Twisted Marriage: Secret Loves (Gale and Shawn)
Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Gale woke up from his dream. She looked at him sleepily and asked,“What...what's wrong...” She had done nothing. Did she disturb him bytalking in her sleep? Was she sleepwalking? Shawn's face becamemore and more ugly. Gale whimpered and said, “I told you I shouldn'tsleep here. Sorry, I'll leave.” She quickly bent down, picked up thepillow and quilt, and walked out. However, she had no idea her hair wasa little messy because she had just woken up, looking rather attractive.Shawn pulled her into his arms before she could take more than twosteps. “Are you trying to seduce me with a coquettish look? I'll give youwhat you want!” “I... um...” Shawn leaned in and kissed her deeply.Gale was frightened and unconsciously opened her mouth slightly. Hemocked. “Oh, so you want more?” Gale regained her senses, and shehurriedly closed his lips. He squeezed her chin so hard that she gaspedin pain, and her lips opened as if she was inviting him. How could shekiss Shawn... They are enemies! “Even if you stand in front of menaked, I won't want you.” Shawn bit her lips till he drew blood. “Gale,you are just my plaything. Dirty!” The blood dripped from the corner ofher lips and landed on the back of his hand. Gale had no idea why hewent crazy. She could only stand with her head bowed, with no right toresist. Shawn looked at her deeply and was upset. “Get lost.” Beforeshe could take more than two steps out of the door, she heard Shawnsay, “Not that far!” Gale slept outside the bedroom door. She dared notfall asleep because she was afraid that she would provoke Shawnagain, so she stayed half awake until dawn. At about eight o'clock, Galeheard footsteps at the door and immediately got up and stood upproperly. The door opened, and Shawn gave her a glance. “Morning,Wood... Mr. Wood,” she hurriedly greeted. Shawn was very upset whenshe looked refreshed, as though she had a good night's rest. He hadnot managed to sleep last night! He said coldly, “A lowly person isworthy of a lowly life. You are only worthy of sleeping at the door.” Galeasked tentatively, “Then I'll sleep here in the future?” “Certainly!” Shebreathed a long sigh of relief. Sleeping outside is more comfortablethan sleeping on the bed with him...! Seeing her relaxed expression,Shawn became even angrier. “Follow me to the company. You shouldnot be lazing around at home!” he ordered. “Yes.” After breakfast,Shawn sat on a Rells Reyce and drove away. Gale walked to the WoodGroup. It was past ten o'clock in the morning by the time she arrived atthe office. Although everyone was busy, it was strangely quiet. Galeasked in a low voice, “Fiona, is there anything I can do to help?” IfShawn knew that she was idle, he would definitely lose his temper, soshe should take the initiative to replace some work to do. In the wholecompany, only Fiona knew her identity. “Um... He has not given anyorders for the time being,” Fiona said and glanced at the office,“President Wood seems to have eaten gunpowder today and hasalready scolded the three directors. I don’t think he slept well. Whydon't you buy a cup of black coffee and bring it in?" “Okay.” Galepassed a pharmacy when she bought coffee. The clerk was packagingsome pills, and the faint medicinal smell wafted out. Gale stood in frontof the counter, “Hello, can I please have some medicine.” “Hold on.”Ten minutes later, Gale returned to the president's office. She knockedon the door, and Shawn's irritable voice came out, “Come in!” Therewere also two company executives in the office, with their headsdrooping after being scolded. There are broken cups on the ground.Gale squatted down and silently packed up the broken pieces ofporcelain. “You came out with this sh*tty marketing plan after threemonths?” Shawn threw the documents on the ground. “I will give youfive more days. If you can't finish it, you will voluntarily resign!” “Yes...President Wood." Shawn leaned back on the chair and rested his headon his arm. The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.He raised his hand and swept everything off the table. Gale had justcollected the broken pieces when suddenly a heavy folder dropped onher hand, cutting her hand. “Ah...” Hearing the voice, Shawn wasstunned, and then he remembered that Gale had just come in. Hestood up, only to see her squatting on the ground. Gale hid her injuredhand behind her and said, “I'm here to bring you coffee.” Shawnfrowned deeply. Gale took out another packet from her pocket and said,“And... this.” “What is this?” He picked it up and looked at it, and saidwith disgust, “It's ugly.” Gale said, “It's a sachet I made. It contains afew herbs to help sleep and calm the nerves. You should be able tosleep well if you put it by your pillow.” Shawn threw it directly into thetrash. “It's unnecessary.” In his opinion, Gale was mocking him for hisinsomnia last night. She was getting to him. That was not a good sign!Gale sighed. Her father had taught her how to make the sachet, and ithad worked really well. She hoped that Shawn could sleep well so thathis temper would also improve and everyone would not be worried. Shegathered her courage and tried again, “You can try it for your sleep...”“Go out!” Her kindness was disregarded. After Gale left, Shawn lookedat the few drops of bright red blood on the carpet. She was injured. Hiseyes moved to the sachet in the trash can again. After a few seconds,Shawn turned around and made a phone call. “Have you found out whothe woman was that night?” “No...” He commanded forcefully, “Hurryup! Find her at all costs!” “Yes, Mr. Wood. We have a few suspects, andwe are going to continue our investigation!” Gale hung up the phone.He had to replace that woman as soon as possible. Otherwise, somethingwill happen sooner or later if he keeps Wen Gale by his side! She is avixen, and she is the best at seducing men! Gale held her palm, walkedto a corner where no one was around, and then slowly spread it out.The wound had closed up, and it was no longer bleeding, but it neededto be cleaned up and treated with medicine; otherwise, it would becomeinflamed. However...she had no money to buy medicine. The onlymoney left on her was spent on the sachet, but Shawn threw it awaywithout a second thought. She had to replace a way to make some money.Gale decided to replace a temporary job nearby, which was better thanbeing an idler in the Wood family, which would aggravate Shawn. IfShawn needed her, she could come back any time. Gale wasted notime after making up her mind. Coincidentally, the restaurant oppositewas recruiting dishwashers, and the wages were calculated by thehour. She went to the front desk and asked, “Excuse me, I saw that youare hiring...” Before she could finish speaking, she heard two voicesbehind her. “Isn't that the cleaner?!” “Oh, isn't this the honorable Mrs.Wood!"
