Chapter 9

Simmi's POV

I wore the silk nightgown over my short nightwear tied the belt and opened the door and I froze.

What the hell!! What was he doing here?

It would be an understatement if I say that I was not surprised to see Adam Wilson standing there in front of my door.

" You??? What are you doing here? " I asked him.

" Don't look so shocked. Were you expecting your husband? " He asked with a raised eyebrow.

" What?? No!! " I said immediately.

" Oh, nice nightwear... Did I interrupt something??" He asked with a naughty smile.

" No!!" I shook my head while my cheeks started gaining colour.

" Oh, now I understand... you were waiting for your husband to come so that you could seduce him with this sexy look. Right? " He asked casually.

" You are wrong! I was not waiting for him to se... Whatever." I retorted.

" You are confusing me, your husband is already inside, or are you waiting for him??" He asked

" He is not here... by the way what is your problem?? Why are you so keen to know my husband and first you tell me, why have you come here?? " I asked getting annoyed with him.

" Well, you are being rude... I came here to help you. " He replied.

" What help?? I don't need your help. Leave!! " I said as I had already gone through a lot in one day.

" Aww... Apprehensive that your husband might come and see me here while you are dressed to sedu... Kill?? " He asked with a naughty smile and a wink.

" Tell me, why have you come? See, I am dead tired... " I said.

" You forgot your bag there in desperation to get away from me. I could not leave it there." He said showing me my handbag which was dangling in two fingers of his left hand.

Oh, God!! I had not realised that I lost it. What would have I done if it was lost? It had my passport and money and other important things.

" Oh, thank you so much... I can't tell you how thankful I am, for coming here to give it back to me." I said with a smile.

" Welcome!! So I hope, you are not angry with me anymore that I turned up at your door at this hour. " He asked.

"Oh, I am sorry for being rude earlier, it's not because you came, but I am actually not myself today. " I said absentmindedly.

" Are you in some sort of problem?" He asked.

" No! " I said.

" Are you missing your family, parents?? " He asked and a few tears rolled before I could them.

" Awww... So that is the matter. Talk to them, you feel light. Tell them you reached here, they must be worried about you. " He said.

" I can't... They will not talk to me ever now. " I said without realising it.

" Why do you think so? Your parents must be worried about you. " He said.

Oh, God!!

I didn't realise that I said that. I was thinking aloud.

" Where is your husband? Why is he not with you, when you came here after leaving your family homeland? And why didn't you go to his place??" He asked. More tears started flowing.

He came closer and wiped the tear from my cheek.

I was shocked at the contact. Who gave him the right to touch me?? I pushed him.

" Don't you dare to touch me!! Who gave you the right to question me as if you are a cop and I am the prime suspect of some crime?" I shouted at him.

" Tell me what happened and I will not ask again. You are a guest in my country and it is my duty to help you out if you are in any problems. I am sure something has happened since I left you here... You are not happy and excited as you were. Tell me! " He was persistent.

" Fine!! I will tell you if you get pleasure in seeing people in pain. Ok, Mr Wilson, Have the satisfaction that you were right... I went to meet my husband and... I realised that coming here was the biggest mistake of my life, He was cheating on me. " I said.

" Oh!! So?? Why didn't you confront him?? You are his wife... " He asked.

" Enough!! I don't want to hear or say a word about this. " I said.

" So what are you going to do about it?? Taking divorce? Going back? " He asked but I didn't say anything.

" It's ok!! No harm done... Go back home. " He said.

" I can't..." I said getting emotional.

" Ok, then stay here."

" I need a job," I said.

" Calm down!! You came here today... Explore and enjoy a bit." He suggested.

" No! I need a job as soon as possible. " I shook my head and said.

" I can get you a job. " He said.

" Really?? " I looked at him hopefully. He nodded.

" As a chef?? " I asked.

" No!! " He said. I was disappointed.

" Then, what do I have to do?? " I asked.

" Acting. " He said.

What the hell!!

" Acting?? I am not an actress. If you want an actress, hire one." I said.

" I know that...but I don't want any actress. I want a simple beautiful, elegant woman like you. " He replied.

" Are you some kind of director or producer of some movies? " I asked.

" No! I am a hotelier. " He replied.

Then why does he want me to act?

" A hotelier?? Then why can't you get me a job in one of the restaurants? " I asked.

" I can and will if you want, but I am in a hot soup right now. Can you please help me get out of a situation, first??" He asked.

" Yes, I can. Tell me, what can I do for you !! " I asked.
