"Mr. Gaist, will you go to work today?" Gaia asked politely. She sweetened her voice to make herself sound coquettish. "It's lonely without you here, Mr. Gaist~."
Clarke was utterly disgusted by such coquettish words coming from someone other than his wife. Especially after what they did before'Well, Clarke still refused to believe that he fucked Gaia that night.
Because he was 100% sure he couldn't get his cock hard other than with Gaius.
"Stop acting like a slut to me. We're nothing but coworkers," Clarke said ruthlessly. He didn't even care if Gaia would be hurt or not with his words.
And, of course, Gaia was shocked by such ruthlessness.
"B'But Sir, we had a fun night'¦." Gaia tried to remind Clarke about that 'night' they spent together. Although nothing happened other than Clarke flung her and Sitha to the wall until their bones almost cracked.
But she still wanted Mr. Clarke Gaist to look at her, "Sir, if you want me to be your mistress, I don't even mind. I've fallen in love with you, Sir. I gave my virginity to you that night, remember?"
"SHUT UP! I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER ANYTHING!" Clarke snapped the moment Gaia uttered that word, 'love.'
He was already in a terrible mood because he hadn't found his wife and kids, now this random coworker of his suddenly wanted to be his mistress?!
"You might now remember anything, but I do, Sir'No, I mean, Clarke," Gaia stopped addressing Clarke formally. She still couldn't believe that someone could be so in love and devoted to his old male wife while he could get any girl he wanted.
It made Gaia jealous, envious of that old man to have someone so loyal. She wanted that piece of happiness from Clarke too.
"Clarke, I can be your mistress if that's what you want. But you'll know that I'm a lot better than your old male wife. I can also give you children if you want that."
"You already spent the night with me, and you shot inside. What if I got pregnant?"
"SHUT UP!" Clarke couldn't handle it any longer. He was already pissed off, and now he was basically bursting out. "YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT! I AM SURE I DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO YOU!"
"Why are you so sure, Clarke?"
"BECAUSE I CAN'T GET IT HARD UNLESS IT'S MY WIFE!"
'¦
There was a long silence between them after that statement. What Clarke said was true in his narration because he truly couldn't get it hard unless it was with Gaius.
"M'Maybe'¦ maybe you've mistaken me with your old male wife? We have a similar face, right? No matter what, you still slept with me, and you must take responsibility!" Gaia started getting desperate. She didn't expect Clarke to be so stubborn.
Because there was no turning back in this, she swore to herself that she would make Clarke her husband, no matter what!
Clarke suddenly burst out laughing at that statement. It was so ridiculous because he was never interested in the visual of Gaius.
True, Gaius was a beauty back then, but Clarke loved him even more because of his soul even after he got older.
In fact, Clarke thought he was 100% straight until he met Gaius, and he would probably say that he was still straight because the only man he was interested in was Gaius.
"You really think your similar face would make me mistake you as my wife? Hahahahah!"
"W'What's so funny? It's logical!" Gaia insisted.
"Not at all, your trash! My love for Gaius is not because of his appearance. It's because of his soul. You two might have a similar face, but there is no way I can mistake my own physical and emotional attraction!"
'¦
"Clarke, I am also your most competent secretary. Do you think you can work without me by your side?" Gaia tried her last effort to stay with Clarke, only to get dismissed entirely.
Clarke scoffed as if he had just heard something even more ridiculous, "Do you think I care for work right now?"
"You're a workaholic."
"I am a workaholic because I want to give my family the best life!" Clarke said with a sneer in his tone. "Now, because of this misunderstanding crap about me cheating, my wife and children were gone, GONE!"
"And you think I still care about working?! THAT COMPANY COULD GO TO HELL FOR ME TO CARE!" Clarke yelled out loud before he hung up the call.
He didn't have time for that bullshit. He just wanted to find his family for now and beg for Gaius' forgiveness. He realized how empty he was without Gaius and the kids.
Beeeeep.
"Clarke? Clarke!?"
'¦
Mystical finally shed her disguise as Gaia. She was over with this as she realized that Clarke was truly an unmoved mountain who would never cheat on Gaius.
Despite so many misunderstandings and bait created by Master Reed, Clarke was still the same simple but loyal husband. He'd even abandon his hard work, prioritizing the real thing, his family.
"Why can't I get someone like Clarke?" Mystica mumbled as she sat weakly on the boss chair inside Clarke's office. She could feel the warmth of the man who usually sat on this chair. She knew that Clarke wasn't perfect with that old man Gaius.
But that was because they were a bad match who couldn't understand each other's needs.
"If only I can be the replacement, I can be the perfect spouse of Mr. Clarke Gaist'¦." Mystica lamented. But what Clarke said seemed to be absolute. His love was reserved for Gaius only. Even if she turned herself into Gaius, she doubted that Clarke would love him either.
Mystica sighed. She had failed the mission given by Master Ville to seduce Clarke Gaist. She didn't know what'd Master Ville do to her, maybe kill or turn her into dust.
But that was the risk of being Master Reed Ville's underling.
"I just hope that I can give Clarke a proper send-off'¦ he is the only man that can make me fall in love'¦."
