Master's Untamed Wife

"I'm almost there, what about you?"

That was the first thing Shui Xian heard when he picked up Raelle's call. He just came out of the meeting when she called him. He looked at the time, it was quarter to 4. Because the holidays had just ended a few days ago, he had been very busy. But he still didn't think he'd be stuck in the meeting for this long.

"I just came out of the meeting, will be there as soon as possible," he replied and taking advantage of his long legs, took long strides. He was walking in such a hurry that even his assistant was having trouble keeping up with him. And he was also clueless about why Master Xian was in such a hurry today.

Raelle looked up from the iPad screen and replied, "Okay, then don't be late. I'm a very patient person, but I don't wait for people."

"I can tell," was his response before they ended the call. He gave some instructions to his assistant before leaving the office before the working hours. And as he left so early, everyone in the company started gossiping about why Master Xian left early today. After all, since the time, he took over the business, he'd be found in the office even after the working works.

There were a lot of wild guesses but there was no real conclusion. It left people feeling restless and curious.

....

Cloe looked at her boss through the rearview mirror and frowned in confusion. Raelle had asked her to clear her schedule after 3 o'clock. But she wasn't given any explanation regarding it. It wasn't like Raelle ever gave her any clear answers but it was even more inconceivable that she was actually ditching work for something.

But when the car stopped outside the Civil Service Bureau, Cloe's brain really blanked out. She tried to think of all possibilities why her boss would want to come here. But none fit. "Chief, are we at the right place?"

Raelle looked at the building and nodded her head, "Seems like it." She alighted from the car and wore her big black shades that covered almost half of her face.

Cloe followed her out and stood beside her as she asked, "Chief, what business do we have here?"

Raelle was observing everyone around her as she replied, "Not we, I came here for an important business. You can leave now." While Cloe was hesitating whether to question further or not, when Raelle's voice rang out again, "By the way, how am I looking?"

Cloe was stunned by that question. It was not hard to answer the question, it was hard to understand why this question was being asked. She looked at Raelle from top to bottom. Those burgundy culottes matched with a white shirt and nude shoes along with the red and pink plaid blazer that was carelessly draped over her shoulders gave her a bold look. With her looks and those clothes, did she even have to ask how she looked? The answer was very obvious!

She gave her two thumbs up saying, "As always, Chief, is looking super cool and gorgeous!" She wasn't trying to flatter her, she was complimenting sincerely.

Raelle touched the golden hoop earring and said, "It was pointless to ask you." She had heard the same thing from people so many times, that it seemed too perfunctory now.

Cloe felt wronged when Raelle said that but she still dared to ask, "But, Chief, what's the occasion?"

"I'm getting married," was Raelle's casual response. "You can leave now. Since I'm taking the next couple of hours off, you should work in my place. Don't laze around. Let me know as soon as the new contract is delivered."

Cloe was in a daze after hearing Raelle's response and even nodded in a daze. She didn't know how she got back inside the car and left. She just knew her brain was reeling from shock. She couldn't even question Raelle whether she was joking or being serious? Because she already knew the answer; Raelle didn't joke around such stuff.

Maybe she had heard her wrong? She questioned herself doubtfully. Yes, she definitely heard wrong. There was no other explanation for this.

Raelle found herself a place to sit and sat down as she took out her iPad from the handbag and continued to read the reports.

Shui Xian had tried to drive as fast as he could. He didn't even bring his driver or assistant with him. But the traffic still made him delay for ten minutes. When he reached his destination, he found Raelle very easily. She was sitting at a very conspicuous place after all. And let's not forget, how everyone around here would at least look in her direction once. She really didn't know how many heads turned, all thanks to her.

"Sorry, got stuck in traffic."

Raelle looked up and gave him a smile as she stood up and looked at the time. "You're late."

"I know. That's why I apologized," said Shui Xian.

Raelle put her iPad back inside and said, "If you hadn't come for another five minutes, I would have..."

"What?" he questioned. "You would have left?"

Raelle shook her head, "How can I waste my trip? If I'm already here, I might just do what I came to do." Shui Xian's brows jumped up slightly and she elaborated, "I'd have picked a random guy and got married to him."

Shui Xian was left speechless for a minute. "Something tells me you are not the kind of person who'd be able to marry any random guy."

Raelle looked up into his eyes, "You shouldn't forget that you're also just a random guy to me." She took off the shades and said, "But you are a special random guy."

"Oh? How so?" he questioned.

"You're the random guy my grandfather selected for me," replied Raelle with a smile. Then she turned around and added, "Let's get this over with, shall we?"
