Chapter 78- Kidnapped!
While getting ready Marissa didn’t know if Rafael was planning to go home or skip the office.
He didn’t have office clothes and was willing to drop her off at the office.
"You have already provided me with an official car and a chauffeur. Then why go to such pains?" she asked him, looking through the mirror.
He was lying in the bed, with his arms folded behind his head.
She was applying a nude shade of lipstick and for some reason, it all felt too intimate. She felt like she was getting ready like a normal wife would get and he was observing her through the mirror... like ... like... like a doting husband.
Marissa avoided his gaze and kept her focus on her face. His eyes were making her nervous.
"Umm. You can go and sit in the car. I’ll be out in a few minutes," she suggested trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.
But he had a knowing grin on his face, "Why? Is something wrong?"
She swallowed hard and tried to laugh it off, but he didn’t miss her fingers fidgeting with her blouse, "N...No... nothing is wrong. Why waste time when... you can do something more useful..." her voice wavered slightly.
He got off the bed and reached her in a jiffy. Circling his arms around her from behind, he kissed her temple, "THIS is the most useful thing I’m doing," he murmured looking at her through the mirror, "But if it’s bothering you then I won’t do it."
He kissed her temple again and Marissa felt her heart going wild at this closeness. She finally raised her eyes to meet his gaze in the mirror before flickering them away again.
