Chereads / MY STATUS : SUDDENLY MARRIED !!! / Chapter 21 - No Escape

Chapter 21 - No Escape

Sean hasn't headed to the office this afternoon because he'll be driving me to the airport later as Rachel will flight back to her home country. I want to send her off seeing we don't know when will we meet again. When we arrived at the airport, Rachel waved to me. As soon as I reach her, Rachel handed me a large paper bag and said, "Next time I come back here, I want to hold my niece." When I heard that, my brow furrowed and I asked, "What do you mean?"

 

" You'll understand once you have opened it. Better opened it together with your husband tonight. He 'll like it. " Rachel cast a quick glance. Not long after, the call to board of Rachel's flight was heard. Rachel said her goodbyes to her aunt's family, who had also come with her. She also advised Sean to look after her best friend, to which Sean replied emphatically that she didn't need to worry.

 

Rachel let go of her embrace which take a long time, walked away, and waved to all of us before disappearing behind the visitor's boundary door. Sean grabbed my shoulder and gently rubbed it, as if to comfort me. I returned his gentle gaze and rested my head on his shoulder. We then left the airport with Aunt Rachel's family, who had accompanied her.

 

 

Instead of driving me home from the airport, Sean took me to his office. I agreed because I didn't want to disrupt his time by having him take me back to the house first. His car approached a high-rise building with the letters A.J Company. Sean opened the car door for me after stopping at the parking lot. He extended his hand to me before I got off from the car. He gave me a faint smile as he noticed how surprised I was to see the building.

 

He took my hand and led me out of the car. His hand gripped mine so tightly as he walked towards the building. I simply follow where he leads me. After passing through an automatic door, you will see a large, clean and tidy lobby. When we entered the lobby, everyone looked at us and bowed their heads in respect. Sean returned their greeting with a nod, and I hesitantly followed Sean, nodding as well. Alden and Lewis were seen walking towards us with smiles on their faces in the middle of the room.

 

They both enthusiastically greeted us. We continue our walk towards the elevator in the center of the room. "It's nice to see both of you intimate like this," Alden and Lewis started joined a team to tease us after the elevator doors closed, making me smile shyly. please don't do it all the time. " It is not possible if I hold hands with him," Alden said, making Lewis shudder.

 

"Who are willing to hold your hand?" "I'm still a normal person." Alden laughed once more. "That's why I said don't do it all the time." It makes other people envious to see them so close. Have mercy on those of us who don't have girlfriends." Lewis responded. "Shh, act as if you didn't see anything. We're nothing more than mosquitoes here. I N V I S I B L E.." Lewis move his hands into the air.

 

Sean responded by hitting his friend on the arm, saying, "Don't embarrass my wife." "OK," said Alden and Lewis with their hand gesture of agreement. When the elevator doors opened, we were greeted by a polite and well-dressed woman who immediately lowered her head as we exited. I wondered who that woman was. "She's Anna, Lewis's assistant. She is married with one son," Sean said, as if he knew what was on my mind.

 

In response to Sean's words, I nodded. We kept walking until a man came up from a room , approaching us and lowered his head. "He's Alfred, Alden's assistant," Sean said once more. "Ohh," I said softly, "his wife is pregnant with their second child."

 

We entered a room. A large wedding photo of Sean and Katelyn is on display. So this is Sean's room, I reasoned. Sean asked me as he sat me on the sofa opposite his desk. "Would you like to wait here or in there?" He pointed to a side wall lined with bookcases. My shoulders shrugged. " I think I choose to be here cause I just want to learn about your people and your work." Please disregard my presence. "I'm not going to bother you."

 

"Okay, let me know if you need anything," he said as he walked over to his desk.

I was only paying attention to Lewis and Alden's assistants who had been following us earlier because it was my first time meeting them. They stood behind Lewis and Alden handed over several folders they had brought earlier before saying goodbye. They appear to be trustworthy.

 

Sean, Alden, and Lewis continued their activities at a larger table on the right side of the room. They talked about a variety of topics before leaving the room to continue their work. Sean returned to his desk and began reading the documents on it. I admired him even more after seeing his solemn expression because he was becoming more attractive. As I realized the feeling that was quietly creeping into my heart, I blushed. I brushed it off quickly.

Suddenly Rachel's advise back then flashing into my mind " Sean is an attractive man. A lot of women will interested in him and even want to make him be hers. The wife is the husband's helper including to protect him from any women and the danger interrupting the family happiness. 

 I turned my attention to the magazine laid on the sofa table. I grab the magazine. A moment later I saw Sean's handsome face filled my eyes once more. The front cover of the magazine in my hand features Sean's face prominently. I whisper to myself, "I can't run away from him and he'll be mine only"
