She shrank herself by the bed side, she was afraid to turn over.
It was unexpected that he stretched his hand to wrap her waist in the dark.
“Ah…” Sylvie shouted.
“What are you shouting for?” He replied in a low tone in her ear, his breathe made her feel terrified.
He pulled her over to the center of the bed without doing anything further. He just wanted to hug her tightly and kept his head against her neck. He whispered, “Let’s sleep!”
Sylvie was startled and felt relieved at the same time. She did not dare to move at all. Therefore, she just closed her eyes and allowed him to hug herself like this.
His hug was warm and real. She could even hear his heartbeat. He did not move at all, both leaned against each other tightly. They were like any ordinary loving couple in an ordinary family. There were absolutely no gaps between them.
But she knew that they were thinking about different matters. He was compromising for the Hughes family. At the same time, she was willingly to do it to repay the kindness that she owed to him.
She was almost drowned by his sudden gentle action. There was an illusion that she was being cherished by the way he hugged her!
She thought that she could not sleep by the way he hugged her. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep, her quality of sleep turned out to be better than before.
Marley was not the person who slept a lot. When he woke up at six in the morning, he realized that there was a little thing in his arms. She was soft and warm like a little rabbit.
It was Sylvie?!
He opened his eyes and looked down on her. He suddenly felt uncomfortable and wanted to look down on himself. He came to the newly wedding room by himself. It seemed like he had been doing many unreasonable things at home ever since the marriage. But she always looked innocent.
Sylvie’s eyes were closed with long eyelashes covering her eyelids. It was covering her beautiful big eyes. Her nose was upright along with her peach look alike mouth. Her white skin and blushed cheeks made him want to swallow his saliva in the morning.
It was coincidentally that Sylvie did not have the habit of waking up late. She quickly woke up and stretched herself lazily. She accidentally touched something that she should not touch and Marley suddenly gasped.
“Huh?” Sylvie suddenly opened her eyes when she noticed someone was beside her. She was looking directly at Marley’s dark pupils. She looked at him like a frightened deer. Before she cried out in surprise, she was kissed by Marley.
“Mr. Hughes…” She shouted gently.
He suddenly hated to be addressed by this name. He suddenly put more force on his kiss as both of their foreheads pressed against each other. He opened his eyes and looked at her big eyes closely. She said gently, “I, I, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet!”
Her shyness drew out his inner joy, his eyes slowly became deep and gentle.
She was so shocked that she closed her eyes with a blushing face that looked like a peach.
Her shyness triggered his inner joy, and his eyes gradually became gentle and deep. She was releasing a seductive vibe.
He kissed and bit her lips gently. He was teasing her to open her little mouth, he wanted to use his lips to play around with her lips and teeth.
His breath became heavier. He was putting more strength on holding her waist. Her clothes were stripped and scattered on the ground. When Sylvie came back to her sense, it was already after 7. 30a. m. in the morning.
On this day, both Mr. Hughes and his wife Sylvie were late together.
Mr. Hughes who had always been serious at work, he was never late at work. It was already 8. 30a. m. when Sylvie appeared next to Marley at the company lobby. The receptionist in the front desk felt that something was wrong.
Sylvie was going to take the employee elevator. Marley asked, “Where are you going?”
“I want to take the elevator!” Sylvie turned around and replied.
Marley raised his eyebrows and replied, “Let’s go!”
After he finished talking, he pressed for his exclusive elevator. Sylvie had to go in with him, she was lowering her head.
She did not expect that there would be an accident in the morning. It was safe last night but when she woke up in the morning, he touched her and both were entangled together for almost an hour. It was completely different from the beginning. This morning, she had experienced the happiness which any newly married woman should have. But she did not know how to explain the happiness which she had experienced earlier on.
She suddenly blushed as she did not dare to look at him. When they were together, she kept lowering her head. Sometimes, he was looking at her head several times but she did not dare to look up at him.
“Why do you lower your head?” He suddenly asked when the elevator door was closed.
“Uh…” Sylvie frowned as she squeezed her bag tightly. She slowly raised her head and her eyes were hanging low. She looked away but she did not know that the wall of this elevator was transparent. As she was looking away, she realized that there was a pair of eyes looking back at her. She was startled.
He suddenly laughed, it seemed like he was laughing at her shy behavior like a little girl.
She pouted as she looked at him then she lowered her head again.
“Secretary Sylvie, do you still want to be punished if you can’t distinguish between private and public interests?” He suddenly asked in a low tone, it was an indescribable intonation.
“I don’t!” Sylvie hurriedly denied.
“Are you thinking that the analysis report last night and this morning’s exercise weren’t enough for you, should we work harder tonight?” He sounded ambiguous as he suddenly approached her closer.
“No!” She was frightened that she took a step back but she was leaned against the wall of the elevator.
He smiled weirdly as he looked at her. His eyes directly looked at her panicking eyes.
Her long hair was curled up as her eyes were flickering. It was revealing her smooth forehead. She looked adorable as she was blushing from embarrassment.
“What no?”
He did it on purpose!
Why did he have the interest in teasing her? Sylvie’s heard was pounding that she could even hear her heart beating loudly.
Marley’s gaze swept across a particular spot of her skin on the collar of her shirt. He frowned and suddenly stretched out his hand to fasten the button of her shirt.
