94. The nervous talks.
I completed my lunch and was on my back to my floor, the other day, when I saw my phone ringing. I was surprised to see the caller ID.
"Hey, Ralph. Such a long time. How are you?" I asked as soon as I answered the call."I'm fine, Evelyn. What about you and Adam?" He replied with a smile."We are good. Just the work." I answered with a bit exhausted tone."Seems as you have are enjoying it." He said with a teasing tone."Yeah, so much that, I was waiting like a kid in front of an ice cream store for weekends," I replied and Ralph chuckled in reply."So, detailed." He added."So...What is it?" I asked with a small smile."What what is it?" He asked with a confused tone."Ralph, come on. You don't usually call in the afternoon's when you have work, just to ask how I and Adam are doing." I replied and he cleared his throat before speaking."Hey, I'm not selfish. I

He asked."Just been busy with work. Adam's on my neck." I replied and Master laughed out."He's taking matters too seriously. He got married a week ago. Evelyn must be feeling bad knowing her husband loves his work more than her." Master said with a small smile. Yeah, if she truly loves him. It's just Adam loves his work more than he loves anyone else."Evelyn supports him too much. They are quite a pair." I said with a soft chuckle."They do are. I wish she was here. She would be happy to see Adam like this...after everything he went through." Master add
Married To My Rival. 96. What the Dream!.
You know what, I hate most about Adam?. It's his determination and keen interest he keeps on one thing. He made me work even on weekends, that's awful. Like always he and Evelyn got into a fight and left angry.Adam was too stubborn to listen to anything. But he eventually apologized to her and made up. He should really know how to treat his wife even if he hates his wife with every nerve.Gosh, my head spins every time I get involved with these two fights. But all the whole I do miss someone if you ask me. I haven't seen or heard anything from Ralph since the last lunch. Is he mad at me or something?. Gosh, please tell me he's not mad.It's Monday again, but today I say it's a good thing. Adam was ecstatic when he heard from the mail that Mr. Brown accepted his offer. He hugged Evelyn tight and I smiled a little and he turned towards me and hugged me.We went back to our works and I was busy with the contract and all. It was lunchtime I took my pho

I went straight to Evelyn's floor. She scolded me for coming but yeah, it's for their employees, I understand. I asked her how I look and she said I look great. I informed Adam about the dinner plan and left.I went to the restroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I fixed my hair and splashed some water on my face to remove this tiredness. I was in the elevator going downstairs when I checked the time. It's 6:45."I'll be early," I said with a smile. I don't the reason for my panic and tension and all this look-over thing. But I want to look good in front of him.I took my phone and fixed my sweater and myself before dialing his number."Hey," I said when he answered the call."Your work done?" He asked."Yeah. You're on your way?" I asked while fidgeting."I'm on your left." He said. I blinked twice and turned my face towards the left and found Ralph there.I walked towards him with a ner

I helped him with the table and also with cleaning the dishes. We finished them and were coming out of the kitchen."Thanks for the help." He said with a smile."Ralph, can I ask you something?" I asked after turning towards me."Yeah. What is it?" He said while nodding his head."Umm......do you always talk this formal?" I asked with a smile and he scoffed softly."I thought you were about to ask something else." He added."What were you expecting?" I asked while raising my eyebrow."Nothing." He said and walked past me."So... you haven't answered my question yet buddy," I said while walking towards him."I normally talk this way," he replied with a smile."You really are a gentleman," I said with a smile and sat on the couch."I'm honored I guess." He said with a smile and sat beside me."Yes, you are," I said while looking at him.

"Will that be okkay, even if that makes us apart?" I asked."We'll be apart if I tell you the truth. It's better to part ways now." I replied."So you won't?" I asked while walking towards him."I think it's better to stop talking about it." He said while looking down."Ralph, you only have two options. Either you tell me the truth or I'll make sure you'll never see me. Adam never says 'no' to my requests remember?" I threatened."Why do you want to know what happened so badly?" He asked as he came towards me."It was me who fucking did something when I was completely drunk. I have a right to know, please." I shouted on his face but my words became low when I reached the last sentence."It wasn't your fault." He said while coming closer and caressed my cheek. I looked at him and he looked at me with pain."I can't let you worry." He said still caressing my cheeks. He leaned forwar
Married To My Rival. 100. What happened?.
The next day, I thought Martin would be happy..... glowing but his face was gloomy and lost. He thought he was covering up but his eyes never lie to me. The work was hectic so I halted that.In the afternoon the meeting was held and the sales department explained about their new perfume. It does sound good. Evelyn seemed interested in the meeting. She expressed her opinions and asked the doubts she got."So, that's all about our new perfume." The sales manager ended the presentation with that quote."I'm expecting a new idea for the ad shoot in the next meeting." Mr. Brown added. He came to the meeting even though he was of no use."Sure. My team will be on it, Mr. Brown." I said with a smile covering my pissed look.The thing that made me piss about him is not his unnecessary presence it's his unnecessary flirting with Evelyn. God damn it, she's my fucking wife you idiot.The meeting ended and the employees left the

"You slept on the couch without a blanket. What if you got sick?" Martin said the moment I opened my eyes."Stop whining. It's my day off. What time is it?" I asked while sitting up."Around 8. Go and fresh up. I made breakfast." He said before walking inside the kitchen. I stayed there for a while holding my head as the last night's words flashed in front of me."Your coffee." I heard Martin's tone. I raised my head and saw him holding a cup of coffee in front of me."Thanks," I said and took the coffee cup."Headache?" He asked."Hangover," I replied and took a sip."Why did you drink another bottle then?." He asked while looking at the whiskey bottles in front of me on the coffee table."I was tired. So, I drank to relax." I replied in a low tone with a groan."The lie doesn't suit you. You were thinking about the conversation we had didn't you?" He asked."

"If that was true. Why are you crying for him?. You believe you don't have feelings for him?." I asked. He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him."You can deny to me, but all I want is to stay true to yourself," I said as I stood up."Let's go home. I have to pick my stupid wife." I said as I extended my hand. He grabbed my hand and stood up. He drove me to the Lawrenson mansion but stopped the car at the front gate."You are this scared of seeing him?" I asked with a smile."Seeing me only ends up making things worse." He replied with a low tone while looking at the mansion."For you or for him?" I asked while raising my eyebrow."...For him." He replied with a small tone."I hope you find the truth soon," I said before I got out of the car."What truth?" He asked as he leaned to see my face."You'll find it... soon." I smiled before leaving the place.
