It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 64

"If you keep acting like this, I won't believe it even when you say the right thing," Ramon chided Hailee for her exaggerated reaction.

However, the girl then raised her head and brushed off Ramon's hand. "I was telling the truth, when Aileen slapped me, it was like I saw stars and my vision turned dark for a moment."

"So it was Aileen who slapped you and not Roland?" Ramon caught Hailee's words quickly.

Oops!

Hailee accidentally spilled this little lie of hers.

"After all, I was beyond annoyed. He said that you couldn't possibly like me if it weren't for my status in the Tatum family and said that I had lied to you by pretending to be your lover," grumbled Hailee.

Hearing this, Ramon gave no response.

"He also said that you wouldn't come and bother spending your time on a girl like me," Hailee said.

"Actually, some of his words are correct," said Ramon.

And deep in her heart, Hailee agreed. Ramon wouldn't be here if it weren't for he needed Hailee to take over her family company and the fact that Hailee lied to Ramon, then admitted to being his lover, were all indisputable facts.

But, why did it all sounded different when Roland said it?

"Come here," Ramon said as he saw Hailee's gloomy face. He then put his palm on Hailee's cheek and pushed her to lean back on his shoulder. "Don't let your emotions control you, it will be difficult for you to think clearly and plan your next steps."

Hailee listened to Ramon's voice, which was so comfortable in her ears, even though she didn't really understand what this man meant because her mind couldn't work with him around, but Hailee was quite happy that Ramon treated her gently.

"I left my cell phone at the old man's house!" Hailee said in a surprised tone. She only realized now that they had come far enough.

"You can get out of the car and get it if you want," Ramon said, offering. "Because I don't want to go back there again."

Hailee then relaxed again and moved her body, finding a comfortable position in Ramon's arms. "No need, I can ask my kind-hearted future husband to buy me a new cell phone."

Ramon's touch on her cheeks and his fragrance made Hailee feel so calm and secure. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

==============

Hailee woke up when she felt like she was being carried and the bright light shining on her eyes.

Sleepy, Hailee tried to open her eyes and look around her.

"Where is this?" Hailee asked in a hoarse voice.

"In my office," said Ramon, his voice so close, indicating that he was the one carrying her. "I have something to work on for a while, you can wait inside first."

There were things Ramon had to do in his office and all of it was delayed because he had to go to town R and find Hailee.

And since Ramon could not possibly leave Hailee alone in the car, he chose to bring her to his office.

"Can't you just do it tomorrow?" Hailee asked in a sleepy voice, she didn't get off Ramon's arms because the man didn't let her go either when they got into the elevator, which took the two of them straight to Ramon's office on the eighteenth floor.

"Can't," said Ramon.

When the elevator doors opened, the lights in Ramon's office automatically turned on, only then did Ramon lower Hailee from his arms.

"There are ice cubes in the refrigerator, you can use them to lessen the swelling on your face," Ramon said as he walked toward his desk. "If you want to sleep, you can use that room."

Ramon pointed to a door in the corner, which was almost inconspicuous, camouflaged by the bookshelves lined up on either side of it.

It was a room where Ramon could rest and had the same facilities as a normal room with a bathroom inside.

Hailee knew about rooms like this, because her father had them in his office too.

"Okay," Hailee said, linking her index finger and thumb signaling that she understood, then walked over to the sink and put an ice cube in the compress and pressed it against the side of her sore face.

After that, Hailee went looking for something to eat, because she really hadn't eaten all day and it seemed Ramon was too busy right now to notice whether she had eaten or not.

Or that was simply Ramon's usual character. He didn't really care about other people.

Since today Ramon had been so nice to her, Hailee didn't want to bother the man and tried to find something to fill her stomach, but she found nothing to eat except a few cans of drinks.

Not finding anything, Hailee then took an ice cube and ate it and went into the room to sleep while Ramon finished whatever business he had to finish tonight.

==============

Two hours had passed and what Ramon was working on was almost done, but then he thought of Hailee and felt strange not hearing a sound.

Is the girl sleeping again?

Curious, Ramon walked into the room and found Hailee who had been sleeping in an uncomfortable position with the compress that she had left against her cheek.

Seeing this, Ramon came into the room and corrected the sleeping position of this girl, otherwise she would wake up with a new pain.

"Are you done?" Hailee muttered half-consciously with her eyes still closed as Ramon lifted her up, not careful enough to keep her asleep.

"In a moment," Ramon said, who then adjusted the pillow beneath Hailee's head before pulling the blanket over her chin.

"Take a break first…" Hailee muttered, as she pulled Ramon's hand. Actually, her grip wasn't strong enough to keep the man there, but in the end Ramon didn't go anywhere and lay down beside her.

Only five minutes ...

Ramon said to himself.

His body only felt so tired when he was in a comfortable bed, with Hailee who returned to sleep soundly beside him.

Seeing Hailee's regular breathing lulled Ramon, and drowsiness attacked him.

For as long as Ramon could remember, putting aside the memories he had lost over the past four years, he had never been this close to any woman and having Hailee beside him was both strange and interesting for him.

Especially when this girl brought not only profits to his business, but also a breath of fresh air in his life.
