BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106 Girls Night Out With Owen
Tossing the card in the garbage, Andrew instructed, "Throw the flowers in the trash
"Should I tell madam about it?" Ben inquired.
"I\'ll tell her."
...
[Inside Andrew\'s office]
When Andrew entered the room, Rachael was going through the document he was reading earlier.
"Is the new office in Hiachen city ready to function?" When he nodded, she inquired, "Will we be sending employees to the new office?"
"Yes, we need to send at least two employees from here to manage things there temporarily."
When he sat beside her, Rachael leaned her back against his chest as she continued reading the document. "Do you have anyone in mind?"
"No—" He caressed her arm. "I am thinking of letting the employees apply for the position. Later we can choose."
"Hmm, that\'s a good idea."
Keeping quiet for a while, Andrew said, "You received flowers today." When she looked at him, he added, "Red roses."
"From whom?"
"Henry Woshi."
"Oh—" Rachael rested her back on his chest again as she continued to read the document. "Ask someone to send it back."
"I already asked Ben to throw them away," he sighed and rested his chin on the top of her head. "I was away for a few weeks and you are already receiving flowers from other people. I think I have to work harder to make sure you always stay only with me."
Keeping the document down, she looked at him. "Are you really comparing yourself to that guy?" She cupped his cheeks. "How can you degrade my husband like that?"
Before he could say anything, she squeezed his cheeks. "I am already your wife—" She lifted her left hand. "Our wedding ring is always in my finger."
She smiled and gave him a quick peck on his lips. "You don\'t have to work hard anymore, you already have me."
"Such sweet words—is it you or the cupcake talking?" Andrew chuckled.
Just then someone knocked at the door.
Rachael quickly detached herself from him and moved away. But to her surprise, Andrew grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.
"Andrew, someone is at the door," she reminded him as she tried to retrieve her hand back.
"What is the point of maintaining distance when everyone in this office knows we are husband and wife?" He wrapped his arms around her shoulder before asking the person to come in.
Rachael tried to move away again but when she saw who it was, she dropped the idea. Instead, she rested her left hand on his thigh as she continued reading the document.
When he noticed the sudden possessive change in her composer, Andrew\'s lips curled upwards.
"Good afternoon An—" Carol stopped when Rachael looked at her.
Awkwardly clearing her throat, she quickly corrected herself. "Good afternoon boss."
Without saying anything, Rachael looked away and resumed reading her document.
The small silent interaction between the two of them did not go unnoticed by Andrew.
"What is it?" he inquired.
"I came to drop this proposal so that you can go through it before the meeting," Carol answered. She didn\'t know why but she had started getting nervous whenever Rachael was around.
"Keep it on the table," Andrew instructed.
When Carol did not leave even after keeping the document, Rachael looked at her. "Ms.Dominic, is there something else?"
"No madam," she shook her head.
"If that\'s the case then the door is right behind you, please see yourself out." Though Rachael used a normal tone, the bluntness and resentment was quite evident.
After being told by her, Carol did not waste a single moment and rushed out of the office.
"So annoying—" Rachael muttered under her breath.
"Rach—" When she looked at him, Andrew curiously inquired, "Is there a chance that you told her something when I wasn\'t here?"
"Why?" She raised her brows at him. "Will you mind if I did?"
"Are you kidding me?" he chuckled. "I won\'t even mind if you fire her."
Satisfied with his answer, she let out an affirmative sound.
Pinching her waist, he remarked, "My wife looks extra beautiful when she is jealous."
....
[Evening, Collins Mansion]
"Where is Andrew?" Owen inquired.
"He has a dinner meeting with a client.."
"I see." He then looked at Elsa. "What about Justin?"
"He went to pick Edward up from Rachael\'s parents place," Elsa answered.
Keeping quiet for a while, Owen questioned her again. "When will he come back?"
"He will take Ben to the mall—" Elsa frowned and glared at her brother. "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Because I wanna go somewhere with you two—" Owen grinned as he squeezed himself between Elsa and Rachael.
"Where?" Rachael asked as she moved to the side to make space for him.
"I am in a clubbing drinking mood today," he exclaimed.
"Oh me too," Elsa enthusiastically added.
When Rachael did not say anything, he asked, "Do you wanna go?"
"I don\'t know—" Thinking for a while, she said, "Let me think about it."
"There is nothing to think about." Owen placed his hand on her shoulder. "We are having an impromptu girls night out."
"What girls night out? You have a d*ick," Elsa scoffed.
"You don\'t have to be a girl to go on a girls night out," he stated.
Before Rachael and Elsa could retort, he grabbed their hands and pulled them up. "Alright now go get ready, we need to leave before your possessive husbands arrive."
...
[Three hours later]
When Andrew arrived home and found out that Rachael wasn\'t there, he quickly called her.
When the call went through but she did not receive it, he frowned and called her again.
"Whom did she go out with?" He asked aunt Maria.
"Owen and Elsa," she answered.
Andrew pursed his lips and quickly called Owen.
"Hello brother—" Owen yelled as soon as he received the call.
"Where are you people?" he asked as he grabbed his car keys, all ready to leave.
"We are at the club—"
"Is that my hubby?"
Andrew stopped in his tracks when he heard Rachael\'s voice.
