Will work hard

Sab pushed away Tom in panic as soon as they entered the office but because he was holding her waist tightly, it was useless. She look-up to meet a gloomy face of the man. His red lips were tightly sealed and his light browned eyes were looking at her directly as if he's trying to see through her.

Nonetheless, he looks so handsome. His jaw line from the side was defined and looks very manly. The arm holding her was firm and his body was like a strong and warm wall that she wanted to lean on for life. Her little mouth was left slightly open at the sight as she felt her heart thump...

She salivates unknowingly as she feasts at Tom's beautiful face. He even doesn't have pores, was this really a man's skin? His lips were red and his manly scent was mixed with a unique fragrance which was very inviting. She wanted to stay closer.

Remembering the incident this morning, his caring kiss, his warm body and strong arms around her petite body makes her legs weak. "Stop..." she screamed at the thought. What was that? I am being bewitched by this man. Either it was intentional or not, she needs to clear her minds and be focus moving forward. Their marriage is like a work contract. It's bound within the contract, once ended. It's ended. No strings attached.

An unknown form of pain felt. She looks away and asked. "Can you release me now?"

Tom did release her and went straight to his desk. He starts checking on the pile of documents in the table.

Sab wanted to ask question when someone knocked on the door and entered. Alvin went in and gave the pile of folders in his hands before he starts reporting.

Sab blinked few minutes after hearing the short discussions of the two. Though she can't really understand everything, but it sounds so many and complicated that normal human being cannot handle within 24 hours.

Will this man be able to pull off the work? There's only 24 hours a day and normal people work, 8-14 hours per day. When can he take a break? When can he rest if he needs to finish everything?

She suddenly felt bad for the man. That might be the reason why he looks lonely at home. He doesn't know how to play. But then she remembered their intimate kissed last night. She shook her head few times as she closed her eyes. She doesn't want to remember it anymore but this brain of hers kept teasing her.

"Okay, fine. He knows how to play." She looked at the pile of documents again and then looked at the man who seems to forget her presence. Tom looks like a man from fairy tale, undeniably handsome, oozing presence, great toned body. Who would have thought that I could have this luck to marry a guy like him even if it's just a contractual marriage?

I might have saved a deity in her previous lifetime that heavens allowed me in this position. Or heavens might have pitied her so much. Nonetheless, she can't expect life to be easy. With his profile, many women might have been fighting for the title "Mrs. Del Monte" and they will not rest if they knew that he married someone like her.

She has not thought about it before but seeing the man now she can't help but to contemplate on their situation and on how to pull off their agreement. Haist.. she's not physically strong, she's bad in any form of arguments, she's not talented, she's not smart and she's not a goddess of beauty.

Aside from that, she has no dating experience that could help her deal with the other girls. But of course, she heard stories from people she worked with. She stood up and walk quietly at the small kitchen and look for food. There's only tea, coffee, creamer and choco available in different brands. The package was nice and seems expensive, but she can't have just these since it's almost lunch time and she's a little hungry.

"Tom would you want coffee?" she asked loudly trying to figure out which one to try first. All of them look tastes good.

The man paused as he heard the little wife question. His lips slightly curved upward, having a little wife is not too bad after all.

Alvin who just entered the office heard it and look at his boss reaction silently. Tom is still focus on the documents and did not raise his head and did not even reply. He only asked Alvin to continue his report.

Sab might not be that important with Tom. Seeing him ignoring her, he felt bad for the little girl. She might not be the most gorgeous, but she has a pair of clear eyes that you can see through everything. It would be hard to break her heart if ever.

Sab approached Tom after Alvin left the room and waive her hand to get his attention. "Tom, do you want coffee or tea?"

He gave a short. His eyes still fixed on the documents. "Coffee"

"Okay! I want to buy food; do you want to anything?"

He stops working without raising his head. "No need, I'll order for us. What do you want?"

Sab was hesitant to answer. The office was so nice if she eats there, it might be inconvenience for him to smell the food lingering around.

"Is that okay with you? The food might leave some smell if we'll eat here. I'll just bring you lunch."

Of course, it's not okay with him. He hates it if his office will smell like a canteen, but he doesn't feel it this way now.

"It's fine it's just food. I'll just have someone to spray later if it leaves smells."

She was a little happy at his answer. There's no problem on her going out but she doesn't want to be interrogated yet by the girls outside. She remembers all the eyes looking at them a while ago as soon as they entered the building. This man was too striking. They already attracted a lot of attention especially from women who secretly admiring the man. They looked all fierce.

"I'm a little hungry, I want to eat sushi, noodles and dumplings."

Tom raised his head but did not say anything. He just looked blankly at Sab as he made a call to order.

Sab happily went to the kitchen and prepared his coffee.

Seeing the little wife loosen-up make him feel quite satisfied. He thinks that she's a glutton but will always eat a little around him and will refused to eat more, saying she's full. Then, he'll see her sneak out to eat more.

Sab rested on the huge leather sofa after placing the coffee on Tom's table. She did not bother to ask if he likes it or not. All coffee is the same for her. It should be no big deal. Also, she used the one on the kitchen, it should be fine. She thinks expensive goods should have better taste.

She peaked a little as Tom sip on the coffee. Seeing him calm and not reacting bad is good enough for her. Sab didn't want to disturb Tom, so she just sat quietly and obediently like a good wife. She played on her phone until she dozed off.

Tom heard something dropped. He stood-up and checked on it. He saw Sab sleeping and her phone dropped on the floor. Her skirt was slightly pulled up showing her pearly thighs and legs. He immediately took off his blazer and cover the little wife.

He pinches the middle of his brows. It's already a miracle for his little wife still living in one piece up to now. She's just unaware of danger in the world.

After almost an hour, Alvin came in with the food he ordered. He stops him at the door, took the food on his hands and not let him to step closer. Alvin was a little puzzled but did not say anything.

He checked on the room and can't see the little girl. He noticed Tom was not wearing coat as normal.

"No one is allowed to enter for now." Tom instructed as he pushed Alvin out of the office. He placed the food on the table and went back working.

Sab woken-up, feeling uncomfortable and starving. She catches the coat covering her lower part and notice an untouched food placed neatly on the table. She looked at the man direction, he's still focus working.

She prepared the food before inviting Tom to eat. The pile of documents on his table seems getting taller, not being done at all.

She started eating alone but felt guilty inside. Even though he said he was not hungry, he still needs to eat. It's passed lunch time and the documents on the table is no near being done.

Her heart started beating differently as she looked at him. He is just gorgeous. His eyes, lips and broad shoulders looks like a canvas. She shakes her head few times to clear her mind. His only my contractual husband, I should get hold on my mind.

Nonetheless, she must work hard as well. Her life become much better. She could sleep peacefully at night and felt secured under his protection. She pick-up the plate of sushi and stand beside Tom.

Tom looked at the little wife and before he could ask, she just placed a sushi near his lips.

"Hmm… It's sad eating alone, I'll just feed you for now since you're too busy to join me," She shyly suggested and didn't dare to look into his eyes.

Tom is trying to catch-up at the time loss this morning and been battling with all the documents in the table so they could go home early. She can't let the wife rest at home alone when the doctor told him to look closely on her to make sure there would be no any problems later.

He ate the sushi given quietly then pick-up the documents on the table. His eyes lit up but since he was looking down, Sab did not notice this. She quietly feed the man time to time so she won't totally interrupt him from working. The two looks like a perfect couple harmoniously supporting each other.
