Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

In the private lounge of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, on the turntable, there were eight plates, each the most expensive in the hotel, with a huge head of freshly roasted veal in the center, a table laden with meat and steak, especially suitable for a dinner party.

But Estrella Berrocal didn’t know if it was because she didn’t like those dishes, or because she was pregnant and felt uncomfortable with them, and since the dishes were served, she suffered a feeling of discomfort, from her stomach to her throat.

In the private room there were only five people, Clodoveo Bilbao with two salesmen on one side and President Berto of the Fadaisui Group and his assistant on the other.

At the table, Clodoveo Bilbao had his eye on Juan Islas and Estrella Berrocal, while Juan Islas knew how to drink and did what he could, Estrella Berrocal was a newcomer to the hotel and, although she remembered what Demario Alejandro had told her to do before entering, she did not know how to convince him to drink, or perhaps she had a deep-rooted aversion to serving people with sex.

“President Berto, I would like to propose a toast to you!”

Demario Alejandro stood up to toast, and naturally the others did too, Estrella Berrocal was drinking juice, and when President Berto saw her out of the corner of his eye, he smiled and joked: “Miss Estrella, how can you not drink a businessman? Here, pour him a drink and have a few with me”.

Demario Alejandro did not expect President Berto to give him the opportunity so soon, but he could not ask for it. “Star, President Berto will be happy to oblige, so have a drink with President Berto!”.

Estrella Berrocal lied: “Manager, I am allergic to alcohol, I cannot drink”.

Normally, even if she couldn’t drink, she would have had a few drinks for the sake of business, but she still had a baby in her belly and couldn’t have a drop of alcohol, even if Demario Alejandro was going to fire her today, she couldn’t have those drinks.

Demario Alejandro looked at President Berto’s face and saw that it had sunk in, clearly dissatisfied. How come he didn’t know about this?”

President Berto grimaced, “Ah Estrella, what kind of salesman is he if he can’t drink?”.

Although Demario Alejandro and Presidente Berto tried to persuade him to drink, Estrella Berrocal was determined and did not want to take a sip, so Demario Alejandro deliberately pushed Estrella Berrocal, who, unawares, fell backwards towards Presidente Berto.

President Berto’s hand suddenly grabbed Estrella Berrocal’s and said in a low voice: “It’s okay if you can’t drink, after all you are still very young, you just finished college, right?”

Estrella Berrocal hastily withdrew her hand from President Berto’s: “Well, it’s been almost a year since I graduated”.

He raised his glass of juice and said, “President Berto, instead of juice, I would like to propose a toast to you.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, and regardless of Berto Maese’s reaction, she took a big gulp from the glass of juice. When President Berto’s hand on the table reached Estrella Berrocal’s thigh, she jumped to her feet, teary-eyed and glaring angrily at the man called Berto Maese.

Demario Alejandro frowned: “Star, what are you doing? Sit down. Sit down and enjoy President Berto’s company.”

Estrella Berrocal gritted her teeth: “Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom! Excuse me.”

She grabbed her bag and ran out of the cabin without a second thought.

…

Estrella Berrocal’s mind was clouded as she hurried out of the room, thinking that her job was probably ruined and that she might not even collect her half month’s salary, and fearing that the people in the room were out to get her, she clutched her purse and looked back warily as she hurried out of the hotel.

Estrella Berrocal thought she was hallucinating, and looked up to see the man in front of her, who was staring at her with his head bowed and his gaze deep.

His eyes suddenly blushed …

Adán Rouco… how can he be here?

Estrella Berrocal was about to ask, when a series of sharp footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.

“Berrocal Star! You have to come back!”

Juan Islas had left the room after her, apparently at the behest of Demario Alejandro, and Estrella Berrocal, fearing that she would be caught and fall into the wolves’ den, had unconsciously thrown herself into the arms of Adán Rouco.

Adán Rouco did not push her away, but looked at her face, a little frightened, and hugged her.

It wasn’t until Juan Islas ran up to her and tried to reach out his hand to pull her away that he was surprised by the cold and imposing aura of Adán Rouco.

“You, Estrella Berrocal, what’s wrong with you! You’ve been asked to keep President Berto company, and they won’t even give you a piece of meat! You’re going to lose your job if you don’t come back!”.

Adán Rouco looked down and asked the little woman in his arms: “Are you coming back?

Estrella Berrocal refused without thinking twice: “I’m not going back!”.

Juan Islas pointed at her with hatred: “You!”.

Adán Rouco looked at him sternly: “Didn’t you hear me? He is not coming back.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

And with that, the man took Estrella Berrocal’s hand and left the hotel in long strides.

…

When they arrived at the Maybach, Adán Rouco did not speak and Estrella Berrocal did not dare to do so either.

The atmosphere was so quiet that you could hear each other’s breathing.

Outside, the night was overwhelming.

After a good while, Adán Rouco looked at her suspiciously and growled, “Can you handle her yet, can you entertain yourself?”

“…”

Adam Rouco was clearly mocking her, if he really knew how to entertain, would he have run away in such a panic a moment ago?

Estrella Berrocal pursed her lips and said nothing, Adán Rouco frowned and pulled her to him, but when his large hand touched hers, her eyes deepened.

“It’s only been half a month and you’re already over it?”.

As he held out his palm, it was a bit moisturized and wrinkled, not as soft and tender as when he had been at her side.

Estrella Berrocal squeezed and cringed, “I …”.

In the house she rented, there was a washing machine assigned by the owner, it was semi-automatic and inconvenient to use, so she limited herself to washing clothes by hand, she was so busy with work that she forgot to buy gloves for a while.

“What, what brings you to S.?” asked Estrella Berrocal, looking up.

Adán Rouco grunted slightly and pulled his little hand away, “You can come, but I can’t?”.

Estrella Berrocal said “Oh”, “Since you are here on business, I will leave you your precious time, thank you for saving me right now, I am going home”.

With that, he reached for the door and prepared to get out of the car.

Adán Rouco pulled her back with a frown of impatience, “Estrella Berrocal, are you trying to piss me off?”.

“…”

How dare he, it was clear that he had meant what he had said.

In their view, they had broken up, hadn’t they?

Adán Rouco hugged her so tightly that she struggled and resisted in a breathy voice: “You’re making me a little uncomfortable…”

Only then did Adam Rouco let her off lightly, with a nonchalant tone, “Happy to leave me and live your life like this?”

Estrella Berrocal bit her lip: “Do you think I want to? I didn’t want to, but… I didn’t do it by choice.”

Not by choice?

Adán Rouco stared at her, “Did I throw you out?”.

Estrella Berrocal’s voice had a little sob in it, she had not been aggrieved, but suddenly she bumped into Adán Rouco and could not help but spit out her grievances, “No, what I said is that I did not go to the party of my own free will …. You didn’t throw me out, but what’s the difference, you found me out, there’s no point in my going on with you anymore, besides, Analena Lozada is back, so what’s the point in my going on with you … Well…”

She mumbled a bunch of words, Adán Rouco was in no mood for such nonsense and he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
