Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 133 - Workout



Cloe was left blankly staring at the onions she still was holding. She really didn't know what to think at this moment. The problem was that she actually agreed with Raelle's words. She strongly agreed with it! There was just no way around it!

And this time, it wasn't because she had been influenced by Raelle's beliefs. It was purely because of her own experience that she couldn't refute Raelle's words. But she had to say, her boss had really touched a sensitive nerve and evoked a pain she thought she had buried too deep within her. Who knew, just one casual and the supposedly humorous sentence would end up reminding her of all the tears she shed.

"I'm telling you, men are just... INFURIATING!"

Cloe heard a female's voice from the other side of the aisle but couldn't help saying out loud, "I agree!"

"And despicable!"

"No lie there, sis!" replied Cloe again to a complete stranger whom she couldn't even see. But she couldn't help it, she was supposedly just talking to herself now.

"That bastard used to make me, romantic playlists when we were dating and now, that we are married, he doesn't even want to go grocery shopping with me!"

Cloe tutted at the other side again, "Men..." She sighed heavily, "One moment they make you playlists, and the next, they add you to the played list!" She looked at the onions again and finally decided to buy them. She needed them anyway, why was she even thinking for so long!

As she just pushed the cart again, her cellphone rang again. This time she looked at the called id before taking the call and said, "Chief, I understand that you want me to work. But let me finish my shopping first!"

But surprisingly, Raelle's calm voice said to her, "You can just enjoy your date with yourself today. We can work tomorrow."

"Huh?" Cloe was taken aback. "Chief? Is that really you?"

"Forgot my voice that soon?" questioned Raelle.

Cloe laughed awkwardly as she said, "No, I can never forget your detached voice even if I want to do so." She cleared her throat and added, "Since you have called me again, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I think what Chief said earlier is right since both boyfriend and onions are meant to make you cry, why bother with the former? At least, when it comes to onions, only my eyes will shed tears. With my boyfriend, my heart will tear open and bleed again! Such a disadvantageous deal it is!" She composed herself and concluded, "As you always say, we should never take a loss in life! Especially if it's at the expense of our own self!"

"Are you feeling happy with that thought alone?"

Cloe gave an evil laugh as she added, "Nope! I just realized I have no reason to be envious of couples around me. Everyone is busy with their future ex anyway!"

"Enjoy your Sunday, Cloe!" said Raelle, and without even acknowledging her words in any sort of way, she hung up again.

Meanwhile, Cloe was really amazed as she pushed the cart mumbling to herself, "Raelle Xiang actually changed her words? She gave me time to enjoy? I feel like I'm really dreaming!"

While she happily skipped around with her cart, the woman who had been talking on the other side of the aisle had specially come over to this side, to see which stranger was agreeing so enthusiastically with her words while being funny?

The woman smacked the arm of the guy beside her saying, "I could have seen her if you didn't stop me."

"I don't think she was trying to hurt you," said the man.

"Little bro, I know she was just venting her own frustrations but I was actually enjoying what she said!"

The man shook his head at his sister's words and dragged her away saying, "Let's go already before your kid starts crying for you!"

.....

Just as Cloe had said, it wasn't every day that Raelle would let her off the hook even after giving her instructions. Today, just so happened that her husband had heard the conversation between them and said, "Today is Sunday. If she is going on a date, you shouldn't bother her."

"She has a date with herself," replied Raelle with a straight face. "Because she has no boyfriend."

"Well, it's possible that she finally found someone," suggested Shui Xian.

"If she was really planning on meeting a guy, she'd be in a clothing store instead of a supermarket buying grocery."

"You really know your assistant well," stated Shui Xian. "But anyway, she has the right to spend her Sunday leisurely with herself. Let her enjoy herself. Only then she'd be able to work properly on Monday."

"But I needed that project..."

Before she could continue, Shui Xian placed his finger on her lips and said, "Wifey, who said we are working on Sunday? I decided not to go out only because I wanted us to just relax at home. It never involved working." He leaned close to her ear and added, "But if you're so eager to work, maybe we can both do a productive workout."

The suggestive underlying meaning of his words had completely been lost in Raelle's mind as she replied, "We can indeed go for a workout. It just so happens, we have a gym at home. Splendid! Let's do that. I'm gonna call Cloe again."

Shui Xian chuckled at her response before he sat down in the swing chair placed on the spacious balcony. He actually had expected her to take his words literally and she did. It looked like he still had a long way before teaching her the other meanings of a 'workout'. Especially, a productive one!

When she came out on the balcony, she asked, "Why are you still here? Aren't we gonna workout now?"

He beckoned her over and as she stepped close to him, he held her wrist and pulled her down. Raelle was made to sit between his legs, with her back laid against his chest while his hands slithered down her arms slowly before his hands enveloped hers tightly.
