Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 988: Reckless Raelle

"According to your instructions, we have announced the news of your wedding on our websites and all our social media handles. The response is just as you expected it to be."         

    

Raelle listened to Cloe's report and looked up at her. She looked tired and there was no doubt that the reason was Raelle's absence and she added more trouble with her sudden proposal. Cloe had to gather the PR team in the middle of the night and couldn't even sleep properly. Raelle thought she should feel bad for her dedicated staff.     

"Can you handle it?" she asked.     

Cloe looked up from the iPad in her hand and looked into Raelle's eyes. Then she smiled at her and said, "As your trusted employee, it's my job. I'll do my best. As someone who admires you greatly, I'm genuinely happy for you."     

"What are you happy about? I'm already married. Others don't know but you do," reminded Raelle.     

Cloe shook her head at her, "Chief, it's different this time. You know when my assistant called me last night and said that you proposed? I thought I was dreaming. And then I actually reprimanded my assistant thinking that he was high. That's how unbelievable it was to me."     

Cloe didn't tell Raelle how she fell from bed when she learned this news. She couldn't believe it at all. Staying with Raelle, she knew how patient this woman was. She also knew how rational Raelle was. She always planned things and spontaneous things weren't exactly spontaneous. But when she thought about it, it wasn't all that unbelievable either considering it wasn't the first time Raelle did something without thinking for Shui Xian's sake.

So, in the end, the only person who could make Raelle Xiang reckless was Shui Xian. Cloe was very happy to know this. It meant that Raelle Xiang who was called a robot was learning to be a lot more human now. Because humans are reckless. Humans are emotional and end up doing things unexpectedly in the spur of the moment.     

But as an employee, it was really not fun.      

Not fun at all.     

"I've made you suffer," commented Raelle.     

"As long as you know," replied Cloe.      

"After the dust settles, how about you hire a couple of assistants for me?"     

Cloe was startled, "Am I being fired?"     

Raelle gave her a look, "Really? If I wanted to fire you, it'd have happened long ago. I'm asking you to hire capable people and train them to take over your work from my side. You can stop being my special assistant and focus on being the Vice President."     

Cloe wasn't exactly happy to hear that, she looked at Raelle suspiciously, "What are you up to, Chief?"     

"Nothing," said Raelle. "Just want to lighten up your workload so that you can plan your wedding."     

Cloe laughed weirdly, "What's this about my wedding? I'm not in a hurry."     

"Shouldn't you be happy that you won't have to work more?" asked Raelle. "Why do you look so reluctant? What? Fell in love with me?"     

Cloe pursed her lips and looked at Raelle who seemed to be teasing her right now and it really made Cloe want to laugh. "It's true. I did fall in love with you, Chief."     

"What a shame. I only love my husband."     

Cloe shook her head. She already knew she'd get such a response from someone like Raelle. "Chief, you break my heart saying this."     

"Go home and ask that lawyer of yours to help you pick up the pieces of your broken heart and fix it."

Cloe gaped at Raelle, "Chief, you've changed."     

Raelle didn't respond to that, she just gave the files that she signed back to Cloe saying, "I know you're not someone who likes to drag things. Since you've found your lawyer who offered what you're looking for, I'm sure you want to settle down. Because I know how much you want to have a family of your own."     

Cloe suddenly fell quiet when she heard that. Of course, who else would know she craved a family of her own than Raelle Xiang?          

    

"What are you saying, Chief? I'm not that insecure girl who came to your side ten years ago. Today, I have a family. I also have a home. I also have people who care about me. And on the top of the list, it's your name, Chief. So, thank you for always caring about me in your way. Thank you for believing in me and thank you for welcoming me not in just your life but also your family. You gave me more than you think."     

Raelle looked at the tears shining in Cloe's eyes and didn't respond for a moment. To be honest, she didn't think about what she did for Cloe. She only did what she always do. Since Cloe was loyal and sincere, she offered the some to her in return.      

But as always Raelle Xiang would never understand that she might be just returning what people gave her, however, she always offered her whole self and sometimes it meant the whole world to the other person. Just like Cloe to whom Raelle was above everything. She wasn't just a boss.      

"You're making it seem like I'm a great human being," said Raelle. "Don't say it outside. People will call you crazy."     

Cloe chuckled when she heard that but didn't refute it. Indeed, if she went out and said that Raelle Xiang was a caring person, a warm person, and had a beautiful heart, most people would call her crazy. Because that's not the Raelle Xiang they see. But it wasn't that the Raelle Xiang they saw was different, it was just that they never tried to see beyond the surface.     

"Chief, next time you decide to do something reckless, please give me a warning," said Cloe after being sentimental for a while. "My heart can't take this. I'm a person with a weak heart."     

Raelle knew she was just changing the topic but she didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
