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
NARRATOR"Hey!""Hey!""What is it?" Katherine groaned, but didn't budge as she continued to lie on the bed like she had been hit by a trailer.Hannah wasn't ready to give up either, she grabbed Katherine's shoulder and shook it harshly. "Wake up already, Kat. Are you going to sleep all day?" Katherine couldn't endure it anymore so she slowly sat up, and hissed while glaring at her friend. "What is it? Why are you disturbing my beauty sleep?" But then, her brows furrowed at the sight of Hannah's appearance. "What are you wearing?" she yawned lazily. Hannah just rolled her eyes, feeling helpless. "Can you hear how rough and husky your voice sounds? You have been sleeping ever since we finished lunch and it's already 4pm. Is sleeping all you care about? I am wearing a swimming suit because I'm about to go swimming, and you should also do the same. Everyone is outside having fun." Hannah turned over to her bed, grabbing a robe to wrap against her body."Is Mr. Rock still around?" Kath
NARRATORKatherine scanned the whole environment and sighed. Everyone was outside having fun but there was no sign of her boss. According to others, he always joined in during the fun activities, but right now, she was sure that he was stuck in his room working. "Does he miss his wife that much?" Hannah swam some rounds, before she finally stopped as she got out of the water, sitting beside Katherine."Take," Katherine said, stretching her hand to her.Hannah looked at the juice and smiled. "How do you know I needed this?" she took the juice, taking a swig."It's chilled enough to squash your anger." Katherine smiled."Whatever.""So are you OK now after battling with the water?" Katherine leaned closer to Hannah, and asked."How can I.." Hannah paused and sighed. "When they are still at it?"Katherine looked at the marketing director, and exhaled. They were still engrossed with whatever they were talking about."I'm sure those two will get laid tonight!" Katherine commented, while s
NARRATORSighing helplessly, Katherine decided to help her friend. Hannah had never requested this type of absurd favor from her before and she'd never made a move on the marketing director. If she was finally ready, then she wouldn't hinder her."Fine, I will do it. " "That's my friend." Hannah jubilated. Katherine exhaled and inhaled, as she mustered her courage. She decisively stood and strolled over to where the marketing director was sitting."Hello sir," she politely said, smiling at the man. But her eyes were fixed on the girl sitting beside Jason as she thought of her name. She had seen her several times in the canteen, and occasionally when there was a gathering like this. But this was the first time she would approach her. However, being a CEO's secretary comes with some perks. "Ahh..." Katherine silently gasped, as the name followed into her head. "Oh, Ms. Whites. What brought you here?"Of course, the marketing director knew her very well. But what Katherine didn't lik
KATHERINEAfter a long day of engaging in different fun activities, the night slowly approached. Under the cool night breeze, with the round moon hanging in the sky as it shone brightly on the vicinity, all the employees present on the trip were gathered round a table as they pounced on the delicious delicacies on the table while they made jokes and laughed. But I couldn't help but feel concerned for my boss and my best friend. The two seem to be lost in their thoughts. They were awfully moody and in low spirits. I can understand why my boss must be feeling this way. His wife was missing in the midst of this beautiful nature. And the fact the bitch was undoubtedly cheating behind his back, without his knowledge, was kind of painful. According to the stories I have heard about them, my boss was always lively whenever the company went for a trip. He would play with his employees and participate in all the fun activities. He must be missing her, judging from the way he was mostly hidi
NARRATOR Rock wasn't in the mood to laugh and be merry like the others. Everything sounded like noise to his ear, so he'd decided to take a stroll. He walked straight to the spot he loved most in this resort. It was a spectacular spot facing the lake. Sitting on a bench with his back leaned against it, one hand propped on the backrest, he crossed his legs, sipping the beer he'd taken with him as he thought about his life with his gaze focused on nothingness.The more he thought about his life, the more empty he felt. Ever since his father's death, he'd worked hard to take the company which was his father's legacy to the next level and he did succeed. The company is now one of the richest companies in the world with different branches as they manufacture different products. He was filthy rich. But whoever said money can buy happiness was wrong. The amount of things he'd achieved couldn't fill the void in his heart right now.He wasn't in this state because his wife didn't come here
