Tsundere President Daring wife

"My new terms" He answered with a Stoic face.

Gisele rolled her eyes and right before his eyes, she tore the papers into two. Dumping them on the floor like a pile of rubbish that they were.

"You_" for the first time in his life, Devon was stunned speechless. A looked at the girl tearing the papers without a care to his presence and an anger he had never felt before rose from his bowels.

"It seems I didn't make myself clear to you before. My Terms are that there would be no term. This marriage from here henceforth would be what it was always meant to be, A marriage of convenience. I would be your wife till you're able to convince your parents about your girlfriend and after that I would be given my total freedom but until then... I would have no say in your life and you would absolutely have no say in my life either. We would live like total stranger, if anything different, like roommates coexisting for a period of time. I would do what I want and so would you." She said brazenly, even taking slow steps towards him.

Marriage of convenience?

Devon brows furrowed "you must be dreaming!"

"How come? You said so yourself that I was your wife in name so how is it that it's you who is trying to tie me down now? Do you even love your girlfriend like you claim? She's been locked up for a week and you aren't doing what it takes to save her. Perhaps you don't really love her as you claim" Devon's eyes darkened and an undescribable expression took over his face.

Like they had run short of words, the two of them stood there staring at each other in total silence. The sound of their slow uneven breathing filled the room and both their ears. The involuntarily action of taking adept notice of their fellow selves occured in their sense.

After what felt like hours, Gisele walked to her table and pulled out a single paper from amongst the stack of books on the table. Then she walked closer to him. In the back of her mind, she had considered he would make a mess of the contract she initially gave him so she had made a different and concise version of the contract she wanted him to sign.

"Enough dilly-dallying. Sign it and we could both have what we want." She said and handed the paper to him.

His eyes scanned the paper first and then a layer of frost emanated from his body. The room which was initially already cold from the arrival of winter became even more cold. His gaze was all that was needed to send mad shivers down Gisele's spine, still she stood her ground and continued flashing the paper before his eyes.

In a flash, his thin long fingers stretched forward and took the paper off her hands. He gave her a hard stare before he turned and walked out.

Gisele's legs finally gave way, releasing her body to the floor when he left the room. She had really been scared, it took a lot of sheer will and determination to not show her fear in front of him. Her back was totally drench with her own cold sweat.

In the end thank god he eventually agreed with her. Whether under durex or out of his own accord, all that matter was the point that he was going to sign the contract.

In high spirits, she proceeded with her plan of video calling Aunty Claudia. Her hair still dripping water, she placed the call in front of her and went ahead with drying her hair with a towel.

"Xiao G!" The woman's excited voice immediately filled the room when the call connected.

"Aunty Claudia" Gisele replied back in harmony. She looked at the screen and couldn't help but see the serious activity going on behind the woman.

"Is this a bad time?"

Claudia shook her head vigorously "I'm at Madison's place, we are planning a brunch with some few socialites. Why don't you come over? Are you back in the country?" She asked straining her yes to check out the girl's surrounding from the phone camera. The half of the room she could see gave off this exotic hotel suite look. Every furniture in the room looked simple but were actually branded pieces of furniture that would cost an exorbitant price. The type one would see in a presidential suite. Claudia had been to a few so she could tell from just a single glance. She just assumed the girl was still abroad.

But why did this room layout look familiar?

On noticing the woman's staring, Gisele didn't move to block her. She had had confidence calling the woman on video call these past days cause she also felt the exotic room would furnish her lie of being abroad.

"I'm not back yet but should be back in a while" she replied cheering in her heart. Since Devon had received her contract, she was sure he would sign it very soon.

"Come back quickly Xiao G, I want you to accompany me somewhere okay?" Gisele agreed and assured the woman she would be back soon. If only Claudia knew where she was at the moment, she would probably be glad she had a reason to always drag the girl out everytime.

"Sure" Gisele chuckled.

"Ahh Madison is here, do you want to say hello?" She was already turning the phone screen as she asked this.

Say hello to the Vice President's wife? Even if Gisele was going to say no the woman's face was already showing on the screen, how could she refuse?

"Good afternoon ma'am. How is your day going? " The polite greeting left her mouth before she could even think of it.

The woman's face showed a displeased look. Gisele immediately became tensed. Why was the woman looking at her like she had said something wrong?

"I'm not that older than your Aunty Claudia, so why do you call me Ma'am? Are you being biased?"

Gisele: "..."

It took Gisele a few more seconds to understand the woman's words and when she finally did, she could not believe her ears. Did she hear it wrong or was this woman asking her to call her Aunty?

Calling the Vice President's wife, Aunty? Haa! how did her luck get this good. She must have been kissed by the goodluck fairy.

Even though she understood the woman's words well, she didn't instinctively call her Aunty. She showed a complicated look and gave an awkward smile.

"Young Lady just call me Aunty from now on okay?"

"Okay ma_ I mean Aunty" Gisele replied gingerly. She might have called her Aunty but her tone still sounded like she was talking to her boss.

"I heard you are out of the country?" The woman asked.

"Yes Aunty. I'll be back soon though" She felt bad lying to the two women but she had no choice. Nobody would find it okay to hear that she was in a marriage of convenience. What was Marriage of convenience? Nobody would even believe it. Their summaries would just be that she was a kept mistress for a married man.

"That's good. Come spend time with me when you're back"

"Madison stop trying to poach my people" Gisele heard Claudia's voice from the background of the video call. A subtle chuckle escaped from her lips. In the end the phone was yanked back even before she could give Madison a reply. Claudia's paranoid face came in view and her hawk like eyes.

"Don't listen to her Xiao G, you'll spend time with me first when you're back okay?"

"okay Aunty" Gisele replied back with a smile. She lifted her eyes and unexpectedly caught the slim figure fiddling with the barbecue machine at one end of the phone. He looked like he was fiddling whereas, one could see the level of skill and efficiency he had as his thin fingers softly moved over the machine turning the piece of rare expensive steak, whilst also adjusting the fire with the other hand. His brows were locked in a slim straight line, his lips too. He seemed to be looking at the meats on fire with strong seriousness, it almost felt like they were a document on a billion dollar contract to save planet Earth.

Handsome.

Even if it was for only a few seconds, Gisele was lost in appreciating the handsomeness of the young man. Unexpectedly, Robert caught the girl's gaze, he elbowed his friend, whose attention was solely on the pieces of meat being barbecued. Harold shot him a glare not understanding why he had been hit, it didn't take him long to understand what Robert was hinting. He followed his friend's gaze and finally saw the head of burnt brown hair peeking out of the phone screen.

His eyes unknowingly lit up to some level. A trace of delight flashed through his eyes. Then he settled to stare at the face on the phone.
