He Only Married Me To Show Her That He Already Moved On

Madi's POV:

"Where are you going?"

"To Marketing department." I answered Sandy's question when we met at the elevator.

"Why?"

"Picking some files."

"Okay. Lunch later?"

"Sure." 

I entered the lift and pressed the marketing department floor. There were some employees inside who knows me and they smiled for acknowledgement. I smiled back before I face again the stainless door.

After getting some doc.u.ments who asked by our boss himself, I am now heading back to the Executive floor.

While waiting for the elevator door to open, there's someone from the same floor who called my name.

"Madielyn Davis?"

I turned around to see a very familiar man approaching with a genuine smile on his face.

"Madi."

When he's already in front of me, I finally recognized his face.

"Greg? Greg Anderson!" I squealed in excitement. He's my classmate from college. "What are you doing here?"

"The same question I am about to ask you." he smiled and he's two cute dimples showed on his face.

"Well.. I'm working here. What about you? Wow! It's been a long time, you've changed a lot!" 

I can't believe what I am seeing now. From a thin and shy type guy in college to now lean, muscular and good looking man. He's one of my best companion back then.

"I can say the same. Look at you, you looked so beautiful today."

"Ahh.. so you're saying I'm not beautiful before?" I playfully narrowed my eyes.

"Oh no, no. What I'm saying is.. you looked more beautiful today. You looked gorgeous to be exact."

I smiled as I rolled my eyes. "Tss! Sweet talk, Greg."

"But I'm serious!" he chuckled at my comment.

We were both laughing when we entered the elevator. There were few employees inside who also smiled at us.

"By the way, you still haven't answered my question. What are you doing here?"

"Oh sorry. I'm going to meet my cousin. He's also working here."

"Wow! Really? From what department or which floor?"

"Uhm..executive."

"Nice! Big time!" I nudged his arm and he just laughed again.

"How about you, which floor are you in?"

"Same as your cousin." I winked at him as I proudly answered his question.

"That is what we called a real big-time, Madi! Nice, my friend from college is working at the biggest company in Chicago and take note.. at the executive floor!" 

"Of course." I sneered proudly. "I am 'Madi'.. the ever beautiful and confident Madi. What do you expect!"

Take note, I really wait for all the remaining employees to step out from the lift, before I throw that line.

"Oh my! You haven't changed. You're the same Madi I know back in college. And yeah.. the ever proud and narcissistic Madi that I've ever known." he said while laughing and clutching his stomach.

The lift stopped in our designated floor, but before we stepped out, I give him a fake scowl.

"I hate you! I'm not narcissistic! I'm just being myself!.. duh!" I tried not to get affected by his infectious laugh.

"Yeah.. yeah.. of course, you're not!" but he laughed again and later on, I also found myself laughing together with him.

"Wait, Madi! We were an HRM student, how did you manage to work in the executive department?"

"I also took a business course."

"I see. But how about your own business?"

I bite my lip as I turned to face him.

"Uhm.. actually Greg, no one knows in this company that I also have my own business. I didn't mention my first course when I applied here."

"Okay..but business is a competitive world, Madi. How did you get hired?"

"Oh crap! You don't believe in my talent? I thought we were friends? I told you------- ouch!"

He pinched my cheek.

"Yeah, I know what you're about to say. That you are Madi and blah..blah..blah.." and he gave me a witty laugh.

"What's your position by the way?" he asked when he finally done from laughing.

"I am a PA here. Personal Assistant to the CEO." I smiled not noticing that the person I am talking with.. stopped at his trance after hearing my answer.

"Hey! Why did you stop walking?" 

I turned around to see him stacked on his feet.

"Y-You mean PA.. as in the CEO's personal assistant?" he asked me again as if he can't believe in my current position.

"Yes. Why?"

"N-Nothing. So, you're the assistant of the famous Gabriel Wilsons."

"Yup." I said nodding.

"Well.. he's my cousin."

"What?" my eyes widened and the doc.u.ments from my hands, fall and scattered to the tiled-floor. "Oh.." 

I immediately pick up the papers one by one. He also 

stooped down and helped me get the files from the floor.

"Greg.." I bite my lip as I looked at him. I don't know how to start my sentence, but I think he already knew what I am about to say.

"Don't worry Madi, your secret is safe with me." he smiled and helped me to stand.

"Thank you.. Uhm.. you said he's your cousin, I mean Mr. Wilsons. But why-----"

"Why am I not working here?"

I nodded. 

"Well.. maybe because this line is not for me. You see, I also took the same course as yours. But I chose to be the boss of my own business, rather than being employed and have a boss like the cold-hearted and serious Gabriel."

I can't help not to laugh on how he described his own cousin.

"I didn't see you the last time I went here?"

