Chapter 17 - 17. Salary
Kizy and Markus were sitting in the passenger seats. Kizy knew that Markus would be suspicious hence she once again diverted the topic.
“Can you pay my monthly salary in advance?” Kizy asked him.
“Why the month isn’t over yet?” Markus said while raising his brows.
“But still i have been working for three weeks already. It will be a month in another week. I am you wife and i will be working there forever. Can’t you pay me a little earlier.” Kizy asked.
“Rules are rules dear. Even if you are my wife, you are also an employee.. And i can not discriminate between my employees” Markus said with a grin.
Kizy huffed and turned her face away from him. Markus thought for a minute before asking.
“Why do you need your salary now?” Markus knew very well what this dumb little lamb must be thinking.
“I wanted to buy gift for grandma from my salary” Kizy said with a pout.
“Why don’t you use my money? Afterall i am your husband” Markus was amused at his cirrect guess.
“No then that will be your gift. I want to buy all of them some gifts from my salary” Kizy said.
“But you are already mine. Whatever belongs to me is yours as well” Markus played along with her.
“No. You don’t have to be so cheesy with me. I won’t use your money. Anyways your comapny pays high salary so i can afford gifts for all three of them. Its just that the celebration is before I recieve my pay” Kizy said dejectedly.
Markus wanted to laugh at her thought process. However he cleared his throat before asking.
“How about this? I will pay for your gifts for the time being. After you recieve your payment, pay me back. Or i can directly deduct the gift price from your payment and pay you the remaining salary?” Markus suggested.
Kizy’s face immediately brightened.
“Yes yes. You can do that. Just deduct the salary and pay me remaining one. Anyways the salary is paid directly to my account so others won’t know” she clapped her hands at the brilliant idea.
Markus laughed inside his mind. How was this woman so gullible? If not for him, anyone would have tricked her easily.
But what he didn’t knew was Kizy was so carefree because it was him. No matter how much they fought, Kizy knew that Markus has never crossed her line. Knowing each other for years had made her realise that he never cheated others and had his own principles. Thus she didn’t have to think twice before relying on him.
This was something that even she didn’t knew. It had become her habit to subconsciously trust this man a little over years. Though he always spat vicious words which almost made her vomit blood, he had never done anything inappropriate to her. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The car came to a halt near one of the most expensive malls in City A.
“Are you doing this on purpose? Though your company pays higher salary than others, i can not afford this mall. It is too expensive” Kizy complained as soon as the car stopped.
“Stupid lamb, this mall belongs to our family. If the staff knows that your are accompanying me, they would give you generous discounts” Markus scoffed.
“Seriously?? But it would be your loss. Because this mall belongs to you, giving a discount will not give you any profit” Kizy asked.
“Do you think i will go in loss just for you. Even if they give a discount, they will make sure that they can still profit from it” with that he opened the car and started walking towards the mall.
Kizy immediately got doen from the car before running behind him. She was busy contemplating if it was a good idea to buy from this mall and let Markus pay, that she didn’t saw the car speeding towards her.
Markus was walking ahead but he had slowed down a little after hearing the sound of her running shoes. Just when he was about to speed up so that he could tease her, his driver shouted
“Young miss watch out!!”
Even Kizy who was lost in her thoughts suddenly realized that she was crossing the road and a car was about to hit her. And Markus witnessed exactly the same scene where Kizy stopped in her tracks and closed her eyes in fear.
He quickly ran towards her, knowing that this would be useless as the car was speeding andnhe won’t be able to reach her no matter how fast he ran. This was the moment when he felt scared, panicked and lost. These emotions that he had never felt before.
Just as the car was about to hit her, a shadow pushed her away. The driver, Markus, his bodyguards were all shocked at the the scene. Just when they thought that it was done for Kizy, someone had pushed her away and got hit by the car instead of Kizy.
But the most stunned person right now was none other than Kizy. Moments ago she was so afraid that her legs weren’t moving at all. It wasn’t that she didn’t wanted to move, but it seemed as if her legs were paralysed for that very moment.
Memories from the night when her mother met an accident came running down in her mind. Kizy had been badly traumatised by the accident and that was why she wasn’t able to run after watching the car. But just when she was waiting for the pain from this collision, two hands firmly pushed away from behind and she had fallen down on the ground.
All the passer by watched this scene and they were standing to watch what happened exactly. All the eyes were on the figure which was laying in a pool of blood, covered in black clothes.
Markus ran towards Kizy and lifted her up from the ground. But suddenly Kizy pushed his hand away and ran towards the person on ground. Markus followed behind her and was a little shocked at the identity of this person.
