A CEO's Revenge Marriage Accidentally in Love

My courage grows, and I start moving my head and shaking my hips on top of the chair. I’m

still singing

and striking poses. I even roll my shoulders while dancing; anything to get attention!

By now, Samantha is staring at me, and her jaw is slacking to the floor. She is such a bore!

The other people in the waiting room are whistling and encouraging me to keep singing!

“IT’S RAINING MEN!” I’m practically screaming that sentence when the doors to the elevator

open behind me, and Tobias walks out, wide-eyed and confused.

“Hannah?!” Tobias barks. “What are you doing?!”

Shit.

I turn around, smiling nervously. “Hi… husband… how was your day?”

I expect Tobias to raise his voice at me, but he simply lifts his eyebrows to look me up and

down with judging eyes. “You holding concerts in my waiting rooms now?”

“Ehh…” I grimace. “I can explain?”

Now he looks amused. “Uh-huh?”

“Your assistant wouldn’t let me see you…”

He walks to stand directly in front of the chair. We are closer in height now, and his lips curl

by the corners before he speaks. “So you decided to rock it out like Adele to make her beg

you to stop?”

I nod.

Tobias snorts and wraps his arms around me. “Let me get you down from there, so you

don’t hurt yourself.

He lifts me down, and I get a whiff of his cologne. Dang, he smells good, but my joyride is

soon over.

Tobias places me down on the floor and then lifts his eyes to someone holding up their

phone. He smiles. “Did you happen to record that?”

The stranger nods.

Tobias stifles a laugh. “Mind sending it to me?

“W-what are you going to do with the recording?” I ask.

He gives me a wicked grin. “Isn’t it obvious? Watch it whenever I’m having a bad day.”

What he is saying is terrible, and I gasp in shock. But then Tobias cracks up, and the sound

of his laughter. is too much for my vagina and ovaries, especially with his rolled-up sleeves.

Drool…

I don’t know why I’m suddenly such a horndog, but I suspect it’s related to having lost my

virginity to Tobias.

“Since you’re making fun of me, I don’t know if you deserve these.” I hold up the container

with cupcakes. There is blue cream cheese frosting on them, and I see Tobias’s eyes lit up.

“You really baked cupcakes?” He sounds excited. “For me?”

I hold the Tupperware container out of reach. “Well, it was but-”

Before I can react, Tobias easily takes the cupcakes from my hands and holds them out of

reach. I can’t reach the Tupperware container, and he opens it with sparkling eyes.

“These look amazing.” Tobias takes a bite, and the ice thaws around his face and heart. I kid

you not; he looks like a child on Christmas day and beams down at me, entirely out of

character. “These are so tasty!

Did you bake them yourself?”

“I did.” I say shyly, basking in the knowledge that Tobias thinks I’m a skilled baker, if I’m to

judge by the hearts and the diamonds in his emerald eyes.

Tobias smiles and bends down to place a kiss on my cheek. It’s quick but sweet and leaves

me a gooey mess after it’s over. I peer up at him, and his smile is warm.

“Thank you for coming here today. This-” Tobias taps the container with the nail of his

finger. “Made my day.”

“I’m glad.”

We stare at each other and smile like idiots. No one is making a move until Samantha clears

her throat behind us.

“Excuse me, Mr. Ford, but you have a meeting with the board members in thirty minutes.”

“Yes, I haven’t forgotten about that rescheduled meeting…” Tobias sighs. “Well, I better get

going. Was there anything else?”

Is it just me, or does he look hopeful? Or is that just wishful thinking?

“No, I just came to give you your share of the cupcakes. I will be heading out to meet one of

my friends. for a coffee, and then we have plans. We are cleaning a friend’s apartment

today.”

“Oh,” Tobias has a weird gleam in his eye. “This friend of yours that you’re meeting for

coffee… is it a male or a female?”

Why does he care? “A female,” I say. “Her name is Caroline.”

His shoulders immediately turn less tense. “Great. Tell your friend I said hi, and have a

wonderful day.”

“You too!”

We part ways. Tobias enters the elevator to the left, and I step into the right one with a

bright smile. I’m in an excellent mood until the doors close, and I realize I’m not alone.

Sarah is standing behind me. She wears a tight dress which emphasizes her skinny frame.

High heels. make her much taller than me, and her lips look glossy and fabulous. The

woman is gorgeous, I have to admit.

And hopefully, she will ignore me…

Sadly, there is no such luck.

Sarah steps forward once our eyes meet in the mirrors on the walls. I shudder, but I’m the

only one uncomfortable with this situation.

“Hannah!” Sarah exclaims my name in such an enthusiastic tone you could think we were

best friends. How are you?”

“Hi…” I plaster a smile onto my lips. “I don’t believe you and I have been introduced to each

other-”

“Oh, please. Cut the bullshit. You know who I am,” Sarah snorts, and I’m flabbergasted by

the change in her personality. With a hand on my shoulder, she looks me up and down like a

cat. “So this is who my husband married. How is he, by the way? Does Tobias still put his job

before his wife? Do you ever get time to fuck each other?”

What the flipping fuck?

How can she just ask me that?!

My face burns, and I furrow my eyebrows. “I-I’m sorry, but that’s a rather p-personal

question.” And not something I would ever share with Tobias’s ex-wife.

“I suppose it is,” Sarah shrugs nonchalantly. “Anyway, don’t get too used to sharing a bed

with Tobias.” She is stepping out of the elevator now and winks at me. “I’m planning on

winning him back. Ciao.”

Ciao?

I stare at Sarah’s brown, glossy hair and how she sashays forward before the door closes

and continues. taking me to the first floor.

What the heck was that?
