“Resign from there”. “ Why should I resign from there”? I asked him out of shock. “How can Mrs Anderson be working for another man, it’s not possible in this life”. She looked at me with great concern. “Did you perhaps hit your head somewhere”. “No I didn’t”. I responded to her and looked at my phone screen as a name kept on blinking. It was Laura. “I will be back in an hour’s time”. I to go to work . “Laura, how are you”? “I am fine I will be going to Paris in a few minutes”. “Alright then”. She cut the call.
End of pov
“Hey Andrew”. “Hey Sam what’s up”. “I won’t be able to come to work , I feel your brother has undergone a surgery and they tampered with his brain”. Andrew laughed. “Im being serious Andrew, your brother has suddenly changed”. “ *Laughs* Sam I got to go”. Andrew cut the call. “Good morning ma’am what would you like to eat”? “I am not hungry”. I left to my room (technically my painting room). What should I paint I thought to myself. I started to Paint something that expresses human emotions. Knock Knock “come in”. “Madam this was brought for you”. Butler Wang delivered a small package. “Who brought this for me”. I wondered. I opened it and saw a hand written note and something that looked like a bracelet.
The note said
I hope you like this little gift from me to you. I don’t really know what you like but please manage this.
Love Alex.
I took out a beautiful necklace. It is so beautiful I exclaimed. Ring ring. I didn’t bother checking the id of the caller cos I know who it was. “Do you like the gift”? Alex asked. “Yes it’s beautiful”. “Wear this with a black dinner gown tonight we were invited for dinner at a friend’s of mine, I will be home by six to pick you”. He hung up. I went straight for my room to look for a black dinner gown but I had no.I then called a shop to buy a black dinner gown for tonight's dinner.
6:00 PM
I heard a knock at my door . “Hey, Are you ready for tonight’s dinner”. “ Yes I am”. He came very close to me and pecked me on the check. “You know Sam I want ust to know each other well, be comfortable around ourselves. Let’s make this marriage work , at least to an extent”. I nodded in response.
We walked towards the car and he opened the door. “Thank you”. I whispered. He got in the car as well and drove off.
We arrived at the place for dinner. A very beautiful well placed diner table (a ten seat table). Different varieties of food places on the table. “You said it was dinner, but this is a buffet”. I turned to Alex demanding for an answer, but he didn’t respond. Suddenly a metal hitting the body of a glass noise was made which drew the attention of the people that was here.
“Dear esteemed guest thank you for coming over have a dinner with us. Please sit, the food service would be here soon”. I looked at him to see how nervous he was about me coming here. The food service gave me steak even though I didn’t ask for it. I looked at the cutleries strangely. “Don’t tell me you don’t know how to use cutlery”. He Looked frustrated. “Oh my Mr Anderson, don’t tell me your wife does not know how to use cutlery”. One of the lady said while laughing as well.
Immediately I took a table knife, placed it on my right hand, took a fork placed on my left hand and I started to eat the steak.
“Mr Anderson”. Two couples came towards us. “ it’s a pleasure meeting you and your wife”. “ To be honest when I saw her face I thought she was one of the girls you toy with but seeing how elegantly she dressed she looked responsible enough to be your wife”. They started talking business and I don’t have the capacity to hear anything.
“Momma why are you sitting here alone” what the actual heck did he just call me. I started blushing immediately he said that. “ Let’s go home”. He held my hand and led me to the car door. We both got into the car and he started to drive.
“Why are you suddenly treating me like this”? I asked him looking at his direction. “ When I first came you treated me like rag, but now you want to make things work”. “ I’m sorry, my anger was what pushed me to do those things to you. I just want to make things work out for both of us”. I nodded in agreement.
2hours later
We got home and went for our separate rooms. “where are you going”? “I forgot to tell you that art room you saw me painting earlier in is my room now. “Don’t sleep there again”. He held my arm and took me to his room. “you will be sleeping on the bed from now on”. I smiled. I went straight into the toilet to change into my cute night wear gown and I saw Alex half naked only wearing nightwear pants. “ He’s fast asleep”. I muttered out loud. I took the right side of the bed and before I knew it I felt hands holding onto my waist.
“Good night baby”. He muttered. I blushed very hard this time.
