Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 461 – Forgot

Never in even her dreams did Cloe ever think she'd come to Raelle for relationship advice. But just as Raelle had told her, life is unpredictable. She really should get used to it. Since the reality just proved that right now, she stood in front of Raelle and asked, "Chief, what do you think I should do?"

"You want free advice?" Raelle asked in return. "But there is no free lunch in this world."

Cloe sighed out, "Chief, I've been loyal to you for years."

Raelle shook her finger, "You have been loyal to the money I pay you." She took a pause and added, "But since I've invested quite some years in shaping you into a capable individual, I believe I should go easy on you."

Cloe was actually amused by the way she liked to put things out there.

"Please, do!"

"If you're uncertain about this relationship, just kiss him," suggested Raelle to Cloe who almost fell down from shock. That was certainly not what she expected to hear.

"What?!"

"Don't look at me like you've seen a ghost," said Raelle. "It's still me."

"Oh," responded Cloe as she gathered her thoughts. "I just never thought I'd be hearing something like that from you."

"Don't think about unnecessary things," said Raelle. "Instead, focus on what I said. Kissing is the beginning of a relationship. From a kiss, you can actually tell if you want to be with a person or not." She could see the disbelief in Cloe's eyes so she added, "You can have some faith in my words. "I have read plenty of books."

"You mean, just a kiss will allow me to understand whether I want to be with him or not?" 

"That's exactly it," agreed Raelle. "It's called the first base for a reason. It's because it's the first step towards something more intimate. And that first step either can lead you forward or make you realize that this isn't meant for you."

"I suddenly feel like I just have a whole new understanding of you," said Cloe. "But I'll follow your lead." She so readily agreed because her past experience had proven that it could never go wrong with following Raelle's lead. Cloe felt lighthearted after the discussion and turned to leave. But just as she reached the door, she looked back and hesitated before opening her mouth to ask, "Chief, just one last question."

Raelle looked up from the file in her hand at Cloe.

"Did you apply this to your husband?"

"Curious?"

Cloe nodded her head like a chicken pecking on grains. She was dying from curiosity now.

"Since you're this curious, I don't wanna tell you."

Cloe snorted, "How stingy!"

Raelle clicked her fingers and said, "Get back to work now!"

"Yes, Chief!" Cloe hurriedly ran out of her office. Just because Raelle was having a normal conversation with her, she actually forgot for a second that she was talking to her boss who valued time more than money. Because according to her, money lost can be earned. The lost times can never be recovered.

In fact, the only reason Raelle spent so much time on Cloe was simple. She didn't want such irrelevant thoughts to disrupt Cloe's mood and affect her work efficiency later on. As she had said, she had spent years training Cloe to become one of her most trusted employees and the most capable one as well. 

She would just count it as taking care of her employees' mental health. See? She was such a good boss! She even cared about their mental health. 

Soon, she got back to work. However, just five minutes later, she was looking for something on her desk. She stood up and went to check up on the things she brought from home but couldn't find what she was looking for.

"Did I leave it at home?" wondered Raelle. She closed her eyes and replayed her memory from this morning. And she knew clearly that she placed those documents along with her other things on the table. But now, it was missing. "Where did it go?"

Although she trusted her impeccable memory, she still decided to be doubtful. She stood up and left the office. Cloe saw her leaving in a hurry and called out, "Chief, is everything okay?" The reason she asked was that if everything was okay then why would Raelle leave the office at this time.

"I think I left something at home," replied Raelle as she pressed the button of her exclusive elevator and entered. "I'll be right back," was all she said as the elevator door closed.

Cloe was left staring at the door with a dumbstruck look. Raelle Xiang actually forgot something at home? Was she such a forgetful person? Why didn't she know about that until now?

  Raelle went to the parking lot and found her chauffeur waiting in the A1 area. She sat inside and ordered, "Let's go back home."

Following her instructions, the car arrived home earlier than usual. Especially since it wasn't peak hours and the road was clear which allowed the chauffeur to increase the speed. As soon as Raelle alighted from the car, she was met with Shui Koshing who was going outside.

Seeing her home at this time, he was surprised, "Raelle, what are you doing here?" His expressions suddenly changed as he inquired, "Are you okay? Do you feel unwell?"

Raelle paused when he asked that question with worry and concern visible on his face. She didn't know why she intently observed that expression on his face but then she said, "No, I'm fine, Bà. I just forgot something in my room."

Shui Koshing heaved a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's good. I almost got scared that something happened." He took a pause and added, "Why did you make a trip back yourself? You should have just called me and I'd have brought whatever it is to you."

"I'll inform next time," said Raelle.

"Go, do your work," smiled Shui Koshing.. "I know you're really busy."
