Author’s POV:

Sitting in the black leather chair, Jessica couldn’t even concentrate on the presentation a fellow co-worker was showing. She was in a middle of a meeting, of course, in a meeting room. But of all the meeting rooms in this entire corporate building, it had to be the one where she had done the unthinkable with Kris just hours ago.

Glancing over at the other end of the mahogany table where her boss was sitting, Jessica couldn’t help but think that she and Kris were making use of that part of the table for intimate needs. Her boss just had to sit there and it made her feel so awkwardly uncomfortable.

Her boss caught her staring and gave a questioning look to which she jumped in her seat and flashed a small smile before directing her eyes back towards the presentation being shown.

Oh, how much did she regret calling this meeting.

-Flashback-

Having her fingers effortlessly typing on the white keyboard, Jessica was in the process of writing a report for the advertising of a certain product they were about to launch for the company. Not wanting to forget any details, Jessica was fully concentrated either on the papers on her desk or her computer screen, failing to notice how hungry she was.

The sound of her slim fingers pressing down on the keys filled her silent office. As soon as the clock struck six-thirty, her office door opened just on time, not that Jessica noticed anyway.

When Kris fully stepped into her office and let the door click shut, he stuffed his hands into his pant pockets with his head tilted. His facial expression matching his body language, as his eyebrow rose. A sigh escaped his lips before he continued to stroll his way towards his wife.

Jessica didn’t even take note of him, completely absorbed in her work. Kris immediately knew that she had another deadline due soon. He knew the only time that Jessica would never realize that someone walked into her office was when she was extremely busy working on something big.

Placing a kiss on her cheek, Kris grabbed her attention. “Hi.” He grinned, as soon as he met her eyes.

“Hi to you too.” Jessica smiled, greeting him with a deserving kiss to the lips.

“When is the deadline?” Kris asked naturally, leaning against her desk.

Jessica took the time to sigh before glancing back at her paper-blanketed desk. “Two days.” She grabbed a sheet of paper before going through it again.

Kris frowned, knowing how stressed and busy she is going to be. “I know you’ll be able to do it, baby.” He kissed her temple. “Don’t stress too much.”

“Thanks,” she grinned thankfully at her supporting husband. “Did you clock out already?” she took a glance at the time on her desktop computer screen.

“Yes, I was planning to go home early and have a taste of my wife’s cooking for dinner,” Kris spoke with a playful grin. “But seeming that a certain Mrs. Wu is extra busy today, I guess that I can wait a while.”

Jessica reciprocated his smile. “Thank you, Mr. Wu~” she then got up from her chair to retrieve a certain binder from the shelves.

Once she made her way back, Kris wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her into a hug. A frown drooped on Kris’ lips when he felt the binder in between them. Jessica only giggled before placing it on the desk behind him and encircled her arms around his neck.

Connecting their lips together, Kris loved the feeling of her soft lips against his. Gladly complying, Jessica only responded to him and parted and letting him slip his tongue in. Liking their deep lip lock, Kris’ hands had a mind of it’s own and started to glide their way downwards until they reached Jessica’s bottom.

Applying pressure on his hands, he grabbed her rear with a small squeeze. Jessica jolted with a small yelp, earning a smirk from Kris who never let their lips part. Hitting him lightly on his arm, Jessica punished him for not having manner hands, especially when they were at work.

Their deep lip lock was cut short when a knock sounded at the door and flung open before they got permission to come in. “Jessica, we have another—” the woman stopped in her tracks when she noticed the couple in front of her.

At the abrupt disturbance, Jessica quickly pulled away from Kris and even stepped out of his hold, as she stood next to him instead.

“I apologize I should’ve knocked…did I interrupt something? I can always come back later…” The worker blinked awkwardly.

Jessica shook her head before glancing at Kris, whose hand was interlaced with hers.

“I’ll step out for a minute.” Kris was unhappy that their session got cut, but nonetheless felt happy that he did relieve his wife’s mind even if it was only for a couple minutes. He kissed her cheek before swiftly exiting her office.

Jessica smiled, eying her husband until he made his way out.

“Sorry for interrupting.” The female worker apologized once more.

Flashing her a smile, Jessica only dismissed it. “It’s okay. What did you need me for?”

The worker held up a file folder in her hand. “We still need to finalize or change anything for the product design and it’s contents. The design team already has a presentation ready for us.”

Jessica’s happy expression died a little after realizing that she had even more work to do. Taking in a deep breath, Jessica only nodded and grabbed the folder from her. After all, multi-tasking is one of the skills of being a brand manager.

“Let’s set up a meeting right now then.” Jessica’s suggestion meant a direct order and the worker of course, understood.

-End of flashback-

The meeting finally adjourned and the team stood up from their seats. Letting their boss walk out first, everyone else dispersed after gathering their respective files that they were given.

Once Jessica made it back into her office, she plopped down on her chair, not even noticing that Kris wasn’t there. She wasn’t able to concentrate at all during the meeting because of the images that were etched in her head from today’s happenings. Glad that she was given a file folder on everything that was talked about in the meeting, she opened it up and started to go through it.

