It had been a week since Anna had last seen Vincenzo and she was eager to see him since it was the day he was supposed to come back.
Every time she thought of him all she got were flashbacks of the last night she had seen him. She smiled to herself but it didn't go unnoticed.
Raul who was watching her wondered what it was she had remembered. It was on rare occasions that he ever saw her smiling.
He knew that she wasn't happy with Vincenzo, everyone knew they just never figured out why she was married to him if he made her that unhappy.
They reached the company and just like always he told her to have a nice day ahead and she left.
Even after working there for two months Anna was not yet used to the people there. It seemed like none of them liked her except the females and wondered what it was.
It was definitely but because gave her the time of day because he didn't if anything was meaner to her at work.
As she made her way to her desk she saw someone enter Vincenzo's office and wondered why, given the fact that Vincenzo wasn't back yet.
She put her purse on her desk and walked over to Vincenzo's office and opened it without knocking.
The stares that she got could not explain the embarrassment she felt but that embarrassment went away soon enough as her face was covered in confusion but the faces inside the office.
Vincenzo was seated in his chair and opposite him was Me Suarez.
Vincenzo could see the confusion on Anna's face so he decided to speak.
"Good morning Anna I presume that you've met Mr. Suarez before so there's no need for an introduction ", he said as he chuckled and Anna relaxed a bit.
"Yeah there's no need ", said Mr. Suarez as he returned his focus to Vincenzo.
"We were talking about him bringing his business to us so if you'll please excuse us and make sure no one enters my office ", Vincenzo said as he dismissed Anna.
Anna turned around and left his office and went to the washrooms.
She could not believe him. After he had made it look like the company did not need to do business with the man now he was taking her opportunity from her.
She had been stupid to think that he even considered her to be serious in the business even for a second.
He had made her look like a fool in front of the man which even made the man think that his solution had been for the best.
He looked at herself in the mirror and was glad that for the first time, no tears were trying to escape with a minor inconvenience.
She sighed as she tried to calm herself down but the rage she felt wasn't going to subside anytime soon.
A day had been ruined just like that, a day she had been looking forward to.
She forced a smile on her face and left the washroom and made her way to her desk and there he was, Vincenzo.
She made her way to where he was and he turned the moment he saw her.
"Hello ", he said.
"Hello, is there anything I can do for you ?" she asked him.
"Yes I want you to prepare a contract for me", he said and turned to leave.
"Did you even think of telling me that Mr. Suarez had reached out to talk about my proposal ", she asked him as she took a seat.
"I didn't think you would be interested, you wanted me to give him a chance, and here I have given him a chance and you're still mad, please make me understand what you want me to do ?", he asked her as he turned to face her.
"You could have told me he reached out considering I wasters who went to him ", she said getting more pissed.
"I didn't think he wanted you involved in it given the fact that you left him your contact and he decided to call me instead. Just to remind you we're not partners, you work for me so you answer to me not the other way round ", he said as he turned around and left.
Anna was beside herself as she started to draft the contract that he was asking for until she heard the clicking of heels headed toward her.
She looked up and her face dropped even more.
Briana smiled at Anna hoping she would get the same reaction back but got the opposite of it.
"He's alone you can go in ", said Anna as she went back to her work.
"I wanted to talk to you first before I go in to see him ", said Briana which piqued Anna's interest.
"Talk to me about what ?", Anna asked a look of pure concern on her face.
"Well I know that you don't like me and me carrying your husband's child just make things worse ", Briana said as she sighed.
"I want you to know that I and Vincenzo have no other relationship apart from us trying to be there for the baby and I would t want to make things weird between us given that maybe you will be with the child sometimes ", said Briana as she smiled.
Anna looked at her and burst out laughing.
"Am sorry what ?", she asked Briana confused.
"Ooh don't tell me he hadn't told you yet, am sorry you had to find out this way ", said Briana as she turned around and went into Vincenzo's office.
Vincenzo's face dropped the moment he saw Briana.
"Am sorry I didn't know you hadn't told her ", she said the moment she saw the expression on his face.
"Fuck ", said Vincenzo as he stood up and left his office but Anna was nowhere to be seen.
In the elevator, Anna couldn't stop the tears that were running down her face.
How could he have gotten another girl pregnant?
He did hate her and she had been stupid enough to think that a part of him liked her even a little bit it was just an illusion she was living in whereby he wanted her.
He didn't like her at all and he had shown it to her on many occasions but she was too stupid not to see it.
