Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 37

  In the morning Ariana woke to an empty bed.

  She is used to Michael getting up before her each morning but still felt disappointed as if she lost her favorite doll.

  Ariana stretched to remove her phone from the night stand. When she saw the time her eyes almost fall out.

  “How could I have slept so late?” Ariana jumped off the bed and head to the master bedroom.

  She cannot be absent from work. She ran into the bathroom to take a quick shower.

  The moment she came out of the bathroom she heard her phone ringing.

  She looked at the screen and saw the name ‘Husband’.

  ‘When did I save his number like this, or even better question, when did he save his number as ‘Husband’ without my knowledge?’

  She answered the call a bit flustered due to quick moments, “Why didn’t you wake me?”

  Michael chuckled and did not answer directly, “What is the matter? Have you just woken up?”

  “Michael!” Ariana was now furious because it was obvious he did it on purpose.

  “Yes my love?” Michael did not take her anger to heart.

  “Stop playing around. I am getting ready for work now.” Ariana wanted nothing more than to hang up on him. He was deliberately mocking her and playing innocent.

  Michael knew she is a workaholic and would want to go to work despite her broken lip.

  He personally disabled her alarm. If she had slept till now, then she was actually really tired.

  “Who would allow you to start work so late in the afternoon? Its past one at this moment and by the time you get to the company, persons will be coming back from lunch” Michael explained to her.

  Ariana thought about it and realized it is reasonable. “Can you at least put in a sick day for me?”

  “Ariana, why are you acting so flustered? Did you lose your memory? I am the President of this company and you’re my wife.” Michael wondered what was going on in her head most of the time.

  Ariana took a deep breath and finally felt relief. “Okay, but I don’t want to take advantage of the fact that I am your wife in the company. People will start to talk again.”

  “Who can dare make mentioned of anything after I warned them?” Michael sneered, he wanted nothing more than to announce his marriage with her to the entire world.

  “I don’t really care about the things that are not true but I don’t want my hard work to be based on the President’s preference towards me.” Ariana had work hard to get to where she is now and she would like it to stay that way.

  “Okay baby, I understand.” Michael did not want to push her too much because he knew what she is worried about the most. Her work and achievements.

  “You can still come to the company to stay with me.” Ariana heard the eagerness in his voice and did not have the heart to turn him down.

  “Alright, I will be there soon.”

  …

  “Alex, what else did you find?” Michael sat behind his desk with a pen between his fingers tapping lightly on the desk.
