It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 38

"What do you mean you forgot to tell me!?"Hailee grumbled in quite a loud voice, but this didn't necessarily make Ramon apologize.

"Shouldn't you be grateful?" asked Ramon.

"Thank you for what?" Hailee retorted with a frown, she couldn't hide her annoyance at all, Hailee didn't even care anymore whether the servants were still around her.

Luckily, they quickly understood that this conversation was not for their ears, and after preparing all the dishes for Hailee's lunch, they left the room one by one, giving Hailee the freedom to express her annoyance at Ramon.

"I woke up in a hurry and dressed up, then now you just said that Lexus canceled today's plans, if I know this was going to be like this, I would have continued to sleep happily," Hailee grumbled. She was in a bad mood and somehow it felt like after all the stress she tried to suppress, it was her emotions that became unstable now.

Hailee herself also felt that she had become much more sensitive than usual. This whole lying charade to the Tordoff family was completely draining her mind.

"Good then," said Ramon suddenly, cutting off Hailee's scolding who didn't seem like she would be stopping any soon. "If you're ready to go, you can come to my office now."

Instantly a frown appeared between Hailee's eyebrows. "What am I going to your office for?" she asked suspiciously.

First was the cellphone Hailee received after last night chatting with Ian secretly in the reading room, then now Ramon was asking her to come to his office. Did he intend to expose her lies? Then what will happen to her?

"There is a meeting with the board of directors this afternoon, you can come here to introduce yourself to them," said Ramon.

"Introduce myself to them?" Hailee's heart felt more and more tense hearing this.

"Yes, we are getting married in less than two weeks, it is good for them to get to know my future wife," Ramon said in a light tone, addressing Hailee with the words of his future wife.

Unknown to the man, Hailee's face flushed red when she heard those words. Because the way Ramon said it really sounded sweet to Hailee's ears.

However, the blissful feeling didn't last long, because Hailee soon realized what awaited her if she went to Ramon's office and was introduced to the important people at Tordoff's company.

Instantly, blood drained from Hailee's face, leaving her face pale. "No, no, I don't want to," she said immediately.

This time it was Ramon's turn to frown. "This is not an request you can refuse," he said in a cold tone.

So far, it could be said that it was very rare for people to refuse Ramon Tordoff's request. Therefore, he didn't take Hailee's words of rejection quite well.

"But I don't want to," Hailee answered firmly.

If she went to Ramon's office and meet important people there, it was not impossible for her lies to be exposed and again, Hailee already intended to tell the truth to Ramon.

Being introduced as Ramon Tordoff's wife-to-be would in no way help Hailee make up her mind to tell the truth.

"I'm not asking for your consent," replied Ramon grumpily. He didn't like to be argued.

However, Hailee didn't know about it and after all, she was not a girl who can be managed. This had been proven many times. Her friendship with Ian alone was a form of rejection of her parents' rules that had been too rigid.

"Then what are you going to do? Will you come here and drag me to your office?" Hailee asked in a defiant tone.

Sometimes when they were arguing like this, Hailee would forget her position and ignore the fact that she had lied.

Ramon was indeed difficult to understand and Hailee didn't want to put any 'efforts' to understand him.

The two people who just got to know each other definitely need to put more efforts to be able to communicate well without returning to debate.

"If that's all I have to do to get you here," said Ramon coldly, he was taking Hailee's words seriously. "Then I will bring you here."

"Try it," challenged Hailee, not knowing what awaited her.

Hearing this, there was no reply from Ramon, but then the call was turned off after a few seconds.

Hailee frowned at her cellphone and continued eating without thinking about the argument between herself and Ramon.

After finishing the meal, Hailee took a short walk, trying to memorize the floor plan of this house, which was so big and Hailee hadn't had the chance to go around it yet.

If she had to wait for Ramon to invite her to take a walk like this, it would be impossible.

After walking around the house to her heart's content and leaving messages for Ian, telling her best friend what number he could call, Hailee traced back her steps to her room.

However, before she could enter her room, from the second floor, Hailee could see the figure of Ramon entering the house with a cold and annoyed expression.

Instantly, Hailee's eyes widened when their gazes met, as a whisper flowed out of Hailee's lips unconsciously.

"I'm dead…" Hailee whispered to herself.

On the other hand, seeing Hailee's surprised reaction, Ramon smiled with satisfaction and he wasted no time to ascend the stairs to get to his future wife.

She didn't know what got into her, but as soon as Hailee saw Ramon walking toward her, the girl ran into the room hastily and locked the door behind her.

In the room, Hailee stared at the door with eyes full of anxiety, until the sound of Ramon's footsteps stopped right in front of the door.

The man tried to open it, but of course he couldn't.

Then after that there was a few knocking sounds followed by Ramon's voice behind the locked door. "Hailee, open this door right now."

"No way," said Hailee. "I don't want to come to your office."

"Hailee, open the door right now or you will regret it," Ramon said sharply, but this only felt even more challenging to Hailee's tough character.

"What? What do you want to do?" Hailee asked. She then moved closer to the door when she heard another's steps in the corridor and the voice of Ramon telling someone to bring the spare key.

"I don't want to go there!" screamed Hailee. She then looked around the room, looking for something that could help her defend her territory.
