Filed to story: His Cure His Wife (Sebastian & Irene) Book PDF Free
If only smashing the laptop could get all his work done, Sebastian would do it. But it’s impossible! Everything is in chaos! Oh my God! Why does Sebastian have to encounter days when Irene turns into a scatterbrain?
“Stay patient, Sebastian,” he said softly, rubbing his chest as a form of relaxation he could manage. “Irene must be outside the office, that’s why her work is so strange.”
He took out his phone, which was always kept in the drawer. Without needing to look at the contacts, given how often he contacted and was contacted by Irene, he immediately made a phone call. His assistant was always quick to respond, but she also often caused frustration.
The balance between them made Sebastian both dizzy and proud.
But only Irene could withstand working with Sebastian. After the sudden departure of Faldom’s owner and CEO, leaving behind numerous projects and employees who were somewhat dependent on the company, Sebastian took over everything. Every single detail was in his hands.
Despite the immense pressure, especially from his sister-in-law, Janet Sinclair, he didn’t care. The most important thing was to keep the company running. Although the strangeness became more noticeable over time, Sebastian tried to investigate while continuing to grow Faldom.
Perhaps because of these demands, Sebastian always acted seriously and matured over time and in urgent circumstances. However, Sebastian still longed for a carefree life, even having a foreign girlfriend, for example. Instead of sitting upright, analyzing the company’s progress, making important decisions, and dealing with the complexities of his personal matters.
This made Sebastian somewhat impatient when there was no one who could match him. His firm and disciplined impression, accompanied by sharp glances, earned him respect from both friends and enemies. It felt like he needed to wear that mask. So that he wouldn’t always be underestimated due to his position as the successor, and for leaving his brother behind.
Oh my God! If only he could scream and earnestly ask for his brother and sister-in-law to still be alive. To see how healthy Bella, their child, was. Instead, he was burdened with two heavy responsibilities on his shoulders. Being the replacement heir and a father figure, even though he had never experienced marriage.
Irene Rosmerry, a sadistic name, is now sporting front bangs as a hairstyle. Her straight black hair reached her shoulders, and she still wore braces since she started working with him. And what annoyed Sebastian the most was why her glasses always had thick frames. Couldn’t Irene choose a more suitable one for her face? If Sebastian were to give an evaluation, Irene’s face was quite pretty. But why didn’t she want to show it? So, she remained single.
Ugh! He cared too much about his assistant’s love life! What about himself? How many years had he been alone without a companion? If it was just women who accompanied him occasionally, don’t even ask. He didn’t lack entertainment and stress relief. They were just distractions from the never-ending routines.
“Yes, sir?” she asked on the other end. Sebastian’s hearing was fine. There were children’s shouts and cheerful music in the background.
“Where are you?”
“I’m at Time one, sir. Bella doesn’t want to come home. I’m struggling to persuade her.”
Sebastian closed his eyes tightly. “But you know you have work today, right?”
“I also want to work, sir,” Irene replied with an annoyed sigh. “But Mrs. Sunie dragged me along for shopping, sir.”
“You sent all the wrong emails, Irene!”
“The correct ones?”
“The incorrect ones!” Sebastian snapped. “Meet with Mrs. Sunie and tell her that you’ve been requested to return to the office!”
There was no response from Irene. Maybe his assistant was still thinking or who knows, but Sebastian needed Irene now. He had to finish another project. If this report was already wrong, how could he proceed with the next tasks? Oh my God! When will Sebastian be done being tested by Irene’s existence?
“Irene?” Sebastian called once again.
“I still have a functioning ear, sir,” she calmly replied. “Do you want donuts with chocolate sprinkles? I’m heading home from the office soon. I apologize for sending the wrong email to Bella. I’ll fix it right away.” When Irene said that Sebastian’s anger subsided a bit.
“Okay. I’ll wait.” But before he disconnected the call, Sebastian spoke again. “And get me a coffee, Irene.” “Got it, boss!”
A faint smile appeared on Sebastian’s face. Well… maybe this is what makes Sebastian feel that Irene is indeed suitable to be his assistant. Not too flashy, although a bit slow. Although he admitted that her level of precision when she’s serious is incredibly impressive, it makes him amazed. Maybe it was because Bella disturbed her earlier that she couldn’t concentrate. It could be, right? Sometimes, Bella’s spoiled behavior can be quite exasperating. Sebastian focused back on his work screen. The clock in the bottom right corner of his computer showed twelve-fifteen. His stomach rudely grumbled, demanding attention. “Oh my God!” He reached for his phone again. “Irene, share the mall’s location where you had fun with Bella. Choose a restaurant you like. I’ll join you. Order lunch for me.”
“Huh?”
“Hurry!”
Before Sebastian ended the call, he could still hear Irene grumbling about him. What did she say, “Crazy Raptor!”?
Was his handsome face really resembling a Raptor?!
***
Working with an annoying and troublesome Raptor-like Sebastian should be something she can handle, right? It’s not the first or second time her boss has abruptly changed his life’s direction as he pleases, right? Like now! Fortunately, she hadn’t queued up to buy coffee and donuts yet. Oh… now she has to follow him.
Actually, who is the inefficient one here?
Couldn’t they have asked her to buy lunch instead? Why should the Raptor descend from his comfortable realm? Not that she minds. If it gets congested or the lunch menu takes too long to be served, or if the restaurant Irene chose is too crowded, his mouth will eloquently give advice.
Irene knows by heart what else Sebastian will say.
“You’re such a pain!!!” she exclaimed in frustration. Turning around while thinking, what type of restaurant would be suitable for her? It’s lunchtime, right? When wouldn’t it be crowded? But this is Surabaya. Mall conditions shouldn’t be like in Jakarta, right?
In fact, she was forced to accompany Sebastian and Bella to Sidoarjo. If it weren’t for Bella’s tears, she wouldn’t have wanted to be the Raptor’s tail. She’s also burdened! If only Irene could describe her troubles. First, she has to take care of Bella, who is quite a handful. That child is a dragon! She’s incredibly active. Not only is she talkative and asks whatever she pleases, but she also can’t stay still, and her energy is always overflowing. Plus, her way of speaking is so sarcastic, as if she’s belittling others.
If only she were allowed to smack Bella, she would definitely do it. Unfortunately, Bella is Sebastian’s beloved niece.
Even so, despite all the troubles caused by Bella, Irene doesn’t mind. Holding hands with this actually beautiful child who’s a bit neglected, how can she be properly taken care of like Malika, the black soybean in the advertising campaign on TV? Boss Raptor’s busyness surpasses that of a president.
They laughed a lot during the journey to Sidoarjo. So, any other complaints from Irene were deemed resolved. Irene felt sorry for venting about Bella’s issues. She couldn’t bring herself to do it. Especially when they arrived at the grand house that, according to Irene, falls into the luxury category.
Yes, a three-story house with tall gates, surrounded by many buildings on the right and left. Not to mention the well-maintained garden. And the owner of the house greeted them with a somewhat bourgeois appearance. Wearing a pearl necklace, her hair elegantly styled, and a batik blouse that Irene believed must be quite expensive.
But one thing puzzled her. Not that, the grandmother of Bella often stared at her sarcastically. Especially when the middle-aged woman observed her boss.
