在野外被三个男人躁一夜

Chapter 569



She had seen the caller on the screen, and she could not help her lips from curving into a smile. She had tried not to think of him while working, but he still kept creeping in from time to time.

“Hi, why are you calling?” She asked, surprised to hear his voice.

She hugged her phone on her ears as she leaned down on her chair and turned around to face the windows. Her eyes might be looking at the view outside. Still, her mind was busy thinking about the man waiting for her at home.

“I missed you. What time are you coming home?” He demanded on the phone. “I am lonely without you.” He continued to grumble.

He had been busy the whole day, but his mind kept thinking of his wife, who was away from his side. Now, he wondered what she was doing and when she would be back.

“Alex, I miss you, too.” She said sweetly over the phone, suddenly wishing to be by his side. However, “Is everything ok?” she quickly became concerned that he might be having a problem.

.....

She could not help but worry about him, especially when he still might be hurting. Sometimes, she wondered if he was just saying that he was fine, but she still noticed that he still was slightly in pain.

She did catch him taking a pain medicine the other day. He quickly dismissed it, saying he just had some minor pains but nothing serious.

“I am fine. I just want you to come home early because I miss you.” Alex repeated, assuring her that nothing was wrong with him.

He just did not feel at ease when he did not see her around. His therapist told him that it was perfectly normal after what happened. But eventually, it would go away.

He did double the security, guarding her everywhere she went. He was not taking any chances that Nick might still have a few tricks up in his sleeve.

“Fortunately, I would probably finish early today. But if I have to guess, you might have something to do with that.” She could not disclude her husband from her suspicion.

She assumed he might have called David, her boss, for a favor. Maybe asking him to lighten her load for her first day back on the job.

She could not ask for a better husband who would do anything to take care of her. She had finally realized that to be an independent and self-sufficient woman did not mean that she had to survive on her own.

It was not all about taking care of oneself, but it also meant being equal with her partner. It meant that she could also rely on her husband and the other way around.

“It was David’s idea that you should take it easy, not mine. But I did agree with him.” He admitted, not planning to lie to her.

When he called him earlier about a contract, her name did come up in the conversation. David suggested giving her time to adjust, at least for the day. After all, David understood what they had gone through.

“I do not mind. I also want to go home early, anyway.” She said to him as she turned around again and faced her desk, ready to get back to her work. “Can you wait for me in a couple more hours?” She asked.

She just needed to review a few more clients. Then she would be done for the day. Just like her husband, she could not wait to see him and spend the rest of the day and night with him.

After saying their goodbyes, she immediately returned to the files and quickly worked on it. She wished to finish before the hour was through and finalized her recommendations for each case.

Then, she would be running back home to be with her waiting husband. She suddenly felt a different kind of excitement to think that she would be coming home to a house full of love.

Finally, she had her first home away from home.

“Jacky, I am finished here.” She finally declared after signing on the last dotted line. Then, she closed the file folder.

She dropped the file on top of the pile of folders sitting on her desk. It was the last case she had to review for the day. Now, all she needed to do was send them to the different partners who had asked her to review them.

The rest, she would be taking on herself. She had already set aside a few folders on another pile that interested her. It was nothing extraordinary, but the clients seemed to be in dire need of help.

“Are you already going home?” Jacky asked, seeing that she was starting to pack up her things.

It was rare that she was the first to leave the office unless she had other prior engagements. But she was glad that her friend was taking it easy this time.

“Yeah, Alex is waiting for me at home.” She said excitedly, picking up her bag and pointing to Jacky what needed to be done with the files. “Why don’t you go home too after sending this out? I know you are dying to see Marcus.” She teased her friend.

She could only guess that her friend had been more excited about tonight than she was. She would support her as long as it made her happy.

But judging from the radiance on Jacky’s face, she could not keep the smile anymore from showing on her face. She was sure that what she felt was also reflected in her eyes at the moment.

She also felt the same way as her friend as they looked forward to seeing the man that had caught their hearts.

“I am,” Jacky admitted, grabbing the files on her table. “I will make sure to give him the best night of his life. I will be filling his belly with food fit for the Gods.”
