Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

At the Rouco Group building, after the high-level meeting, Adán Rouco gave instructions to Santino Yepes: “Go get Director Olivia”.

“Yes, I’m coming immediately.”

Three minutes later, Olivia Montes walked into the meeting room and asked with a smile on her face, “Mr. Adam, what did you want to see me about?”

Adán Rouco looked at her and said, “This afternoon you have half a day off.”

“Huh?” Olivia Montes was curious and said amused, “Why am I getting a day off for no reason?”

Adán Rouco was especially selfless: “Although my older brother has been gone for five years, my sister-in-law has always done her best to take care of the family, and Dad and I are very grateful to her. . Dad also said that if the sister-in-law knows a suitable one, they can try to get along. I know the Alvidrez family Mr. Xalvador has always looked up to sister-in-law, and sister-in-law can meet Mr. Salvador to see …”

“Adam, I … What are you talking about? How could I…”

Adán Rouco calmly continued, “I happen to have a good personal relationship with Mr. Xalvador, so I took it upon myself to do something about it, and now Mr. Xalvador is waiting for his sister-in-law downstairs at the Rouco Group, and I’m giving your sister-in-law half a day off so she can go out and relax.”

Olivia Montes’ face turned green, “Adam, I, I don’t want to go, I have to pick up Dante from work…”

Before he could finish his refusal, Adán Rouco took over and said softly, “Dante will be picked up by my sister-in-law, she can only go out with Sister Xalvador and relax.”

“I …”

Adán Rouco said in a deep voice, “Santino Yepes, why don’t you send Director Olivia downstairs, it is not convenient for Mr. Xalvador to go upstairs to get Director Olivia if he is tired of waiting.”

Santino Yepes understood and immediately raised his hand in a “please” sign to Olivia Montes, “Director Olivia, come down, it is not a good idea for Mr. Xalvador to wait too long”.

Olivia Montes bit her lip and reluctantly left the meeting room with clenched fists.

Adán Rouco picked up the cell phone from the conference table and dialed a number.

Xalvador Alvidrez asked, somewhat anxiously, “Mr. Adán, I have been waiting for twenty minutes, why hasn’t Olivia come down yet?”.

“It won’t be long now, my sister-in-law has been very busy with work and raising the children and rarely entertains herself, so I will ask Mr. Xalvador to take my sister-in-law to relax tonight.”

Over there, Xalvador Alvídrez stuck out his chest: “Don’t worry, tonight it’s only twelve o’clock, there’s no way I’m going to let Olivia go home”.

Adam Rouco’s thin lips curved in a serious manner, “Thank you Mr. Xalvador then.”

After hanging up the phone, Santino Yepes turned around from the elevator.

Adán Rouco raised an eyebrow: “He went down?”.

“I pressed the elevator myself, if Director Olivia didn’t come down, I think this Mr. Xalvador would have gone to the creative department to find Director Olivia, who couldn’t afford to look bad, so he must have come down.”

A calculating smile crept into Adán Rouco’s eyes as he stood up and walked out of the conference room toward his office. Santino Yepes followed him, thinking for a moment, and said, “Chief, did Director Olivia intimidate Miss Estrella?”

The man stepped forward with his long legs and growled, “You’re the only smart one.”

Santino Yepes pursed his lips, “You know that Principal Olivia is the one who is most afraid of that Mr. Xalvador who annoys her, but yet you push Principal Olivia towards Mr. Xalvador, isn’t it obvious that you are giving Principal Olivia a hard time on purpose?”

“I’m afraid Principal Olivia has too much time on her hands and spends it with the newcomers she harasses.”

Adán Rouco became so serious that Santino Yepes let out a laugh, “Boss, you are too good at giving Director Olivia a hard time. I don’t think Principal Olivia has time to give Miss Estrella the slip these days.”

Besides, after work, Olivia Montes and Estrella Berrocal used to live under the same roof, from the company to the Rouco family, and now the lady. By the time Olivia Montes gets home, Estrella Berrocal will have gone to bed and there will be no possibility of problems with Estrella Berrocal.

If she’s having a good time at night, will she still have the energy to take on Estrella Berrocal during the day?

I’m afraid all your thoughts would be on how to avoid Mr. Xalvador.

Adán Rouco grimaced, not dismissing Santino Yepes’ suspicions as a tacit acknowledgment.

Santino Yepes gave a thumbs up, “Boss, that’s a great move.”

“Stop kissing ass and go to GK Group to talk about the contract.”

“Yes, yes, yes, yes, I’ll be right there.”

…

Back to the Rouco family from the office, Estrella Berrocal wondered, until after dinner, that it was after 10 p. m. and Olivia Montes had not returned.

She gave Paulita a warm bath, gave the little girl her medication and waited for her to fall asleep before leaving the children’s room.

When he came out of the children’s room, he saw the closed studio where Adán Rouco was to continue working.

Thinking about her latest stomachache, Estrella Berrocal went downstairs to warm up a glass of milk and brought it upstairs, knocking on the studio door to enter.

“I’ve warmed up a glass of milk for you, drink it before you go back to work.”

Estrella Berrocal moved the glass of hot milk closer to the table, but Adán Rouco put down the paper in her hand, raised his hand and grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her into his arms.

“When did you become so gentle and virtuous?”.

She sat on his lap, her face flushed, “Don’t you like it when I’m gentle and virtuous with you?”

Was it wrong to be gentle and virtuous with him? Did he like that he was arrogant and domineering?

The man chuckled lightly and scoffed, “A little out of place.”

She was annoyed, “In your impression, do I just slap you in the face?”

Adán Rouco put an arm around her, picked up the milk from the table with one hand and sipped happily.

Estrella Berrocal brushed his lips, “Why are you hugging me? Don’t you still want to work?”

The man frowned slightly and held her firmly in his large hands, whispering in her ear, “Don’t move, let me hold you for a while.”

Her ears blushed, but she didn’t move, sitting in his arms, “But how can you work like that?”.

Adam Rouco looked at her with dark eyes, took her small hand and placed it on the table, “Turn the pages for me.”

Estrella Berrocal’s lips twitched; this man, so he was keeping her to turn the pages for him?

She did as he told her and helped him turn the pages, her chin resting on his slender shoulder as he held her and turned the pages.

After a while, she couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, why haven’t I seen my sister-in-law all night?”

“Why, did you miss her?”

How can this be?

“I don’t miss her, I’d rather she didn’t come back every night to save me the work…”

Adam Rouco looked down at the small woman in his arms and curved his thin lips. “I’m afraid he doesn’t have time to bother you these days.”

Estrella Berrocal looked back at Adán Rouco behind her and asked, “Why, what have you been doing?”

“He’s had an appointment.”

“A date? With a man.”

It is in the nature of women to gossip, and Estrella Berrocal is no exception.

Adán Rouco looked deeply at her and responded with indifference.

Estrella Berrocal, even more gossipy, glared at him and asked, “So you’re not jealous?”

“What am I jealous of? Or is it that you want me to be jealous?”.

Estrella Berrocal’s heart dilated even more with a giggle, so she really didn’t like Olivia Montes?

“Of course I don’t want you to be jealous, I’m just curious, haven’t you always liked…”

The man said with his usual nonchalance, “I saw that she had nothing to do lately but falsify DNA reports, so I found her a man to relieve her of her boredom.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
