She looked somehow sad,or should I say cold.I glanced at the men with her then back to her, what does she mean by talking to me in private, no way, I am so scared for my life.
“Sorry ma’am but if you want to say anything, do it here, I am very busy”I replied and continued my work.
There was long silence between us before she finally nodded and replied.
“Okay, I… came to apologise for slapping you the other day, it was stup!d and very arrogant of me to treat you like a servant”.
I smiled awkwardly knowing that everyone in the department heard it, I could see the shock on their faces about Noona apologising to me so politely but really what is she up to.
She continued.
“I shouldn’t have gone that far, Prince is your husb….”
I quickly covered her mouth.
“I think we should talk somewhere else “j whispered.
She was shocked at first, then nodded at me,I led her into the restroom while other colleagues stared like owls without even blinking an eye till I shut the door.
“I am sorry I had to cover your mouth like that, it’s just that I don’t want my colleagues to know yet, they already know you as his girlfriend days ago and announcing it suddenly will make me look like a bitch”.
She went mute for a few seconds then replied gently.
“I understand but still who cares what they think about you, you got to stop being naive and trying to make yourself feel inferior to them”.
I was surprised that such wise words could come out from Noona’s lips.
“When I was younger I was consistently abused for being the teachers favourite, not that I am a smart kid but my beauty was adored by many. So the bigger kids abuse me at any slightest opportunity until I learn to be confident and know how to use the power I hold, beauty, money power, they all work together”.
I was beyond shocked, that explains why she acts so cold but never really a stone hearted.
“Anyway I will be going back to the states for permission to see Prince one more time?”
I swallowed hard.
“Yes you can, you don’t need my permission actually”.
She nodded and turned to leave the restroom.
“Noona”.
She stopped and looked at me curiously.
**VAL’S POV**
“Can we go out sometime before you leave the country? Like this evening?”
She nodded slowly and I smiled back, as soon as the door shut I sighed holding my chest.
I thought she would stab me with that cold treatment of hers.
I walked back to my desk but things weren’t as they’re when I left.
Everyone was staring at me like I was some kind of show to watch.
I looked at my back to be sure I was the one that they were looking at.
“Is there anything wrong?”I asked, confused .
“You are married?”
Abigail snapped.
“What?”
“You are married to Sir Prince?”
She snapped again.
“What?”I chuckled awkwardly.
“Don’t lie to us girl, we saw your profile changed to married and Noona mentioned it before you two got into the restroom ”.
“I don’t remember changing my profile, can you all stop it, I am not married”.
“Hey baby!”
I froze at that name, with my eyes widened at the voice behind it.
The announcement speaker again! What the hell is wrong with Prince!
“You are needed in my office, Angel”.
Just then screams and shouts filled the department room,congratulatory hugs came from all sides, I was too stunned to move a limb.
I never thought I would receive such kindness from my colleagues. I glanced over towards Jennifer and Kamsy. Both of them were seated staring at the others hugging me without making a move for me.
I forced a smile and thanked them for the good wishes, then I went into the office and found Noona sitting at the visitor’s chair while Prince was still holding the mic to his mouth . He smiled at the sight of me, and continued to annoy me more.
“Just as y’all know, Mrs Valerie is my wife and I am intrigued by her, every minute…I lo…”
I took the mic from him, causing it to stop talking.
“I thought we have discussed this? Don’t use the announcement speaker to call me!”
I snapped at him.
“What’s the problem, can’t I just tell the world who my wife is?”he smiled.
“It’s true,he needs to make announcements, because you are really too short for them to notice,”Noona added.
We both turned at her like predators about to devour prey.
“Noona!”Prince yelled.
“I thought you’ve repented”I cried out.
She smiled lazily and stood up, I was glad that made her smile a bit her cold face is scary.
“You are the boss’s wife now, why not take a day off work at this moment”.
She said to me.
Prince raised a finger.“Noona I called her for a personal reason…”
“Actually she is right baby, I will be back, I always wanted a day off work, and you are my husband so it’s an advantage”.
I kissed his lips and walked out of the office.
Noona followed behind.
I got to my department to pick my bag, put on my wedding ring, then I smiled at Kamsy with my eyes in a sassy way,then waved with my ring hand.
I couldn't help it, she looked like she was having some serious shock of her life and I was enjoying it.
