The next morning, Gabriel was nowhere | tobeseen as took my breakfast and got | ready to leave for work. It was as we were getting in the car and I asked the driver where Gabriel was, did I learn that he had already left for work.

This is the first time we've gone to work separately since I started working for him. I didn’t know whether I was relieved or not.

Since he wasn’t around, I decided to drop Lilly off at school first. Her excitement had yet to die. The whole ride to school she kept talking about Sierra. I know my daughter, and I know she’s never been this excited or happy when it comes to another girl.

f She never had them over for sleep-overs, and if any of them invited her, she would come up with reasons why she couldn’t | attend. She never talked that much about | them; not like she was talking about this | Sierra who she’s only known for justa day. | Anyway, whatever makes her happy, makes me happy. If Sierra is capable of bringing out this girlish, squealing and giggling persona of Lilly, then who am I to stand in the way? For once, I'am happy to see my baby girl being a child. She has always been too mature for her age. Always carrying herself like she was thirty instead of a little girl. To be honest, seeing this, makes me glad that I agreed with Gabriel to pay for the expensive school.

After I dropped off Lilly, I went to work

/ “Mrs. Wood, we are here,” the driver's ) voice pulls me from my musings.

God! Iwill never get used to that name.

When I was married to Gabriel, no one ever called me that. Well, because no one knew we were married. Now all of our staff at home are calling by his name, and it’s taking time to get used.

Looking around, I realize that we were in the underground parking lot. After thanking him, I get out and head to the elevators.

I'was nervous about seeing Gabriel. As much as I tried, I couldn’t forget the brief kiss yesterday. No matter how short it had been, it was still able to shake me to my core.

The | electric currents that went through my | body almost numbed me. Even now, I can / still taste him. I can still feel his soft yet firm lips.

I shake my head, trying to push those thoughts away and banish the images. | was here to work, not think about my husband’s lips. I get on the elevator and the press the floor number.

“Morning, Christopher,” I say after getting out of the elevator and walking to his desk.

“Good morning, sugar... How was your night?” he stops what he was doing and asks.

This is one of the many things I love about Christopher. He doesn’t treat me any differently just because I am the boss's wife.

I wanted to correct him, but how can I without | ruining our image? Gabriel and I are married, so, of course, others expect us to be having sex. I can’t tell him we are not, given that he doesn’t know the terms of our marriage.

Instead, I clear my throat. “Anyway, is there anything you want me to do before we settle in for the day?”
