NARRATOR"Oh wow.. You're something else. You finished the food even though you were literally crying." Katherine blinked in surprise, shaking her head as she stared at Eric, whose plate was void of any grain. His perseverance made her raise a thumb up for him. "How come you weren't even affected one bit?" Eric was surprised to see Katherine unaffected and in a good mood."I told you that I love spicy food." she shrugged. "I only pity those around me when I'm cooking.""So you cook your food by yourself?""Do I look like a rich woman to you?" Katherine threw back, leaning against her chair with her arms crossed. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she gazed into Eric's."It's just a question." Eric smiled awkwardly."Then, do you cook your food by yourself?" Katherine threw back the question."I do." "You're the weirdest joker on earth.""I know"Eric ordered some beer and the two began to drink."To be honest, I just got dumped today by my boyfriend?" Eric suddenly said."Huh?
KATHERINELike a night watchman, my wide open eyes watched the night slowly drift by and soon, it was dawn. Sighing deeply, I blinked the tears in my painful eyes away and rolled onto my side. I slowly stretched my hand, felt the table for my phone and almost knocked it to the floor, but stopped the movement of my hand on time. "gotcha!" I whispered to myself as I finally grabbed the phone. I turned on the screen and saw that it was already 6:00am and hissed. I dropped the phone back on the table and rolled onto my other side, facing the wall while burying myself with the quilt. Nothing is going my way at all. I can't believe that I actually came home with a stranger, and had to lie to my boss about my relationship status. When I think about it, it drives me crazy, my blood boils with so much anger. Flinging the covers off my body, I furiously sat up. There was no need to pretend to be asleep when I didn't even get a wink of sleep last night. Crawling out of my bed, I stormed out
NARRATORThe atmosphere was suddenly cold as the three were having their breakfast. Eric was in an awkward state as he had to endure the glare Hannah was sending his way. He found it difficult to relax in front of the two ladies, and he couldn't eat his food properly. He just wanted to disappear from their presence. He knew Hannah didn't like him at all, but he couldn't blame her. It wasn't her fault. He deserved whatever was coming his way. He had acted on impulse, approaching a stranger without minding the danger it posed to his career and the fact that it might affect Katherine's life. Thinking about it made him flog himself mentally. Katherine, who was focused on her food, raised her head and saw the awkwardness on Eric's face, which made her to stylishly take a peek at Hannah and realize the reason.She shook her head, before turning to face Hannah. "What are you doing?" she asked while frowning a little."Nothing." Hannah replied, as she focused on her food and that was when E
NARRATOR"Here is your coffee.""Thanks." Rose replied with a smile, even though her gaze was focused on a certain person. "The weather is nice today, don't you think, Dr. Steve?""Why are you here?" Dr. Steve asked, as he silently swallowed anxiously. He'd texted Rock last night and told him that he wanted to see him, but he didn't expect to see his devil wife sitting here instead.Rose slowly took a sip of her coffee and moaned out in content. She placed the cup on the table before leaning back against her chair. Her eyes seemed to be smiling but the doctor knew better. A word from her mouth was like a straight bullet to his uneasy heart. "Why don't you relax and have your coffee, Doctor?" Rose urged, her deceitful eyes pinning the doctor's apprehensive one in place."I'm not in the mood for any coffee right now. Tell me why you called me here. I have an appointment to attend." Dr. Steve refused, his hands under the table balled into fists. He had a bad premonition about this meeti
NARRATORKatherine was busy working on a report when the intercom began to ring. She paused what she was doing and quickly picked up the call. "Ms. Whites, come to my office." Came Rock's deep voice, that sounded like a sweet melody in her ear. She expected him to end the call like always, but that didn't happen as she slowly replied."Yes sir." before the call ended. She left what she was doing and quickly headed to her boss' office. She paused at the door, taking a deep breath before knocking on the door."Come in"She heard him say and slowly pushed the door open as she sauntered over to his desk, her hands playing with the hem of her shirt. Rock was busy with his focus buried on his system. She silently admired the man as a smile unknowingly shone on her face; the slender finger that was typing away on the keyboard seemed so efficient, wishing that it was her body they were working on instead. She watched him slowly pry his attention off his system before focusing it on her. Sh
KATHERINEIt was finally the last Saturday of the month of October and the day of the proclaimed trip. I can't believe it's been over a year already since I moved to this city. I can still remember that very day, like it was yesterday; the first time I'd laid my eyes on my boss and he took my breath away at first sight without knowing it. Then, I found out that he was married and became disappointed, but the fact that he made my heart move and sway with joy felt like a motivation to keep doing my job, even though he was far from nice and scolded me almost every time. But now, it's a different story with Rose involved. Now, I just want to disappear from his side, but I need to keep my job in order to support my family."Hmmmmm....... I miss you mom!"With the help of Hannah, I was able to select a location for the trip. Glacial garden resort. According to Hannah and research, it was one of the best resorts in town. And when I presented it to my boss, he accepted it without a second
NARRATOR"Honey, you're done. Come and have breakfast." Rose smiled at her husband as she saw him walk into the living room fully dressed. "I was on my way to you."Rock looked at her and smiled before following her to the dining table.While they were eating, he kept staring at her, not knowing how to persuade her. But he didn't want to force her either, he just wanted her to do what made her happy and comfortable."What is it?" Rose suddenly looked up and saw her husband staring at her instead of eating his food."You sure you don't want to come? You can have a good rest and eat whatever you want, while we have good fun." Rock tried to persuade her, his eyes filled with expectation."We have already discussed this, honey." Rose dropped her cutlery and sighed while looking at her husband. "It's not every time that I would be following you.""But I don't mind, you're my wife. And besides, no one would complain." Rock insisted with a shrug of his shoulders."You have to go and have fun
NARRATOR"Hello", placing the phone against her ear, Katherine grumpily said."You have seen my husband, right?" Rose's excited voice came from the other end of the phone. She was literally jubilating. Katherine just rolled her eyes, "Do you really need to ask?" something about this woman really irked her."I know you're not happy, but it doesn't matter because I am.""You mean, you can now have your way with another man while your husband is away?" Katherine sneered in her mind."Make sure to fulfill what I asked you to do. Do not let him out of your sight, and report everything back to me. " Rose instructed."As you wish. ""And one more thing." "What? ""I mean anything that would stop him from leaving that place before the right time. You're only permitted to cross the line today. Your money will be deposited in your account as usual.""How many times do I have to tell you that I don't need your money? " Katherine threw back, gritting her teeth angrily." I know you do, sweethea
