Sweetness overloaded

Valeria completely ignored both of them while eating. "She is funny, ain't she?" Markos tried to handle the things with his fake chuckle. Miss Agnes simply let him do everything and kept quiet. However, after Valeria was done eating she headed towards her room. Markos followed her and locked the door which snagged her attention. 

"What are you doing? Why have you locked the door?" Valeria inquired as she dropped her phone on the bed and got up. Somewhere deep down her senses alerted that Markos wasn't in the right state of mind. "Stop right there, Markos." Valeria warned him upon realising that he was probably drunk. Panic grew in her body with his staggering. 

"Why–don't you want me now?" Markos stumbled over his steps while approaching her. Valeria could see anger in his orbs as he reached for her face. Grabbing it, Markos stared at her intensely. "Or do you still miss your ex-husband?" She couldn't grasp why he was suddenly asking about him. Valeria came to know about his stalking too.

"What are you saying? Leave–leave me." Valeria pushed him away, unaware of the reason for his actions. "Why are you doing this? Come on, why are you drunk?" She got away from him but her eyes didn't leave his face. "Calm down, Markos. You are drunk." Valeria carefully approached him to help Markos to sit. 

"Why am I doing this? Are you seriously asking me this?" Markos sat on the bed but under the heavy effect he laid down. He pulled Valeria over his chest and traced his knuckles over her cheek. "You are the reason for my current state, Valeria. Couldn't you just admit—" Valeria anticipated his reply but Markos' arms fell on the bed. 

"Goodness! This man is now getting on my nerves." She smacked over his chest while Markos slightly groaned. Valeria crept away from him, raking through her hair and smacked her lips. "Can't he just stop acting like a jealous teen and be serious about anything. Heck, he has been spying on me." She groaned at his antics. 

The next morning Markos woke up with a headache, looking around he realised about not being in his own room. "Jeez! What happened yesterday?" Markos searched for her silently but upon finding the room empty he grew suspicious. "Where did this woman go? Did something happen last night?" He wasn't certain due to the alcohol effects. 

"Fuck! What nonsense have I spouted to her?" Mumbling to himself, Markos skidded to the side of the bed. Pressing his temples, getting up he was cursing himself for being pushy. Walking up to his own room, Markos heard his phone ringing. Picking up the call he came to know about the meet up with Castello Karman. 

Ending the call he slumped in the bed, sniffing her perfume. It was the moment Markos recalled something and shot up from the bed. Lunging towards his wardrobe he opened and saw everything in its own place. Except for one perfume bottle. "Fuck! No, no. She has seen this collection. Oh my goodness, now this woman will tease me."

Markos immediately grabbed his clothes and dashed towards the bathroom. He needed to talk to Valeria and clear the so-called misunderstanding which didn't exist in the first place. Meanwhile, on the other hand in the office Valeria smiled like a fool. Sitting on the swivelling chair, she cheerfully swayed. 

"He has every single perfume of my company. The first sample vials." Valeria couldn't believe that he had bought and kept the initial samples. She even spotted the beta testers of each brand which weren't even good. "Does he genuinely love me this much?" Valeria blushed hard while mumbling to herself. 

"No, no. How is this even possible?" Tapping her cheeks she remarked and her expressions turned serious. "He is doing all this to trick me into believing that he loves me. Why else would Markos keep them? Certainly not out of love." She was sure about his antics because things had been indicating and aiding it.

Shaking her head to dismiss the assumed perception she sighed heavily. Valeria moved when Suzy walked in and casually sat on the chair. "Good morning, girl." Valeria had intentionally allowed her to act carelessly like that so she could use her. Suzy was the ultimate gossiper of the company and easier prey to provide the inside information. 

Valeria responded to her sweet greeting when Suzy leaned in and whispered. "Boss has been invited to a party by mister Castello Karman. And he asked me to take you shopping because you are assisting him tonight." Suzy commented and winked at her, indicating that Markos wanted him there. 

"Interesting, isn't it?" Valeria chuckled while raising her eyebrow at Suzy. "Perhaps he is actually interested in me. Don't you think so?" She hinted at Suzy regarding his attention. Valeria aimed to convey that Markos was having an affair with her. However, she knew that there were plenty of bees around him, who were hard to flee off.

"Boss sure does like you. Tell me girl, what spell have you casted on him?" Suzy spoke in affirmation while being excited, she wanted to see more of the drama. Valeria chuckled and shrugged her shoulders. Suzy got up from the chair and gestured to her. "Now you better hurry up. We need to buy a breathtaking gown to surprise him." 

"Gotta look like a killer vixen." Valeria giggled and picked up her bag, the ladies headed out when Suzy rattled her pocket. "Here, boss asked me to give you this card." Suzy handed over a premium black card to her, with a meaningful grin. "You should shop generously today." The ladies approached the front glass door of the corp.

"Good afternoon, Miss Valeria. Boss has asked me to take you two ladies to the mall." His driver approached with a bow and showed the women the way. Valeria was impressed by the tiny gestures Markos had been displaying. However, she didn't want to be swayed without any official announcement and confession.
