Master's Untamed Wife

*Ding-Dong!*

Hearing the sound of the doorbell, Cloe was frustrated. She went to open the door with her hair wrapped in a towel. Even after an hour of rummaging through her closet, she didn't find that perfect outfit for the blind date. How would she be able to do so?

All her clothes were work clothes. She hadn't gone on dates for years, why would she spend money on those dresses?

As she opened the door, she was surprised to see that the man standing outside the door was actually one of Raelle's security team. She really didn't expect to see this person here. And while she was lost in thought, he extended a rectangular box towards her.

Cloe raised her brow at him.

"Missy asked to deliver this to you," he told her.

"Chief asked you to give this to me?" she asked again to confirm it.

"Yes," he answered to her truthfully.

"Why?" she asked.

"I don't know that," he again truthfully stated.

"Oh-okay," she said. "Thank you!"

He gave her a nod and turned to leave. Cloe closed the door and went inside with that box in her hand. As she opened it, she was stunned to see the content inside it.

There laid the perfect outfit for her date. A black long-sleeved top, a denim wrap pencil midi. There was even a note that read: 'Black is always safe. It can never go wrong for a date.' Cloe chuckled when she read that and continued to read further: 'Wear your black cowboy boots with this and don't forget a black bag. As for accessories, I won't comment.'

Cloe held this note and continued to look at the outfit that wasn't over the top but also wasn't that casual. It was actually quite comfortable for a blind date. As always, her Chief's fashion choices could never go wrong. No way!

Cloe had to give this credit to Raelle since from the time he had met Raelle, he had only seen Raelle as a fashion icon. And today, this fashion icon of hers actually came to her rescue once again.

Cloe bit the inside of her lip as she fell into deep thought. How was it that someone like Raelle Xiang always came to save her like a knight in shining armor? It was truly amazing.

She knew not everyone was fortunate enough to get a thoughtful boss like Raelle. She was truly lucky in this aspect.

With a nod, she went to get ready for her date. She wore the outfit sent by Raelle, she spent a while finding her cowboy boots but finally managed to do so. Even she had forgotten that she had these boots but Raelle's impeccable memory would really not forget it that easily. She chose a simple pendant and earring to match with her outfit, curled her dark blonde hair, and took a black bag.

Looking at her own reflection, she had to say that she looked gorgeous. The blacktop had a wide neckline which allowed one to see her beautiful collar bones. She took her phone and found a message from Hyson that read: [Yo, my beautiful fan! I heard you're going on a blind date today. Dress up and slay it! Whether you like him or not, don't forget to slay. If you like him, show him your perfect side. If you don't end up liking him, show him your even better side. After all, you need to show him what he can't have!]

Cloe put her hand over her mouth and burst out laughing when she read it.

"I can't believe I am a fan of this young man!" she said to herself while shaking her head.

She took a mirror selfie and sent it to Hyson asking, "You think I'm ready to slay?"

Hyson didn't reply immediately. In fact, she had just locked the door of her apartment and stepped out when she received a reply from him which read: [Go, get it, tiger!]

As she was staring at that message, he sent another one, [I meant, get it, tigress! I mixed up the gender earlier!]

"With you cheering for me like this, I'm definitely gonna get it!" she replied to him.

[That's the spirit!] He replied.

Cloe shook her head and got into her car. She tapped the steering wheel in trepidation. She patted her own cheeks and reminded herself, "It's just a date. Why the hell are you so nervous? You meet men every single day. How is this one gonna be any different? It's not like he can eat me! Get it together!"

She had yet to step on the accelerator when her phone rang. She looked at the caller id and scowled. She was actually in a good mood today. Even if she was nervous, it was a good kind of nervous like she was expecting to enter a new chapter of her life. She was looking forward to it. But this phone call really made her smile disappear.

The call was from her mother and she knew if she picked up this call, she'd definitely not be going on a date anymore since she'd be too depressed to do anything. It was always the same pattern. She held up her phone and contemplated. Looking at her dress that her boss sent her specifically for this date, she hung up the call and muted the phone before getting on the road.

She didn't want to give up on her future just because her past was holding her back. Didn't her mother always remind her how her younger sister had already built a family and yet she was an old single hag? Well, then it was time for this old hag to move on.

"My future, here I come," she muttered to herself and played music to dispel the silence in the car that might pull her in the whirlpool of thoughts.. She didn't wish to go down that road for now, it was time to change her route.
