Today Raelle had a whole new job experience. It was the kind of job she never expected herself to do. It was the job of a call operator.
Yes, you heard it right!
Today was that rare occasion when Raelle got to experience what it felt like to be a call operator. She already found talking on the phone troubleso but now, she just realized how troubleso it really was.
For the first ti in her life, she realized the value of her own phone! Even though that thing was troubleso, it actually knew its place and stayed quiet! But Shui Xian's phone was unruly! Why couldn't it just stop ringing?
To be honest, Shui Xian's phone was well behaved as well. In the whole day, he might have gotten about ten calls and all had been important. If we don't consider the one involving Ruan ilin. The rest definitely had a purpose. Even Zhai Yanjun had a purpose! That soldier called to apologize! That's called manners.
However, for Raelle, whose phone rang less than two tis a day, that number was still quite big. In the evening, surprisingly, both Raelle and Shui Xian's cars arrived at the sa ti. And just as Raelle got out, she shoved Shui Xian's phone into his hand saying, 'This thing is too heavy for .'
On the other hand, Shui Xian was quite pleased. After all, with this blunder of phone exchange, he managed to receive so many calls from his wife in just one day! That's a record! And he could really bet that he was the first one Raelle had ever called so many tis in the very sa day. And this mont, Master Xian conveniently decided to overlook the fact that she only called to deliver the ssages.
But there was one thing he couldn't forget though, the way his wife worked. Her way of dealing with business matters was impeccable and ticulous. Even his own assistants could never grasp the things she managed to do so. But then again, his father had repeatedly told him how Raelle had more experience in the business than he did. After all, he only joined the business a few years ago but Raelle had almost spent a decade in the corporate world. And she was only 24 now!
There is a saying, comparing yourself to others will make your heart hurt.
But Shui Xian's heart was actually feeling proud for having a genius wife. She was dedicated to her work and she was diligent. You could find flaws in her personality but you could never question her work. In fact, her flaws were also interesting because she truly embraced her flaws. If you tell her she did sothing wrong or said sothing wrong, she won't get mad at you. She'd listen to you and ponder over it carefully.
While Shui Xian was taking a shower before going to bed, Raelle was pacing around in the bedroom with her iPad in her hands. She was waiting for her turn to shower. She seed to be reading business news from across the globe.
*Ring!*
Raelle's steps paused as she looked at the 'devil' known as a cellphone! It rang again! And it was again Shui Xian's phone! It's beyond troubleso at this point for her.
She looked at the phone and then looked at the closed door of the bathroom before contemplating over. Walking over, she took the phone from the side table and went towards the bathroom door. She knocked on it saying, "Hubby, your phone is ringing."
She couldn't hear a reply so she simply lifted her hand and turned the doorknob. Surprise, surprise! It was unlocked!
Raelle didn't think further and walked inside. She could see the steam-filled inside the glass shower cubicle. With the ringing phone in her hand, she pulled open the door startling Shui Xian.
"Wifey!" he exclaid seeing her suddenly barging in like this.
"Your phone is ringing," said Raelle while her eyes moved all over his body. The water from the showerhead was falling on his glistening body and sliding down south in a tempting manner.
"I'm up here," said Shui Xian as he tried to get her attention back to his face. Of course, he wasn't embarrassed at all. He had gotten used to having his wife ogling him all the ti.
Raelle slowly lifted her eyes to hold his gaze and nodded her head, "I know."
"Who is calling?" asked Shui Xian.
Raelle finally looked at the caller id and replied, "ii[1]."
"Just leave it be then," said Shui Xian as he extended his arm to try to close the glass door but Raelle put her foot up as a hindrance.
"Why are you shy? Haven't I seen it all already?"
Shui Xian's lips twitched and it took him a while to control his expressions as he said, "I'll show you more. Just let shower for now."
"How about I join you?" suggested Raelle as she blinked at him innocently.
Shui Xian's heartbeat fastened and he had to take deep breaths to calm himself down as he said, "I didn't give you an invitation to join in the shower yet."
"I still need an invitation?" asked Raelle and Shui Xian nodded his head before closing the door. He didn't hear anything for a while and thought she left but suddenly, her head popped up inside as she asked, "How can I get the invitation?"
"Wife, you better leave now or I'm gonna eat you up right here!"
Raelle tutted like she had seen others doing with a shake of her head as she said, "I didn't know you're this starved."
While Shui Xian gaped at her in disbelief, she had already closed the door and left the bathroom on her own leaving Shui Xian to turn the temperature of the water from hot to cold!
[1] 'ii' ans little sister. Well, I thought keeping it as 'ii' sounded quite good. But if you want, I'll change it in the later chapters. Just let know your opinion.
