34 Moving in with Geoff
Geoff and I became very busy in the next days. We met only twice for the whole weekday. He promised he would make it up with me once the problems in his company are resolved. He came to my place at night looking very tired and I couldn't help but pity my husband. We agreed that I would finally move in with him this weekend. He hired someone who could be with me in his mansion while he is away. She would also be my personal assistant.
Saturday morning, Michael and a woman came early in my place. The woman was wearing casual clothes smiling from ear to ear. She looks young and pleasant.
"This is Nancy. She will be your personal assistant from now on Mrs. Park." Michael said. I'm still not used to being called Mrs. Park. It's like music to my ears.
"Nice to meet you, Madam." Nancy said bowing lowly.
"Nice to meet you Nancy. Please call me Jessica." I said politely.
"Oh no, Madam! I shouldn't be rude by calling you with your first name. It's my pleasur

The Love I Have Hoped For 35 Hiding from Regina
I went inside our bedroom for the first time after talking with Regina. The room is like a suite in a hotel. I was welcomed by an area which looks like a living room because of the sofa. It is surrounded with soft couches. In the middle is a coffee table with a flower vase on top. Geoff is sitting on the sofa, checking some papers. The elegance of the room doesn't stop me from thinking about what Regina said. I didn't come here to get whatever her role is in this house. I am here because my husband lives here, and as his wife, I have to be wherever he is."What's wrong? What did you talk about?" Geoff asked."Nothing!" I lied. "She just told me that I can go and talk to her if I have any problem.""Are you sure? You don't look okay." Geoff stopped what he was doing and pulled me close to him. He hugged me making me feel better."This is my house and since you are my wife, this is now also yours. Don't make anyone tell you otherwise. If she ever gives you
The Love I Have Hoped For 36 Like Mother Like Son
I forgot what happened this morning due to the busy schedule I have in the office. First, I have to orient the new employees on what they have to do and what tasks they have to accomplish. Second, I need to have a meeting with the creative team for an hour or two to discuss about ideas on how we can do the advertising campaign for Liberty Group. Third, I need to make a lot reports to be submitted to Mr. Smith so he could see how we progress. Actually, I already asked Geoff before about his opinion with some of our proposals and he already agreed to focus on emphasizing on their facilities without the need of famous celebrities since Liberty Group is already famous in the market. It is easier for me to come up with more ideas because of this fact.The day went by so fast and I was hoping nighttime won't come. I hope when I arrive home, Regina is already resting, or she went outside. I went directly to the parking lot where Sam, the driver (I got his name from Nancy, I was so r
The Love I Have Hoped For 37 She is a Witch!
The next day, I left home earlier than usual, hoping that I won't see Regina. I was worried with Nancy. Today is her first time to be alone in this house without me. She is a tough girl. I'm sure of that, but it is still different when I can defend her if something happens. Despite knowing her for less than a week, I have come to like her a lot. She is like a younger sister to me and I also trusted her easily.Luckily, I was able to leave the mansion without any problem. I promised Nancy that I will call her from time to time to check on her. I asked her to call me immediately if something happens. There are many maids in this house. Many of them are older than her. I want to be familiar with some of them so I can leave Nancy there at peace, but no one among them seems to like me. Everyone looks at me from head to foot whenever I see anyone around. Some of them avoid me intentionally.As usual, I was busy in the office the whole day. I like that better. At least I can
The Love I Have Hoped For 38 What They Think about Me
I woke up earlier than usual the next day. Since Geoff is back, Nancy slept downstairs with the other maids. I went directly to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for me and Geoff. This time, I won't be intimidated with anyone's presence, including Regina.It is only past 4 a.m. and as expected, everyone is still asleep. I checked the fridge and was surprised to see how big it is. It is like the fridge you see in grocery stores. Inside it, you can see almost every ingredient you need for cooking. It has all kinds of meat and vegetables. On the side, it has eggs and cheese. I opened the other fridge door and in here, you can see many kinds of drinks. I never thought I am missing a lot of things by not exploring the kitchen. We also have a small fridge upstairs, but it only has a few things, just some sandwiches and drinks.I chose bacon and some eggs for breakfast. I made myself busy by cooking bacon in a pan while preparing eggs. A little later, a maid in his early fifti

Today will be a hectic day for me and my team. I briefed the group on our short presentation and meeting with the CEO of Liberty Group, who happens to be my husband. Everyone seems so tense that they will finally meet the mysterious businessman. Despite being wealthy and influential in the business industry, he was very private that he never agreed to have an interview with any magazine or business news. Meeting him in person makes them feel they are privileged.Though I am so tense to meet my husband in Pines Advertising for the first time, I have to act professionally for my team and my company. I don't want everyone to know that we got this deal because of my relationship with the CEO. Mr. Smith came to my table from time to time to check on my preparations. He also asked some staff to order some drinks for the visitors.Annie looked very busy as well. She looked at me once and smiled. With that simple smile, I already knew what she wanted to say.

The Love I Have Hoped For 40 The Warning
Despite having no relationship until the age of 30, I was always hopeful that someday, I will meet someone who would love and protect me, someone who I will be with for the rest of my life. Meeting and marrying Geoff is the reality of that dream and I promised myself to cherish every day I am with him.After work, Geoff and Michael picked me up from Pines Advertising. They parked at a nearby restaurant to avoid being seen by my coworkers. Actually, we don't need to hide our relationship with others, but I believe it is the best choice. Geoff suggested we tell Mr. Smith that I am his wife, but I want to gain his respect because of my abilities and not because of the man I am married with. We will tell everyone about us once I am totally confident that I am deserving to be called his wife.We cuddled at the back of the car, exchanging kisses. We already got used to Michael's presence and we know we are safe with him."I miss you baby." He said and kissed my ears a
The Love I Have Hoped For 41 The Anticipated Dinner
Receiving a message from my husband's ex-wife is not a big deal to me. The word 'ex' means past, meaning I shouldn't feel threatened nor scared of whoever she is. After receiving the message, I deleted it immediately without even checking the phone number. My day was already ruined by Regina this morning and I don't want it to be ruined further by anyone from my husband's past.I fixed my stuff and headed directly to the elevator. I promised Geoff that I will prepare dinner for us tonight. Even though I am not a good cook and I haven't prepared a special meal for anyone before, with the help of internet, I know I can pull off a good meal tonight.Despite what Regina said this morning, I'm still in high spirits knowing that I will be able to spend the whole weekend with my husband.I got in the car and saw Nancy inside."Oh, hi Nancy.

The Love I Have Hoped For 42 Meeting the Ex-Wife
While on my way home, I tried to put some light make up for me not to look so tired. I put some powder and blush on and applied brow liner. I also put red lipstick. I am sure I won't have the time to go back to my room and change clothes. I can imagine Regina and her visitor in the living room waiting for my arrival. I'm sure Geoff is already home by now. I don’t know what kind of relationship they have now, whether they are friends or they feel uncomfortable around each other but as his current wife, I have to make sure that Erica knows her position.I reached the mansion after 6 pm and as expected, Regina and Erica are seated in the sofa in the living room. They are sitting next to each other and it seems like they are talking about something serious. They both looked at me when I arrived. Erica looked at me from head to foot. It seems like he is evaluating my appearance, like I am a merchandise from a store.I was not sure whether I would greet them or not. Th
