Master's Untamed Wife

Meanwhile, on Raelle's side...

It was half-past six o'clock and Raelle Xiang was still in her office. Cloe knew she was expecting too much when she thought that perhaps, her boss would now go back home on time. After all, she was married now, shouldn't she be eager to get back home to her husband? Who knew this leopard wasn't willing to change her spots?

But then again, she couldn't even imagine her boss leaving everything just to go home to accompany her husband as well. Wouldn't that be a real shocker of her life?

Cloe patted her chest as she thought to herself, 'The key to a successful relationship is to expect less. Even in a boss and an employee relationship, one should expect less. That's the only way we can stop disappointing each other.' She tried to console herself in this way but it didn't work this time. It usually worked though. Why wasn't it working today?

She wanted to wail now. She had so much planned for tonight. She was planning on developing the photo she took with Hyson and get it framed to hang in her apartment. All the albums she ordered were also delivered, she also planned on decorating her room with all those posters. But now...

All her plans were gonna drown in the sea made of her tears. Bitter tears!

Sniffling, she placed the file on Raelle's desk.

"Did you catch a cold?" asked Raelle.

"No," grumbled Cloe.

"Then stop sniffling," said Raelle.

Cloe opened her mouth to say something but chose not to say anything in the end. Although she admired Hyson, she really couldn't follow in his footsteps. He was daring before Raelle, she couldn't do the same. If she tried to follow in his footsteps, her steps might falter and she'd end up in her own grave; face flat!

As she left Raelle's office, a ringtone rang out in the silent office where only the sound of typing could be heard earlier. Raelle looked at the phone screen and picked up the call before putting it on speaker.

"Elle, are you home?" came Mu Chenyan's sweet and gentle voice.

Raelle replied honestly, "No. I've to finalize somethings so I'm still in the office. Why?"

"Didn't I tell you to stop working overtime?" Mu Chenyan's voice wasn't as sweet or gentle this time around.

"Yeah. And I did as you said. But now, you're not waiting for me at home," said Raelle plainly. "So, why should I go home early?"

Mu Chenyan rubbed her forehead and groaned, "Elle... My dear Elle... This..." She really didn't know what to say to her now. "Even if I'm not waiting for you at home, what about your husband?"

Raelle's fingers stopped typing as she asked, "Are you saying that my husband is waiting for me at home?"

"No, I'm saying that to build a relationship, both husband and wife need to make time for each other. Especially in your case, the more you'll spend time with Xian, the more you'll be able to understand him. If you'll give him the importance, he'll also do it for you." Raelle was silent as she contemplated her words. "You both need to enjoy each other's company. For that, you need to build a friendship. You have been the most honest person in your life. Don't forget to be sincere about your marriage."

"I understand," said Raelle without any arguments. "But... What do I need to do now?"

Mu Chenyan chuckled at her question, "Go home and have dinner with your husband. That's the least you can do in your busy day for him."

Raelle nodded her head and stood up as she picked up the phone, she said, "Alright. I'm leaving now." She closed the lid of her laptop, cleared up her desk, and took some documents with her before walking out of the office.

Walking past Cloe's cabin, she asked, "Cloe, want to have fun?"

Cloe shuddered just hearing that question. What was the idea of fun for Raelle Xiang? She knew it very well! In fact, she knew it so well that she never wanted to have any kind of fun with her boss. Someone always got sacked whenever she wished to have fun. And not in a good way.

Just thinking about Raelle's past history with the word, 'Fun', she instinctively shook her head.

Raelle shrugged her shoulders and said, "Then you can work overtime. I'm going home. Enjoy yourself."

Cloe fell off her chair before she stumbled up as she cried out, "No! Chief, I want to have fun! I do. I want to have all the fun."

Raelle stepped closer to her and gave her a look, "You should know I don't offer the same thing twice." Cloe's face fell as she went on, "So, have fun working now." She even had the time to wave goodbye to Cloe as she got into the elevator making the poor girl want to puke blood right now.

Cloe placed her hand on the wall and hit her head against it as she rebuked herself, "Idiot, Cloe! What did you do? You ruined your own chance to go home early! Argh!"

However, as soon as she came back to her desk, she found a sticky note that said, 'After emailing me the meeting minutes, go home!'

Cloe continued to stare at those words for a long time in silence before a smile graced her lips. She didn't even know when Raelle had placed it here. It must have been when she fell down her chair. She shook her head to herself. This boss of hers was truly out of her understanding.

On the other hand, Raelle got inside the car and her personal chauffeur started up the car. She picked up her phone to see what time it was. It was already 7 o'clock now. She wondered if Xian had come home by now? Since she didn't know about his schedule, it was hard to say if he was back or not.

Either way, she needed to have dinner with her spouse tonight just as her Yanyan had said.
