Master's Untamed Wife

To be honest, it wasn't that Cloe had wasted years over just a scumbag. The reason why she had been single for so long was her dear boss. And no, Raelle had never banned her employees from dating. There wasn't even a 'no dating' rule in her company. As long as their personal lives won't affect their professional lives, Raelle had no problem with them. 

It was just that working with a boss like Raelle, Cloe had always wanted to prove herself. Maybe she strived for the better because she believed that she deserved better than that scumbag who cheated on her. And because of this belief, she had been working hard for herself all these years. It was a shame that along the way, she forgot about dating.

Since Raelle had no partner since Cloe started working with her, Cloe had never felt like there was anything wrong with staying single. But now, it was that same boss who was making Cloe feel like she really needed to get out on the field again.

'Perhaps, I should go on that blind date Soren was talking about,' Cloe thought to herself.

The door of the room opened and Hyson stepped in. Seeing the people inside waiting for him, he paused and soon continued to his bed. 

"Hi, Cloe!" Hyson waved at her pleasantly. "Did you come here to see me?" Cloe nodded her head and he went on, "Aww... How sweet of you!"

"How are you feeling now?" inquired Cloe. 

"I'm feeling so good that I think I can start flying," replied Hyson jokingly.

"There is the window," Raelle's voice was heard as she pointed towards the window. Seeing Hyson's brows raised up inquisitively, she went on, "Jump."

"Jump? Do you want me to break my bones?" asked Hyson.

"Didn't you just say you can fly?" retorted Raelle. "If you can't even act upon your words, don't talk nonsense."

Hyson gritted his teeth while his eyes narrowed.

Cloe received a text and she excused herself, "Give me a minute. I'll be right back."

As she went out, Raelle asked him, "I heard you had quite a lively day."

Hyson grinned and nodded, "I did. Zhen Ge, Yiwen Ge, Zi Hong Ge, and Shuyi Ge, all came here for me. And we had a lot of fun."

"I've asked Cloe to inquire about who is acquiring the MJ Entertainments," told Raelle. "I'll let you know when I learn about the whole situation."

"To be honest, I don't care who acquires it," said Hyson. "I'm just worried about my group's situation. The company had been trying to suppress us since Zi Hong Ge's dating scandal broke out."

"Why are you worried?" asked Shui Xian who had been quietly listening until now. Hyson raised his brows at Shui Xian and the latter answered, "I mean, with such an impressive best friend, how can you be worried?"

Hyson stared at Raelle before saying, "She is impressive. There is no doubt about that. But I don't like depending on her. Especially when it comes to my profession."

"And you don't have to depend on me either," said Raelle. "Your talent alone is enough for you to shine."

Hyson smiled softly at her compliment and said, "Talent alone is not enough. You and I both know that. There are so many talented people in this world but not everyone manages to shine."

"This profound Yue Fai scares me a little," said Shui Xian.

Cloe came back with a bouquet of flowers that she offered to Hyson, "Get well soon!"

Hyson smiled at her beautifully and took the flowers before asking, "I don't get it. Why send flowers to a patient? They can't eat them. Wouldn't it be better to send some snacks instead?"

"You're not allowed to eat snacks yet," reminded Raelle.

"I'm just saying," shrugged Hyson before he looked at Cloe. "Anyway, thank you so much. Although I can't eat flowers, I still like them a lot. It's still better than someone who didn't even bother to bring anything." As he spoke, his eyes were pointing towards Raelle, who didn't bother to pay him any attention.

"Cloe, where did you get the flowers at this time?" asked Raelle because she genuinely wanted to know. She didn't think there was a flower shop around.

"I booked an order online," answered Cloe. She showed Raelle her phone, "There is an app for this. In fact, these days there is an app for everything. Food, drinks, fruit, flowers, you name it. Everything will be delivered to your doorstep."

"Can you order a boyfriend as well?" asked Raelle.

Cloe sighed out, "No. That one is not available at the moment."

"Poor you!" 

Cloe's eyes widened when she heard Raelle's reply and looked at her expressionless face. Maybe it was her illusion but she really thought that currently, Raelle was teasing her. But she shook that thought out of her head immediately. After all, who was her boss? Raelle Xiang! This boss didn't know anything about teasing. Right? Right? 

Hyson also pursed his lips to hide his laughter. Out of everyone in this room, he was the one who was most clear about Raelle's character. And that's why this interaction seemed so funny to him.

Clearing throat, he said, "Well, there are dating apps. Right?"

"There are," answered Cloe. "But the people you meet online are not reliable. What if you run into a serial killer who likes going on dates and then liked inviting you home so he could cut your organs out?"

Hyson gulped, "That's a very vivid description." He coughed a little before saying, "Ellie said you like watching romantic movies. When did you get into thrillers?"

Cloe grinned at him, "I'm not into thrillers but I've seen quite a few crime dramas."

"No wonder," muttered Hyson to himself.

Cloe was also not sure when she got into crime dramas. She hated horror or thriller movies. But staying with Raelle, she had even got over her fear of horror movies. No, it was not that Raelle was scarier than a ghost. It was because Raelle's realistic personality made her believe firmly that ghosts weren't real.
