Contract Marriage: Married to My Ex-Husband's Alpha Stepfather [BL]

Chapter 188: There You Go, Saving Me From Out Of The Cold

[FROLO]

The Moskowsky secretary group was buzzing with life, with the latest developments.

It had been a routine for them ever since they stopped seeing fear on Chairman Romanov’s face. It was something that had taken them a while to understand, but on days like these, they really did understand.

"The chairman was late and got no punishment whatsoever."

"He looked so ashamed of being late, poor thing."

"Does he know he runs this company without even having to lift a finger?"

"If I were him, I would never even show up for work. I’d just be like... Sergei, my feet hurts and Mr. Moskowsky would definitely give me a massage."

"I’d be a princess, even the food to my mouth would be fed to me."

"Speaking of food, Mr. Moskowsky ate his breakfast."

"What? No way."

"Impossible. That man has been throwing away food all month. The only thing I noticed he doesn’t throw away is the lunch that he doesn’t even know the source of."

"Well, what can I say? Chairman Romanov was there with him."

"That makes sense. Only Chairman Romanov would be able to make the devil of Frolo eat."

"Actually, it wasn’t Chairman Romanov... It was the other way around today."

"Aww, stoooppp... That’s creepy and cute."

"The chairman was nervous about coming to work late, and Mr. Moskowsky was like, ’Please share my breakfast with me.’"

"Damn, Volkov, you always get the best of Romanov Moskowsky gossip. Right from the source. I wish I could be you and get it all."

"I have bullet wounds and a long medical history of broken bones from the past thirteen years of working for Mr. Moskowsky."

"Well, shit... I almost forgot he followed you to your vacation, too. Just keep your job, brother."

"Anyway, what happened after breakfast?"

"Are you by chance using me to spy on the lead executives in the office?"

"Nope. Just want to know the progress of our favorite blind bats."

"If you put I like that, it kinda sounds nice."

"Of course it does."

"Makes me wonder if anyone doesn’t know they’re falling in love with each other."

"Rahim said chairman Romanov’s office smells like Mr. Moscow before the chairman even gets to work."

"So, he scents the office and leaves?"

"That’s unhinged."

"Try Moskowsky-like."

"Mr. Moskowsky is so whipped."

"He had me buy a parcel of land because Chairman Romanov told him to think of seedlings."

"Shit, he is far too gone."

"Do you think things will get better?"

"We haven’t been screamed at since that day we spent the entire evening, night, and mid-morning working."

"I still feel the haunting taste of coffee on my tongue to this day. Haven’t been able to drink coffee since then."

"Yeah, those two are bad for each other."

"Chairman Romanov is the senator’s boyfriend."

"There’s also that."

"Rumor has it that the day we worked a full twenty-four-hour shift, it was because of something the senator had done to Chairman Romanov."

"That’s a rumor."

"Volkov and Rahim, could you confirm, pretty please?"

"I can’t confirm or deny anything, bruh. I only know I worked those shifts with everyone."

"Rahim didn’t."

"Well, she has a sane boss now, doesn’t she?"

"Rahim, do you maybe wanna switch bosses?"

"Nope. I watched the chairman go from fearing me and Volkov to actually smiling at me, asking about my day, not just because it’s courtesy but because he actually cares. I’m not giving that up for anything."

"Gee, thanks, Rahim, for reminding me I work for the barbarian who is always one sad Romanov away from blowing my brains into the wall."

"Hold on, guys, have you heard about Milan and CEO Gamov?"

"What about them? They’ve been pretty quiet these past five months if you ask me."

"I even thought CEO Gamov would attend the charity gala since the Moskowsky group was invited and had five reservations."

"I can’t believe I’m always the one with CEO Gamov gossiping all the time."

"You always stalk them like celebrities... Out with it."

"Fine, fine. Anyway, rumors have it that CEO Gamov never loved Milan."

"That’s quite the accusation, don’t you think?"

"It’s not. I found it in one of the deleted-tabloid archives."

"Is the site where people post things too dangerous to be viral?"

"Yes. That one. They even sent videos. Hold on lemme send some."

"Damn. They are fighting over Chairman Romanov?"

"See, I told you. It’s a good thing I always come with evidence, or you guys wouldn’t trust me."

"This is kinda insane. Haven’t they been divorced for like five months now?"

"That’s what I said. But listen to what Milan is saying."

"Holy shit."

"I know, right?"

"She is accusing CEO Gamov of still being in love with Chairman Romanov."

"Maybe it’s because the marriage lasted five years and they’d been dating for two before."

"That can’t be right. Remember the day we learned Milan was preggo for CEO Gamov?"

"Uhm, yeah, I do. Milan said they’d been together for ten years."

"I felt bad for Chairman Romanov that day."

"Bruh me too. Imagine being sick and coming out of the hospital to your husband and his mistress, admitting that they’ve been cheating for ten years. That’s like the entirety of their marriage."

"That day was hard for us on the executive floor, too. It was quite the fiasco over here."

"Wait, that was also the week when CEO Gamov was an errand boy for the whole company?"

"Yup."

"Shittt... that’s some crazy stuff."

"But wait. If Milan has been with Chairman Gamov for ten years. Eleven, if we count the last year, then why would she accuse the man of being in love with Chairman Romanov after the divorce?"

"Dude, do you not have eyes, or are you selectively blind?"

"Lmao, I was about to ask the same."

"Chairman Romanov is like the epitome of beauty, man. He’s so achingly beautiful and delicate."

"Don’t let Mr. Moskowsky hear you, man. We can’t go through another twenty-four-hour work shift."

"But it’s the truth. The man is so fucking beautiful. I sometimes understand Mr. Moskowsky’s crush on the man. I wouldn’t be able to function properly, too, if I were interested in such a beautiful man and he was having a boyfriend."

"Boyfriends can be snatched. But imagine what that conversation would be like between father and son."

"Well, Chairman Romanov is a free man; already divorced."

"And CEO Gamov still is in love with him."

"My friend at the courthouse said that the CEO said the divorce was mutual."

"Yeah, that’s what every tabloid said. CEO Gamov himself even said that during the presser after their divorce."

"Either that was the truth or the man is a good liar if this video is true."

"The father and son being in love with the same man is crazy stuff, bro."

"I know righttt."

"Do you think Mr. Moskowsky will step back if CEO Gamov asks him to?"

"I don’t think so."

"Nah, I think he would."

"Mr. Moskowsky’s entire existence is to give his son what he wants. Even the children in middle school know about the most protected heir in the entire nation."

"Most protected and loved, you forgot that bit."

"Potato, potato, my friend."

"I think he will step back if CEO Gamov comes for his omega."

"The man already bought land and watches gaming videos because of the omega.... That’s impossible to give up."

"You underestimate the man’s love for his son and his desire to see his son happy."

"That’s gonna be crazy... Anyway, let’s get back to work before we are wiped off the face of the earth."

"Gods help us all these coming weeks."
