Chapter 25: CHAPTER 25: CHANGE OF HEART?

Her face reddened as a tomato!

She rushed outside and settled on her chair. If only Marcus can see the thick smoke coming out her nose and ears as she shies away…Omo!

She crossed her arms on her chest while thinking a lot of disturbing thoughts. "He saw it! he saw my naked body!" She pouted in dismay. "Was he turned off or turned on? Aistttt!" She wiggled and banged her forehead on the desk.

Fudge! She pouted desolately. Guess he was turned off. hu-hu! She assumed.

Meanwhile, Marcus has been watching the woman at the recording monitor. She's hitting her forehead as if she's scolding her own self. He couldn't help but chuckled at her silliness. "Cute." He was enthralled.

The woman totally piqued his interest. Thinking about it, the woman is definitely a beauty and her childishness added a fascinating charm on her.

After a few minutes, he saw the woman stood up but she staggered backwards. Good thing she swiftly held on the partition and leaned her back on it. Then she raised her head and sighed deeply.

She glanced at her pale hands then sat back on the chair. What's wrong with her? Why does she keep on fainting?

Marcus saw how troubled she was at the moment and wondered what's stressing her. Could it be…

Meanwhile, Jade peeped at her old wristwatch, she still has some time left to finish her work. Then she cupped her cheeks, inhaled an amount of air then exhaled deeply. She can't possibly let such a small thing bothered her work.

However, looking at the papers piled up on her desk, she sighed defeated. The truth is, her mind was still in a muddle and had been yearning to go home. Ah! How she wanted to seek peace at the moment!

But she's been unconscious for hours now so how can she think of sleeping again considering that she needed to finish the new set of files on her desk? It must have been piled up while she was knocked out.

Also, tomorrow is her rest day and she can't possibly ditch the old woman since she had already made a promise. She can't leave any work undone before her day off or she'll be doomed. She won't dare procrastinate since she was working with the CEO. Just as what he said, she must be professional. He might be her husband at home but he is her boss at the office.

She started browsing a document when she suddenly heard her stomach growled. Then her eyes landed on the lunchbox she put aside a few hours ago. Right, she didn't eat her lunch.

She pouted pitifully while looking at the lunchbox… can she still eat when lunchtime is over? She slowly reached it then opened the lid but she swiftly pushed it again. No! Marcus will definitely yell at her, worst, what if he reprimands her? As they said, he is very strict and merciless at the same time. Eating during work hours was strictly prohibited.

With sadness in her eyes, she pushed the lunchbox away from her while her other hand clenched her stomach from time to time. She's totally hungry.

The hell with that freaking woman! If only she didn't come to the office! She pouted pitifully. "I'm going to die of hunger!" She banged her forehead on the desk once again.

To her surprise, the door to Marcus' office opened wide. "Marcus! I…N-not that I'm dawdling but----" She stood surprise and didn't noticed she called him by his first name.

"I'm going out for a while." Marcus nonchalantly uttered without letting the woman finish.

"Eh? But Sir, you don't have any appointment this time." She double checked her planner. Indeed, he doesn't have any appointment at all.

"Do I have to tell you about my personal schedules too?"

"Eh?" She blushed in shame. "Sorry I should have not asked." She faked a smile. "What time will you be coming back so I'll know what to say in case someone asked?"

"Be here in an hour."

"An hour?!" Her eyes suddenly sparked. At last! Now she can eat! She couldn't help but grin.

"Any problem with that?"

"No! of course no… Just take your time, Sir."

Marcus hissed before leaving the office. And as soon as he left, the woman excitingly sat down and opened her lunchbox and smell it first before munching it heartily. Fudge! She was damn hungry!

Meanwhile, Marcus' lip twitched upwards upon watching someone from his phone happily munching some food. "Tsk! Should I just fire you?" He muttered before putting his phone back to his pocket.

"So where will I go now?" He asked himself. "One hour, tsk! Why do you have to leave when you could have told her to just eat? You're so stupid Marcus!" He stroked his forehead in disappointment. Guess he doesn't have a choice but to disturb his friend for a while.

He chose to drive his red sports car and drove to Immaculate hospital. He didn't want to cause such a ruckus but seemed like his brand new car caught the hospital staffs' attention.

"What's the commotion all about?" A handsome doctor wearing a white lab gown on top of his blue collared shirt asked one of the receptionist who just came in his office. The woman was blushing and giggling as he speaks.

"You won't believe it doctor, Mr. Hanes is in the hospital right now!" She dreamily answered.

The doctor rolled his eyes knowingly. "Tell him that doctor Spencer is out as of the moment." He was about to enter his office when he heard a familiar voice.

"Too late for the lie, baby." Marcus was already standing at the doorway while the receptionist and the other staffs screamed in awe. They didn't know that doctor Spencer was a close friend of the famous bachelor in the country.

They were drooling as they watched the two entered Spencer's office. Geeze! If they can only pretend to be a patient just to get another glimpse of him. However, doctor spencer placed a 'do not disturb' notice on his door.

"What brought you here?" Spencer took a cup of tea and served it to his visitor.

"I need a place to rest for an hour." He sighed before drinking the lemon grass tea.

"Did something happen?"

"You can say that."

Spencer raised his brow unbelievingly when he saw the man leaned on the couch, his mind was obviously somewhere. "Stressed over something? or should I say S O M E O N E?" He teased.

"Not really. I'm only bothered about that woman."

"That woman? I don't think your pertaining to Rachelle though so it must be the woman you married. tell me I'm right."

"Ehm." He released a deep sigh once again.

"Did something happen?"

"She's becoming a nuisance as days passes by."

"Care to tell me more?" Spencer inquired.

Marcus heard him but he did not respond to his queries. Instead, his mind involuntarily remembered his past few weeks with the woman he married. He appreciates the woman waking up early to prepare him breakfast despites being tired and exhausted every night. Yet she never failed to flash a sweet smile and greets him every morning.

Then his mind travelled during the two times he changed her clothes. Such a soft and delicate skin…. He suddenly beamed mischievously.

Spencer, a psychiatrist and a close friend of Marcus, had been watching him as he daydreams.

Hmm… He traced his jaw as he studied the man. What is this that he was seeing? When Marcus came to him and talked about the woman he will be marrying, his face was filled with hate. He despised the woman completely. However, seeing how he was acting right now, seemed that Marcus had a change of heart.

Is he falling for her? If that's the case, then he'll need to meet this woman soon.
