Edwin was disturbed hearing Elisa’s words. It was not like Edwin cared much about Janet, but knowing how much his sister was getting close to Janet he was getting worried.This girl was still a mystery to him.What did Elisa see in her in such a short time that she wanted her as her sister-in-law?It’s not about Edwin’s life only, it was also about the Wilson’s group’s reputation.His wife would vouch for the legacy of the Wilson group, and Edwin can’t give this important responsibility to anyone.His mood got spoiled, and he didn’t want to sit here and work, as it would only affect the efficiency of his work.He picked up his phone and called the only person he knew who could make him forget all this drama.“Meet me in the thunder,” Edwin said, and cut the call.Thunder was a well-renowned bar in Sydney, and it only served those customers who could afford a hefty sum for its monthly membership.Few people know its owner, but Edwin had a private room there.This bar was set up when Ed
Edwin entered his house, stumbling on his steps, and tried to press the password in his drunken state.But he was so drunk even the password was showing an error.He tried several times, but every time it showed an error.“Damn,” He wanted to kick the door angrily when it opened from inside.Edwin was happy noticing the door opened on its own, but then he noticed Janet was standing there wearing her pajamas.“You back?” Janet asked and opened the door wide for him to enter.Edwin stepped forward but lost his balance and stumbled only Janet to balance him.“You are drunk,” Janet said and Edwin frowned hearing her comment.“No, I am not,” Edwin argued, and Janet just kept silent.Even if he is drunk, what is it to Janet? It’s not her place to comment.Janet helped him walk inside, made him sit on the living room sofa, and walked inside the kitchen to make honey water for him.It would help him sober up.Edwin was feeling sleepy, and he didn’t bother to walk to his bedroom and closed his
When Janet knocked and entered Edwin’s office Edwin was as clueless as Janet was.He understood Janet was avoiding him and he also didn’t want to face her, as he was clear who had initiated the previous night’s incident.Even if he was drunk, he couldn’t blame Janet who only wanted to take care of a drunk person.Edwin felt guilty thinking about how he had lost control and decided to stay away from Janet before he figured out what was happening to him.“Mr. Wilson, you asked for me?” Janet asked nervously and Edwin was also surprised.“Did I?” Edwin asked, and Janet gave him a confused look.“Elisa…” Janet said and Edwin realized what was happening.“Oh! Elisa. It’s fine.” Edwin said and closed the file he was working on.His sister was meddling too much in his business, but he couldn’t expose her in front of Janet.“Where were you all day? Why I didn’t see you?” Edwin asked, which made Janet look downwards with a guilty conscious. She was fidgeting with her fingers nervously.“Last n
Janet came back home after meeting her mom.Today she was happy because the doctor has given her hope for the first time since her mother’s operation.According to the report, her mother’s condition is improving.After the operation inside her mom’s brain, some edema was formed, which was contributing to her comatose state.But they were slowly reducing, and they hoped she could wake up within a week.However, how long she would have to stay in the hospital was still unknown.But Janet would be happy as long as she could see Rim opening her eyes.Maybe hearing her voice would give Janet the strength to fight.When Janet came back, she found the house empty.It was already 8 in the evening and Edwin was not back.When Janet walked inside the kitchen, she found it empty; she was confused as to why there was no food delivered when every day Ben ordered takeout from the well-renowned restaurant in Sydney and they had it together after office.She was hungry, and she thought Edwin would be
The next morning, when Janet woke up, she noticed Ben was ordering a staff to arrange the groceries.Janet noticed the kitchen was getting stored with everything a person needed to cook and even she was surprised to see all these arrangements.“I have arranged everything, Miss brown. You can check if you need anything else,” Ben informed Janet, but Janet couldn’t understand what was happening there.“Me?” Janet asked to confirm.“Mr. Wilson ordered me to arrange everything, and he wants you to cook dinner for you two from now on,” Ben said and Janet understood what was happening.When Edwin proposed this idea last night, she thought he was just pulling her legs.But noticing the arrangement now, she realized he wasn’t joking.Did he really like her cooking so much, Janet wondered.“It’s more than enough,” Janet said feeling embarrassed.She couldn’t cook every dish, just some home-cooked meals her mother had taught her.What would she do with all those things?There were some imported
Janet received the call with shaky hands and placed it in her ear.“Hello, is it Janet brown? I am Mrs. Rim brown’s attending nurse.” The caller said, and Janet took a gulp.“Yes,” Janet replied in her trembling voice.“I call to inform you that your mother has woken up and you can come to meet her ASAP as she was searching for you.” The nurse informed, making Janet to lose her balance.She was falling when Edwin came to give her support.“My mom… she …” Janet couldn’t say anything as she was overwhelmed with emotion.Edwin took her hand and made her sit on the chair as she cut the call.“What happened?” Edwin asked concerned, passing her a glass of water.Janet took the glass and hurriedly gulped as she was trembling.“My mom… she has woken up,” Janet said happily while a tear dropped from her eyes.“She is finally awake,” Janet said while trying to wipe her happy tears.She was waiting for this day so desperately.“I need to go to the hospital.” Janet composed herself and stood up to
The next day, when Janet woke up, she found herself in her room.She clearly remembered she was sitting on the sofa and maybe dozed off while waiting for Edwin.But what surprised her was that she was comfortably tucked inside her bed when she woke up.She got down and put on her slippers to walk toward Edwin’s room but found it empty.It was still early for office hours, but she didn’t bother and get ready for office.The dinner she had kept for Edwin was still untouched and lying on the table.Anyone would think he hadn’t returned, but he had changed his clothes, and his last night’s shirt was lying on the laundry basket.Janet didn’t know why he didn’t wake her up when it was undeniable that Edwin must have carried her to her bedroom.Janet didn’t know why she was feeling something amiss, but she didn’t get a clue and could only leave for the office after finishing her breakfast.The day wasn’t going as she expected.This was the third time Edwin ordered to redo a file and Janet did
Janet came down with Elisa when Elisa confirmed Ben had granted her leave.Janet was reluctant, but she couldn’t deny Elisa, too. She has been her support system in the office all along.Maybe it was good in a way.She wouldn’t need to face Edwin’s tantrums until she returned to his house.She decided to enjoy her time with Elisa, but her enjoyment turned to embarrassment when she noticed Elisa’s car.It was a black sleek Lamborginnhi, anyone can say by looking at it, that this must have cost a fortune to buy it.If Elisa could afford such a luxurious car, her background can’t be simple.Her awkwardness increased when Elisa’s car stopped outside the biggest mall in Sydney.This mall only allowed the biggest brands all over the world, even a single scarf would cost thousands inside this mall.“You would shop here?” Janet couldn’t stop herself from asking.She ne
