Mayas POV

My coworkers are standing around facing Carina's office as I walk in. I look around in search of Mr Montgomery, he is at the front of the crowd. I squeeze my way through the crowd and land next to him. "Oh miss Bishop. I'm glad you're here. Miss Deluca is not in the best of moods. She was yelling at the top of her lungs. I am also pretty sure some glass got broken."

I set my bag on my desk. "I'll handle Miss Deluca. You handle crowd control. Get everyone back to work."

I go into the break room and get a coffee pot going. The smell immediately wafts me, making me nauseous. I brew some mint tea and pour our cups. I take a sip of my tea. It helps settle my stomach. I place my mug on my desk and knock on her door. "Enter" Carina has her head in her hands turned away from the door.

I notice shards of glass on the floor in front of her desk. I step over them and place the mug down in front of her. I pick up her phone and call for a janitor.

"Is it the lack of caffeine, or did something happen?" I walk behind her and begin to massage her shoulders.

She takes my hand and pulls me onto her lap. She takes a deep breath and hols onto me with her head buried in my chest. "A little bit of both. I think."

I kiss her head. "You want to tell me what happened?"

She looks up at me with her big Chocolate orbs and takes a deep breath. "It's really not that big of a deal. It just took me by surprise. Dean is having trouble finding the other guy, the one who killed my papa. Then Amelia informed me that the media are reporting an affair between me and my secretary. I have a press conference soon to clear it up. Normally I would not care about these stupidio rumours, but it is affecting our business." She picks up a newspaper from her desk and hands it to me.

A knock raps at the door. I take a seat on the sofa as Carina replies a loud "Enter." The janitor makes quick work cleaning up the mess. Carina pays him no mind and continues our conversation. "I'll need you and Mr Montgomery to accompany me."

I skim over the paper. "Andy writes for this paper. She's a freelance journalist right now though."

Carina drinks her coffee, then replies. "I'll have to give her a pass. Will you please invite her over? I want at least one paper to get it right. She may be beneficial to me, and she'll have all the inside information she wants."

I read the article. It's a vague story that is twisted to make Carina look bad. "When is the press conference?"

She takes another drink of her coffee. "It's at 10am. She can add Ryan for a reference."

I set the paper down on the coffee table. "You know about them?"

She chuckles and smiles. "I'm pretty sure I knew about them before you did."

The janitor leaves and Carina comes out from behind her desk. She sits on the coffee table, sandwiching my legs between hers. She speaks gently. "I plan to introduce you to the world as my wife. But only if you're okay with it." Her hands rub my thighs.

"You're my wife, Carina. Why wouldn't I be okay with it?"

Her hands go to the back of her neck. Oh No. "Because the media will likely paint a despicable image of you."

Despicable image huh. I can only imagine. Words such as 'mistress,' 'social climber,' 'bedding the boss' all enter my mind. I take a deep breath, then nod. "I can handle it. You and I both know the truth. They can label me all they want, it won't change anything between us, it won't change anything at all."

Carina runs her thumb over my bottom lip. "Are you sure bella?"

I pause for only a second. I kiss her thumb and then nod. "Yes."

Carina rests her forehead on mine with her eyes closed. Her hand moves up to caress my cheek. "You truly are an amazing woman, Mrs Maya Deluca."

I lean into her hand and smile. Carina pulls me closer for a kiss. The kiss is soft, intimate and romantic, just the kind of kiss that confirms my choice of letting my wife introduce me to not only her world but the entire world.

Short and sweet.

Do you think the world with accept them?

Slight bit of drama to come...
