Taming Mr. CEO

Logan’s Point of View

“Why the hell did you do that, Logan?!” Alice asked, red color tinged her gorgeous face. “Do you think announcing our wedding to the public will make the situation better? You just made it worse, I can’t believe you.” She gritted her teeth and as much as I want to calm her down, I know, I couldn’t.

So, instead of arguing with her, I headed inside my office and leave her at her table. From my swivel chair, I could still feel her eyes shooting me, and guess what, when I glanced at her, she is throwing me her dagger. Which I don’t know if I am going to be scared about or just smile my ass off like an idiot because I really loved seeing that side of Alice. Gone the finest, the kindness. Just her boiling anger for me, conquering her face.

Smiling, I locked my eyes on my monitor and tried my best not to peek at her place again which I eventually did. After all, I’ve been used to controlling myself when it comes to Alice. After several hours of working on my monitor and this obnoxious bundle of papers on my desk, I speak from the monitor. I ordered Alice to come inside but after several minutes of waiting, she didn’t even move from her table which made me frown. Losing my patience, I stepped outside and threw him my cold stare which again, I already practiced.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Didn’t you hear your boss?” I asked.

She leered at me before twitching her side lip. “Have you forgotten what have you just announced earlier? You made sure that everyone will know who I am in your life. You told them that I am your wife so meaning, you can’t just order me like your ordinary employee before.” Her spicy words threw me off guard making me step back into my office a bit frustrated.

Leaving without choice, I called for food delivery as my stomach is already growling like a monster who didn’t eat for years. After calling the delivery, I called Lyndon-my jackass dude-to pick up the food outside. At first, he protests. Telling me lots of excuses like he is busy with his work but when I told him that it was Alice’s food, he immediately followed without any objection. A few moments have passed when I saw the first door open and right there, Lyndon entered with a bright smile on his face. My brows immediately knotted when I watch him from my desk-walking over Alice’s table which also has a smile on her damn lips.

She didn’t even smile at me that way. How unfair… she is so unfair. For f*cking sake, I am her husband yet she is smiling at the other guy.

After Lyndon leave the office, I was about to speak on the intercom to order Alice to bring the food to me when the door swung open. Giving me my wife in her usual grimace.

“I didn’t order foods, Logan,” she informed using her voice with a hint of irritation on it.

“I know,” I replied, leaving my seat as I walked into her. “It’s just Lyndon’s keeps on protesting when I asked him to get these foods. So, I have to use your name to make him follow.” I snatched the bags of food from her and held those in my single hand while the other is grabbing her elbow gently. And of course, being the stubborn wife, I felt how she protest but when I tightened my grip on her a little, she gave up until I fixed her on the couch.

“I am not hungry.”

I smirked. “Who told you that I am going to force you to eat?” Her nose flared while I, diverted my gaze in the foods in front of me while hiding my true reaction on her face.

Damn, I badly want to laugh at her reaction but I tried not to because who knows that I’ll instantly receive a slap from her?

Her soft palm on my face is still vivid on me and I definitely don’t want her palm to touch me again. Unless it would not be my handsome face she will be going to touch.

“Why are you grinning?” I was dragged back to my sense after hearing her voice, raising a question. “You looks like a pervert, Logan,” she added.

“I just thinking of something–”

“You mean someone… you’re thinking of someone whom you probably doing your nasty things. Gosh, I should have known you from the very start.” She rolled her eyes.

“You’re judging me, Alice and that’s bad. I am not thinking of someone else, I am thinking of you. I always think of you every day and night,” I confessed which made her silent and went rigid on her seat. That gave me a proud smirk especially when I saw her face flushed. “Huh, seems like a cat caught your tongue, baby,” I teased and before I could tease her even more, a pillow already hit my face before I found out that she is marching out of my office.

“Short-tempered, baby,” I mumbled alone before finishing my food.

When I already doing again my work, my phone suddenly rang, and got surprised upon seeing my Mom’s photo on the screen. Hesitant to answer, I still did. Already weaving my reason on what she will going to discuss. And just like what I am expected, as soon as I answered her call, she demand on seeing the wife I just announced earlier in the morning.

“For goodness’ sake, Logan… if it wasn’t because of a piece of news already spreading around, I wouldn’t know what is happening in your life. Wife? Since when did you get one and who is this unlucky girl?!”

“Mommy, calm down-”

“I won’t calm down unless you bring your rumored wife right now!” And just like that, Alice and I will have to visit my parents’ house.

***

Right after our office hours, I ended up deciding to bring Alice and Aisle with me to my parents’ house. As if I have another option. It was my Mom who mandated me to bring my wife to their house. But in this case, it wasn’t just my wife that I am going to bring with me. My child as well… I just hope they won’t throw me outside the house because of the surprise.

