27. The parcel

Kizy finally sighed before rolling her sleeves back and carried the parcel box to the elevator with a lot of efforts.

She immediately placed the box on ground before taking deep breaths.

"God if I die today while carrying this box, make sure Markus suffers for rest of his life." Kizy cursed after a few moments.

'Ding'

The elevator reached on 40th floor where Markus's office was located. Kizy once again breathed deeply before using all her power to lift the box.

She staggered towards his office. Just as she managed to successfully open the door by a kick, she lost her balance and fell down along with the box.

Markus who was busy listening to Joel's report was already furious at someone kick-opening his door. And now his 'beloved' wife along with his 'precious' parcel were lying on the floor.

"Yo stupid woman what are you doing?"

Kizy ignored his words as she was feeling a sharp pain from her ankle. She tried standing up with support of the parcel box but the next second she fell down with a shriek.

"Aaaahhhhhh"

"Why are you shouting?" Markus asked as he and Joel came to stand beside her.

"Boss I think Miss Kizy sprained her ankle." Joel said. He had observed her throughout the day.

First of all she had to run around the entire building wearing those high heels, and now she had fallen down while carrying a heavy box. Thus it wasn't hard for Joel to see that she shreiked because of her pain in foot.

"What??" This time it was Markus who shrieked.

He instantly bent down and carried Kizy towards the sofa.

"You... you don't have to do this.. I.. I can walk-" Kizy was quickly interupted by Markus.

"Stop it you idiot. Don't utter even a single word." And with that Markus removed her heels. But...

That single sight was enough to make him extremely enraged.

"Why are your feet in such bad condition? They had so MANY cuts, blisters and are also swelled. What on earth were you doing all this time??? Do you want to die?" Markus shouted at her.

"How can you shout at me? All these have been caused by you!!" Kizy shouted trying to match his volume.

"Caused by me? Huhhhh... forget it. Joel bring me some ice first." Markus said while turning towards Joel.

Joel immediately left the room. But somehow he was surprised. His boss never showed much emotion on his face as if he was suffering from facial paralysis. But since he married Kizy, he expressed a wide range of emotions and the one seen just now was even more intense.

But his ladyboss didn't feel that. In fact other ladies will be dying to carry his boss's shoes. But right now Markus had removed her heels and was massaging her foot. Even then the ladyboss was shouting at him.

Joel seriously wanted to tell all this to Kizy but he knew that Markus won't like that at all. Thus he simply returned with the ice.

"Go buy a few flat and comfortable slippers for her. Also purchase a good ointment for blisters and cuts from pharmacy before you return." Markus said without even glancing at Kizy.

"You don't have to-" and Kizy was once again interupted.

"Miss Kizy please don't argue with boss over this." Joel said politely before disappearing from the room.

"So how was all of this caused by me?" Markus asked while massaging ice over the swelling.

"Forget it. These are some minor injuries. They will heal in a day or two." Kizy said.

She wasn't one of those who liked to make a fuss out of small things. All these years there was no one by her side who would care about her. She only had her mom, and she didn't wanted to make her worry over her minor issues. Thus it was her habit to hide such things.

Fortunately Markus didn't pursue the matter further.

"You just rest for few more minutes. I will be done with my work. Then we can go back home." Markus said to Kizy after the ice had completely melted.

He then picked up the parcel box and went back to his desk.

Kizy who was drained after an entire day of non stop work was more than happy to comply. She simply closed her eyes and rested.

After a few minutes Joel knocked the door and entered.

"Boss-"

"Shhh" Markus said while gesturing him to keep quiet.

Joel understood and placed all the things on his desk before leaving the room.

Markus finished his work and went to wake Kizy up.

"This is the ointment. Apply it and wear these slippers." He said while passing the bag that Joel had bought.

"Thank you." Kizy sincerely said before following what he said.

But suddenly Markus bent and picked her up princess style.

"You.. you put me down... i know.. how to walk." Kizy said while trying to struggle in his embrace.

"Wifey do you feel shy. Don't worry, nobody enters this floor and no one steps in this elevator as well. So you can do whatever you want." Markus said with a dramatic expression.

"Hey you.. I don't want to do anything with you." Kizy said while pointing a finger at him.

"Ok why are you shouting honey. It is said that people shout only when they are guilty. So were you thinking about doing something intimate but felt guilty after i spoke your inner wish?" Markus continued teasing.

"You are the one who feels guilty." Kizy said before pouting and turning her head to the other side.

Markus left the elevator with Kizy in his arms.

"Oh I remember I wanted to remind you something." Kizy said out of blue.
