Chapter 6

• Chapter 6
• Nyla’s Pov
• I didn't know what to do after seeing Mr. Adair, my husband , with one of my employees. All I could do in that situation is to make him come inside my office.
• What is he doing here? What does he want? I have a lot of questions inside my mind while I go back to my desk.
• “ What are you doing here Mr. Adair?” I asked him, as I sat in my chair again.
• I tried my best to be calm while pretending to read the documents that I was reading before he came inside.
• “ Is this your business?” He did not answer my question. His tone of voice is like he cannot believe that this is my business.
• “ Yes this is my business “ I replied to his question.
• “ So who is the one that manages your parents' company then?” he asked again.
• I could feel my heart being squeezed so hard that I thought, I'll be dead in front of him after hearing his question about my parent's company, which surprised me.
• “ My…little sister is managing the company,” I answered his question” Is it really bad that I have a business of my own? It's not like I have asked you to invest in my business “ I said to him coldly defending my own dignity as a business owner.
• “ I just thought that you are the eldest and the biological daughter, you will be the one to manage it” He commented.
• It's no surprise to me, he knows about my adopted little sister. But I can't just believe how rude he is when talking about it.
• “ Well that's not the case right? Even though I am the eldest and the biological daughter, my sister can still manage my parents' company” I explained to him hiding my anger at his words.
• “Hmmm ... .It's just unfair “ he commented.
• Because my patience is running out , I slammed both my hands on the table in anger “ Can you stop? Because it's none of your business to say something about who should run my parents company “ as I look at him with anger in my eyes.
• “ It's my business because you are my-”
• I laughed sarcastically, interrupting what he was saying “ Don't be so dumb Mr. Adair , we are just husband and wife on paper and with this marriage we both agreed not to mind any business with our personal life right?” I blunty told him about our relationship in this marriage.
• It was a split second that I saw his expression change but it immediately went back to becoming his usual expression.
• “ Right, “ He said.
• I really don't get him sometimes , what he is thinking inside his mind. I want to look and see inside his mind so that I could understand him a bit.
• When he left , I walked out of my office to see what's happening in the cafe. Everything is fine and running perfectly fine. I can feel the relief in my body to see everything was running perfectly even though he came all of a sudden. I went back to my office to continue doing my work.
• It was already late at night when I left the cafe because I had finished some important documents that needed my attention. Everyone already left and I was the one who closed the cafe for the night. When I finish closing the cafe and making sure everything is secure and locked . I walked at the side of the road to wait for a Taxi to stop.
• When suddenly I saw a car parked in front of me and someone walked out of the car. I was a bit surprised and felt scared about who this person might be. I prepare myself if this person will do something bad to me.
• “ Good evening, Mrs. Adair, “ a familiar voice greets , as he stops in front of me.
• I look at Mr. Cruz with confusion on my face. “ Why are you here Mr. Cruz?” I asked, as I could feel the relief in my entire body that I know the person.
• Mr. Cruz smiled and replied “ I am waiting for you Mrs. Adair to get out of work of course “ as if saying it in a sarcastic voice but in a respective way.
• “ You don't have to wait for me though? I can go home by riding a taxi” I said to Mr.Cruz in a matter of fact voice.
• Mr. Cruz continually smiled at me, “ What's the use of riding a taxi when you have me Mrs. Adair, "he said.
• I could feel shivers on my neck not because I'm cold but at what Mr. Cruz said. It's a sign that I stop arguing and just accept the fact that he'll be my driver until I break off my marriage to Van Adair.
• I sigh in resignation “ You are right Mr.Cruz , stupid of me “ I sarcastically agreed with Mr. Cruz.
• Mr. Cruz didn't say anything and just opened the car door and I let myself inside the car. While Mr. Cruz went inside the driver seat and started to drive back home. I only stared outside while trying to entertain myself with the scenery outside of the car.
• When we arrived at home Mrs. Victoria greeted me in front of the door. As if she was waiting there for a very long time “ Good evening Mrs. Adair welcome home”
• I tiredly smiled at her “ Good evening also Mrs. Victoria” I greeted back at her.
• “Did you already eat your dinner Mrs. Adair?”
• I remember the burger that I ate at the cafe as my dinner while I was working through the last documents that I needed to work on.
• “ Yes, I already ate dinner, Mrs. Victoria,” I lied to her. If you consider a burger as dinner though.
• “ Really Mrs. Adair? “ Mrs. Victoria asked in a doubtful voice.
• “ Yes Mrs. Victoria, so no need to prepare something for me” I replied to her with assurance still lying and making sure she will not see that I was lying.
• “ That's unfortunate, Mr. Adair is waiting for you in the dining room,” Mrs. Victoria commented casually.
• Huh?
• “ Why would he be waiting for me there?” I was surprised.
• Mrs. Victoria looked at me as if I'm stupid for asking that kind of question “ I don't know you asked him about that Mrs. Adair “ She said and left without explaining anything else.
• Eh?
• I went to the dining room and Mrs. Victoria was right. He was there but I don't know if what Mrs. Victoria said was right.
• “ Good evening Mr. Adair “ I greeted him with a nervous voice. And why am I feeling nervous? It's not like I did something bad.
• He didn't look at me and just stared at an empty space “ Why are you late?” He asked. I could not tell if he is angry or just plainly asking me.
• “ I have some work to finish and I didn't notice that it was already late,” I explained to him.
• Wait why I am explaining this to him.Why is he asking me about the reason for getting home late?
• “ Did Mr.Cruz bring you home?” He asked again.
• “ Yes “ I replied
• “ Did you eat already?”
• “ Yes I have “ If you consider eating a burger as dinner, I said silently in my mind.
• He didn't ask anything and just stood up and walked past me and left. It left me puzzled why he asked me those questions. I decided to follow him because I also have things to say.
• “ Hey, can you ask Mr. Cruz not to be my driver anymore?” I asked, when I finally caught up with him.
• He stopped walking but didn't turn around “ why?” He asked.
• “ Well I don't need anyone to drive me back and forth to my work because I could just use my bicycle as my transportation and I could avoid traffic” I explained. “ And it's not like I could use him as my driver forever when we will have our divorce anytime soon so it's better I don't get use to it” I explained further.
• “ Ask Victoria not me, she decided about that not me” He replied without any care.
• Wow, are you really the boss or just a decoration??
• “You are the boss, you can just order them right?!” I reasoned out to him.
• Finally he turned around and looked straight in my eyes “ Even if I'm the boss I am not a tyrant boss who will just force them to follow my instructions without considering their feelings “ he coldly said to me.
• It made me realize that I said something wrong between the lines and regretted it.
• “ I didn't mean that way , i-” I didn't finish my words because I can't explain anymore.
• He didn't say anything and just left me there standing alone.
