Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 145 - Celebration



"Block C... Empire Apartments..." Cloe muttered to herself as she looked at the address on her phone screen and looked at the apartment building before her.

She used the access card to walk through the automatic glass doors and walked in. The security was quite strict in these apartments. One couldn't enter unless one had an access card. And the access card was granted to only the residents of the building. She had heard that since only high profile people lived in this building, privacy had always been taken quite seriously.

Fortunately, her boss had given her the access card before sending her here to run an errand for her.

She even had to use the access card to use the elevator. As the elevator door opened with a 'ding', she stepped out. There were only two units on each floor, she looked at 1801 and checked the address on her cell phone once again before she pressed the doorbell and waited patiently.

Currently, she was holding a box of cake and some balloons in her hands. And to be honest, she didn't even know for whom she was bringing this all. However, she was quite curious to know.

Earlier when Raelle left the office, she took her with her. Raelle had asked to go to a shop to buy this cake. And since Raelle had taken the initiative to buy this herself, she was all the more curious to know about the identity of the person who was about to receive this surprise. After all, not just anyone could make Raelle Xiang take some time out of her busy schedule, and that too just to choose a cake.

This was too inconceivable to Cloe.

She was about to ring the doorbell again when the door was pushed open and the face that appeared before her made her mouth open wide.

"Oh!" she pointed at Hyson's face. "It's you!"

Hyson ruffled his slightly damp hair and stared at her in surprise but he still managed to keep his sunny smile on his face, "Hello, Cloe!"

Cloe clutched her chest with her free hand and said, "Don't attack me like that with that smile. It's dangerous for my old and rusty heart."

"Old and rusty?" echoed Hyson in amusement at her reaction.

"It's been too long since my heart had beat wildly for someone, even a car gets rusty if it's left for too long. This is my heart. Cold, old, empty, and obviously very rusty."

Hyson chuckled at her as he pushed the door open even wider and moved aside saying, "Don't just stand there. Come inside."

Cloe didn't even take a minute before she rushed up inside. Her star crush was calling her in. Any fangirl would die to be where she was right now. How could she even bear to refuse him? Only an idiot would not take this chance!

She suddenly had the urge to go and kiss Raelle! That boss of hers really knew how to cheer her up. She actually gave her the address to her idol's home. This... Is this a dream?

She pinched her wrist, "Ouch!"

"What's wrong?" asked Hyson with concern when he heard her hiss in pain.

Cloe smiled at him, "Oh, it's nothing. I just can't believe I met you here."

"You didn't know you'd be seeing me?" inquired Hyson as he raised his brow at her in question.

Cloe shook her head, "Nope. My Chief only told me to follow her instructions and deliver something important." She suddenly remembered why she was here and extended the box of cake and balloons towards him. "Chief sent this for you."

Hyson eyed the things in her hand for a minute before he took it and said, "Thanks. And I apologize on Ellie's behalf. She made you come all the way here. Your working hours are even over now."

Cloe shook her hands, "No, no. It's alright. You don't have to apologize. Before Chief got married, my working hours were even worse. She always used to say if she as the chairperson can work till 10 o'clock, how can I as a Vice General Manager be so lazy? I've long gotten used to it."

Hyson still looked at her apologetically and led her inside the apartment. Cloe's eyes wandered around. It was quite a spacious apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Cloe didn't expect it to be so clean though. And she had a feeling that he didn't live here alone.

"Please, have a seat," said Hyson. He also placed the box of cake on the coffee table and kneeled down on the carpet to open it carefully while he asked Cloe, "What do you want to drink? We only have water and soft drinks."

"No beer?" she asked in horror.

Hyson looked up at her and held back his laughter at her expression as he told her, "No beer. The one who likes to drink isn't here these days. Anyway, we have tea but I don't know how to make it. Sorry."

"I don't dare ask you to make me tea," said Cloe. "What if your fans strangled me knowing that I dared to consume the tea made by their precious idol's precious hands?"

Hyson chuckled softly and looked down at the cake. He pulled it out of the box and smiled as his eyes softened up. It was a butter cake with lemon icing. He was about to taste the icing when he noticed there was a piece of paper inside the cake box. He frowned slightly and took it out. As soon as he unfolded it, Raelle's neat and clean handwriting appeared before his eyes.

'You did well.'

Just these three words were written on the paper but as soon as he read those words, Hyson felt like a gush of warmth spreading inside his heart.

Because those three words were enough for Hyson to know what was on Raelle's mind. She clearly meant it didn't matter whether he passed the audition or not. What mattered was that he did his best and he did well.

And this cake was a reminder that he needed to celebrate it. He needed to celebrate this new step he took in his life. Hyson didn't even realize when a sheen of moisture appeared in his eyes. This best friend of his really knew how to attack the softest part of his heart and make him speechless with such gestures.
