Arranged Marriage || 37

[ - sophia - ]

The whole trip with Joshua was great and it was pretty much enjoying. It was wayyy better after we got to know our feelings towards each other. It's funny how both of us have been catching feelings towards each other for a while already but neither of us chose to confess until that one particular day.

Our relationship was going really well and I've really enjoyed my time with him. He have stopped asking or even bringing up stuffs about Jihoon too and I'm just glad he did. He's trusting me more and I'm happy about it.

But the funny thing is, he still get flustered over me flirting with him and that's cute of him. Throughout the trip, I had fun teasing him over and over. He scolded me through all of it though, but of course I don't mind about it.

I guess... I can now rest assured that I no longer have to worry about a terrible love life. I got what I've always wanted and now... I can just enjoy my life. After years and years of having trouble in this field. It has finally came to an end.

I guess an arranged marriage wasn't such a bad thing. It ended up leading me to a better life.

Lately, Sophia has been looking a lot more cheerful and of course I am happy to see her in that way. It's such a relief to know that she likes me the way that I do.

That two weeks that I've spent with her were the best ones so far and I am looking forward to spend more time with her in the future. Since we'll be working separately now, I probably wouldn't be able to see her as much as I used to.

I'm sure she'd have a lot more fun working with her close friends than just staying in the office with me most of the time doing paperworks. It'd be better for her to have her own freedom. Something she really wishes to do. Plus, she'd be happier this way

Though... I'd miss having her around of course. But it was my choice to allow her on working on her own field so I am not regretting anything.

Today's her last day working with me and I didn't really want to give her a lot of works since she have to do some packing and all. I really hope to find an assistant soon and hopefully they'd be as diligent as her.

"Wah, I'd miss it here" said Sophia as she chuckled

"Already ?? You've only worked here for like 5 months only" I responded followed by a laugh

"It's fun working here that's all. I had fun assisting you with your work" said Sophia with a smile

"Really ? I couldn't really tell since you barely put on a smile during office hour" I said to her as I was kind of surprised

"Just because I was being professional doesn't mean I hate a job" she chuckled

"Working here wasn't really stressful and I was happy to know that my stay here have helped you a lot" said Sophia with a smile

"I mean-- I had been a great help here right ???" she looked at me, wanting to confirm it

"Are you kidding ?" I raised my eyebrow which caused her to look a bit concerned

"Did I not made a great impression upon you ??" she asked, definitely worried

"You've been such a great help ! Ever since you've came here, my work has been easier and less stressful. It's a shame that you're leaving soon" I chuckled

"Gosh, you had me worried !" she pouted

"Should I not leave ?? I mean-- You're saying such stuffs made it kind of hard for me to leave" she asked

"No no no. You should definitely just go for it. You were accepted to work under Jihoon's agency right ? Don't let such an opportunity slide !" I convinced her

"Are you sure about that ?? I can reject the offer if you want to" said Sophia as she wasn't really convinced

"Oh gosh Sophia ! Just go for it !" I frowned

"I'll be just fine even with someone new, so don't worry. YOU have to go for it because I want you to be happy" I added

"You'd be happier working there. Something you've had always loved. Your passion. Your close friends. What else could you ask for !" I crossed my arms

She let out of a sigh as she smiled

"If you say so. Though, I'm a bit worried about it okay ? If you need some help, just hit me up and I'll help you with whatever I could" said Sophia

"I'll be sure to do that" I smiled

"Have you found a new secretary though ??" she asked

"Oh yes yes ! Luckily I've found one in such a short time. Lucky me huh ?" I laughed

"You sure are" she chuckled

"Did Jeonghan ssi helped you out with it ???" she asked and I nodded

"That's a relief" said Sophia

"Is it a he or a she ?" she asked

"Ah, it's a she. She has had experiences from her old workplace, that's why I put her up for the job ! It's better to accept those who have had experiences" I said to her

She seemed a bit concerned. I was wondering why but then I realized that I should've had appointed a guy instead since I'm married and all

"Are you... Angry...?" I asked timidly

"Well, not really. Just a bit concerned that's all" said Sophia

"I'm so sorry Sophia, I should've thought about it first" I apologized

"What ??? There's no need to apologize. After all, you were right. It's better to appoint those who have had experiences from past jobs ! It'll make your work easier" said Sophia

Thank god

"Plus, I trust you. There's no need for me to be overprotective" she chuckled

"Oh thank god, I thought you'd be mad" I let out a sigh of relief

"Hope she'll be a great help for you ! Again, if you need any help, just hit me up" said Sophia

"Noted !" I replied

She's such an easygoing and trustful towards someone huh ? I'm glad to have her as a wife. I mean, some people would go nuts when they know their husband's going to stay in the same space with a woman. I'm really lucky to marry her

Thank you God, for blessing me with such a great woman in life

If she trusts me, then I should be trusting her too. After all, Hansol have told me a lot about her and there's no particular reason for me to doubt her since he had always said that she's really loyal and trustworthy. If my close friends said such a remark about her, I don't think I have to worry
