Chapter 64

Was it because he was so sexy? No wake-up Triffany! She shouted in her head.



“Come lay down here.” Carlos's voice pulled her from her thought.



“I will use the couch.” She said softly without glancing at him.



Carlos sat up on the bed, his smiles gone, only seriousness in his tone. “I told you before, your hand is injured so use the bed for now.” He paused.



“Come over and take off those nasty imaginations out of your head.” His final words made Triffany sit up.



“What imaginations?” She said without hesitation. “I'm not thinking anything.”



Carlos smiled, even if she said otherwise, her reaction had already given her away. “Come and lay here.” He pats the bed with his hand gently.



Triffany had no choice but to do as told, if she chose to stay on the couch she would be admitting to the nasty imagination he said.



She looks at him. “But, why are you not wearing your shirt?” She asked.



“It's none of your business.” He looked her all over. “Take off your nightwear if you please.”



Triffany pressed her lips together as she was rendered speechless. “Just sleep.” She managed to say before lay on the bed, next to him.



She could feel her heart thumping, she faced away from him, but her heart was still racing. “It's really hot in here.” She muttered.



“The A/c is on.” He lay down, looked at her back that was turned on him and smile.



She faced him and their eyes met. “Really?” She swallowed hard. “Then why is it so hot?” Her face was red because of the heat she felt just staring at him. How did she not notice that this man was this sexy?



Carlos looked at her face, he could see the blush on her cheek. “You need ice.” His eyes stare down at her lips.



“Stop teasing me.” She immediately turned her back at him, shutting her eyes close, repeating in her head that he was her husband, he was her husband.



Triffany woke up the next morning to see herself so close to Carlos bare skin, she looked at his chest and blushed.



She looked up to his face and muttered. “He's so handsome when he's asleep.”



She looked at his closed eyes, she notices his long lashes and his pink thin lips. “I got married to a rich, handsome man with one disadvantage.” She curled her lips. “He doesn't love me.”



She looked at his chest and then his tight muscles. She touched it lightly and blush. This was the first time she had touched him, and she was glad he was asleep.



She realizes that she had fallen in love with him, even when he hurts her. Her mood changed just by thinking about him not loving her.



She gently pulls away from his embrace and left the bed. She took her bath and brush her teeth.



After getting dressed she took one more glance at him before leaving the room with her laptop.



Carlos woke up the next and did not find Triffany in the room. He smiled when he remembered how she ogles at him yesterday.



"She must have found me sexy.” He smiles to himself that he was trying hard.



He got up and checked his muscles out in the mirror with smiles on his lips. His phone rang and he picked up after hesitating. “Hello, Phillip.”



“Sir, there is an emergency,” Philip said with panic in his voice.



“On what?” Carlos was his normal calm self, he was a person who can never feel the pressure even when things go west.



“The directors you ought to meet yesterday wants to cancel the proposals for the new site since you are not willing to meet them.” Philip gave him the update.



“Set an immediate meeting with them. I'm going to be there in the next fifty minutes.” He hung up and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower.



Triffany came into the room to see him dressed in his well-tailored navy suit and tie. She sat down on the couch still with her laptop.



He puts some files into his briefcase and called Shanne. “Shanne prepares to leave, I'm coming down now.”



“Okay, sir.”



Carlos hung up, puts his phone into his pocket, with one glance at Triffany who looked down immediately he left the room.



Triffany closed her laptop, her face fell, he was in such a hurry that he didn't even acknowledge her.



Now to him, she doesn't even exist, last night meant nothing to him. She got up and walked to the balcony, there she saw Carlos car drive out from the main gate.



“It's so clear, I don't mean anything to him. He doesn't love me.” She muttered.



...



Carlos solved the problem at work and retired to his office with Philip as they go through some file.



“Sir this was brought in yesterday.” Philip puts a document on his desk. “It needs your signature for approval.”



Carlos went through the file. “Check the database for a clear view, then report back to me.” He stamped it for review and hands it over to Philip.



“Okay, sir.” Carlos continues signing other documents. “Sir I checked on the site, and they are improving, but need more funds for the project,” Philip informs him.



Carlos looked up with a slight frown. “This year budget was already determined. Go through their expense list and confirm if it corresponds, then gets back to me.”



“Okay, sir.” Philip left the office as Carlos called in his secretary.



“Where is the report on Chixobest company?” He asked with his business tone.



“Here sir.” Felicity who already know what his request would be had brought it along with her.



Carlos checked them and then lifts his eyes from the file. “Is this all?”



“Yes sir, also there is a new intern, who they are yet to determine.”



Carlos leans back on his chair, he knew he has heard of this company before from someone. “Run a full list of their workers and if they are reliable to invest in.”



“Sir, yes,” Felicity spoke with courage. “Honestly, two companies have invested in them so far, before they came to you for the proposal.”



“How was the investment with the other companies?”



“It ended well, and they fulfil their bargain.”



Carlos exhaled softly after a few minutes of consideration. “Okay. I will sign the contract. Inform Elvis Daniel's and set a meeting date next week. He should also provide me with the names of the pair I will work with.”



“Okay, sir.” Carlos hands over the file back to her.



“What is my next schedule?” He asked, it was already late noon. Today had been a really busy day for him as he rubs his forehead.



“That's all for today, the board meeting was rescheduled due to the absence of Director Vincent.” Felicity reminded him.



“Okay. Let me know ahead of time when the meeting will hold.” Carlos puts down his pen.



“Yes sir.”



“If that's all, I will check out now. Tell Shanne to prepare to leave.”



“Okay, sir.” Felicity left the office.



“This long day is over already.” He stood up and picked up his coat to leave.
