we need. We also had to set meetings with some people.
At 5pm, I finally had the chance to check my phone. There were two missed calls from Geoff. Just seeing his name popping out on my phone screen makes me smile. I sent him a message.
"I'm about to go home. Sorry, I was busy the whole day. Can't wait to see you tonight. I love you."
There is a message from an unregistered number. I normally delete messages from unknown numbers immediately but some words caught my attention so I opened it.
"I heard you are the new wife of Geoff. Can we talk? This is his ex."
End of message.
