His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 538

Completely ignoring the three shell-shocked executives, Archer pushed away from his desk and practically sprinted across the room to reach her.

He effortlessly took the thermos from her hand, wrapping his other arm firmly around her waist and leaning in. "Why are you wearing so little? Is it freezing out there?"

His voice was incredibly gentle, dripping with a devotion none of them had ever witnessed.

Was this... was this actually their ruthless, bloodthirsty boss?

The three executives' jaws practically unhinged and hit the floor.

They obviously knew who the Lady Boss was, but they had absolutely no idea their terrifying CEO was this whipped.

Exchanging rapid glances, they practically bowed. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Vanderbilt."

Virginia glanced at the executives, offering a polite, radiant smile before turning back to Archer. "I can go wait over there while you finish up."

Instead of letting her go, Archer tightened his grip on her waist and leveled a completely different look at the three idiots still staring at them.

"That's enough. Get out."

It took them a solid second to reboot, but they practically tripped over themselves to bow again. "Yes, sir."

Virginia let out a slightly embarrassed laugh, nodding at them as they scrambled.

Archer was in an impossibly good mood just because she had shown up.

He threw a careless glance at the disastrous proposal on his desk and waved them off. "Have the new draft to me by Monday. And tell accounting that everyone's year-end bonus is doubled."

The executives nearly wept with joy, profusely thanking him while silently worshiping their Lady Boss, before bolting from the office and shutting the door behind them.

In less than ten minutes, the news that the CEO's wife hand-delivered his lunch—and that the entire company was getting double bonuses because of it—ignited every group chat in the building.

...

At five-thirty that evening.

Archer clocked out exactly on time, lacing his fingers through Virginia's as they walked out of the Vanderbilt building and drove straight to Cloudcrest Estate.
