Shui Xian's excitement didn't die down even when he reached the entrance of the building. As he had been leaving office exactly at 5:30, it was time for all the employees to leave as well. So, most of them saw their CEO who usually never appeared in the lobby, actually rushing out.
It shocked everyone present around and even more curious about the reason behind this.
Shui Xian's eyes wandered around as he tried to look for Raelle's figure. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed on a figure. Dressed in white sailor pants, a red silk sleeve puff blouse, and a floppy hat. At first, Shui Xian overlooked this person since Raelle definitely didn't wear this outfit when she left for work in the morning.
However, Shui Xian's keen eyes and his strong desire to see his wife made him lock his eyes on this figure. No matter how he looked at it, he was certain that was his Raelle.
He strode over to her side. Raelle was leaning against the side of her car as she scrolled on her phone with her head down. The brim of her floppy hat was lowered and since the sun was setting, it made it difficult for people to make out her face.
Shui Xian came to stand right in front of her. He leaned down to look at that face hidden under the shade of the hat and seeing that all too familiar, gorgeous face, his lips tilted up in a knowing smile. He got it right. Who else would have such a perfect bodyline if not his own wife? It had to be her!
"Hi!" he said to her.
Raelle turned off her phone and straightened up as she looked at him, "Hello, Hubby!"
"You're here to pick me up?" asked Shui Xian.
Raelle showed him the car keys, "What else does it look like?"
Shui Xian grinned like a baby and hugged her waist and swept her off the ground. Raelle was taken aback by this sudden action of his. She really was as her eyes widened a little. She placed her hands on his shoulders and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm excited and happy," said Shui Xian.
"Is this a new way to show your happiness?" questioned Raelle.
"You can say that," he told her as he placed her down and pulled up the brim of her hat to place a kiss right between her brows before fixing her hat again. He looked her up and down and asked, "Did you just come here like this because of what I said?"
Raelle looked into his eyes and recalled what he told her the other night.
Just casually, he ended up sharing with her how there was a bet going on in his company right now regarding whom he was dating. As for how it started, he gave her all the details without leaving anything. He even told her how people didn't think he couldn't be dating a successful businesswoman. He found it amusing.
And while talking, he mentioned, "Just imagine if you showed up at my company building? It'll be a sight to behold! Haha!"
Who knew something he mentioned casually, she'd take so seriously? But then again, that's how Raelle was. If he mentioned it, that meant he really wanted her to come. And since he wanted that, how could she not? It's not like she was planning on hiding their relationship for good. They were married, there was nothing shameful that they had to hide about.
"And why are you dressed up like this? You weren't wearing this in the morning," said Shui Xian.
"I was at the construction site," she told him. "Got something on my suit. So, I changed my clothes. Since the construction site is closer to your office, I asked my chauffeur to give me the keys and leave. And here I am now."
"What's with the hat?" he asked.
"Originally, I wore it because some dust fell on my head. So, to hide it, I wore this. But now..." She looked behind him to see how the employees in his company were craning their necks and peaking at them like thieves. Their eyes were brimming with gossip. One could see how passionate they were about it. "Now, I think it gives me a mysterious charm. Don't you agree?"
"Agree!" Shui Xian didn't even think before nodding his head in agreement. Why wouldn't he agree? That hat definitely made her appear mysterious.
"And I think the mystery that comes with this hat gives your employees a lot more to talk about," said Raelle.
Shui Xian turned his head and found his employees crowding around the entrance. When he looked back, they all pretended to leave but not even one of them took a step away from where they were. He found it quite funny actually.
"Why are they burning for gossip always?" sighed Shui Xian.
"Employees find work to be boring," told Raelle. "So, they look for excitement. Excitement comes from gossip. It brings them some kind of happiness. And that actually ends up motivating them to work harder." She patted his chest saying, "So, you should let them gossip. They will work hard for you and earn more money for you."
"Hmm..." Shui Xian hummed before he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer making her bump into his chest. "Then how about we give them something exciting to gossip about?"
Just now when he pulled her closer, he could actually hear some shrieking from behind him. He never thought he'd put on a show like this at the door of his company building. But it was truly an experience he wouldn't wanna miss out on.
Shui Xian's face came closer to hers and as his lips were about to touch hers, she put her finger on his lips and pushed him away, "Stop fooling around. Let's go home already."
Shui Xian was so disappointed by this turn of events. What a bummer! He was about to taste those sweet lips!