“Where are we going? This isn’t the way home?” Alice inquired with confusion written on her face.

“We’re going first to my friend before we go home,” I answered, driving to my friend who is the only person I know who will help me.

After several minutes of driving, we reached the boutique my friend owns. Confusion wrote on Alice’s face but she didn’t bother to ask any questions. When I offer my hand to her, she took it while wandering her eyes around.

“Logan, darling!” I almost cursed when Alice drastically pulled her hand clung to mine as soon as Joanna walked over to welcome us. “Oh my gosh, what brought you here? It’s been a while, darling.” Joanna leaned forward and shamelessly kiss me on my lips, right in front of Alice.

When I saw how my wife’s face contorted, I slightly pushed Joanna away from me. That’s when she was able to notice Alice, standing a few gaps from me.

“Oh gosh! Don’t tell me the humor are true? What the hell?! Is this for real?! Logan Ivanov is now tied into someone?” I saw how exaggeration registered on Joanna’s gorgeous face.

I know, she will be one of the lists who will be surprised knowing the truth. She’s part of my past, I could say that she is one of my girls before who aren’t that bossy. When we are still in the relationship, we are both aware that we are sort of using each other to quench our thirst in bed. The same reason why I didn’t avoid her and still considered her as my trusted friend.

“Fortunately, the humor is true. Joanna, meet Alice, my wife. Alice, this is Joanna, my–”

“His ex-girlfriend and I am not pleased to meet you.” Alice instantly slipped an awkward smile before looking me up. “Kidding! Of course, I am pleased to meet Logan’s gorgeous and sizzling wife. Now I know why Logan chooses you. You really got his favorite, Alice dear. And the boobs, Logan… the boobs!”

“Anyways, please help my wife choose an outfit for a family dinner. Dropped the chit-chat first, Joanna, we are in a hurry.” Twitching her lips, Joanna pulled Alice into the deep of her shop. And before I walked over to the couch, Alice threw me her questioning face.

Later, baby… later.

I chose to read some magazine settling on the glass table as I waited for Alice and Joanna. And thanks to God, after an hour of choosing, they finally appeared in front of me with their selection.

“I think the red one suits you, baby.” Joanna almost shriek beside Alice when I called my wife with my endearment.

“Love is in the air,” Joanna mumbled but still audible for me. “Anyways, the red one is picked by yours truly, darling. You know, I know what’s your preferences and I do think that will bring up Alice’s tempting look. Hot baby, perfect!” Joanna clapped her hands.

Before we left her boutique, she once again kissed me but this time, on my cheeks. She waved her goodbye before Alice and I hop inside my car. And as soon as I drive away, I glanced at Alice who was still quiet. Her arms were crossed against her chest which gives me a peek at her perfectly defined breast.

“Mom’s inviting us to their house. We just fetch Aisle at home then we are going–”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” she cuts, still eyeing the road. “I asked you earlier before we go to your woman’s shop but you didn’t give me an answer. Now, you are suddenly telling me that we are going to see your parents,” she complained.

“Mom called me unexpectedly and I chose not to tell you as early as possible because I know you will not agree. And can you please drop your thoughts of Joanna being my woman? She is not my woman.”

She chuckled. “Really, huh? So what about the kiss? Is that a friendly kiss? And oh, I almost forgot the endearment. Darling, huh… how sweet?” sarcasm coated her words but instead of answering her and explaining my side, I choose to drive fast so we can get into my parents’ house.

Like what I have said, we only fetch Aisle at home and then head to my parents’ house. Alice didn’t talk to me anymore for the whole ride, she was so silent and every time I will talk to her, she will just ignore me like I didn’t exist. Thanks to Aisle that’s lessening the tension for the whole ride. When we finally reach the destination, I hold Alice’s hand and clung it to mine while Aisle is on my other arm.

“Where are we, Daddy?” she innocently asked while we are walking through the hallway with two maids in front of us. “New house, Daddy?”

“No, baby. We are in Grandma and Grandpa’s house. They wanted to see you that is why we are here. Are you excited to meet them?” Aisle didn’t hesitate to nod her head while Alice tightened her hand on mine.

“Calm down, baby. They won’t eat you,” I reminded but she just leers at me which made me smirk.

“Logan, son!” As soon as we entered the dining area, Mom’s voice boomed around making Alice tighten her grip on me again. “Oh my God! Lyndon was right, you really are my son’s wife, Alice. My God! I’m so blessed and who’s this kid? Is she your–”

“Our child. Aisle, say hello to Grandma.”

“Hello, Grandma!” Aisle cheerfully greets my mom.

“Oh my God! Look, William… look at her! She really looks like our son. Thank you for giving her as our grandchild, Alice. Thank you.”

Alice awkwardly smiled but didn’t let out a word.

“I told you, they won’t bite you,” I whispered, leaning close to her ears.
