The Goddess Sculpture Is Actually My Husband’s Secret Mistress! - Chapter 44: Chapter 44

For the past two days, Marcus and I had been getting along well. He had to go for work but at night we always cooked together. He still had his nightmares. At night I kept my alarm so that I could wake up when Marcus did.
I looked at the pool every night, peeping through my window. As usual, he sat in front of the pool. But one thing was different. Even though he sat by the pool he kept glancing at my room.
I was brought out of my trance as Sarah walked in with a huge stack of files.
I exhaled loudly in annoyance.
"Nope, this is not all. You have more papers to sign"
"You will be the death of me" I folded my arms in front of my chest and I leaned my head on the chair.
"Ma'am the fashion contest between the companies are coming up soon. We are the ones who is hosting it this year. You do remember right?"
"Oh my god. I can't" I slid down my chair like a slug while groaning loudly.
Ignoring me Sarah continued the torture.
"We are planning to have it at the Anderson's hotel in New York. But since the contest lasts for a month they are not willing to give us the hotel for such a long period "
"So what do you want me to do?" I narrowed my eyes already knowing what her answer would be.
Sarah grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"And you happen to be the lovely wife of Mr. Anderson"
"You've got to be kidding me" I hissed through gritted teeth, earning a chuckle in response from my lovely secretary.
"Let's go and see the Andersons" Sarah squealed in delight and hopped out of the room. I swear she has something going on with Steve.
We drove to Marcus's company which was literally a skyscraper. The building rose high up to the sky almost touching the clouds with it enormous helipad at the roof top. The glass walls in each floor reflected the light of the day blinding the vision of those who walk on the ground.
I covered my eyes with my hand and looked at the building, mentally counting it's floors.
"I want this"
Sarah rolled her eyes and walked past me into the building. Steve was waiting at the entrance waving at me ,no- waving at Sarah who was grinning like a mad witch.
She tucked her hair behind her ears, biting her lip seductively, Steve smiled at her with red cheeks.
"Did you two sleep together?" I asked astounded.
"What? No-no"
"Nothing happened"
They both said at the same time looking very, very, very embarrassed. Something was definitely fishy and I'm going to find it out soon. They say curiosity killed the cat. But what if the cat couldn't help it?
As I passed the Empire employees, I heard many whispers, jealous girls eyeing me with disgust. I felt like I was in high school, walking through the hallway while dating the biggest jock in school.
We took the elevator and reached Marcus's floor. I got out and walked till I found his room at the end of the floor. I knocked on the door and heard a weary come in.
I opened the door and walked in, not surprised at the interior.
His room was made primarily of glass, as expected. Behind his table was a huge glass wall overlooking the city, giving me a Christian Grey feeling.
Except for his table all the furniture in the room was white. And there behind a laptop and a stack of files sat my Cupid.
His coat laid on the chair, a few buttons on his shirt undone , his tie was loosened. His disheveled hair was partly covering his eyes as he concentrated on his work. It was a mouth watering sight. I would've been fangirling right now if he wasn't my husband.
His eyes were glued to his laptop and he didn't even notice me coming in. I stood in front of him and knocked lightly on his table with my knuckles.
His tilted his head up and recognizing me he quickly stood up from his chair and walked towards me.
"Serapha, I didn't know you were coming. Please sit "
"You didn't know? Didn't Steve tell you?" I looked behind to see Steve only to meet a flirting couple.
Sarah was giggling loudly at some joke that Steve had said. How awesome. I pursed my lips into a thin line and glanced back at Marcus.
"So I think that you might have heard of the fashion contest" I said while sitting down on one of his comfortable chairs. Gosh, I want this too.
Marcus nodded and took a seat in front of me.
"I wanted to know if we could rent the place for one month " I gave him puppy eyes as I pleaded. "Please " I brought my hands together and gave him a huge smile closing my eyes.
I felt my dignity leaving me as I begged him. The fashion contest was important and hosting it was a big deal. I couldn't let other companies find faults in me. Marcus's hotel was one of the best in New York and holding the event there would make me shine in front of my rivals.
