Caspar's POV.
"Boss, why would you leave madam in the hospital suite?" Alex nagged as he walked back and forth in my office.
His fingers were tapping on his tablet as he awaited the call from Bella's secretary Maria. I rubbed my eyes because I was staring at my phone's screen from the moment I arrived at the company.
I was waiting for Bella's text. However, two hours have passed, and she has not sent a single text. I was anxious and wanted to ask Alex but I couldn't. I was the one who left her all alone in the hospital suite.
My stupidity knows no boundaries. When I woke up in the morning, I was happy to see Bella sleeping in my suite. Suddenly the memories of last night snapped in my head and I was reminded of my lowly behaviour.
How I scolded her for no reason, how I touched her feet and wanted to lick. I assumed she would be disgusted to see my face as soon as she opened her eyes. That's why I called Alex and quickly left, saving my dignity which was already lost.
She must be thinking that I hate her because she had a relationship with Theodore. Gosh, what should I do? I bit my lips in annoyance until it started bleeding.
Okay, I can't sit here doing nothing. Licking the blood from my lips I asked Alex to call Bella.
"Yes," Alex immediately answered and found Bella's number in his tab, and called her.
The first time no one answered.
The second time no one answered.
The third time no one answered.
Alex looked at me indirectly asking me if he should continue calling her or not. I clenched my jaws and coldly replied,"CONTINUE."
The fourth time.
The fifth time.
It wasn't until fifteenth time someone picked up the call. Before Alex would say anything. Bella's secretary, Maria's irritated voice rang out sharply, "What? Do you think my Lady will pick up the call just because you're her husband's assistant?"
"I-I never said–"
"Yes, you men never say anything clearly," Maria scowled, stopping Alex in the middle of his sentence. "Last night my Lady spent her night with your Boss. She stayed with him, and took care of him despite being tired from work but how did your boss return the favor?"
I could notice the panicked eyes of Alex, he was staring in my direction for help. I turned my face to the other side and pretended to be busy with my phone.
"How dare your Boss leave my Lady alone in the suite? Do you think she doesn't have a place to stay?"
"I-I'm really, really sorry for whatever my Boss did. Boss is willing to express his sorry about last night," Alex stuttered, his voice feeling weak and scared.
This was the first time I had seen him in this sorry state. I wonder what kind of woman Bella hired as her secretary. Don't tell me she's from the Mafia world? Otherwise, why would a sarcastic man like Alex tremble after hearing a woman's voice?
"My Lady wants to maintain a distance for a week until her head cools down. So please don't bother to call her otherwise I'll personally rip off your throat and cut your limbs and–"
"O-Okay, I got it..."
Alex quickly ended the call and looked ate with his pitiful eyes. It's not like I didn't hear all those words of Maria. I became curious and finally asked why Alex was so scared of Bella's secretary.
"Boss, s-she is Maria and the other secretary is Victor. They both are infamous assassins of the Mafia world who go by the codenames Maria and Victor."
Stroking my chin in thought I nodded. So they are assassins who didn't bother to hide their codenames. Which meant Bella hired them not for only office work but for other deeds too. I'm not against it because she needs some trusted capable people around her for protection. But...
"Alex, find out how Maria and Victor know Bella. Were they acquaintances of Bella or just old friends, "I ordered because I wanted to be sure.
The sudden appearance of Theodore had made me uneasy. He will definitely take revenge on me for beating him up.
However, that is a matter of the future now I'm done for good. Bella doesn't want to see me for a week.
"How will I sleep without her?" I groaned in remorse as I put my arms on my desk and buried my face.
TAP TAP
I could still hear the boots' footsteps. I lifted my face and saw Alex walking back and forth again. Feeling deeply irritated, I threw my pen at him and indifferently asked, "Why are you still in my office? LEAVE!"
Alex hesitated, I didn't understand why he was going as far as angering me. I clenched my fists, suppressing my rage and politely asked Alex to get out of my office.
"Boss, you have a meeting to attend. Today you have to interview the actors for the new drama series."
"Why am I supposed to do that? Isn't the managing director of KING's company overlooking this?" I inquired, getting serious.
Alex looked left and right, thinking of an excuse or a correct explanation to give me. Fuck it, I'll meet Bella on my way to KING's broadcasting company.
***
That's what I had planned but I ended up avoiding her again. I can't believe I'm embarrassed to face her. How can I? Boss of DarZ Mafia group is ashamed to meet his wife!
I want to become invisible. My thoughts were colliding with each other while I was wearing a cool, unbothered expression. I dashed inside the company and was welcomed by the employees and managing director.
I ignored greetings and formalities since I have always been like a cold-hearted Boss. I walked inside my office which was very large compared to my office in Mcadam Group's main company. Getting seated, I asked Alex to call the candidates one by one.
"Boss, won't you have anything to eat or drink? You haven't had breakfast and now it's lunch time!"
I glanced at Alex and scoffed," Do I look like a starved man?"
"No."
"Then don't ask me to eat. Bring me coffee!"
Alex brought the coffee and after a few minutes, the first candidate for 'Ancient Love of Gods' drama series entered inside.
She was redheaded and had beautiful light green eyes. Her physique was perfect with some muscles which are needed in the drama. Because the female lead is Phoenix and she had lots of fighting scenes.
"Ahem!" I realized I was staring at her a little too long. "Introduce yourself and read the given dialogue."
"I'm Nancy," she answered and recited the dialogue and left.
The second candidate came,
The third candidate came,
The fourth came and I got tired at the twentieth. Gritting my teeth, I pulled Alex by his collar and jolted him in annoyance, "How many more are left?"
