Royal Ceo by Seerat Kaur (superbooks4u TXT) 📗

       "Yes," He took a step ahead. His fingers swiped around my ear, tucking the hair behind my shoulder, "I should inspire my wife instead of forcing her to stay in the premises of our house." His fingers trailed down the side of my neck.     

       I was enjoying the talk between us and his touch was pushing the tension away. I couldn't tear my eyes away from him with such an Innocent look over his face, "I should go. Eri must be waiting." I forced myself to say. 

        "You scared me today." I stood frozen, big eyes looking at him. We both stayed quiet, reflecting on what he’d just said, "You can go to the office, out to meet your family, friends. Just let me know." He whispered. 

        "Yes," I nodded instantly as everything depended on my answer. 

        His hands lingered on me longer than necessary. He kissed my head, "I'll pick you up," He said and strode toward the table where uncle was waiting for him with his laptop. 

      I glanced at him until he was near the table I paced out of. Aerial was waiting by her car, "You should let him drop you home." She said. 

       "And mess up things between us. I'm already confused." I told her. 

       "You love him. You should spend time with him." She opened the door and stared at me. 

      I shook my head, turning my gaze back at the door. He wasn't around to hear but I couldn't let him know, " Don’t get all big-headed over it.” I paced around the car. I opened the door and slid in, "Now get me into the meeting," I asked her. 

      "It's not that important," She glanced at her wrist, "I asked Trist to handle everything. As we are going to strengthen our business. I think we should give Trish a chance. She's hardworking and deserves it. Manager post." She said. 

      No doubt, Trish is hard working but Edward will never approve of her because of her lack of experience according to the post. Hell! He wouldn't appoint us as we weren't the big fishes in the industry. 

      "Let Edward decide this. He wouldn't hire anyone with less experience." I told her. 

      "True! King wants perfection in everything." She 

       Whatever was happening between us, I didn’t want it to stop. I was definitely scared after his act on our wedding night. I pushed disturbing thoughts away. 

       "But we can recommend her. She deserves this." I fully agreed with her. In our absence, she was handling our business. 

       "Hm. I received a call from an NGO. They wanted to thank you personally." She said. 

       I haven't told her anything. She thinks Edward has granted me the money. I wouldn't mind lying over it. 

       "They talked to you. That means they talked to me." I said. There was no need to thank me. Everyone deserves a roof over their heads, clothes, food on their plates, and happiness in their lives.
