Hera was putting her earrings on when she saw Baekhyun entering the room, he was looking dashing as always in his black suit and perfectly gelled hair. 

"Just a minute" she told him before looking at her reflection as she put on her earrings. 

"You're looking beautiful" He reached around her, gripping her tiny waist with both hands. 

Hera froze as he stepped closer, pressing his chest against her back and looking over her shoulder into the mirror. Her eyes met his in the mirror and she swallowed thickly as she watched his hand begin to move up and down her arm "You're looking gorgeous" 

"Thank you" she smiled at their reflection and saw him smiling back "What's with the good mood?" 

"Why? You don't like it? my good mood?" he questioned and she chuckled shaking her head. 

"I'm used to your snappy nature, so it does surprise me to see you like that" she said and he placed his chin on her shoulder. 

"I'm just happy.. everything is going well" he said "I'm happy" 

"Me too. I'm happy" she told him glancing at their reflection. 

"Every men out there is going to stare at you like a meal. I don't like it" he said sighing. 

"Stop being so possessive, I'm not that beautiful" she said blushing. 

"Well you're my wife Mrs Byun" he said turning her around to face him "And you're gorgeous whether you accept it or not. I just hope I won't have to break someone's legs tonight"

"Baekhyun!" 

"I'm not joking Hera" he stared at her intently "So just pray it won't happen" he stated caressing her face "And I'm possessive over my people Hera, you should know that by now" 

Hera stared into his blue eyes and thought about the things that could happen if Kris got involved with her. Seeing his possessiveness today was exciting and scaring her at the same time and she didn't know what she was supposed to do now. 

"What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" he asked brushing her hair aside "You're zoning out again" 

"I'm just nervous" she made an excuse lowering her eyes "I mean it's my first time meeting with your alleys as your wife not secretary and it's scaring me a bit" she said and then realized she was telling him truth. 

After her previous party she never interacted with anyone as she never attended any business party with him again. She has never been good with people's judging stares and being the talk of the Party. 

"You're Mrs Byun" he told her softly cupping her cheeks "and God save the person who will try to hurt you anyway because I won't spare him or her Hera" he gritted out as if the mere thought of her being hurt was hurting him. 

"Thank you" she smiled thankfully and watched as he nodded before stepping back. 

"Let's go" he wrenched a hand in her direction and she smiled before placing her hand in his. 

The Party was in full swing with men talking about business and women about their latest fashion collection. 

Hera's cheeks were literally hurting because of smiling too much. She has to smile at every other second whenever someone came to congratulate her, she was feeling like Baekhyun has invited whole Seoul in the Reception Party. 

"Time for Groom and bride to dance" someone announced and she looked around startled as lights went off. 

A slow music started playing and light flashed above her, blinding her eyes for a second. "Hello there Wifey" she heard a husky voice behind her. 

Hera's eyes widened when his arms encircled her tiny waist and he lifted her up from the ground, he was swaying them both with the beat of music and Hera came to know another fact about Byun Baekhyun that day. 

He was a flawless dancer. 

The way he twirled her around, swayed on music and moved her body expertly, it felt so great. 

She kept staring at him as they started swaying on slow music, his face was looking almost like an angel in the light and she gulped down nervously when she remembered an unwanted memory. 

Baekhyun was struggling with his tie while Hera was arranging some files on shelf "Sir you're doing it wrong" she couldn't help but say. 

She heard him groan in frustration before sighing in defeat, he threw his hands up in air and gestured her to help him. 

She grinned sheepishly before walking to him and taking tie from his hands. "What would I do without you?" he mumbled under his breath and Hera knew he didn't say that for her to hear so she ignored his words and stepped closer to him. 

She made his tie for him and felt his stare on her, but she was used to it. He was intense, intimidating and Hera was used to him by now. "Are you going somewhere tonight?" he asked out of nowhere and she lifted her head up to look at him. 

"What?" she asked confused. 

"You looked like you just came here from parlor, So Are you going somewhere?" he asked again. 

Hera fixed his tie and stepped back "Yes sir I'm meeting someone tonight" she replied, fidgeting with her fingers. 

"Well that someone seemed to be special" he stated walking around his desk and taking his usual seat. 

She chuckled and tucked her hair back in nervousness. 'Why is he asking me about my personal hours? I can go out with anyone' she thought staring at him. 

"You're staring Ms Hera" Baekhyun said as he went through files "You want to know why I asked you about it?" it was like he read her mind and Hera looked away in embarrassment. 

"Sir I-" 

"You're working extra hours" he said and her eyes widened in shock. 

"Says Who?" 

"Says me" he told her, raising his one perfect eyebrow at her "Why? You got any problem with it?" 

Hera swallowed down her anger and forced a smile on her face "No sir" she shook her head unwillingly. 

"Good" and with that he went back to his work while Hera clenched her hands in fist. 

She took a deep breath and walked out of his office room, taking her usual seat behind the desk, she let out a frustrated sigh. "God dammit! What does he think of me? A working machine?" she cursed him under her breath. 

