Chapter 7: Chapter 7

"Morning!!"

A morning greeting caused Leo to blink and look at his side, although it had been more than a few weeks but alana's presence when she first opened her eyes made him more unfamiliar. As now, by alana's engaging in his sleep on Leo's arm and embracing him tightly, Leo does not know from when they are so close, because of his knowledge before they go to sleep, Leo will restrict their distance by involving a log and some pillows so that alana does not come near even though Leo is unsure how to actually succeed.

Leo's fantasy comes to a stop as alana picks up her blouse and puts on her robe, Leo is still silent and continues to watch alana tie her hair, without Leo realizing that her eyes were watching her from top to bottom, Leo misjudged alana the first time he saw her,

"Would you like to take a shower now? I'll prepare the hot water. "Alana blurted out Leo immediately to dismiss his gaze andan awkward clears his throat.

"Yes" Leo responded briefly with a blush face and it didn't escape alana's vision, Leo remembered vividly alana's confession that her first love was her own and it put a little relief in Leo's heart that Leo might not have noticed. Alana walks over to the side of the bed and seats herself next to Leo,

"Why? "Leo asked for a casual approach, but alana still looked at him with a menacing smile and Leo had to start being alert.

"Weren't you going to prepare warm water" Leo said back

"Yeah, but I'm a little weak this morning? "Alana answered while massaging her back, did she hurt, no, judging by her face she was fine thinking Leo

"Then have the waiter prepare it for you. "Leo answered

"No, I'll go ahead with the pitch, but I think I need your help," alana said Leo raising his eyebrows.

"If I could, I wouldn't even have to ask you to," Leo blurted out and made alana giggle.

Ah, she's a bit of a sane woman, Leo

"You could give me a little strength. "Alana's reply caused Leo to squander even more his eyes began to second-guess the insanity of the woman's mind in front of him.

"Give me my morningkiss."

Binggo,

Can't even guess.

"Hey put your dirty mind away, it's too early."

"Ck you're so mean, wouldn't it be normal for a wife to ask for such a thing" alana snarled with her frown on her face

"Forget it, and get out of here, or I'll have the waiter be prepared" threatened Leo, making alana stand in the moment.

"Well, you're cheap, I'm just asking for my morning slot, how about if I ask for half of your net worth, you'll kick me out" alana blurted out, but Leo just ignored her and instead wagged his hand telling alana to leave

You cold-hearted son of a bitch.

But before alana actually went, alana humbled her body and with a quick movement to mask Leo's face in a visible shock and pressed their lips, alana flattened Leo's lips quickly before she came to her senses and kicked alana's face in. Alana immediately withdrew and ran into the bathroom leaving Leo with her face speechless and her ears flushed.

Alana closed the bathroom door and leaned her back against the leaf.

"I feel like a mischievous woman who takes away a man's virtue. "Alana muttered with a giggling glance at Leo's frozen face, no doubt by now would be enough words for him to yell at her, and alana wouldn't care if being his wife Leo's harsh words were his daily meal.

Alana stood in the doorway of her arms and watched the two people in front of her.

"Honey, I can help you. "Alana's remarks made Leo immediately raise his hand to mean that alana should not say a word.

"But I want to help you. "Alana's vague comments came whining, causing the middle man to tie his tie to Leo to stop her movement

"Go ahead, pedro, ignore the woman" Leo said indifferently

"But tying a tie is a wife's duty not a secretary. "Alana's murmuring was ignored by the two men in front of her.

After his work was done, pedro tried to push Leo's wheelchair but alana tried to stop him again.

"Let me do it."

"No, didn't you hear me? Don't come within a two-meter radius." Leo said, making alana

"Are you really mad just because I took my rations this morning. "Alana's exasperation made Leo snap his eyes and stare directly at pedro, lest the secretary think anything of him over the ravings of the woman who is now his wife.

"Stay away." Leo said

"Hah you're really like a child, well I'm sorry, where a husband gets angry just because his wife kisses him" alana grunts while running ahead of Leo and pedro.

Leo berdecih saw alana's behavior and then turned to pedro's mischievous smile.

"Put your stupid smile off pedro," Leo irritates him, making him want to add to his taunts.

"What is on my schedule today? "Said Leo in the middle of his breakfast

"Today you have a meeting with the board of directors and some clients, and there is also some problem with the big madam. "Pedro's words made Leo immediately stop his breakfast

"What's wrong?"

"In a recent year the bakery that we have managed has shown no increases, even some branches have to close down, only the central store has survived now because there are only a few regular customers that madame madame has survived, if the situation continues I am not sure the center store will survive" explains pedro

"I don't want the shop to close, no matter what happens, won't it be easy to solve pedro's little cupcake problem?"

"True, but our Lord needs it."

"Do whatever it takes, I want it in the right place" Leo said.

While alana was quietly listening to their conversation, alana believed the bakery they were discussing must have been crucial to Leo, being evident in Leo's reaction that she didn't want to lose it.

Of course, it was the store that his late mother built, Leo's mother loved a great variety of cookies, even though her husband was a wealthy businessman but Leo's mother pioneered the shop on her own without asking him for any help, and so Leo confidently defended the small bakery that his late mother loved. But pedro's little difficulty in sustaining Leo would be futile if no one really wanted to maintain it the way his late mother did.

"We need someone who can actually manage it straight, Sir." says pedro, making Leo exhale violently

"I can't trust my mom's shop at just anyone pedro"

"But Sir, that's the only way out."

"I'll do it. "Alana's cut made Leo and pedro look over at her.

"I'll manage that bakery" alana continues with her serious face.
