106. Gloomy days.
After a few minutes, I got a call from Celine.
"You took time," I said as soon as I answered the call.
"Come on. The makeup was too heavy, I called as soon as I finished." She whined.
"Fine. Listen, I met Ralph an hour ago." I said and she sighed.
"Did you ask him what happened?. What was going on with him?" She said with a worried tone.
"It's....." I started and explained everything.
"Oh my. I never thought Martin to be like this." She said the same thing as me.
"Me too. Let's see what Adam says. I guess that bastard takes his friend's side. But I'm really confused about their relationship." I said with a confused tone.
"What do you mean?" She asked when I heard the cutlery sound.
"When we first met, Adam introduced me to Martin as his friend. But back in the office when we were at the meeting with Mr. Brown he introduced Martin as Martin Harrison the other heir of Harrison's family. Doesn't it sound different?

He finished talking and we walked back to his cabin. I followed him slowly but carefully and saw him sighing and as soon as he sat back on his chair. I watched him through the glass door as he ran his palm all over his face to clear his mind. His mood changed to gloomy within seconds.What is he an actor to change his emotions?. I guess. As I watched, his gaze shifted from the computer screen to the photo frame. He halted his work and started watching it with an emotionless face. He slowly grabbed the photo frame and ran his hand through the photo in it giving a faded smile."Was he his first love?." I muttered.His face gave away emotions that showed distress and suffering. A tear ran down from one of his eyes. I was taken back, he really is suffering.I knocked on the door and he quickly wiped his face with his fingers to remove the tears that didn't seem to stop. "Come in." He said after clearing his throat. I opened the door and his face plastered the smile.

"Why love him even after years?. Didn't seeing that make your heartbreak?. Seeing him with other woman, leading a happy married life and soon becoming a parent?" I asked with a worried tone. I thought it was Ralph and only Ralph who was suffering but it's been Martin along with Ralph too. "No." He said softly."He's been through a lot. Suffered enough. He's finally happy and seeing his smile is enough for me." His words moved me."Aren't you the one whose suffering with him?. Doesn't your suffering matters?" I asked."He helped me a lot. Save me and gave me a life I'm grateful to. It's a gratitude I can give." He replied. "Then why suffer, Ralph?. Isn't your tears enough that you're trying to shed his too?" I asked when I saw Ralph's happy face in the photo."I'm keeping him distant. So, the pain of not loving back doesn't hurt him. I can't love him.... with the other in my heart. I'm sorry for all the tears I made him shed. I'm sorry." His words were soft but th

"You really have no concern for others' health, don't you?" I said with a smile."Boss' orderes. He insisted on picking you up. Mrs. Harrison." He said with a teasing smile."What for?" I asked as I turned my head back into the files."To have lunch. What else?." He said as he came towards me."He didn't ask you to accompany me earlier. Why now?" I asked as I closed the flie and turned towards him."Well... your husband needs something to talk about, I guess." He said with a smile."He's no-" Martin stopped me before I can continue and came close beside my ear."Walls have ears." He whispered. I cleared my throat before I spoke."Coming." I said after looking around and stood up."What is it. He wants to talk?" I asked as we walked towards the elevator."I don't know. I know as much as you know." He said while shrugging hsi shoulders."What do you mean by that?. Aren't you his brother?" I said with a confused tone."And you are his wife." He retor

The next morning went all gloomy. Evelyn didn't even pay attention to me, not that I seek it, but still I'm her fucking boss.I hate her..... more now. Why can't she understand the mere sentence of why Martin did what he did. Fuck. The days went on and her gloominess was in rage. I let the thoughts be it too.But one day, I was in cabin doing my work and discussing the contract with Camellia when my doors were opened and I saw Evelyn coming in with a coffee cup. I sent Camellia away and Evelyn sat in front of me. I dind't believe with the next thing. She apologized to me, ha. An arrogant and head strong woman like Evelyn apologized saying it was my mistake to conclude before thinking. Great. I liked it when she was fidgeting in her seat as she apologized. I was glad Martin didn't mention any name. I wouldn't mind even if he tells my name too. It's just pople will assume bad things even worse about Martin and it's the last thing I would want. I can't afford to make him cry or suffe

"Why is she sleeping here?" I asked as I removed my neck tie."Madam was waiting for you, Master." I didn't believe what the maid said for a moment."Did she had dinner?" I asked as I unbuttoned the cuffling."Madam said she will have dinner with you." The maid said."Okkay, heat up the food." I ordered and the maid left after bowing. Why was she waiting for me?. Did something happen?. Did her parents came home that she's acting like my wife?. God, if not then why is she acting this way?. I walked towards her and kneeled in front of her. To up close, she does look beautiful. She's annoying and arrogant but pretty. I give that. I stroked her hair and she mumbled something in her sleep. I smiled on her childish personality. I stiffened when I realized what I was doing."God damn it." I cursed in a whispering tone. I gently patted her shoulder but she didn't respond."Evelyn." I said as I shook her shoulder. She goraned and opened her eyes. She got up and immediately

"Fineee." I sighed."Guys, the ad shoots over. Let's have a treat, the lunch's on me." I shouted and everyone cheered."See, told you it's a good time." She said. Too confident hu?."Well, not really. Get changed." I said before leaving the place. I walked into the changing room and found Martin waiting for me."What are you doing here?" I asked as I started removing the make-up with the remover."Waiting for you." He sighed."What happened?" I asked as I turned towards him."Nothing. Just had a busy day." He replied still with a dull tone."Everyone are having treat at te restaurant. Come on, it will lighten up the mood." I said as I took my clothes and walked into the other room to change my doutfit. I wore my suit back and came out. "Come on." I patted his shoulder as I made my way out. We all.... I meant the whole company went to the nearby restaurant and we started having dinner. We had lunch and I paid the bill before we came back."When will we

"Coming." I head an old man's sound. After a minute, I saw the door open and saw Ron standng in front of me."Hai, Ron." I greeted."I was waiting for you. Come in." He said with a warm smile and I replied with a nod before I started walking in. I made myself comfortable on the couch and Ron gave me some water."Thanks, Ron." I smield as I took it. He sat on the chair in front of me."Where's Martin?" I asked as I looked around."He's in shower. He was acting weird for quite a few days. Even today, he ran downstairs almost tripping on the stairs and told me that you were coming and rushed upstairs." He explained. I chuckeld softly but that weird acting, it feels strange. He acted weird today, I agree. But why is he acting weird lately?."Weird?. Can you explain why?" I asked as I leaned a bit forward and looked at Ron."Well-" His words were cut off by Martin."Adam. You came early." He said as he walked towards me."The traiffc was less. Why are you i

"No, no, no. I'll do it." Ron said in a hurry and took the t-shirt from my hands."It's fine, Ron. I'm bored anyway." I smiled."But-" I stoped even before he can continue."I insist, Ron." I added and that's when Ron kept silent."Where did you sent, Martin anyway?. He's taking more than an hour to run errands." I chuckled as I started folding Martin's track pant."He's always liek that. Late and lazy. I'll make a call." Ron sighed in disappointment and grabbed his phone to make a call."Martin?. Where are you?" He started calmly."Why the hell are you taking so long to buy vegetables and meat?. Come quickly. Will you eat lunch at dinner time?" He shouted. I thought the call starts with this expression. I smiled as I listened to Ron's yelling at Martin. They haven't changed a bit. I shook my head thinking that. I grabbed a white shirt to fold but the size...... it's not Martin's. It's not mine either, Martin wears my clothes when he comes to my place, he never
