It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!
Chapter 176: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!Chapter 176: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!
Hailee had finished meeting Ian and Zia an hour ago and they had chatted about many things. Although there were several topics, most of were centered upon Ramon.
And, they had to talk in either a low voice or whispers, but Hailee really enjoyed the time with the two people who were always closest to her.
However, when she returned to Ramon's office and found the man still not finished with his work, Hailee decided to wait for him. Ignoring Danny's words, who said that she could go home first and rest, because it seemed that this meeting would end late at night.
Hailee was worried about Ramon's health and she would not leave until she made sure that her husband was eating and taking his medicines properly.
The memory of Ramon suddenly falling ill and having to be treated a few days before their wedding, left Hailee rather uneasy.
She would never wish for that to happen again for the second time.
Of course, she didn't want something like that to happen again, but it seemed like Ramon couldn't be bothered for now…
Meanwhile, from behind the mirror where he was listening to the meeting that was happening, Ramon could feel Hailee's intense gaze, looking at him.
Instinctively, Ramon turned his head to find his wife who was pursing her lips and frowning. An expression that clearly showed that she didn't like what Ramon was doing at the moment, and the man knew what the problem was.
Then, Ramon found Hailee moving her lips, forming a sentence, which he could easily understand.
'When are you going to finish?'
Hailee asked through the glass, where she was waiting, to which Ramon replied with a simple word; soon.
This time Hailee folded her arms, showing that her level of annoyance at Ramon neglecting his health had increased once again.
However, somehow this made Ramon happy. There had never been anyone who worried about his health like Hailee, because usually Ramon always looked good at any given opportunity.
Then on purpose, Ramon took his eyes off Hailee and refocused on the presentation from his marketing team leader, blatantly neglected her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was just that, what Ramon didn't expect was Hailee's reaction after she was ignored...
"Mrs. Tordoff, are you going home?" Danny asked in confusion when he saw Hailee step back. "I will ask someone to drive you home."
"No, I don't want to go home," Hailee said in a voice that sounded very calm, the exact opposite of what she would be doing in a moment. "I will just make sure that Ramon stops neglecting me and his health."
Danny tilted his head not understanding what Hailee was saying, even more so when he saw Hailee pick up the bento box which contained Ramon's food that had turned cold from being untouched.
The personal assistant's gaze continued to follow Hailee in confusion when he saw his boss's wife put the bento box into the microwave and warm the food.
"Are you hungry Mrs. Tordoff? I can get someone to buy you a meal," Danny offered.
However, Hailee shook her head. "This is for Ramon, not for me." Yes, because if Hailee had to wait for more food to come, it would take a lot more time for the food to be served, while Hailee wanted Ramon to eat right away.
After all, there is nothing wrong with this food...
And after two minutes, there was a soft, familiar beep from the microwave and the food inside turned warm, ready to eat.
"I will tell Mr. Tordoff when the food is ready, maybe he will postpone the meeting for a while." Danny came back to suggest an idea which Hailee rejected again.
Danny knew Ramon's condition, therefore, he also agreed that this stubborn man was pushing himself too much to work.
But, what he didn't expect was what Hailee would do after this.
"No need, he can continue the meeting while eating," Hailee said casually and walked toward the conference room, without waiting for Danny and giving him an opportunity to digest her words.
Therefore, not long after, Hailee was standing in front of the meeting room door.
The girl took a deep breath and let go of the slight nervousness she felt about what kind of action she was going to take this time.
And with one soft knock on the door, which informed Ramon of her arrival, Hailee then opened the door to the meeting room and immediately became the main focus of the eleven important people who were sitting around a long table which was quite large, with Ramon sitting at the far end.
Once again, Hailee exhaled slowly to calm her nerves before a sweet smile curled on her lips.
"Don't bother about me," Hailee was quite satisfied because her voice didn't tremble and sounded very calm like she wanted, as she continued with her next sentence. "I just wanted to make sure that Mr. Tordoff did not neglect his health. Maybe some of you don't know this yet, but Mr. Tordoff is under close surveillance following the accident he experienced a few months ago."