"Heraa" Seohyun sing song as she went to her friend cheerfully "Lucas will be there sharply at 6.00pm, so don't be late" 

Hera rolled her eyes and slouched back on her chair "I don't think if I'm gonna make it" she sighed "Correction, I know I won't make it" 

"Why?" her friend exclaimed "Listen Lucas is a nice guy, I'm telling you.. you will definitely love him" her friend said. 

"It's not that Seohyun, I want to go" Hera said before scowling "but my dear boss just announced that I'm working over time from now on" 

"Well that's good too" Seohyun grinned "You will get to spend a lot of time with your hot boss" 

"I would rather like to jump down this building than spending time with him" Hera grumbled. 

"Honestly saying you work too much Hera" Seohyun said patting her back "Why won't you complain about it? Maybe look for another job" 

"But this job.. it gave me so much you know" Hera smiled softly "I'll be forever thankful to Mr Byun for trusting me with this task you know. It made my life" 

"I want to ask you something" Seohyun said and Hera turned to face her friend. 

"What?" 

"Haven't you ever felt attracted to your boss. I mean he's ing hot. Doesn't he make your heart race?" Seohyun whispered earning a light smack on her head from Hera. "Ya.. don't lie. I know you must have felt that attraction" 

"No I did not" Hera glared at her friend "What kind of nonsense are you saying?" she asked in disbelief. 

"Holy hell.. are you really immune to his charms?" Seohyun said laughing and Hera shook her head at her friend. "You're something Z Hera" 

"Follow me" she heard a hard voice and at once stand up from her chair. 

"Yes sir" Hera said before following her boss out. 

"Holy hell I thought I was going to die for a second" Seohyun whispered under her breath. 

'The lift is under construction' the board read and Baekhyun grumbled under his breath. They both were getting late for meeting, so they took public lift which was made for staff. 

Hera knew her boss was uncomfortable when they entered in the lift, with each floor people started entering there and space decreased for Baekhyun and Hera. 

'They haven't notice their boss?' Hera wondered when she saw people talking carelessly around them but she couldn't blame them. 

Who would have thought that Byun Baekhyun will take public lift instead of his personal one?

Hera pressed herself against the cold wall behind her when she felt people crowding in the lift. "Goodness" she heard Baekhyun mutter before coming in front of her and shielding her from other people. He placed his hand beside her head and stood close to her. 

'He never made your heart beat a little faster?' she remembered Seohyun's words and lifted her eyes to stare at her boss, his closeness was warming and she couldn't help but stole glances at him. 

That day for the first time Byun Baekhyun made her heart race and she felt an unexplained thing towards him. 

A loud cheer snapped Hera out of her thoughts and she looked around, people were clapping, as she stepped back from Baekhyun at once. She had buried that feeling deep inside her heart long time ago but today she didn't know why she felt that same thing for her husband. 

"You fine there" she looked up to see Baekhyun smiling down at her. 

"Yeah" she smiled softly and her eyes lowered to their intertwined hands. "Never been better"

"Congratulations" Hera's smile flattered when she saw Taeyeon smiling at her with her Mr Lee "Have a happy married life" she said as she gave Hera a boque of flowers.

"Thank you" Baekhyun took the boque instead of Hera, who was still staring at her husband's lover. "Thanks for coming, enjoy the party" 

Hera saw him smiling and blinked her eyes to stop the tears which were stinging her eyes. So, he is still in love with her, she concluded. 

She didn't enjoy the party after that, she greeted people who congratulated her on her so called marriage and kept her distance from Baekhyun. 

"Sister I'm happy for you" Sehun gave her a side hug and she smiled weakly nodding her head. 

"Thanks" she replied pinching his cheek. 

Only if you knew Sehun. 

It was around midnight when everything was over and they got free. 

"Baekhyun" Hera followed her husband to their room in hope of talking to him. 

"I'm not telling you anything" Baekhyun groaned, loosening his tie. 

"I'm your wife, you said you will give this relationship a chance. How about we start from being honest with each other?" Hera argued. 

"I'm not ready" he simply replied to her and took off his blazer. 

"When are you going to be? hhh? Why did you invite her-" she was frustrated as she threw her hands up in the air. 

"Because I wanted to see her" he hissed "Happy?" with that he went out of room slamming the door shut. 

He ran fingers through his hair in frustration and closed his eyes tightly. All the memories he shared with Taeyeon flashed in front of his eyes and he swallowed thickly. 

Taeyeon was his first love and he wanted her to be happy even if she was happy with someone else but that didn't mean he would ever stop loving her. She was his everything and talking about her was going to brought back many unpleasant memories which he was not ready to face. 

Hera was his secretary and with time she managed to create a special place in his heart, he couldn't deny that fact but he was still not ready with talking about his feelings. 

'but that doesn't mean.. you'll hurt her' his heart whispered and he let out a deep breath. 

He went back to room to talk with his wife about his inner turmoil but his heart dropped at the scene he witnessed there. 

Hera was in someone else's arms, Kris to be specific and they were hugging each other with Hera saying over and over again.. 

"I hate him Kris. I hate my husband, I hate Byun Baekhyun"
