Emperor's New Clothes

Chapter 32: He's Really a Cute Little Moron

*Crash!*

Rick was barely able to keep himself from flinching when a glass vase was thrown and crashed beside him.

"How could all of you be useless?" a low and sharp voice sent chills down Rick's back.

The way the man's eyes sent him cold glares made his knees tremble.

"I-i'm sorry, sir. We did--"

His words were swallowed when another vase crashed at his feet. Bits of it flew to his legs and wounded his flesh but Rick kept his mouth shut and bore with it.

"That stupid retard..." the man huffed. "Just when i thought you were dead..." he fisted his hand until his nails bit on his flesh but the rage inside him numb him.

Rick bowed lower when the man stood up and swipe his hands on the desk.

Antiques and priceless pieces broke into useless shards but it did not lessen his rage a bit.

"I really shoul've killed you earlier..."

-------------

"Try this." Ace took a piece of deshelled prawn from his plate and put it to Alexander's.

He grinned proudly as if the teared and mangled seafood was a masterpiece.

Alexander wordlessly replaced the piece of steak ready to be eaten in his fork and delivered the poorly deshelled 'deshelled' prawn in his mouth.

Ace's eyes shined and he proudly smiled and resumed eating as if he just completed a difficult mission flawlessly.

And deep in his mind, one of the boxes in his mental list was ticked.

Feeding him with a dish full of love, Check!

All the nonsense arguments was thrown on the back of his mind as he was once again mesmerized by the flicker of gentleness when his eyes met with Alexander's.

The fuck if he didn't personally cooked the food?!

'Full of Love' is the keyword there, mate!!

"It's good, right?" doing minimal and 'not so wonderful'work but taking all the credit, Ace proudly 'ask' -Thought the look on his face and the tone of his face give off a 100% confidence.

Extreme fondness and indulgence dance in Alexander's eyes as he smiled, mumbled a 'hmm' and reached his arm to gently stroke Ace's hair.

The simple but sweet gesture brought blush to his cheeks but unlike how flustered he was receiving the other male's affection before, he just smiled idiotically and give himself a big thumbs up!

The Road to the 'Good Husband's way' is surprisingly snooth!

Is it just because I'm a fucking awesome manly man or my wifey's a fucking awesome lovely... Man...

Damn it! All is fair in love and war!

We're just a common awesome power couple.

After dining, Ace led his wife to the restaurant's verandah.

He really worked his assistant and secretary to the bones just to discover this wondrous view.

He even payed Sarah 'not-work related work' fees just so he could look for best dating sites everytime he went out with his wife.

Just where could anyone get another loving husband as him?

Ha! Sorry not sorry! My forehead is already stamped with Alexander Spade's name.

Ace leaned to the wooden railing and pointed at the crystal clear water glistening from the flying fireflies.

"Look, wife! It's pretty, isn't it? I specially chose this place because it reminds me of your mesmerizing eyes." Ace started his 20 years backward flirting. "Though i really tried to look for something as beautiful as yours, i just found it impossible. It's unfortunate but this one's the closest resemblance."
