Chapter 3- First step.
Zosia locked the house door and stepped into the garage.
Gazing at the beautiful cars, she thought about using one, unfortunately; she had the key to none of them.
"Sigh! I would have to walk out of the estate before I can find a cab." Zosia kept looking back at the garage with a regretful look in her eyes.
She had already gone quite a distance, yet she'd look back occasionally.
Vroom!
"Hey, do you stay around here?" A car came to a halt in front of her, drawing back her attention.
'I would have gotten hit.' 'She patted her chest in relief.
"Yes, Sir."
"Then you should watch where you're going." Zosia nodded her head in agreement.
The car drove past her with the car windows wound down, allowing her to see its occupants.
"Isn't that the so-called true love of my husband?" She muttered under her breath while still patting her chest.
"Well, how is it any of my business? With his attitude, I am pretty sure I can't raise this child together with him to avoid digging my early grave?
I would go check how much is in this card. It decides my next step."
Playing with the card at her fingertips, she skipped, momentarily forgetting she was pregnant.
Oh, the beauty of your early pregnancy not showing.
Unaware that she was being watched by someone.
.....
"Phew, does madam not know she is pregnant and what's with twirling boss card like that?" He muttered to himself.
The boss had sent him to come and give Madam a car key.
"I better give it to her. If she ends up being kidnapped, I wouldn't be able to explain myself."
The Young man ran into the garage.
Staring at the cars, he wondered which one he would give Madam. No one knew Madam's preferences. Just thinking about this made his head ache.
"I would take this one." Kyle immediately drove the car out to meet up with Madam.
Upon getting close with Madam, he was met with a scene, he did not know if he should laugh or just face palm himself.
He would go with the later, he watched in interest, as a young man around the age of 15-18 was hitting up on His Madam.
He was still watching with interest, when his eyes met with that of Zosia.
Smiling embarrassingly, he pulled up to her side.
"Madam, I brought the car you wanted." He came down from the car and gave a formal bow.
Zosia stared at the sleek black car in surprise. Black is her favorite color, so her love for the car rose.
She gave the car a thorough look.
It had enough space, looked like it had been improved. It was even bulletproof. The glass was also not see through, a private glass.
"Let's go." Zosia took the back seat.
Kyle entered back into the car and drove off.
The young man who had been hitting up on her was left embarrassed.
"F*ck, I was hitting on a married woman. No wonder she gave me that look, like she was looking at a fool."
"That b*tch, couldn't she just say she was married. Luckily, this didn't happen in front of my friends." He stomped his feet with frustration written on his face.
...
"For how long have you been watching me?" Zosia's words caused Kyle to sit up.
"Ma'am, do you want the truth or a lie?"
"Of course, the truth." His grip on the steering wheel tightened.
"Not for long, ma'am," he responded
Zosia gave no answer, nor did she react. She closed her eyes and let her head rest on the back of the seat.
Hearing no reply after a while, he peeped at the overhead mirror. Seeing her close her eyes, he tentatively asked a question that has been bothering him.
"Where are we going, ma'am?"
"To the Bank."
He was tempted to ask for what, but kept his mouth shut.
....
Zosia's reason for going to the bank was for three reasons.
One is to open her own personal account. Not that she didn't have one, but it could easily be tracked.
Second, is to check the amount present in the card.
Last, is to transfer some funds to the newly created account.
Arriving at the bank didn't take long and as well as all that she intended doing.
It was done pretty quickly. She didn't really feel like she had wasted her time.
....
"Ma, where are we going next?" Kyle wondered what Zosia went to do.
He still had to report everything to his boss.
"The Mall. Take me to the best mall."
"Yes, ma'am." He dropped his phone which he was texting his Boss on, reporting her every move.
....
In a meeting room.....
The ongoing presentation was interrupted by a notification tone.
Kris did not like being interrupted when he is busy and was about to use the person who left their phone on ring out as an example, only for it to be his.
"Continue." He addressed the person to continue while he opened his phone to check what it was.
Looking at the massive amount that he had been debited, he was shocked.
'Who did I give this card to?' his thoughts ruminating on who had used the card.
The message he received next reminded him of who it was.
What followed next, was a series of debit alert which soured his mood.
The moment, the meeting was done, he stormed out of the meeting room.
...
In the CEO'S Office…..
Kris took the coffee his assistant had brought and tried to calm himself.
"What exactly is this woman buying?" at this point, he felt he needed to keep the phone far away from him, because the incessant alerts made his eyes sting and ears ring.
"I need to call her. No, I would tell Kyle to bring her here."
...
Zosia with a satisfied smile, stepped into the car with Kyle trailing behind her with bags.
"Put them in the boot, if there is not enough space, you can put them here."
Kyle could not answer, even office work was not as tiring as what he just went through.
"Take me back home." Zosia commanded Kyle, the moment he sat at the driver's seat.
"That wouldn't be possible ma'am. The boss said you should meet him."
"Could it be that your Boss couldn't handle the billing." Zosia snickered. Seeing that Kyle wasn't saying anything, she decided to go meet this husband of hers.
"Alright, let's go."
