Falling For The Man I Married

Madi's POV:
2:00 am.
I tried to sleep, but this freaking sleep doesn't want to visit me. I did almost everything but every time I closed my eyes, all I saw
see was his face, smiling at me.
And the question that kept ringing in my head, was the real reason why I accepted his deal. Am I attracted to him? No! It's only
been two months, it's impossible! How would explain this to my mom? Would I tell her the truth? Or maybe act like I'm in love
with Gabriel?
I don't know what time I dozed off. It's actually the first time this has happened to me... thinking about a person until I fall asleep.
6:00 am.
6:30 am.
7:00 am
. . . . . . .
8:30 am
Kringgggggg...
Kringgggggg...
"Argh! I hate you! Can you stop on ringing?" I shouted frustratedly. Actually, I don't know if it's my alarm clock or my cellphone.
Kringgggggg...
"Argh!" With my eyes still closed, I took the alarm clock from the bedside table. "Tell me who set you up so early on a Sunday
morning?" And then I turned it off.
I was about to go back to sleep when my phone rings under the blanket.

"Oh, God! Can anyone tell this damn caller I want to sleep more?"
I searched for my phone and answered it without looking for the person who was calling.
"Hello?" My eyes were still closed.
"Hello, your ass, Madi! Where the hell are you? Mr Wilsons transformed into being hulk again today. Forgodsake!"
My eyes snapped open as I looked at the phone screen.
"Sandy?"
Why is she calling me this Sunday morning?
"Oh, yes.. princess Madi. I'm asking you, where the hell are you?"
"At home. In my room. And you disturbed my sleep, my God, Sandy! Can you just call me tomorrow? Since tomorrow is Monday
and I'll see you by then." I closed my eyes again.
"What the hell is going on with you? You're crazy, today is already Monday and Mr Wilsons was really mad because his coffee
isn't on his table yet, and it's already 8:45 am!"
"What are you talking about --- holy shit! Oh my God! Oh my God!" My eyes went wide as I started to run to the bathroom with
my phone. "Why didn't you tell me today is Monday? Why didn't you call me?"
Wow! So, it's my fault? It's the first time you're going to be late, what happened to you? Are you sick? Because if you are, I'm
gonna tell Mr.---"
"No! I'm fine! I mean, I'm not sick. I'm going to work today and about his coffee, can you just make him coffee today, please?"
"Oh Madi, I'm sorry, I did it already, but he kept asking for you."
"Oh my! Uhm... Sandy, I'm going to take a bath now, bye." I ended the call without waiting for her response.
Oh my gosh! What happened to me? I thought it was just Sunday today. And while taking a bath, I tried to remember what
happened last night. Well, last Saturday night we talked again, and if I remember correctly, I've already agreed to his deal. And
then after that, he took me home.

And yesterday ... oh shit! I just stayed at home and didn't visit any of my restaurants which is my Sunday routine... that's why my
mind was stacked by what happened Saturday night.
After putting on my uniform, I only applied mascara and my 'love that red' lipstick, so even if I have no makeup, my lipstick will
stand out and carry my day.

While I was in the lift, as for my sweetest and luckiest day... there was also the president of the bullies... Jenny, and her assistant
Ailene.
"Wow. What happened to you, Ms Davis? Are you
late?" Jenny asked first and laughed along with her minion---Ailene.
"Oh no, Jenny, she's not late! She's just too early for tomorrow." Ailene laughed in a bitchy laugh too.
And as always, I didn't care. I kept staring at the elevator door. I see them through the mirror type stainless steel door. They were
repeatedly sharing high fives while laughing their lungs out as if there was no tomorrow.
-'It's okay. You can laugh all your way out, I don't care! I don't work for you and you're not the one paying my salary! Hmph!'-
I just rolled my eyes at that thought. Well that's true, right? Why would I get affected by these two bullies, they were nothing at all
compared to my beauty!
Just kidding.
ding...
"Oh thank God!" Ailene exclaimed when the lift stopped on our floor.
"Yes. At least we can no longer see the woman as pathetic as she is trying to seduce her boss!"
Jenny snorted and pushed me a bit to the side as they stepped out.
My mouth has formed an 'O' shape not because of the push but because of what she said.
-'Me? Seducing my boss? Haha... if you only knew the truth, that 'your' boss was the one trapping me to be his wife!-'

There are no other people inside... except the three of us, so there are no witnesses to what they did. Well, except the
cameraman. I just smiled at the camera. I know, whoever was there.. they knew what happened. And the same things like this
that had happened even before.
Due to lack of sleep, my eyes burn a little from the brightness of the lights. Thank you to the technical department for putting this
type of lights... blinding-lights to be exactly called.
"Oh, there you are!" I was just about to sit in the chair when Sandy came to my door. My back was facing her. "What happened
to you---" she stopped in the middle of her question after seeing my face.
I scrunched my eyebrows. "Why? Am I having huge eye bags?" I asked placing my fingers under my eyes.
"No! You're wearing red lipstick today! Why?" she asked me and I chuckled at her question like it was a shame to wear this red
lipstick.
"Yes. Why, did I put too much?"
"Nope, it's actually beautiful. It's just that, I haven't noticed you wearing that shade before."
She walked over to my desk.
"But I did." I took my compact mirror and checked it again. And then a smile curled against my lips when I realized she's right.
"Oh, I remember I only use this every weekend, but not here in the office."
"So, what made you decide to wear that?"
"Because I'm late and I don't have enough time to put some colours on my face. By the way, how is Mr Wilsons?"
I tried to hide my face by putting the mirror back on the bag. I don't know but mentioning his name made me blush in an instant.
"He's still waiting for you," she said in a very casual tone.
"What?" my eyes snapped at her in confusion.
"Yes. I don't know what happened to that grumpy old man. As I remembered last week, he doesn't want to see your face, but
now, he doesn't want me to make his coffee because he said he's going to wait for you." she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"My God!" I murmured slowly.
I didn't miss the curiosity that danced in her eyes when I looked at her
"What?"
"Tell me, Madielyn Davis, is there's something I don't know and that I need to know?" she eyed me like a hawk as if I were her
prey.
I sighed and closed my eyes. I feel the need to share this 'news' with her because she too knew it anyway from the very
beginning. And I'm sure, it will be so difficult to move inside this building if the boss and owner himself is your 'boyfriend'. And I
blushed again at the thought.
"Oh, jeez! You're blushing!" she exclaimed loudly.
"Keep your voice down! I'm going to tell you later at lunch." I almost whispered to her.
"Oh my God, Madi! Don't tell me I'm right with what I'm thinking right now?"
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. Just wait for the lunch break!"
"Ahhggg!" she covered her mouth and then screamed before exiting my office door ... squealing.
"Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. How can I tell this to her later without squealing like that?"
I just let out a heavy sigh.