“You’re meeting ended already?” Kris’ voice sounded out as he walked back into his wife’s office.

Jessica lifted her head up from the papers and noticed her husband walking in with a drink and plastic bags in his hands. When she had to attend the small meeting, Kris told her that he’d hang around and occupy himself. He was free and unstressed like Jessica because his job only gets hectic after the launch.

Nodding her head, she answered his question. “Where’d you go?” Jessica eyed the items he was holding.

“I went out to buy food and coffee.” Kris took a seat in front of her desk and placed the cup of coffee in front of her. “I can tell you’re going to be staying up late.”

Taking note of the time, Jessica realized that an hour at passed and they stayed here longer than expected. It was now seven-thirty and the fact that Kris already knew that she wouldn’t have enough energy to cook at home made her feel apologetic. She couldn’t fulfill her husband’s wish of eating her home cooked meal.

“Sorry,” Jessica apologetic. “But thank you for getting me coffee.” She leaned over and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

Already knowing what she was apologizing for, Kris didn’t say a word but only smiled. He loved how hard working his wife is and the fact that she is so dedicated to the things she does makes his adoration for her even bigger than it already is.

The ended up having dinner at the office while Jessica got most of her work done. The two decided that it was time to leave when the clock stuck 9pm.

Getting in bed that night, Kris saw that his wife was sitting on her side of the bed, on her laptop. Not wanting to bother her while she’s working, Kris ended up playing around on his phone.

Occasionally, Jessica would speak up and ask Kris for opinions about their products, as she needed a consumer’s perspective. But other than that, Kris didn’t speak up in fear that he’d distract her.

Losing all interest in playing with his phone, Kris put it aside and tried to find something better to do. He had to admit; not being able to play around with his wife while she’s working did have its cons. Where was Tao when he needed him to accompany him?

Ending up just laying down and staring at his wife from his angle, Kris couldn’t contain the smile on his face. Jessica’s natural beauty shined, even under her glasses that she rarely wore. This was another image of his wife that he had a new attraction to. He loved every single aspect of Jessica at the moment. From the gorgeous way she sat on the bed to the way her eyebrows scrunched every time she thought deeply, Kris just couldn’t help but marvel at her.

His extreme interest soon died down as time had passed and it was now midnight. They had to wake up early tomorrow and sleeping past midnight wasn’t going to help at all. Reaching over and turning off the lamp on his side of the bed, Kris then got up and scooted himself next to his wife.

“Are you almost done?” he asked, wrapping his arm around her waist.

Jessica nodded her head. “Just a little bit more and the report would be done.”

“Can it wait till the morning? Its midnight, babe.” Kris kissed her. “Let’s sleep. We have wake up early tomorrow.”

“Five more minutes.” She reasoned, pecked his lips.

Kris accepted her request and slid himself back down the duvet, continuing to tiredly watch his wife work from the sidelines. Flipping the bed sheets over her bare legs, Kris didn’t want her to get cold. He ran his fingers over her cool skin, admiring her smooth milky legs as he let time pass.

Before they knew it, ten minutes flew by and Kris almost forgot to tell Jessica. “Jung Sooyeon, it’s been over five minutes. Get your into bed before I do it for you.” He used her real birth name, trying to sound more demanding.

“I’m almost done…just a little longer, okay?” Jessica looked pleadingly with her doe eyes.

Kris wasn’t thinking about backing down but now that his wife was pulling out her innocent charms, he couldn’t help but give in.

“Fine. Twenty minutes max.” he bargained, making Jessica nod her head.

With Jessica at close distance, Kris found himself drifting off into sleep from time to time, but only to jar awake when he knew that Jessica wasn’t completely in his arms. His actions didn’t go unnoticed by Jessica, as she would occasionally run her hand through his hair gently to soothe him.

Not knowing how long he’s been struggling to stay awake, Kris lost track of time and when he finally got a glance at the clock, he saw that it was one-thirty in the morning. His eyes widened and his eyes locked onto his still working wife.

Without any hesitation, Kris got up and leaned close into Jessica’s face. “Sleep. Now.” His tired face told it all.

“But—”

“Now, Jung Sooyeon.” He cut her off, closing her laptop in the process.

“Sorry, Wu Yifan.” Jessica grinned before setting everything down on the nightstand before turning off the remaining light.

Squirming herself under the duvet, Kris immediately pulled her into his arms. The two snuggled with each other before feeling comfortable.

“Goodnight, Mr. Grumpy.” Jessica playfully kissed his cheek.

“Night, Mr. Grumpy’s wife.” Kris bid her goodnight as well with a deserving kiss to the lips.

In all honesty, Jessica had finished her work even before midnight. She thought she had some time to spare so she decided to surf the web. Since Kris never bothered to look at her laptop screen, it was safe for her to look anything up freely. When she got to look at recipes, Kris already wanted her to go to sleep for the third time already. She didn’t want to stop her searching midway so she asked for more time. To her luck, Kris didn’t even spare a single glance at her screen.

Little did her husband know, Jessica was planning for his upcoming birthday.
