"Je comprends parfaitement votre doute, mais je vous guarantie que vous ne trouveriez pas une entreprise mieux que la mienne"
"Ça sera un plaisir de travailler avec vous. Merci pour votre confiance" I spoke on the phone, before finally hanging up the phone. I was dealing with french people right now, and let's just say they are not the most fun people to work with. They were already giving me a headache, just because this is our first time working together. In college, I studied Engineering and Business, so I own an architecture company, and right now, I was negotiating to be the head of a 5 billion Euro project in France. I have no doubt, they were just testing me and I am pretty sure I got the job now. I should hold a meeting with my architects to discuss a plan for this, I was about to call Victoria my secretary when I heard voices outside my door
"Hey, I am here to see Malik" said a voice sadly familiar
"So? he is busy" replied my secretary
"It's fine, I just want to see him for a minute. Are you going to tell me he is too busy to see his wife for a minute" said the voice again. That voice sounds a lot like green's. But what is she doing here? I thought as I got up to go check out what was happening
"So what? And I don't even know what he sees in you, I mean, he is way out of your league. Most likely he did not have a choice, I mean look at you" Victoria added with a disgusted voice. WHo the hell is she to to talk to my wife like that? I was opening my door when I heard green again, her voice so strong that I had to stop and listen to her
"So what? It does not matter because guess what? My last name is now and will forever be Qureshi, and for your information, we share a house, a room and just about a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g, we are married under the law and God. You know what my point is?He is and always will be M-I-N-E kapish? Now are you going to show me the way or should I just find it myself? After all, I don't even think you are smart enough to remember your own name"

Burn. That is the first word that came to mind. I can't believe Green is the one who said this, I mean I thought she was calm, but I just realize that she is actually a tigress. She sounded so hot saying that. Oh how I want to kiss her right now. I think I should change her name from green to tigress. That will match her perfectly, or how about green tigress? I can use both depending on the mood
"Malik" her voice interrupted my thought when I opened my door and got out to find a really disturbing scene in front of me. Two security guards holding MY wife, Victoria with a smile on her lips.
"What the hell" I yelled and just everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing and all eyes were on me, except Green. She looked at me then, averted her eyes
"You, you and you, are all fired" I said in a really calm voice looking at the two guards and Victoria. I looked at that witch before saying in a disappointed voice "And you Victoria, I was not expecting this from you. Take all your belongings, and today is your last day here. Since I am feeling generous today, You are going to get your paycheck for this month even though it started today. You are all Dismissed"
I mean, she knew that Yasmin was my wife, I sent her a picture of her that I took secretly. Even if she was not my wife, she did not have the right to treat any visitor like that. And also, who is she to badmouth my wife? I alone was allowed to do that, so to let it sink into her head, I did something unexpected
"I am sorry baby you had to experience this. Let's go in my office to talk" I said in a really sweet voice, emphasizing on the talk. My poor baby was so surprised that she stared at me. I guess she was not expecting this at all. But what was more unexpected was her reply

"Of course Darling" She answered emphasizing on the 'darling' and followed me. I was so shocked, but acted like it was nothing, I want to see how far she will go, so I put my hand on her small waist, she froze at first, but quickly relaxed, or at least faked it, because I couldn't see her face as she turned to look at Victoria. I don't know what she did but the witch looked so red that she was about to explode. I wanted to applaud my dear wife, because honestly, I was proud of her . So I lead her in my office and closed the door behind me. I took a step forward, and she took one backward, we played that dance, because I could see the wall behind her, but she couldn't and bam, I put my two arms on either side of her to trap her like a mouse on the wall. Where was my tigress now?
"So my lovely wife wants to talk to me" I said in a voice, letting out my thick British accent that I know she adored so much, how I know that? When we were on the plane, she was in awe with the woman on the speaker, and that is the only explanation since she couldn't see her. She lowered her eyes and bit her lip, she does not know that she is turning me on right now. I am a man after all, there is so much I can take
"I, uh, I" I stopped her by kissing her on the lips, she froze for a second, before responding to the kiss. Her lips tasted like strawberry, and I was forced to break the kiss because of her need of oxygen. If it was up to me, we wouldn't stop. What the hell? What am I thinking, what did I do? She pushed me quickly, looking all red, and went by the door.
"I uhm, brought you mint?" She said a little quickly. What? I laughed at this, is she trying to say that I need mint, because I know brushed my teeth this morning
"I meant I brought you food" she said before going out the door and bringing a bag that I didn't see before with her.
"You brought me mint huh?"I asked again, hoping she would clarify "Are you insinuating that I did not brush my teeth today?"
"NO" She said a little too loudly "I meant you, your breath, mint" She said incoherently. I laughed at her and she was so embarrassed that She couldn't look at me. My tigress is definitely gone for now
"Yeah sure"
She glared at me before adding "You know what? I should have let you starve to death, then it wouldn't be funny right?"
"WOw my tigress is back" I said smirking
"Tigress? Seriously?"
"I mean I am so proud of you for what you said to Victoria. So now we share anything huh?"
"I- I - I so you heard us but couldn't come out and help me? That is so low coming from you"
"That is not the point Tigress"
"You know what? Whatever I am going home" She said while going outside of the door. I followed her, but she was already in the elevator. Damn this girl was fast. I kept laughing until Tony came in looking all confused.
"Am I in another universe or what? Did I just Yasmin going downstairs with smoke coming out of her ears" He asked so confused
"Yup, you saw that right. That was my tigress" I said a little too proudly
