He exhaled softly. “Carlos it’s none of your business.” He strolled back to his chair, he sat down and just then he heard a knock on the door. “Come in.”
Felicity stepped in. “Sir, Mr Garrett is here to see you.”
“Let him in,” Carlos ordered.
Felicity left the office and a few minutes later Garrett entered. They exchanged pleasantries and sat down. “Why the look on your face?” Garret asked, noticing Carlos brow was a little arched.
“Someone got me offended.” He said simply. Felicity came in with two cups of hot coffee and left the office.
“Who did?” Garret watched Carlos sip his tea softly. “I’m quite sure it’s not Kelsey or any of the workers.” He lifts his coffee to his lips.
“Just someone.”
“And you can’t tell me who that someone is?”
“That lady…” Carlos exhaled sharply as he stopped what he was about to say.
“Your wife?” Garret smiled as he looked at Carlos's face.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Ca

Gabby sat down with Blake who was with her at a playground as they discuss. “So tell me, why aren’t your cheerful self lately?” He asked looking at her.“Huh!” Gabby looked at him, the question took her by surprise.“Did someone hurt you?” He asked, he have never seen Gabby this way before, she was a lady that loves fun but now she decided to stay at this place.Gabby rolled her eyes. “No, nobody did.” She looked over at some kids that were playing.“You know I do understand you a lot.”Gabby knew he was right, Blake was the only man that understands her, she knew he had see through her. “Blake, listen up.” She face him.“I’m all ears.”Gabby leans closer. “I met this guy, well, we met through an online dating app, so we hooked up and met each other, he was different from other men I have met, like he is cool and not fun to be with.&r
Carlos and Kelsey were having dinner that evening at a classy restaurant. “Tomorrow is the shipping in of the new products we ordered, so it would be so stressful,” Kelsey told him as she sips her wine.“I could help.” He leans close to the table.“You don’t have to, you would be occupied at work,” Kelsey said softly.Carlos stared into her blue eyes. “I don’t have any schedule tomorrow, I would be at home all day.”“But, it’s my job, not yours, and my workers are going to help me out.” She tilts her head to the side, grateful he was willing to help her.Carlos knew he can’t win when she protest. “I will give you a ride back home then, after you close tomorrow give me a call.”“Okay, but won’t your wife get angry?” Kelsey put a spoonful of rice in her mouth.Carlos scoffed. “She knows I love you and who cares, she wo
“You can stay,” Carlos told her and she halts, she looked at him as he deep himself into the pool and started swimming with Gabby.“I’m more good at swimming than you brother,” Gabby said proudly.Carlos scoffed. “I don’t want to drag it, you know I’m a genius in everything.” They both laugh, Gabby knew she can’t win against her brother when it comes to this, he was naturally blessed with everything.Gabby splashed water on Triffany who was only watching them. “Hey, let’s have fun.” She knew she had to involve her in the game.“Gabby, I’m scared. “Triffany grip the float closer to herself.In the process, she lost her step and was about to go into the water but Carlos held her as they looked at each other awkwardly. “I’m okay now.” She gently pulls her hands from his and held the float.“You’re so clumsy, even in wate
Triffany bite down her lower lips, she wasn’t going to say it but now she has to come out clean. “I happened to overhear it, I don’t want to ruin your life anymore, so please.” She lifts her eyes to see him.“Fine.” Carlos turned around and left the room back to where his friends were, they all looked behind him but didn’t see Triffany. “Where is she?” Gabby asked as Carlos sat down and gulp his wine.“Gabby check on her yourself, you’re free to go in,” Carlos said coldly, Gabby left for upstairs.“Carlos, what’s wrong?” Eric asked curiously.“I’m good.” Carlos filled his glass and gulp the wine again.Garrett studied his mood for a while. “You went in there and fought.”“Please, let’s discuss something else.” Carlos looked at them.“You should start loving your wife,” Blake told h
Triffany woke up the next morning to find herself on the bed, she was surprised and sat up immediately. She turned to see Carlos dressed for work, holding a newspaper while sitting on the sofa.He turned to look at her and close the newspaper. “You’re awake.”Triffany stood up from the bed. “Sorry for sleeping here, I must have thought it was my bed, I’m so sorry.” She apologized.“It’s okay, just know your place next time.” He said softly and turned to the newspaper again.Triffany looked at him, he was acting strange. “Are you feeling well?” She asked as she walked close to him.“I’m fine.” Carlos got up from the sofa slowly and walked over to the mirror to straighten his crooked tie.

After some tons of question, the lady smiled at Triffany, flashing a white set of arranged teeth, the first smile from this lady Triffany had seen. “Congratulation Triffany Joey, you’re in.” Triffany covered her lips in joy. “You should have some time with your appointed Director, Director Kammy.” Triffany walked out of the hall.“Congratulation.” Director Kammy came out of the hall and smiled at the happy Triffany.“It is all thanks to you.” Triffany bowed her head slowly.“I’m sure you put in your best effort this time.”“Thank you, Director Kammy.”“Follow me, you should meet someone.” Kammy walked down the hallway with Triffany behind, trying to keep up with him.“Who’s that?” She asked curiously.“Someone, who will be in the same team as you.”“Team?”“Yes, we are looking fo
Gabby sat up at the dining chair and puts down her napkin. “I would ask Triffany about the company she’s working in, I’m sure Carlos don’t know about the company, I will make her keep it a secret from him and then I would let you know the company she’s working with, you will then make Carlos sign a contract with them.” She looked up at her grandparents. “How did you see my plan?”“You’re smart Gabby.” Bailey gave her a thumbs up with a cute smile.“Thanks, grandma.” Gabby smiled and then turned to her grandfather to hear what he have to say about the plan.“But Carlos is smarter and he can’t be fooled, who told you Carlos don’t know the company she will be working in.” Ethan looked at his granddaughter. “Gabby your brother has a high IQ and we shouldn’t interfere.”Gabby pouts. “Is this coming from you, grandpa? ‘We shouldn&r
