Boss Be My Wife - English Ver. [Finished]

Five

“Son, are you going home?” Nanay Remmy asked Randell but received no response from him. Randell just frowned and was about to leave the mansion. “Randell, wait! Did you and Martina quarrel?” Nanay Remmy yelled in a hurry to follow Randell.

Randell sighed and unwillingly faced the old woman. “You tricked me. You didn’t even tell me that thing about marrying your granddaughter. Is that your intention? To embarrass me in front of other people?”

He made his face look really mad at this moment. He hated the part that Nanay Remmy isn’t really honest about everything. “I don’t even know how to react at all, I deserved to get angry but it turns out that I’m just making myself look rude in front of you because you’re old and should be treated with respect and courtesy.”

“Randell, about that thing, I’m really sorry. If I told you right away about my wish for you to marry Martina, I’m sure you wouldn't agree to that,” Nanay Remmy apologized. “Because you’re my last resort for her to change herself. I needed someone to take care of Martina because I’m old enough and she needs to marry a good guy, like you.”

Randell threw a sarcastic laugh. “Is that a kind of another manipulation? Like how you did to the people living at the tenement?”

He paused and then looked straight into the old woman’s eyes. “You know what, looking for someone to marry your wicked granddaughter is easier because you have the money and privilege. And I bet, no one will dare to marry Martina because of her terrible attitude,” he stressed.

“But—”

“I have to go, madam. I was supposed to have a job interview today but I think I won’t be able to do it because you made me come here and meet your witchy granddaughter.” Randell was about to leave but Martina yelled at him. “Wait! Don’t leave because I have something to say too!”

“Your pride won’t be able to feed you. You told grandma about the job interview that you missed, yet you refuse to accept my money as a form of gratitude? Before leaving, take this.” Martina’s voice was calm unlike earlier when she talked to Randell. She kinda feels deep sympathy for this guy. She understands the way he reacts because of Nanay Remmy's fault.

“Yes, son. Accept that money. My granddaughter didn’t mean anything. It’s just her way of showing that she’s thankful for what you did,” Nanay Remmy interrupted them. “And also, please do everything to make Sean go away from her.” Nanay Remmy whispered that part.

Randell’s forehead wrinkled due to his confusion. “And who’s Sean? A rapper from the States?”

“Lola Remmy, please don’t mention Sean here! Our affair was done, ages ago!” Martina stressed to change the topic. Her face turned red because somehow, she felt embarrassed everytime she recalled that she had a bad relationship with a man that made her life miserable and even brought her a lot of trauma. 

“He’s the spine on my throat. He’s a bad guy and you should protect Martina away from him!” Nanay exclaimed and the strong fear already reflected on her face.

“Then you need a bodyguard for her, not a husband,” Randell clarified. “Nobody is going to marry her because she’s an evil hiding in the body of an angel.”

“As if I will marry an arrogant but poor guy like you!” Martina screamed.

“You two, please reconcile with each other. Martina, you should apologize to Randell because you seemed to insult him with your words.” For the nth time, Nanay Remmy interrupted the two in their petty argument.

“He’s the one who should apologize first, for accusing me that I neglected you,” Martina insisted.

“But you are the first who insulted me when we first met,” Randell insisted too.