"Ohh, I just started two months ago.. uhm.. two and a half to be exact."

"I see. By the way.. I have to go. There's something important I have to discuss with my cousin."

"Okay. Thanks, Greg." 

"No problem. Uhm.. Madi, did you change your number?"

"No. I'm still using my old number." I said shaking my head.

"Great. Can I call you.. sometimes?"

"Yeah. Remember Noelle and the other girls... George and Arielle? They're now my managers."

"Wow... wait! Managers.. meaning-----"

"Yes. I now have three restaurants." 

"Wow! You're really the best, Madi. Can I have a free dinner sometimes?" he asked seriously, but I know he's just joking.

"Sure. Just go to Noelle's outlet, and she knows how to take care of you." I smiled while wiggling my eyebrows.

We always pushed them together, back in college. But Greg seems not to notice her beauty until we graduated. But they remained friends. Good friends

"Tss! Madi.. you still remember that thing?" He asked smiling but you can see the disapproval on his eyes.

"She had a huge crush on you back then. Why didn't you court her?" 

"Because by that time, I also had a crush on someone but she keeps on pushing me to court her friend." 

I bite my lip when he suddenly become serious. "I also had a huge feeling for this girl, but she also keeps on ignoring me."

"Ohh.. do I know her? I mean.. her name?" I know that he's referring to me. But as he said... back in that time, I'm not yet ready on having a boyfriend or being in a relationship so instead, I pushed him and Noelle to be a team.

"Uhm.. I'm not sure if you know her. Her name is Madi. Madielyn Davis. Have you heard that name?" 

I laughed as he really completed my name.

"Madi------- ohh! Hi Sir Greg." 

I sighed when Sandy came out from her office.

-'Whew! Save by Sandy!'-

"Hi Sandy. How are you?" Greg greeted her back.

"Doing fine, Sir. Uhm.. you're here for Mr.Wilsons?"

"Yeah. I have something to discuss with him."

"Ohh.. okay." she said nodding, but when she looked at me... her eyes have a silent question.

"Uhm.. by the way Madi, I have to go." he turned to me and he smiled. "I'll text you."

"Sure." I smiled back.

He tapped Sandy's arm before he walked towards the CEO's office.

And when he finally entered the door, I gasped when Sandy suddenly pushed me inside of my office.

"Hey-----"

"Hey you! How did you meet Mr. Anderson?" she glared at me and put her hands on her h.i.p.s.

"Ohh.. Greg?"

"Wow! First name basis in an instant, girl?" her eyes widened a bit. 

And I chuckled when she raised her eyebrow and eyed me suspiciously.

"Gosh, Madi! You're screwing your boss and now you're flirting with the cousin of the boss! Where is your conscience? You-----ouch!"

I slapped her arm and I can't help not to laugh at her scowl face.

"Excuse me, Ms.Aguilar. I'm not screwing my boss, the truth is.. he's the one screwing me and trapping me with this deal. And Greg-----"

"Wow! First name basis again?"

I playfully glared at her.

"You want me to slap your soul?"

"Haha.. No, not my soul. You're so harsh!" instead of being warned, she just laughed more.

"He's my classmate back in college." I said walking behind my desk. I put the folder on top of my table.

"Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. There's nothing to compare to you, Madi." she started teasing me again.

"What do you mean?"

"The CEO is now your boyfriend---"

"Sandy! It's fake!" I throw her the crumpled paper I get from the side of my desk.

"Fine! Whatever you may call it! But take note, you also have connections with his cousin.. great!"

"Oh, you're crazy bitch! I told you he's my classmate in college."

"Okay.. from which course?" she sits on one of my visitor's chair.

"Hotel and restaurant management."

"Oh.. so he knows about your business?" 

"Yeah."

"So what will happen now? He's our boss cousin, what about your secret?"

"He said it's safe with him."

"Uhuh... I see. I bet he had a crush on you."

She raised her eyebrow at me.

How did she know that?

"You seemed so sure about that, huh?"

"Of course! The way he looked at you. Tsk.Tsk.Tsk, Madi. It's so obvious, hello. 'I'll text you'." 

I chuckled when she mimicked his words.

"You're really crazy. Go back to your office! You're just distracting me here." 

"Wow! I'm so shy.."

"Get out, Sandy!"

I glared at her again.

She immediately stand up and to my surprise, she made a hand salute on me while grinning.

"Aye..aye.. Mrs. Wilsons." and she runs towards the door with her laugh echoing the corners of my office.

"Sandy Aguilar! You're so dead! Argh!"

I tried to throw my ballpen on her back but she's too fast and it just landed on the floor.

-'Crazy woman!'-

I muttered under my breath, but you know honestly, I am laughing inside...