Not only were the eleven people in the room quite surprised by Hailee's actions, but Ramon also didn't expect that Hailee would take action to this extent. They were more surprised by Hailee's courage to come into the room than by her words.
After leaving almost everyone in the room dumbfounded, Hailee casually strolled into the conference roon and took a seat beside Ramon.
From the gaze Ramon gave her, it could be seen clearly that the man was just as surprised as the people in the room, even though his facial expression was normal, but his gaze seemed to be hinting a question; what are you doing here?
Hailee then took a comfortable sitting position, before bringing a spoonful of food closer to Ramon's lips, which made the people gasp again.
Then with a defiant expression, Hailee looked at Ramon, with her big bright eyes as if she were saying; this is the result if you ignore me!
There was a slight threat there...
Well, the worst case scenario would be for Ramon to throw her out of the place, which would embarrass Hailee, but at least if that happened, then she would…
Ha!
Ramon opened his mouth and ate the food that was fed to him, making Hailee's fierce gaze soften and she smiled happily…
Okay, at least Ramon wouldn't embarrass herself by refusing her 'service' and it seemed that her husband was quite enjoying the attention Hailee was giving to him now, though what she did now was quite unusual and could be said rather embarrassing.
Therefore, before giving the second bite, Hailee turned her attention to the people who were stunned after they saw the interaction between the two of them.
"Very well, you can continue this meeting, I will not interfere." Hailee waved her hand casually to the other people. "Let's just pretend that I am not here..."
Impossible!
How could they think that Hailee wasn't there?! When their big boss looked so tame in the hands of a woman. What a very unusual thing. It was a rare sight, which they would not see every day, or maybe even this would be the last time they saw all of this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow unbelievable!
It turned out that even someone like Ramon Tordoff would surrender, bend his knees and become an unusual self in front of the woman he loves.
And this also proves that their marriage is not just a convenience marriage, as rumored out there...
"Please continue," said Hailee again when they still couldn't escape from their shock. "I will just make sure that Ramon has dinner and takes the medicine."
Hailee didn't feel guilty and after all, from what she had been observing since an hour ago, Ramon didn't say anything during the meeting. He paid more attention and examined silently what was being said, so it didn't hurt if Hailee was there... Right?
After all, this was an internal meeting and Danny had already said that Ramon would only listen to their monthly reports.
A meeting that Ramon once mentioned as one of the boring meetings...
"Mr. Tordoff doesn't like peppers," said one of the executive staff in the room, which made Hailee turn her head to look at her.
It was a woman with short shoulder- length hair with a round face and sitting two chairs left to Ramon's right.
Hailee's eyes immediately caught a glimpse of the woman's displeased gaze, which the latter then covered with a small cough.
"I am Sorry Mrs. Tordoff, I am Lucy Warmor from the Finance section of this company." The woman named Lucy introduced herself, giving Hailee her sweetest smile, which didn't even reach her eyes.
Maybe this was a woman's instinct and intuition, but Hailee could feel Lucy's dislike for her.
"Maybe, Mrs. Tordoff didn't know yet that Mr. Tordoff doesn't like peppers," added Lucy, staring at Hailee with mocking eyes, because as his wife, she didn't even know this little thing.
On the other hand, Hailee gave Ramon a sharp gaze, which seemed to ask; So, apart from Giana, Lucy is a new insect that she must get rid of?
Seriously?!
Why Hailee had to face such situation again and again? Wasn't Giana already enough?
Anyway, if Hailee could handle even Giana, then she could get rid of this Lucy too!
"Oh, you may not know it, but now Mr. Tordoff loves it, because it is my favorite," Hailee said calmly and took another slice of pepper and brought the spoon to Ramon's mouth. "Right?"
Ramon: "!?!?"
What is this situation now…
