"Why did you refuse, Selina? Aren't you officially my wife," Adam said, feeling offended that Selina had suddenly moved off his lap. To Adam, Selina was like a friend. In fact, she could do anything Adam wanted. When he saw Secretary Kenzo coming down the stairs, Adam understood what Selina meant.

"I've put the suitcases in the closet, miss, so you can just put them in one by one," Kenzo said as he excused himself to leave his employers.

Selina felt very uncomfortable even though she had seen Adam's innocent body, but even when they were alone, Selina felt like she was talking to her boss. "Sir, I'll make some tea first, it looks like it's going to rain outside soon."

Selina quickly left Adam alone in the living room. She knew that he definitely didn't want to just chat. Adam would go on and on, even if he said it would only be for a while. The word "a while" was long enough for Selina. When Selina entered the kitchen, it was already stocked with utensils and condiments.

"It's a good thing I'm resourceful. If I'd kept her close, she wouldn't have wanted to be left behind," Selina thought as she grabbed some tea and sugar from the cupboard. Then she made a glass of hot tea for Mr. Adam.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Adam snapped his fingers and counted the minutes that Selina had been in the kitchen. The man was impatient, he was already in the kitchen to see what Selina was doing, so it was taking forever to make her a cup of tea.

"Honey, what are you doing, why is it taking so long?" asked Adam as he hugged Selina's body from behind and kissed his mistress on the cheek. "I told you, you don't have to do all this. Shall I call a servant to help you?"

"No need, master. I can do it myself. Besides, if there were servants here, I wouldn't really need them," Selina replied.

Selina felt claustrophobic with Adam's arm still around her waist. She found it hard not to want to be left behind, even though she had only been in the kitchen for five minutes. "I can't concentrate on pouring the hot water into the tea," Selina pleaded, trying to make Adam understand. But he shook his head and waited irritably for her to pour the hot water into the glass.

"If you don't need a maid, how can you spend time on me? Stop it, there will be a maid here to help you. So you don't have to do any housework."

Selina's eyes bulged in disgust at Adam's order, she preferred to work alone and didn't need anyone's help. "Sir," Selina's words were interrupted by Adam

"There was no refusal or offer. After all, you should just serve me. No need to do homework," Adam said as he pulled Selina's waist into his arms. He gazed into those beautiful eyes that Adam had always missed. Adam started giving her sweet kisses on the cheek and then on the part she liked the most, her tiny cherry-colored lips.

"You're so beautiful, darling. Stop calling me 'Master'," Adam said as he carried Selina's body into the room.

Adam lowered Selina's petite body carefully. "Open it, it's a gift for you."

Selina's hand reached for the pink box on the bed. She smiled at Adam.

Selina bit her lower lip, saying that the box was a gift for her. Then, Selina opened the box and found only a shirt with a very thin fabric. Selina closed it again as she was not used to wearing the night clothes Adam had given her.

"Su... my husband, this shirt is very beautiful. It's just that I'm not used to wearing it.".

Adam took the box and spread out his pajamas. As soon as Selina saw it, she felt very embarrassed. Adam even opened it without feeling the slightest embarrassment. "Don't you like the material or the style?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I find it too thin for sleepwear. I'd rather use the pajamas I brought from home. Husband, thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift. I'll keep the shirt in the closet. Out of respect for Adam's gift, Selina took it, but she would never wear it, especially not in front of Adam.

"Fine, if you don't want to use it," the flat words that came out of Adam's mouth scared Selina. She was afraid to break Adam's heart like the last time when she didn't answer his phone because she was busy working.

"I also have a present for you."

"Is it true that you have a present for me too? I never said that I would give you a gift today. How did you know?" asked Selina as she waited patiently for Adam to pick up the bag that was still in the living room.

"Taraa, this is the bracelet I bought at the mall. I bought two on purpose because I wanted to give them to you," Selina said as she placed the bracelet on Adam's left hand. Selina deliberately changed the subject so that Adam wouldn't bring up the clothes she had given him.

"It's a good thing I still have the two pair of bracelets Tania bought me, so hopefully this one will save me," Selina muttered as she waited for Adam's reaction.

Adam moved his wrist. This was the first time he had been given a cloth bracelet. "I really like this bracelet. The color is simple and the design is quite nice. You're the best."

"By the way, do you have one?" asked Adam. He didn't want to use the bracelet on his own. Selina quickly took the bracelet out of her bag. Adam was very proud to have his first pair of bracelets, something Kayla had never done. In fact, she usually gave him brand name shoes or a watch, which was very different from Selina, who gave him a simple but meaningful gift. Selina pressed her hand against Adam's.

"Husband, if you put this bracelet near your mate, it will form a love like this."

"I will always wear this bracelet." Adam took a long look at the bracelet he was wearing and Selina's, which did indeed form a love.

"Husband, there will be an out-of-town event next week. Can I come? It's an event for all employees and no one is allowed to miss it," Selina said, asking if she could come. Of course, after her father's surgery, Selina would focus on work, especially this time there was an event in one of the regions.

"Of course you can go. I'll come too. Wouldn't it be great if we all went on vacation?"

Selina was worried that she wouldn't be able to bring Adam, especially since there would be many office workers who would recognize her. What if Selina was caught having an affair with Adam?
