Loving Madeline

Madeline's POV

We stayed in our house the following day, and we mostly stayed in our room cuddling and kissing each other. And on Wednesday, I got so excited to go into the office with Hunter and, of course, with his mother. And I am just glad my morning sickness is not severe, I usually vomit during the morning, and I am fine the entire day except for my food cravings.

The moment we got inside the executive floor, my husband was surprised when his staff greeted him with poppers and streamer with a message, "Welcome Back, Mr. Divenson, We Missed You," and I know it made him a little bit emotional, I know my husband only showed his vulnerable side with me, to Calixto, and his mom, but never in his subordinates, because he always looks stern, strict, cold, and distant, that is why they didn't know Hunter is sweet and kind-hearted. And I understand why he was like that, because his father trained him to be like that, and now, I can tell his staff was shocked that he was in tears.

One by one, his staff welcomed him, and they also greeted me with warm smiles on their faces. And I can tell they are all excited to see my husband again after a long time of not seeing him. Mom was smiling, and I could tell she looked so happy to have her son back. Hunter faced his employees with a broad grin on his face while he held my hand.

"Thank you so much for all this, and you made me feel so happy, and I want you all to know, I am so delighted that you continued to do your best to work here even if I was on an extended vacation, and you helped my mom with the best of your abilities, and for that, I am so thankful. And now I can say it is nice to be back. And I am excited to be working with you again." My husband said as he gave them his sweet signature smile, and I could tell the girls giggled as they stared at my husband, and they got so thrilled, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"And of course, I want to ask you all to welcome my beloved wife, and I know we are one family here, and I used to be so private with my personal life, but after I was trapped underground together with Calixto Morgan, I realized life is too short, and it made me realized you were all part of my life," Hunter said as he looked at his executive assistants one by one.

"And now I would like to share the good news with you, and I have been dying to do this. Please allow me to shout that I am going to be a dad, and I can't wait to be a father!" My husband shouted his last words that made his staff cheered, and I heard a series of congratulations, and it made me feel so happy that Hunter was so proud that he was going to be a dad.

Who could have thought the man I fell in love with on the first night I met him, who seemed arrogant and forbidding, would be shouting in front of his employees as he announced that he was going to be a Dad. I want to take a video of my husband and document this moment so I can show everyone how

much my husband loves our baby.

Hunter never let go of my hand as we walked to his office, and I couldn't stop myself from grinning.

"Hey, are you ready to be my assistant, Madeline?" My husband asked me as he put his arms around my waist? And I can't stop myself from smiling.

"Yes, Sir!" I answered in a seductive tone, and he kissed me on the lips. And I couldn't believe that I would be making out with my husband early morning inside his office, and we both forgotten that Leticia Divenson was with us, and we only stopped kissing when we heard his mother's voice behind us.

"It was so nice to see you both so sweet with each other early morning, but I hate to stop you right now, love birds because you have so many documents waiting for you, son. And we have a meeting with the Board of Directors in two hours, so you need to get started, and I need to give you the updates regarding the mining operations from the south and north and the financial reports of the previous month." My mother-in-law said, and she looked so elegant with her corporate attire, and I want to be like her in the future.

I felt so glad that mom asked me to sit down with them while I take down notes since it feels so lovely to listen to them discussed things even if I only have a slight idea about the company, yet I am excited to learn more. I could tell my husband is good with what he does, and I am impressed with his intelligence, and I am mesmerized the way he talked with confidence, and I know his communication skill is excellent. And this is the first time I saw and heard my husband talked this way, and I know I was watching Hunter without fluttering my eyes, and I know my mouth hung open as I listened to him speak. 

I answered Hunter's telephone calls most of the time as they continued talking, and it felt so exhilarating to become my husband's assistant while Calixto was still having a vacation. Still, I can't deny I felt so worried about him. And I was hoping for his fast recovery. I know Cal had anxiety attacks after the rescuers rescued them, and dealing with that kind of condition is complex. And I can't blame him that he felt so afraid to get out of his house, and I know Cal needed our help and support.

One of Hunter's secretaries, Terry, got inside Hunter's office, and she handed me Calixto's planner. She was the one who took over Cal's position, and she was mom's assistant during the entire period mom worked as Hunter's replacement after the explosions at the mining site. 

I scanned my husband's schedule, and I realized he would be busy for the rest of the week, including next week. And I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I realized I was really doing this, and I am now my husband's personal assistant, and I can't stop myself from feeling so thrilled.

"Hey, are you okay?" Hunter asked me after one hour, and mom asked him to take a break for a while.

"Are you sure about this, Madeline? Do you want to be my assistant for the time being?" He asked me, and I nodded my head as I smiled at my husband.

"Of course, I can do this, and I can't wait to remind you of your schedule for the day," I replied as I looked at his handsome face.

"Good, don't worry, even if we are busy, I will find time so we can have a date," Hunter said, and I couldn't stop myself from having butterflies in my stomach.

"Can you cancel my last appointment this coming Friday? Not only that, but I also want you to cancel all my appointments on Monday and Tuesday. We will be going to our vacation home this coming Friday night, and I don't want to come home into our mansion immediately because I still want to spend more time with you." Hunter declared, and I smiled at him, and I could feel my knees felt like jelly.

"Of course, Mr. Divenson," I said, and he caressed my face before I got out of his office because I know they are not yet done talking about today's agenda of the BOD's meeting, and I don't want to disturb Hunter and mom. So, I settled myself on Calixto's table, and I felt so glad Hunter's secretaries helped me with all that I needed.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling when I looked at the photographs on Cal's table. There is a frame with a photo taken during his wedding day, and I smiled when I realized Cal looked so attractive during his younger days, and I could tell he was so in love with his wife by the way he looked at her in the picture. Then, I saw a family picture, and what made me smile more was Calixto's picture with my husband. I can tell the photo was taken a long time ago because Hunter looked so young in the picture, and I can feel my heart skipped a beat when I looked at my husband's face, he looked so boyish, yet I could tell he was hiding his ripped body beneath his business suit.

I felt glad that I was able to call and cancel Hunter's last appointment on Friday afternoon, and I am done canceling his meetings on Monday as well, and I felt triumphant with my minor achievement. I was about to dial again to start canceling his appointments on Tuesday when I heard my husband's voice in my ear that made me have goosebumps all over my body.

"You are so busy, Mrs. Divenson, but I want you to come with mom and me. I was hoping you could attend the BOD meeting, Madeline. It is about time that they should know you." He whispered, and I felt so shocked and excited at the same time.

"But, I don't know what to say to them. I need to learn about the business before I can interact with the Board of Directors," I said.

"I am taking you there as my wife, Madeline, and not as my assistant. Don't worry, and you will be fine. I am here, Maddie." He said, and he put his hands on my waist, and he helped me get up on my feet, and I felt so beautiful as he looked at me on my face full of admiration and love. And I can't wait to know more about the Divenson Mining Company because I want Hunter to be proud of me someday.

The three of us walked to the boardroom, and Hunter was holding my hand the entire time until we got inside; he greeted the Board of Director's who came early, and he introduced me to them. And I recognized some of them during our pre-wedding ball. But suddenly, my world stood still when Clark Divenson got inside the office while Charlotte was following behind him, and I could feel the trembling of my body, and I felt so worried for my safety. Still, I felt my husband squeezed my hand, and I knew he was trying to calm my nerves; and I when I looked at his face, I could tell that Hunter was telling me not to worry because everything would be alright. After all, he was here to protect me.
