Master's Untamed Wife

Hyson already knew he could make his mother back off but not his best friend. If Raelle got stuck on something, she wouldn't stop probing until she learned about the whole situation. It wasn't that he couldn't share it with her, he just didn't see the point.

"They say, paper can't wrap fire,[1]" Hyson began putting on an extremely wise appearance. "One of my group members has been caught with his girlfriend on a date by the media. The netizens are not very happy about his dating scandal."

"So?" she questioned. "How does this concern you?"

"No eggs stay intact under an overturned nest,[2]" said Hyson as he gave her a look. "We are part of a boy group. One person's scandal affects all of us. That's how this industry works." He rubbed his forehead and went on, "The company's management is still observing the online reaction of people, after that they'll come to whatever conclusion."

"And if the issue blew up?" she questioned.

"Either that member will have to leave the group or we'll have to disband entirely." He put his head on the desk before him as he said, "Pretty messed up, right?"

"Even if that happens, why are you worried?" asked Raelle. "Becoming an idol was never your dream anyway. You only became one because your mother happened to tell you while watching a music award show that she'd be proud to see her son on a big stage like that."

"That is still my reason to worry," he answered. "I don't mind starting all over again. I even think I can get a job at your company. It's a dream place to work for young people right now." He groaned, "But what about mum? I really want her to see me shine."

"Although I don't do this every day, I can still offer you a job here. Want it?"

"Get lost!" was his response.

Raelle already knew she'd be receiving that answer. This best friend of hers had never tried to take advantage of the fact that she was one of the richest women in the world.

"Do you want me to help?" she asked seriously. This time even Hyson knew that she was very serious. That's why he took a moment to think.

Hyson put his chin on the desk as he looked at her, "Have I ever asked you for help?" Before she could say anything, he went on, "I still haven't fallen that far. I believe everything will be fine. My mum is always praying for me, nothing can go wrong."

"Blindly believing in prayers..." she said in a soft voice and he squinted his eyes at her. Seeing that, she didn't continue her words, he was satisfied. She knew Hyson had blind faith in his mother just like people did for God. And one should never challenge other's faith.

He leaned back in her swivel chair and continued to spin round and round.

"How was your honeymoon?" he asked as his spinning suddenly came to a halt. "Was it fun?"

"It was good," was what she said making him raise his brows in interest.

"Good?" he repeated with a wicked grin. "Define good."

"Take what I'm giving nicely," she said. "Let's not forget that people get into accidents while trying to overtake."

Hyson cursed under his breath before he laughed out, "You don't have to give me the details though. That tan high neck sweater is already saying something."

Raelle sat down before him as her fingers intertwined lazily, she asked, "I'm suddenly curious to know what it is saying."

"Exactly what you're trying to hide," his grin had widened now. "You definitely had your fun. And that is so like you."

Raelle eyed him for a while, "What I did is called research. But how do you know what I did?"

Hyson stood up and came around the desk. He bent over and tucked her hair behind her ear but his fingers lingered under her earlobe for longer than necessary. His voice lowered as he said, "You aren't even trying to hide the results of your research."

Thinking of something, Raelle pushed him away and went over to look in the mirror. She tilted her head and looked at the ear where he touched and ended up smiling. Just behind her earlobe was a red mark. It wasn't bright. But it wasn't light either.

She came back to his side and asked, "Maybe it's just a rash."

Hyson snorted, "Is it?"

"No, it isn't," she honestly replied without hiding anything from him. She never hid anything. Not just from him, she was just straightforward and she didn't think she did anything that she needed to hide. If she ever felt like she needed to lie about something, she'd definitely not do that thing. She stared into his eyes and asked, "Come clean. How did you figure it out?"

"Figure it out?" repeated Hyson. "I have known you for far too long now. You're not the shy type. I even sent that gift to you because I knew you'd pull up a stunt."

"How is sleeping with my husband is me pulling up a stunt?" she retorted plainly. "Isn't that something very normal in a marriage? You said it yourself!"

Hyson shook his head and decided not to argue with her, "Where did you guys go?"

"Skiing," she replied.

"Oh, that sounds so much fun," he said with a sigh. "I want to go too."

"On a honeymoon?" she retorted.

Hyson glared at her, "No! I want to go skiing!" He huffed. "Why would I want to go on a honeymoon when I don't even want to get married?"

"Who said you need to be married to go on a honeymoon?" questioned Raelle leaving Hyson gaping at her disbelief.

Hyson held her shoulders and shook her, "Tell me, what did that husband of yours do to you?"

"Scram!" was Raelle's response making him laugh out loud.
