"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Shannon bent down and picked up the accessories that she had mistakenly spilt on the floor. "I'm sorry, please..." she apologised again, forcing a smile on. She was done purchasing and was about to leave when she stumbled on a gentleman dressed in a navy blue suit, standing immobile at a side.
She stretched her hand. "Nice meeting you. My name is Shannon..."
He gave her a hard-long look and averted his gaze, not ready to respond to anyone but his personal assistant that had gone into the mall to get some things ready.
After standing for seconds and being ignored by him, she decided to take her leave. He didn't spare her a glance, and she didn't bother saying a word to him any longer.
While she was still waiting for a cab to come by, a car drove past her and stopped. She stared to see what was going on, and to her surprise, a young man peeped through the window and went in again. "What's that for? He didn't accept my hand, and now he's peeping on me..." she hissed, pretending to not see anything. "I need to reach the company as quick as possible..." she muttered, waving the cab before her to stop.
"One Click Textiles Enterprise!" She said to the driver before stepping into the car. She imagined how Tony would react once she steps into his office with the surprise....and, what if he ends up kissing her before his employees?
Her face was covered with a silly smile as the car drove towards the side of the road. It parked before the gate, and Shannon stepped out. She dipped her hand into her purse, paid the driver off, and turned to face the gate. It was her first time setting her feet into her husband's company in three years of marriage.
It was Mr. Tony's birthday, and Shannon had saved a lot for this day to surprise her husband for the first time. She had been a housewife who barely stepped her feet out of the building and was tired of it.
Although it was ordered by her husband, Tony, she intends to convince him this time by getting the gift so he would permit her to get a job doing or work in his company.
"I am here to see my husband!" Shannon said to the security personnel standing before her, obstructing her way. She didn't expect anyone to come across her or try to hold her back because she was the wife of the CEO. "You heard me well..."
The young man shook his head. "I'm sorry, but you can't just see the CEO that way. I can redirect you to the manager, and through him, you will be able to see the CEO if it's something that he can't handle." he elaborated.
Shannon gulped. Her lips pouted.
"Between, you're not dressed like one of a higher status. You can't even see the manager dressed that way....yet you claim that the CEO is your husband," he added, taking a good look at her shabby dress.
She glanced at the package she was holding and then at the young man. "Take me to him first. You can throw me out if he denies that I'm not his wife. As for my dressing, that's how I prefer to dress-everyone mustn't know that I'm the CEO's wife."
"CEO's wife? Who gave you the title?"
Shannon turned behind to see a lady dressed in a brown suit with her hair weaving around. "I am the CEO's wife. Is that an issue?"
The lady smirked, coming closer. She pointed her fingers at Shannon's cheek and shook her head. "You are disrespecting Mr Tony. How can you refer to yourself as his wife when his wife is the secretary and everyone knows that? Do you fucking want to rust in jail....?"
Shannon couldn't believe his ears. Was that a prank? A test? Or what? How was her husband's secretary known as the wife instead of her?
She nibbled her bottom lip, raising her shoulders high. "I am the wife of CEO Tony, so bite your lips." she quaked the lady and hastened her steps towards the building, less concerned with what the lady and the security personnel were busy discussing about her.
As she stepped into the building, a lady approached her with a slight smile. "Hi!" she waved her hand at the lady, drawing the attention of the other ladies. "I am here to see Mr Tony. Could you direct me to his office?"
They glanced at each other, and then the lady before her bowed slightly. I'm sorry, Ma'am, but I can't take you to him with the way you look tattered. I can make a way for you to see the Manager instead."
Shannon scoffed. What sort of drama was that? Were they expecting her to wear some sort of clothes designed with golden pearls when Tony doesn't care about her at all? The only use she is to him is to get fucked on his bed and sees to it that he cums at least twice before leaving for her room.
She had lived with Tony for three years and is more valuable than a carpet. He doesn't look after her and keeps reminding her that their marriage was never his will and so he will have nothing to do with her.
One thing she didn't think about was that Tony would keep her hidden as his wife and present another woman, yet she always prayed and hoped that he would come to love her someday.
If someone else was taking her position as the wife, then it meant one thing-Tony had been cheating on her for a long time now....maybe, even before they got married.
