Wife To Sean
Requesting Permission

When Claire wakes up in the morning, she doesn't see Sean being next to her. Claire then looks at the clock on her phone screen which shows it at 5 a.m. "Have he gone to the office?" claire murmured in my heart.

Claire rolled her gaze across the room, but there was no sign of Sean in the room, so she got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. After closing the bathroom door, he was very surprised to see Sean in front of him.

"Why are you here?" Claire is seen turning her face when she sees her husband using only a towel wrapped around his waist with his hair still wet and instantly he regresses his footsteps when he sees Sean walking over to him.

"I should have asked. You come in here while I'm taking a bath, you intend to tease me?" Sean looked at Claire from a close distance after Claire's body hit the bathroom door. The smell of mint came from Sean's mouth as he spoke.

"I went in because I thought no one was. It's your fault you didn't lock the door." Claire sat down with her eyeballs constantly moving avoiding Sean's gaze.

Seeing Claire look nervous, Sean rested one hand on the wall and raised Claire's chin with one hand. "You came in here without knocking on the door and now you're blaming me?"

One drop of water from Sean's hair fell on Claire's face when she raised her head to look at Sean's face. "Sorry, next time I'll knock first."

Sean was silent for a while as he continued to look at Claire. "Prepare my clothes."

Finally Claire was able to breathe a sigh of relief after Sean removed his chin and walked out of the bathroom. She then followed Sean out of the bathroom, after which walked towards the walk in closet to pick up her husband's clothes.

"This is your shirt." Claire put her husband's clothes on the bed, near where Sean was sitting.

"What's wrong?" sean asked as he raised his head when he saw Claire still standing before him.

Claire played her fingers with a doubtful face. "Sean, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Sean stood up then put on the clothes in front of Claire with an indifferent face. "What?" Sean looked at Claire with an astonished face as he was about to button up his shirt.

Claire stepped forward to Sean and stood in front of him and started buttoning his shirt. "Say, what do you want?" Sean lowered his head while looking at Claire when he saw her just silently while continuing to button his shirt one by one.

Claire had never been gentle and considerate of him before, so Sean was astonished. He must have had some hidden purpose.

"Look, Sean. Tomorrow night there's an event in my office. Chances are I'll be home by midnight and there'll be an event ...."

"Can't."

Claire immediately raised her head, looking at Sean with a surprised face. "What can't? I haven't even finished talking, why have you banned me without hearing my words until it's over?"

"I already know what to tell me." Sean restyled his shirt after Claire finished buttoning his shirt, then casually put on his pants in front of his wife.

"I'm gonna call Felix and tell him you can't be on the show." Finished wearing pants, Sean walked towards the dresser to tidy up his appearance in front of the mirror.

Claire sighed then approached her husband. "Sean, I'm a new employee there, if I don't go, it's the same I don't respect my boss."

It was the annual event of the company he worked for, he had to come. Moreover, the company did a pretty big celebration. Many will attend the event. He couldn't have come.

"There's always alcohol on shows like that. You don't have to come from you messing up the show. Or you'll put yourself and the company to shame."

"Sean, I promise I won't drink there. I just want to come to the show."

Claire hasn't given up either. He must get permission from Sean to be able to come to the event. Actually, he could have come without telling Sean, only, he did not want to make his relationship with Sean back stretched just because of trivial problems.

Claire looked up at Sean. "Sean, please let me go. All this time I've never interfered in your business. I also never forbid you to meet anyone, including Helena. I always set you free."

Sean's face hardened and his eyes were icy cold. "Why are you bringing Helena in our conversation?" sean asked as he held Claire's shoulders.

Claire frowned as she felt her shoulders being gripped strongly by her husband. She could feel anger in her husband's eyes. "Sean, you're hurting me" Claire said softly.

Sean began to stretch his grip on Claire's shoulder and then slowly removed it. "alright. Up yours. Just go to the fucking show if you want to." Sean then walked out of the room after slamming the door.

********

After work, Claire goes to one of the malls near Sean's apartment. She has to find a dress to come to her company's event tomorrow night. When Claire exits one of the outlets, Claire accidentally meets a person she knows.

"Claire, it's true you're in town." A beautiful girl approached Claire and hugged her.

"I guess Wild lied to me. Turns out he was telling the truth. Where have you been?" The woman let go of her embrace while displaying a joyful face.

Claire paused for a moment and said, "Gretta, what are you doing here?"

Gretta hooked her hand on Claire's left arm. "Of course looking for you. Wild said you were here. I can't reach you. Why did you suddenly disappear without a trace?"

Claire rolled her gaze around and pulled Gretta's hand away from the crowd. "Gretta, did you come here with Wild?"

Gretta is Wild's cousin and Claire's closest friend, besides Gloria.

Gretta nodded and looked at Claire with a serious face. "Yeah. Wild asked me to find you. I can't bear to see it that's like crazy when I find out you're missing."

Claire grabs Gretta's hand and begs her. "Gretta, I beg of you, don't tell Wild that you met me."

Gretta looked in wonder at Claire. "Why indeed?"

"I'm married. I can't go back to her, Gretta."

"I already know. Wild told me, but he said your marriage was arranged."

Claire does not think that Wild already knows that she married on the basis of arranged marriage and not because of love. He was still looking for her until now because he knew everything.

"Yeah, even so, I can't part with my husband. My father threatened me, Gretta."

"What if Wild can convince your father? Are you what you're gonna do? Wild, trying to figure out who your husband is. He intends to offer you a deal to get your husband to let you go."

Claire's eyes were round hearing that. "My husband is not someone to negotiate with, Gretta. You don't know his real identity yet. Please take Wild home to town A. Don't let him find me here. I don't want Wild making a fuss."

Gretta smiled stiffly. "Toooooooooooooooooooooo. Wild is in this mall. He came with me here. He's going to the toilet." Gretta then looks at her phone ringing and Wild's name on the screen. "He's walking here, Claire. You can't avoid it anymore."

Claire's face stiffened. What if Wild finds it?

Seriate....