Sylvie was stunned for a while until he seemed to be satisfied fastening the button of her shirt. She was confused. After she finished the work early in the morning, she went to the bathroom to unbutton the button of her shirt. She found out that there was hickey on her neck. It was a love hickey left by him, she suddenly understood that intention of his behavior.
While the elevator was going up, he was leaning against her neither too near nor too far. Her heart was pounding so fast until the elevator reached the highest floor. He said, “Don’t get too carried away from work, I don’t like if you can’t distinguish between private and public interest!”
Then he took a step ahead out of the elevator and she followed behind.
At the same time, Aila, Maisy and Daria were startled when they saw them walking towards them. Marley looked at Aila and said, “Aila, bring a cup of coffee in!”
“Yes!”
Sylvie suddenly remembered that she did not learn how to make a cup of coffee yet. She needed to catch up.
When she sat down, all three of them were looking at her suspiciously. There was a sense of ambiguous, Sylvie felt awkward and quickly lowered her head.
Oh no, everyone was going to gossip about her!
“Oh! Someone was pleased as punch!” Tyler started yelling at Marley as soon as he entered the office.
Marley smiled a little, “Just spill out if you have something to talk about. If you have nothing to say, don’t keep any personal affairs in the conversation. I’m tired. If you have nothing much to do, please think about on how to treat those old men! I’m just afraid if we just kick them out of the chairman board!”
“Uh! I have done too many things that have offended many people around!” Tyler smiled a little, “That group of old men isn’t a problem at all. You’re here, that’s the problem. It seems like it’s not about work, right?”
“Then why do you think I’m here then?”
“Because of our adorable Secretary Sylvie!” Tyler smiled ambiguously. “Today, both of you were late and Secretary Sylvie was blushing. It seemed like she was being well taken care. Marley, don’t be too serious about everything. Sometimes when you make a mistake, just let it be. Sometimes it might not be bad thing either. She looked better than any other girls in my opinion!”
“Tyler Cooper!” Marley’s face suddenly sank in.
Tyler knew that Marley would not be able to stand it no matter who mentioned about that person. Therefore, he shook his head. “Okay, I believe that whoever is cherishing the happiness in front of themselves is considered as a smart person. The utmost thing that a successful person would know is to extract the surplus to the maximum level. A successful man should know what kind of woman is worth to be loved! Of course, that’s your private matter. I would not start the topic again in the future! I’m just kidding, don’t take it seriously!”
Marley smiled a little, “Whatever you just said actually makes sense, maybe I should be aware about the current affair.”
Although Marley was smiling but there was no trace of smile in his eyes. Instead, he seemed to be tired. He leaned on the executive chair and said silently, “She called me yesterday but she did not say a single word!”
“Are you talking about Jemima?” Tyler was startled. “I didn’t say anything yet, how did you know that it was her?”
“I know, my feeling has always been right!” Marley slowly turned his sight to the sky outside of the window.
Tyler narrowed his eyes and had a deep thought, “So what? She was the one who chose to leave at the beginning. Why was she calling you for? Marley, no matter what. Sylvie is your wife now. Your father isn’t getting well yet. The company is still unstable yet. Those old shareholders are still looking for opportunities to turn the table around. If you’re emotionally involved, I’m afraid that you would be the person who suffers!”
“Maybe it’s a happiness to live peacefully!” Marley gently replied.
“Live your life well and don’t focus on nosy matters too much!”
On this day, both Marley and Tyler had to work overtime and personally went to inspect the construction site in the afternoon. The highest floor was left with a few secretaries, therefore she was questioned by them.
“Mrs. Hughes, can you share with us about why were you late with Mr. Hughes? Did you two linger with each other too much?” Maisy suddenly changed her title.
“That’s right, I think you were blushing the whole day. Was Mr. Hughes being too rough on you that you were completely moisturized by him?” Daria also smiled ambiguously.
Aila seemed to be particularly concerned about this, “I think it’s too passionate?”
Sylvie was completely speechless about them. She smiled helplessly, “It’s working time now. Mr. Hughes says that he doesn’t like staffs who gossip too much, do you still want to ask?”
“Let’s wait until after working time then. I’ll treat you all after work. We’ll go for karaoke and gossip together then!” Maisy blinked her eyes.
Sylvie was completely speechless. She paid no attention about it.
At this moment, there were two persons who walked out from the elevator. Aila immediately stood in front to stop them. “Mr. Hughes, He’s not in the office now, are you looking for him?”
“He’s not around? Ask Sylvie to come out!” Kasper asked rudely. He sounded loud and angry.
As soon as Sylvie looked up, she saw Marley’s uncle standing at the secretary’s front desk. He seemed like he was looking for troubles. Sylvie stood up, “Both Mr. Hughes, what can I do for you two?”
“Sylvie, let’s have a conversation!” Kasper replied.
She was startled and looked at Aila. She was a little worried, “Secretary Sylvie, I think it’s better to wait for Mr. Hughes to come back!”
“We’re looking for Sylvie McCarthy, not Marley Hughes!”
Sylvie hesitated a little and nodded. “Aila, please help us to open the door of the meeting room. Mr. Hughes, let’s go to the meeting room and have a chat then!”
