10 BECAUSE YOU'RE MY WIFE

...

"Do you think CEO Haru has turned it into his private elevator?"

"Why could that be?"

"He always comes to work with his employees." Ame has heard enough and continued on her walk.

'Did Haru do that for me?' She thought. 'Nonsense. Why would he make such a fuss for me?' She shook her head.

'Aren't you afraid of being noticed?' She remembered what he said. 'That's...probably the case.' She thought as she sheepishly smiled to herself. When she was satisfied, seeing almost everything on the 7th floor. She went back to Haru's office, she was tired. She entered and flopped down on the couch, removing her heels and burying her face with a cushion.

"What's gotten into you?" He asked, not looking away from his computer.

"Nothing, just tired. Shouldn't have walked around in heels." She said.

"Let me see." He said as he stood up from his seat and walked up to her. He knelt down and grabbed her foot.

"They're swollen. Didn't you even feel the pain? What if you get blisters?" He said as he sat down beside her and massaged her feet.

"Hey, you don't need to. It's fine, it doesn't hurt at all." She said as she scrambled to sit up.

"Don't be silly, you have a shoot tomorrow. Aren't you even a little bit worried about that?" He said.

"Oh...Okay..." She said as she let him continue and watched as he massaged her feet. He was gentle. "Thanks." She said smiling sweetly.

"What for?" He asked.

"For taking care of me."

"I'm you husband, it's my job to take care of you."

Her heart pounded. Whenever she was with this man, she always felt safe. More than that, she always had a fuzzy feeling when he's around, like her heart was being tickled.

"Don't say that." She said as she covered her face.

"Why not?" He laughed.

"Just because." She looked at him again, his face was slowly turning red. He grabbed her skirt and fully covered it over her knees.

"Cover up, I can see your underwear." He said, then she realized why. She moved further from him and lowered her knees, she held the skirt in place. Her face was burning too.

"Well, doesn't matter. I'll see all of you when the time comes, right?" He said as he put her feet down on the couch and lied on top of her, he held her chin up to face him. She, was more than flustered! She froze, as her face burned even more.

She didn't know what to do. She wrapped an arm around his neck. Now this took him by surprise, he then leaned over to her...

"Sir, here are the documents you asked for... I--will take my leave, sorry for the interruption." Sam said as he hurriedly left and shut the door. Both of them looked at each other and burst out in laughter. Sam's reaction got them laughing and in tears, but of course it was kind of awkward.

"It's all your fault, why do you do things like this in your workplace?" She laughed as he pushed him of and tried to get up.

"Do you prefer doing things like these at home then?" He said as he pressed down on her. She looked away. He then pecked on her lips and immediately got up. She sat up and pushed him away from her. He couldn't help but laugh at the the way she was acting.

'How cute.'

...

It was time to go home, so Haru tidied up and prepared to leave. He called Sam to get the car ready. Ame was reading up on the latest trends on her phone when she received a call from GM.

"Hello."

"Hello, miss Tsubaki, good afternoon. I called to inform you of the time and location of the shoot. It'll be tomorrow at 5:00AM, at the Hillside Cathedral. Further details will be emailed to you. Thank you and have a good day."

"Thank you."

"Who was that?" He asked

"It was GM. They called to tell me about the shoot."

"Well, let's head home." He said.

In the car...

They were on their way home, then Ame remembered that she had to call Rika and talk to her about this.

"You got a project with GM? That's amazing for a starting point! I've already assigned someone to manage you. He's very experienced, I'm sure he won't let you down." Rika said.

"I trust you."

"Also, I there were two applicants who contacted me earlier. I conducted interviews for them based on the qualities from an assistant you'd like to get."

"And?"

"I found her. The right person to assist you. She'll start from tomorrow. I'll tell her to pick you up for your shoot."

Haru was leaning beside her, listening to their conversation. He then, took the phone away from her, she tried to grab it, but he stopped her. "Just tell her to meet my wife at the shoot, I want to send her over."

"Oh, well, okay Mr. Sasaki. How sweet of you. I'll tell her to meet Ame at the shoot."

"Good." He then handed the phone back to her. She glared at him as he smiled and shrugged.

"Hey Rika."

"How sweet of him. I wish my husband was like that. Anyway, as he said, your secretary will meet you there. Don't ask who she is, I want it to be a surprise."

"Got it, thank you. Goodbye."

"Do well in your shoot."

"I can do better than just "Well"."

"That's what I want to hear. Goodbye."

She hung up the phone and turned to him.

"What?" He asked.

"Why do you do these things for me?" She asked.

"Accompanying me, comforting me, taking care of me. The dress, the shoot. And the elevator, was that for me too?" She said.

"Because you're my wife." He said as he hugged her. She was taken aback and felt emotional. This man was did anything he could for her. He even took her feelings and convenience into consideration. It was too heartwarming. She's never felt this way, even with Yuan.

'How sweet indeed.' She smiled sweetly in his embrace.
