Chapter 74 - Because I Am His Wife.
Chapter 74 – Because I Am His Wife.
After arriving at the front door, the security guard pushed Sophie so hard that the bento box she was carrying bounced and scattered.
Shopia lost her balance so she immediately closed her eyes trying to surrender even if she was about to fall down some of the stairs.
"Why haven't I fallen and don't feel the pain of falling?" Shopia still had her eyes closed and was starting to get confused because she didn't feel like falling to the ground.
After that she felt a large and strong hand was wrapped around her waist. Immediately Shopia opened her eyes. Instantly she saw Michael's expression was staring at her.
"Michael?".
"Are you hurt?" Michael is heartbroken to see Shopia being dragged away by his own office security guard.
Luckily he returned quickly so he could witness how his wife was treated like an animal.
"I'm fine". Shopia answered with a smile.
However, Michael knew that Shopia was not okay. Therefore he immediately brought Shopia back into his office while holding her hand.
"Why are you holding my hand?". Shopia asked worriedly because she wasn't ready to be known as Michael's wife.
However, Michael didn't answer Shopia's question and held onto her hand tightly.
Shopia was speechless when she saw Michael's horrible expression when he saw the security guard who was standing in front of the entrance.
Seeing Michael's arrival all the staff ran and went back to work, and the security guard was still standing on his feet nervously.
Meanwhile, Clara and Monica and the receptionist were astonished to see Michael's arrival.
They were even more surprised when they saw Michael holding Shopia's hand very tightly.
"Honey… Why did you come back so long? I'm tired of waiting for you". Clara said without paying attention to Shopia who was beside Michael.
Clara ignored Michael's grip because she didn't want to think about anything that would hurt her.
Michael ignored Clara then glanced at the receptionist, instantly the receptionist was cold sweat and covered his body as well as the security guard who was pulled in by Jason.
"Sorry boss, actually he was just a person asking for donations so we asked her to leave, but she didn't want to go, she made Miss Clara feel annoyed. That's why we kicked her out". Said the receptionist who was trying to defend herself, she felt there was no need to be afraid because there was Miss Clara who would help her as long as she was on her side.
Hearing the receptionist's explanation, Michael's expression turned darker, how could he not, the wife he loved so much was considered a person who wanted to ask for donations and was even cruelly kicked out of his own office.
If Michael hadn't remembered his promise to Shopia, he might have shouted at the receptionist, he really really wanted to say, "She's my wife".
But Shopia squeezed Michael's hand so he wouldn't reveal the truth. Just holding his hand was more than enough to describe his closeness.
"Yes boss, that's right, this woman is a seducer after all. So, we should get rid of her immediately before she messes up this office". Said Monica who was disgusted to see Shopia holding Michael's hand.
Once again his wife was accused of being a seducer.
"Michael… We'd better go to your room, we have to discuss our engagement soon, that's why your mother asked me to come here, and let this girl go because I'm afraid your hands might get dirty by her". Clara said in a soft voice.
After that, Clara tried to hold Michael's hand to remove Shopia's hand from Michael's grasp.
"Keep your hands off me!" Michael said.
Immediately Ciara felt very embarrassed because her hand was rejected by Michael and it was witnessed by everyone. Clara felt so embarrassed that she thought she wanted to dig a hole to hide.
"Michael… Why are you treating me like this just because of this damned woman?". Clara pointed at Shopia in annoyance while crying.
Michael glanced at everyone including the security guard who had pushed Shopia without ignoring Clara's drama.
He then glanced at Jason and gave an order. "Jason… Arrange the letters of dismissal for all those involved".
After giving orders, Michael took Shopia away. But he stopped when he heard Clara's scream.
"Wait Michael! You can't leave without giving me an explanation! Why did you choose to bring that rotten woman over me!".
Clara screamed because she was so angry that she was willing to throw away her good image in front of so many people.
Shopia let go of Michael's hand and leaned closer to Clara and whispered in her ear.
"Because I'm his wife. So, naturally he took me".
Hearing Shopia's confession, Clara was stunned because she couldn't believe it.
"Let's go!". Shopia said as she took Michael's hand.
Even though he didn't know what Shopia was whispering to Clara, he believed that his wife had whispered something terrible so Clara's expression was like an idiot.
After that, the two of them continued on their way to Michael's room ignoring everyone who was looking at them in confusion.
Monica woke up from her shock to hear that she was fired, she felt disapproved and she really didn't understand why her boss fired her just because of Shopia.
"Has the boss been tempted by Shopia? Or do they have a special relationship?". Monica said while glancing at Clara.
"Miss Clara, how is it? We were only helping you."
"Yes". Said the receptionist and security guard at the same time.
Clara's expression was very bad, it felt like she wanted to dismember Shopia's body.
After that, Clara glanced at Monica while saying, "You deserve it".
After saying that to Monica, Clara immediately left because she was embarrassed, she was going to be engaged to Michael but instead she was ignored and Michael chose to take someone else away.
The worst thing was when she heard that Shopia was Michael's wife. Was it just a joke?
"Don't feel like you've won just yet, Shopia. I will never let you trample on my pride and ruin my engagement, I will destroy you, so that Michael comes back to me". Inner Clara.
Meanwhile, Jason quickly got to work.
The receptionist was crying as well as the security guard who looked pale. Meanwhile, Monica was burning with anger.
"You guys have lit a fire for yourselves. So don't blame anyone if you get burned!". Jason said.
"Who started the fire? We were just trying to help Miss Monica get rid of that bitch". Monica's mouth was still spicy and sharp when she insulted Shopia.
Once again Jason felt sorry for their ignorance then he smiled at their stupidity not realizing who the real Mrs Boss was.
