Semua Bab My Boss, My Husband: Bab 91 - Bab 100

My throat burned and my heart raced uncontrollably, all thanks to the scare Lucius just gave me.“Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!” I snapped, completely frazzled.He looked at me, perplexed, and dropped my hand.“If you die, it’ll be your own fault. All I did was grab your hand. Why aren’t you at dinner?” he asked, suspicious.“Because… because I needed to go to the bathroom. I got lost on the way back,” I explained, trying to mask my nervousness at being caught snooping.“How could you get lost? There’s no way to get lost here.”I’d like to know that myself, but I just shrugged, pretending not to understand. He let the matter drop, and we returned to the dining room, where Leonardo was already seated, ready to finish dessert.Even the conversation between the cousins didn’t seem to encourage Lucius to engage with the rest of us at the table. If anything, it felt like he was even more distant now. Leonardo too seemed quieter than before.-I buttoned up my pajamas a

I had a lot of experience with wedding planning, thanks to my failed attempt at marrying Andrew. That experience gave me a taste of what it was like, and I used that knowledge to organize my wedding with Lucius.Having an unlimited budget made things easier, but there was still a lot to plan and manage. In just a couple of weeks, I had to choose the reception venue, pick my wedding dress, decide on the decorations, select the music, the menu, and countless other details.To my surprise, the wedding I put together wasn’t grander than Amanda’s. It was smaller, more personal, filled with things I genuinely liked. This time, I didn’t have to worry about winning Serge’s approval or being “too ordinary” for my future in-laws. I focused on myself, a little bit of Jenna, and our vision of what Lucius might like.Of course, Lucius was still playing it cool, claiming he was busy with work. I didn’t really believe him. Analyzing his behavior over the past few days wouldn’t help me now, not whe

When the wine arrived on a tray of cocktail glasses, I got even more excited and started drinking happily. I told them all about my terrible encounter with Serge and Amanda, while they shared how they got stuck in an elevator that morning. We laughed, drank, and I even danced with Jenna for a bit on the dance floor downstairs while Derek entertained some acquaintances he had run into.After a few hours, and after waiting in a ridiculously long line for the women’s restroom, Jenna and I finally got to rest at our assigned table.“I swear, next time I’m using the men’s restroom,” my friend complained. I laughed heartily.“I’ll join you. They wouldn’t even notice,” I said.“By the way, does your boss know where you are tonight?”“I don’t think so. We haven’t spoken today. He’s still acting distant,” I revealed, feeling a little sad.“Not on my watch! Derek, Peter, come over here right now!” Jenna shouted, probably thanks to the alcohol.Derek and Peter, who was one of the acquainta

The truth was, Lucius had described himself perfectly. That was a big part of the image I had of him. I also thought about the good things he had, but no words came out of my mouth. He noticed and let out a low chuckle. We had arrived at my apartment, and he was about to park at the entrance.“Wouldn’t you rather use my parking spot? Or… do you want to come up to my place?” I offered, trying to smooth things over.He thought about it for a few seconds before driving into the underground parking lot. I used the remote I kept in my purse to open the gate, and a few minutes later, we were entering my apartment.I stood awkwardly by the door, holding my keys, unsure of what to say. It occurred to me to offer him food, so I headed straight to the kitchen.“Do you want something to drink? Or eat? I’m starving, and I have a ton of instant ramen,” I said, already setting a pot on the stove.Lucius sat in the armchair silently, as if he were debating what to say. I abandoned the pot and ap

However, by the time we signed our names in the registry, those playful smiles had to come to an end. The officiant then asked us to kiss, and we did.It was probably the most chaste kiss we’d ever shared in our relationship. As we parted and turned to face our guests, I couldn’t help but notice the bitter expressions on some of my guests’ faces and the stunned looks on most of the Browns.We had done it. Lucius and I had defied all odds and gotten married.-The nerves should have calmed by now, but they hadn’t. The hard part was supposed to be over, yet as we waited to be announced at the reception hall inside the hotel, I still felt anxious.“What did the floor ever do to you for you to stomp on it so viciously?” Lucius asked, casually munching on grapes as if nothing were out of the ordinary, as if this little waiting room for the newlyweds was a spa.“Are you serious? I’ve felt like throwing up since this morning,” I complained.“Why? Did you eat too much last night?”“Pre
