Master's Untamed Wife-Chapter 58 - Like Butter

Hyson had laughed for a long time because of her reaction. He didn't even know why he found it so funny. But he couldn't help laughing his heart out. But as soon as his laughter vanished, a serious expression appeared on his face. His eyes ran over the books placed carefully on the shelf as he voiced out, "I had been trying to corrupt you for years and yet I failed. How come in just two days, your husband managed to change your bookish definition of the honeymoon?" He had a look of admiration as he went on, "I shouldn't have doubted Master Xian's abilities. He is indeed mighty as people say."

"How did my definition change?" she asked as she leaned against the side of her desk. "The short amount of time at the beginning of a new relationship, activity, or pursuit when everything goes well and seems to be free of problems is known as 'A honeymoon period.'" Hyson's head whipped around so fast that he almost got whiplash. "I was telling you that you just need to start a new activity and that'd be counted as being on honeymoon. You definitely don't need to get married to experience the joy of a honeymoon. What were you thinking?"

A vein on Hyson's temple throbbed making him want to strangle her. "Do you really think I'm a fool?" Raelle nodded her head without even thinking and he let out a chuckle, "Indeed. You do treat me like a fool. I shouldn't even be bothering questioning that."

"Why do you bother then?" she retorted.

*Knock! Knock!*

With two knocks, the door of her office was slightly opened and Cloe's head appeared in Raelle's sight. "Chief, where would you like to have your lunch?"

Raelle beckoned her inside, "Right here."

"Oh, okay," replied Cloe before she brought the tray of food inside. She had to go back and forth to bring in all the dishes and set it all up on the table. "Is there anything else you want?" She asked looking at Raelle and Hyson.

"This is enough," said Hyson as he went to wash his hands to get prepared to eat.

"Then I'll take my leave," said Cloe and was about to turn to leave when Raelle stopped her.

"Just sit down and eat with us."

Cloe was flattered to hear that offer and hurriedly nodded her head. As the three of them sat down together to eat, Raelle couldn't help noticing the way her assistant had been staring at her best friend with starry eyes.

"Cloe," she called out. "What's with that look in your eyes?"

Cloe lowered her eyes and said, "Actually, Chief, since the time you told me that he is an idol, I had been..."

"Stalking him online?" Raelle suggested a suitable word from her vocabulary for Cloe.

"It's not stalking," argued Cloe. "It's called the process of becoming a fangirl." She continued to stare at Hyson's handsome face as she gushed, "The moment I heard you sing, my heart just went 'thump thump'. I'm too old to do this but I couldn't help it. You're an amazing singer."

Hyson smiled at her and then looked at Raelle, "I am so happy to see that you have such capable employees. They are neither blind nor deaf like you." Raelle didn't even react to the way he was trying to insult her. And that too before her assistant. "Miss Cloe, I feel like we'd make good friends."

Cloe grinned at him, "If you ever have to write a resume, please do add... 'I'm a nutter, but I sing like butter. Every word that I utter, will make your heart flutter.'"

Hyson laughed out at that. He pointed at Raelle, "I have something similar about your boss as well." Cloe leaned over to hear it with anticipation bubbling in her eyes. "Raelle Xiang... 'I talk like a cutter, so I make people stutter.'"

"Having fun, are we?" Raelle's calm voice rang out as the other two were having fun with their own kind of humor. She gave both of them a look before adding, "Just because my life has no color, do you really think I won't dare to paint you both in blood's cover?"

Hyson patted her shoulder, "Your dark humor is really no fun."

"I wasn't being funny though," replied Raelle frankly which made Cloe seal her lips. Obviously, Hyson wasn't scared of death but Cloe was. Especially when she believed that her boss might act upon her dark humor. Raelle looked at Cloe and said, "It's better if you concentrate on eating your lunch rather than trying to flatter him."

Hyson tutted at that. "Such a cruel boss you are. Can't you let her enjoy it for a while? It's not like we'll be seeing each other every day."

Cloe also nodded in agreement as she added, "Chief, it's not like I see stars walking out of my phone screen every day." She showed Raelle her phone screen which had Hyson's photo and went on, "Right now, I really feel like he came out of my phone screen. It's that unreal. Even though I met him in person before becoming his fan."

"You both can have your fan and artist enjoyment outside of my office," she said making them both glare at her. Obviously, only Hyson dared to glare, Cloe could only think about doing it.

"Chief, you're no fun," began Cloe. "You don't even show me your husband and now you don't even let me have some fun with your best friend. I never knew you're this stingy." 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Hyson gasped at that, "Elle, how can you not show her your husband? If he was my husband, I'd have screamed it to the whole world by now."

"Fortunately, he isn't your husband," replied Raelle with a straight face making Hyson close his eyes to hold back his burst of curses.

He caressed his own head as he mumbled, "It's okay, Yue Fai. It happens. Her brain has a few cracks. No need to take her seriously. There is no need at all." After calming himself like that, he looked at Raelle again with a smile and said, "It's because I'm an amazing person that we're still friends."

"Oh," responded Raelle.

"Hear me out," he began. "Are you the most attractive girl out there? Of course not!" Cloe's eyes went round as he continued, "Do you have a good personality? A big, fat NO!" Cloe cowered back a little. Who would dare say this to Raelle's face? Indeed, she was stanning the right guy for the very first time in her life. "Also, do you wake up every day and try to be a better person? Hell NO! But even after all that, I'm still friends with you."

Raelle continued to look into his eyes before she nodded in agreement, "Stay the amazing person you are."

Cloe was stunned speechless. Her boss not only didn't get angry, she actually said those words. In her mind, Raelle's meaning was clear, 'Stay the amazing person you are, so we can stay as friends.'
