"Why is your face like that, Ghe? Did you eat something wrong?"Joshua and Denisa looked puzzled as Ghea entered the room. Earlier, when she left, her face was radiant as she intended to meet her husband. Why is she now returning with a frowning face? Is her friend in the midst of a fight? Or perhaps there's something else bothering her, making her look upset like this?"Yeah, what's wrong now? Any issues? Got scolded by the boss? What happened?" Denisa asked, also curious. Countless questions were thrown at her friend."I'm just annoyed! annoyed! annoyed!!!" Ghea expressed, appearing irritated. Her face was red as if she was holding back frustration and anger."Yeah, but why this annoyance?" Rio asked. "It can't just be annoyance without a reason. If you tell us the story, Ghe, maybe Denisa and I can help if you only share it properly."Ghea then looked at her two friends alternately. Glancing around, making sure other staff members were still on break, she waved for Joshua and Denis

"why are you smiling so mysteriously?"If yesterday Joshua saw how tangled Ghea's face was, competing with tangled threads. This morning, his friend's face looked better than before.Since entering the office, Ghea seemed to be visibly smiling. Joshua and Denisa were sure there must be something that made their friend radiate happiness like this."Why, Ghe? Did you get hundreds of millions in pocket money from Randy? Or what?" Denisa asked curiously.Ghea didn't answer immediately. She chose to sit down and then pulled her chair closer to where Denisa and Joshua were gathered next to their work desk."Just happy, that's all," Ghea said mysteriously."Happy for what? Tell us. Don't be stingy with hot gossip," Denisa protested, looking impatient. Although curious, her friend seemed unwilling to share the story."Tell us, won't you?" Ghea teased intentionally. "You must be curious, right?"Joshua clicked his tongue. Rolling his eyes, he seemed reluctant to continue the conversation with

"Uncle didn't need to go that far, making announcements and all. I feel embarrassed," Ghea expressed while applying makeup in front of the mirror, getting ready to attend her father's birthday event shortly. "On the contrary, I want to apologize to you, Ghe. I'm really sorry if I didn't know at all about you being troubled by some staff in the office. Being a husband, it's hard to accept when people talk negatively about your wife, especially comparing her to other women," Randy replied, looking at the female staff who had gossiped about Ghea and then giving them a stern look. Ghea stopped applying her makeup, turned, and smiled at Randy. "But, thanks a lot for standing up for me. Actually, I could handle it myself. Just waiting for the right time." Randy chuckled. "No need to bother. It's my duty to protect you. From now on, if anyone disturbs you or says anything negative, please tell me. Don't stay silent. I feel usel

Ghea woke up earlier, blinking her eyes repeatedly. Instantly, she felt aches throughout her body, an unusual pain she had never experienced before in her entire life. Bringing her hand to her lips, Ghea gently rubbed them. They felt a bit numb and slightly sore. Surely, this was the result of the kisses and bites Randy had given her relentlessly last night during their intimate encounter. Ghea then closed her eyes tightly, attempting to recall what she and Randy did last night. After a short while, her cheeks turned bright red. It felt so embarrassing because she had boldly surrendered herself last night, giving Randy what he should have gotten since their first night of marriage. "This is all because of Joshua!" Ghea muttered in her heart, cursing. "If he hadn't instigated everything, there's no way I would have been so heated up and dared to initiate intimacy with Randy first. Plus, all the videos he gave were useless. None of the styles

"Ghea...""Ghea Mariana Donovan.""Ghe woy, Ghe!"Joshua was on the verge of losing patience when he needed Ghea's help urgently, but his friend was just staring blankly with a smirk on her face. He wondered what spirit possessed her today. Nevertheless, observing her since this morning, it seemed like the girl with long hair was in a good mood."What's up, Joshua?" Ghea replied annoyed. Pouting her lips, she glared at him with irritation. "What do you want?""Oh, why are you annoyed? I should be the one complaining. I need a recap of the procurement division's documents regarding last month's procurement. You checked and saved them, right? There are a few items that need to be re-entered."Ghea sighed. She opened her desk drawer and searched for what Joshua asked for. Once found, she promptly handed over the documents."Here!""Thanks, Ghea, you're a lifesaver. Don't pout like that. Your charm might fade away.""Whateve
