Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Inside the president’s office.

Santino Yepes rubbed his nose, but didn’t want to say anything, so Adán Rouco gave him a cold look: “Speak”.

“I have learned that Principal Olivia wants Miss Star to deliver the information on the 20th floor, but the elevators throughout the building are being repaired, and a moment ago I went to the CCTV to look for the employees who were gossiping about Miss Star, and I saw Miss Star coming down the stairs with a heavy mess of papers in her arms, looking particularly grim.”

Adán Rouco’s long, slender fingers, holding the pen, gave a slight wince, but raised an eyebrow, with little emotion on his face, and even less intent on relieving Estrella Berrocal.

This woman, who had been at odds with him since last night, would not have had to come to work today if she had been soft on him, but he had asked her to be tougher last night, and it was to be expected that her frail body could not take it today.

This morning, had he not ordered her to get into her elevator, belatedly not to say she would have been lucky to sneak into today’s elevator given her resistance today.

Seeing that the Big Boss was hesitant to say anything, Santino Yepes said timidly, “I don’t think Miss Estrella is feeling very well today, so if she faints in his arms, I think the Rouco family will be news in the North City tomorrow morning.”

Santino Yepes had already thought of the headline: “Employee of the Rouco family group faints in the stairwell after working all night”, and probably the exaggerated media would have gone further.

Adam Rouco’s dark eyes lifted, “You look like you’re eager to help her.”

“Well … I… I’m just doing it for the reputation of the company.”

Santino Yepes was no fool, he had been with Adán Rouco for many years, he knew what to say in front of his master and what not to say, and with all of Adán Rouco’s behavior this morning, it was probably because he had a fight with Estrella Berrocal, and neither of them had any intention of apologizing, so if he made Estrella Berrocal’s situation a little worse and said a few soft words to Adán Rouco, maybe they could reconcile.

“If you are so considerate of the company, don’t let certain employees pass out on the ladder and save the company from taking the fall.”

Adam Rouco’s words were cold and unwarm, but Santino Yepes understood them well enough to say, “I’m going to get Miss Estrella back.”

I’m afraid climbing the stairs from the 60th floor to the 20th floor would have cost me half my life!

…

Ricardo Prats had just arrived at the creative department and looked around but couldn’t find Estrella Berrocal, so he asked a young intern at the counter next door and learned that Estrella Berrocal had come downstairs to deliver his material.

…

Estrella Berrocal, who had only reached the fifty-third floor, was already dizzy, her heart was beating as if it were about to burst, the stairs were moving in front of her eyes like a ghost, her eyes turned black and the materials in her hands fell to the floor….

“Star!”

Ricardo Prats was quick enough to grab the fainting Estrella Berrocal and lift her up in his arms.

Santino Yepes had just arrived when he saw Ricardo Prats running downstairs with the fainting Estrella Berrocal in his arms.

Santino Yepes immediately said, “Mr. Ricardo, the elevator has just returned to normal!”.

Ricardo Prats looked at Santino Yepes: “Thank you, I’ll take Estrella to the hospital right away!

Santino Yepes sighed as he saw Ricardo Prats leading Estrella Berrocal towards the elevator entrance.

Hey, the BOSS had missed the opportunity to save a hero, and Mr. Ricardo had beaten him to it!

But Santino Yepes, as special assistant to Adán Rouco, still called him with dedication.

“Boss, I just arrived and it turns out that Miss Estrella has fainted and has been taken to the hospital by Mr. Ricardo.”

On the other end of the line, the man remained silent, and through the phone, Santino Yepes could even feel layer after layer of ice rapidly freezing.

…

Estrella Berrocal had just been carried to the car by Ricardo Prats and woke up in a daze, put her hand to her temple and asked in a muffled voice, “Why am I here?”

“You just passed out on the stairs and if I hadn’t gotten there in time, you would have fallen down the stairs and broken an arm or a leg! What documents were you unable to deliver when the elevator was repaired? Going from the 60th floor to the 20th floor, don’t you want to walk tomorrow?”.

As soon as she woke up, Ricardo Prats gave her a stern talking to: “You think I want to, but Olivia Montes is giving me a hard time”.

The Rouco family was killing her, either by kidnapping her or making her look bad, she really needed to get away from Olivia Montes and Adán Rouco for her own safety.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Ricardo Prats frowned: “This Olivia Montes, why does she always have you in her sights?”.

Olivia Montes is Ricardo Prats’ eldest, his aunt, and not much older than him, so in private, Ricardo Prats rarely refers to her as “aunt”, especially when addressing Estrella Berrocal, and Ricardo Prats is unlikely to identify with Olivia Montes as an aunt.

Estrella Berrocal was dizzy, I don’t know if from the torment of Adán Rouco the night before or from the emergency contraceptive pill she had taken this morning, and was about to get out of the car. “Go back, I’ll be fine after I rest, I don’t need to go to the hospital.”

As soon as she got out of the car, Adán Rouco appeared in front of her as if he had fallen from the sky, bending his dignified body and gathering her in his long arms.

She froze for a moment and then struggled, “What are you doing, put me down! I can walk on my own…”.

The man rebuked her in a low voice: “Why are you fainting on the stairs if you can walk by yourself?”.

“… You don’t care, put me down!”

He did that to her last night, and now he’s playing nice?

But no matter how much she resisted, Adán Rouco paid no attention to her. Ricardo Prats, who had been chasing her from the car, reached out his hand and stopped Adán Rouco: “Brother-in-law, you and Estrella are just pretending to be husband and wife, Estrella is my girlfriend, you can’t take her away, I’m taking her to the hospital right now! ”

Adam Rouco snorted, with a sharp, cold light in his dark eyes, “Pretending to be a couple? So, do you want to ask her how pleasant it was last night in my bed?”.

Ricardo Prats’ face froze.

Adán Rouco hugged Estrella Berrocal and brushed Ricardo Prats’ shoulders with such arrogance that Estrella Berrocal punched him in the shoulder with a closed fist. “You can’t insult me like that!”

Damn, who had a good time in his bed last night, he was dying!

Adam Rouco, who had never been very patient with women, saw that she was extremely restless and lifted her up on his shoulders!

Estrella Berrocal’s head was on the floor and a feeling of humiliation spread through her heart. “Adam Rouco, put me down!”.

He tilted his head sharply and saw Ricardo Prats standing in place, his eyes full of loss.

Her heart trembled, she had never seen Ricardo Prats so sad …

The Ricardo Prats who had spent three lonely and difficult years with her in Paris, she had thought, had been a sun-favored adolescent all his life, never having shadows or rainy days.
