If couples would fight for their spouses the way Eloise was doing for her husband, then I belt there wouldn't be much divorce rate. If my mother had fought for my dad, or at least forgave him for being such a jerk, would they still be together? Or was even standing up for them and sticking with them even in their stupidest state all just nothing?
I was curious. I want to see how this ends. Would Peter repent after seeing how much Eloise was fighting for him? Or will he still go ahead with his relationship with Diane.
When I noticed Eloise was silent staring at peter and his mistress, I couldn't help but stare as well. I could see the way Diane's fist was clenched on his coat, he was holding her hand trying to make her calm while muttering words I could barely understand to Eloise.
He wasn't worth it. I wish she can finally understand that her effort was not appreciated. I walked to my desk and crossed my legs. Waiting for her to make a decision. When she laid her head on the ground it beats me, I wanted to know whom she was pleading for.
To help her out, I paired her up with Emily knowing she can't have her friend who is defending her loose her job. For Eloise sake, and mine as well, it was utmost importance she remained in the company, that way I can keep her close and support her in ways I can and of course prevent any rumors that will ruin my political career. I know better there was no way she would abort the child.
"You don't have all the time in the world, I'm a busy man. Don't keep me waiting." I shrieked at her and then she lifted her head immediately.
"Peter." Her voice muttered as her head veers to look at her husband.
"Please, let's make this marriage work." She muttered in pains but then Diane screamed at her.
"You cheated, how dare you want to reconcile after you tried to force another man's child on him?"
I was waiting for Peter to interfer but he was silent. He was caught between the two women, for the sake of his job, I could tell it was why he didn't want to defend Diane.
"Cheater." Diane screamed at Eloise igniting the fury inside me. How dare a whore call another man's wife a cheat? She had no idea how Eloise conceived.
"Enough. I think I know how I will handle this." My gaze drifted between then and I smirked.
"Henceforth, Eloise will be the director, and Peter will take over Emily's position. Emily will be the assistance director and Diane, will be a junior staff, taking over Eloise position. Now everyone leave my office except Eloise."
I could see the surprise in their faces. This was just the beginning of my punishment to them.
Eloise was shock. She froze on her knees. She couldn't say a word. She will be even more surprise with what is coming. Since Peter knows the child isn't his, I'm going to tell her, she was with my child.
