The Goddess Sculpture Is Actually My Husband’s Secret Mistress! - Chapter 50: Chapter 50

"Well I thought you would at least talk to me about it since it's my company after all" I crossed my arms and tried to look angry but failed seeing the regret in his eyes.
"I'm sorry"
"It's fine and thank you"
There was no point in being angry. He saved my company and the least I could do was thank him.
Marcus looked over my shoulder to speak to my staff. "Well everything is already prepared for you. You may go up and find the places you will be working in"
"Yours too" He gave me a small nod and left without another word. Behind him came Steve with a huge grin on his face. His eyes were dazzling as he looked at Sarah.
He scurried towards us and gave Sarah a peck on the cheek. She giggled loudly as she look down, blushing.
"What's going on?" Anna asked looking confused.
"Only god knows" I shook my head as I walked to the elevator.
Steve guided us to where we would be staying. Marcus's employees seemed to be happy to be working with my employees although they gave me weird looks.
And I was more than shocked when I saw an extra table placed in Marcus's room.
"Why did you take me here?" I asked gesturing to Marcus's room.
"Cause you will be working here" Steve grinned merrily.
"I'm sure there are plenty of other rooms in this building" I kept my hands on my hips and narrowed my eyes.
"Yes but since the contest is also coming up and the fact that you are co-owners means that Mr. Anderson will also be helping you with your work"
"So are you seriously telling me to work with him in the same room? "
" Uh-uh you are married to him..." Steve scrunched his nose in confusion.
I blinked awkwardly. "True. Okay thank you Steve"
I sauntered towards my table as Steve left. I quickly logged into our company's site and downloaded the necessary papers that burned in the fire. I printed them out and arranged them neatly on my table.
I was working on my laptop when Marcus walked in.
I didn't know if he regretted coming into my room last night. Maybe he came because I was miserable and not because he wanted to.
So I didn't raised my head and pretended to be absorbed in my work.
Two hours passed and I slowly glanced at Marcus. He was staring back at me and out of embarassment I quickly looked away and cleared my throat.
"Are you angry with me?" He asked with his eyebrows raised.
"What? No-no I'm not. Why would I be?" I stuttered and gave an awkward laugh still not meeting his eyes.
"Then why aren't you looking at me?"
I slowly raised my head and looked at him only to see him staring at me with daring eyes.
He sighed loudly before walking up to me.
He knelt down beside me and searched my eyes for answers.
I was entranced by his eyes. My heart leaped a beat whenever he looked at me and I get butterflies in my stomach whenever I saw him.
I was scared of my own feelings. It was something that I couldn't put into words.
I was confused about why I was feeling this way. He clearly said he wanted a divorce after a year. But I couldn't help myself as I involuntarily bit my lip.
His eyes widened momentarily as some emotion flashed across his eyes. Either I suck at reading faces or he is good at hiding his emotions.
"Did I do something? "
I shook my head, looking down.
He raised my chin with his fingers so that our eyes would meet.
He slightly stroked my cheek with his thumb and I felt my heart pounding at a swift pace.
"Why are you doing this? We are getting divorced in a year" I asked in a hushed tone.
Something that looked like hurt crossed his eyes for a second.
"We are not"
"What do you mean?" My eyes narrowed in confusion.
"You-your company is not stable. So we can't divorce within a year"
So that was it.
He didn't want to divorce me because my company was leaning on him. He was just kind-hearted enough to help a friend in need.
Hiding my sorrow, I quickly turned my head to my laptop and started working.
"I have some work to do. I guess you do too" I said in a monotonous tone.
I saw him hesitate for bit before he stood up and walked to his table.
From the corner of my eye I saw him staring at me. His eyes lingered on me for a while before he sighed and went back to his work.
A few hours passed and we still had one hour left until lunch. I remembered where Marcus took me for coffee, so I got up from my seat and walked to his door.
I saw Marcus looking at me but I simply ignored him and made my way to the coffee machine.
As I opened the door I shrieked and looked away, covering my eyes with my hands.
Sarah and Steve were making out like there was no tomorrow.
I saw Marcus walking towards me in a hurry, looking alarmed.
