My Last Wedding Chance
Chapter 16 The New Routine
"Jonah, what's up ?" I ask who looks surprised
"Mrs. Harumi sorry to bother you, I want to ask for help, I want to order a bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day later, Red Rose Bouquets"
"Red roses ? waaah, do you want to declare love, Jonah ?"
I smiled at Jonah's request, even though I just pretended not to know it. But I'm sure the wreath was for Beatrix.
"Yes Mrs. Harumi, I beg you for help. I'm sorry I have to go back to the store right away, because dad is out so I have to hurry back." Jonah, who looked timid, began to fidget because he was afraid of the presence of Beatrix who could come back suddenly.
"Okay Jonah, I'll make you the best order"
"Thank Mrs. Harumi" said Jonah who rushed back to his Cake Shop.
I resumed the work that was delayed due to Jonah's presence.
Before long, I heard a ringing call from my phone. It was an incoming call from Anton.
I was surprised to stare at my phone screen, because Anton doesn't usually call me during his working hours. I also started to have bad prejudices.
"Hallo?" answer me
"Rumi, I need your help"
"Help ?"
Anton did not beat around the bush, he immediately proposed the purpose of his conversation.
"Sir Liam Seymour, you remember that name. He's the CEO of my company, I want you to help him. He was looking for people who are experts in the field of Flower plants to care for the flowers in his new home. At least we should make a good impression on him." Anton explained
I cannot comment on my husband's request. I just kept quiet, and remembered Liam's talk this morning. He really kept his word.
"But Anton, I already have quite a lot of work in the Shop. How could I possibly help her ?" I started looking for reasons to resist Liam's will.
"Only once a week do you come to his house, is it heavy for you ? I just want us to be looked upon well by Mr. Liam, this is very important for the future of my career in the company. Do you understand Rumi ? "
I still do not think with the way my husband thinks, how selfish he is. For his own sake he doesn't even care about my condition anymore. Hearing Anton's way of speaking like this was not as my husband but as my boss.
"Yes I understand, All right. I'll work on it."
"OKs. See you at home" Anton ended our conversation.
My heart started to hurt again, hearing all my husband said. He didn't say harsh words, but I don't know why I feel so sad.
The marriage I hoped to have was happy and we loved each other the more I felt this marriage was just like an empty shell.
I'm trying to give a chance not for me or for Anton, but a chance for our marriage. Even I'm afraid that someday this marriage opportunity will be over.
In Liam's Car
"Mr Liam, in 30 minutes we will have a Virtual Meeting with some of the shareholders of Seymour Shipping International Company. About...." Report Secretary Will
"Wait, delay two hours." cut Liam
"Alright Mr. Liam, I'll rearrange. After this you want to do what ?"
Liam, who was sitting down, started leaning his body and looking towards the car window. His mind seemed distracted, he just imagined Harumi's face. He began to impatiently wait for Harumi to contact him.
It is true, the ringing of Liam's mobile phone also reads. There's an incoming call from Harumi. Looking at the mobile screen alone, Liam has started to smile himself.
"Hallo" replied coldly Liam who seemed not to want Harumi to know that he was very enthusiastic.
"Hallo Liam, are you busy ?"
"No, why ?"
"I received word from my husband, according to your wishes he allowed me to work for you. But Liam, I feel uncomfortable with all this. "
"why do you feel uncomfortable, isn't this just like someone who would recruit you to work a monthly salary. Is there something wrong, what kind of job I'm offering you badly ?"
Hearing Liam's reply, I just fell silent. Everything he said was true, he had no other meaning. I was just worried, because I felt like there was something between us.
"All right, I'll take it. But for when I start there, I'll decide. Because I had to adjust to my work in the Shop. "
"Okay, deal! I'm glad to hear your decision Rumi. Let me know if you want to start, I'll have Taylor pick you up."
"No need Liam, I can go alone with uber or taxi. I'm not a kid to pick up, I remember the path anyway."
"I don't want you to go alone, I'm forcing you now. Don't argue, Taylor's ready to pick you up." Liam started to be protective of me.
"Alright, I'll call you back." I ended our conversation.
Secretary Will, who was sitting next to the driver, could only listen to the talk of his master.
"Mr Liam, I'm sorry if I'm so presumptuous, may I ask you one thing ?" carefully the middle-aged Secretary spoke to Liam.
"By Mr. Will, I never forbid you from asking me anything. You've worked for me for a long time, even before you've served my father. So I've taken it like family."
"I've just seen you so happy, even all day I've noticed you smile more. Do you have any special feelings for Miss Harumi ? excuse me if my question is too personal."
Liam sighed, before answering his secretary's question. He knew the meaning of the question, sooner or later he would have to clarify it.
"Let's see, I'm actually confused myself. At first I just wanted to have fun, but the more I came here like I didn't want to get away from it. I want to have it. I have it all."
"But whether Mister can't consider it anymore, Mr. Liam already knows the status of the married Miss Harumi, let alone her husband being a subordinate of the Master himself. I'm just thinking of being the one who's been with you for a long time."
"I want to separate them, I want them to get a divorce. I can't stand the thought of Harumi being home, even going to bed with Anton." Liam replied, unable to contain his emotions, he was very jealous of Anton.
Hearing Liam's reply, Will's secretary just kept silent and made no further comment. He understood very well what his master meant. While accompanying Liam, he never saw her so happy.
It was easy for Liam to find Women as his Life companion, many women were even willing to sacrifice for him.
But Liam actually chose Harumi a simple woman, not from the upper class, who was even a woman who had a husband to fight for.
Liam himself also knows, there will be many risks, obstacles and big problems that will be faced in order to have Harumi in his life.
