“Ma’am! It’s approved. How did you do it?” Marie exclaimed in excitement after the project plan we submitted was approved.I shrugged. “It’s better than the other plans from the other teams,” I said, stating the facts. Vivian was adamant about submitting our proposal, not because it didn’t have potential, but because she knew she wouldn’t get a penny from it.“Still! The senior product manager wouldn’t just stand by after you got the approval you wanted. She was so sure that it would be rejected,” Marie said, worried about Vivian who was known to have a close relationship with the COO.“Well, let’s say we’re lucky this time. That’s why I need you to work harder and cooperate. It’s not like I’m asking you to work 24/7. You have 8 hours in the office so make sure you do your best within that time. After work, you wouldn’t have to worry about unfinished tasks while spending your time with yourself or your family,” Margot told her team.“Anyway, we’re not stopping her. We have a lot to pr
The Good Wife's Enemy 22: A Cheater’s Tale
Margot threw herself on the sofa, rubbing her forehead with closed eyes. She didn’t think she’d enjoy partying with her colleagues in the club. She watched them dance as she sat in the corner, drinking some rum, and it was fun. Her initial plan to go home at 8 was extended to 9, then 10, sobered up at 11 and finally went home at midnight.“Where have you been?” Harry’s voice broke the silence in the house. His expression darkened when he saw his wife lying on the sofa, a strong smell of alcohol coming from her.“Goodness, Margot! You’re drunk?” Harry held his wife in both arms and shook her. “Who were you drinking with? For Pete’s sake, you came home late, again!”Margot just stared at Harry and giggled. She couldn’t help but laugh at how stupid his husband could be to be dating a younger woman who messing with other men aside from him.‘Birds with the same feathers, huh?’ Margot thought as she laughed, looking at her husband’s clueless expression before her.Harry clicked his tongue
The Good Wife's Enemy 23: Bridges Between Hells
Margot hid a smile as she grabbed a towel to wrap around her. She looked at Harry and caressed his face. “Do you think I should get my breast done, too?”“That’s bullshit! Do you also want to attract other men when you’re already married?” Harry roared at my face. “No way I’ll let you do that, Margot.”“You don’t like huge breasts?” Margot asked. “Does it mean you’re not attracted to Nadine?” she continued, provoking Harry.Harry also grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He seemed no longer horny, and even if he was, it would be weird for him to continue what he intended to do after hearing what his mistress was up to behind his back.“I’m not. Nadine is my secretary, that’s all.” Harry stormed out of the bathroom, leaving his wife smiling at his frustration.Margot didn’t want to stop yet so she followed him to their room after grabbing her bag from the living room. “You look mad. Is it because I told you about my thoughts on getting a boob job?” She tilted her head to th
The Good Wife's Enemy 24: Her Life Goal
Leo stared blankly at nothing in particular, thinking about how stupid he was back then. He had been with patients with different mental conditions, yet he let himself act weird in front of Margot. He was lucky she didn’t mention it but anybody would freak out if their doctor just popped out of nowhere and said things he shouldn’t to his patient.Embarrassment was an understatement. Leo even almost told Margot about his sleepless nights since she walked into his office. He tried to forget everything and moved on, but after his assistant informed him that Margot was coming, he couldn’t be more nervous than ever. He just hoped she forgot how he acted overly concerned that night.After all, Leo knew it would be right to get involved in a married couple just because he felt something special toward somebody else’s wife.“Doc, Mrs. Walton has arrived,” Hannah informed, cutting off the doctor’s train of thought.Leo cleared his throat and replied, “Let her in.”“Hi. Good morning,” Margot gr
The Good Wife's Enemy 25: His ‘Dirty Laundry’
Margot couldn’t help but smile as she went home after her appointment with the psychiatrist. He felt refreshed and relieved despite the problems she had with her husband. Margot was quite confident she could face everything with a smile… Everything, not until she walked inside the house and found Harry and Nadine sitting on the sofa while watching a movie.Clapping her hands slowly, Margot grinned at the two. “Wow! When did we open our doors for strangers to watch movies on our TV, honey?”Harry threw her a quick look and just shrugged. “You’re here. Where have you gone again? I called my secretary so we could sort out the schedule I have for work.”Margot scoffed. “On the weekends? At your house? I wasn’t informed you’re the company chairman, hon. ‘Cause you know, even dad doesn’t have to do all this stuff in the name of ‘working’. And why is she wearing a mini-dress when her boss called over?”Nadine bowed her head and scooted closer to Harry, making Margot’s eyebrow raise even high
The Good Wife's Enemy 26: A Wife’s Wrath
Margot was not surprised, not even disappointed when Harry didn’t come home at night. She made dinner for herself, enjoyed her meal silently, and went to bed. She didn’t bother calling or texting him, knowing he was with his mistress. Margot knew she had to get used to being alone, so Harry would have nothing to use against her when the right time came to completely rid of him in her life.On Sunday morning, Margot woke up and prepared for her appointment at noon. She was leaving the house when Harry’s car arrived.“Good morning, honey. Did you have breakfast?” Harry asked, smiling. He looked so fully energized, making Margot uncomfortable just by looking at him, knowing what made him like that.“The three-letter exercise, I see,” she whispered, ignoring her husband and walking out of the house.Harry didn’t like the way Margot treated him. So, he followed, grabbed her by the arm, and made her look at him. “I’m sorry,” he said with no trace of sincerity neither in his voice nor eyes.
The Good Wife's Enemy 27: Instant Karma
“Oh, what a lovely morning!” Margot stretched her arms with a smile. She had a wonderful sleep at night after meeting with the lawyer.Humming, she stepped out of the shower and walked downstairs in a bathrobe to see her husband drinking a coffee. It was rare for Margot to see him prepare something for himself.“Good morning, honey.” Margot beamed. She took her mug and prepared a hot chocolate drink.While stirring her drink, Margot heated a pan. She put some butter and broke an egg, adding some bacon, too. In less than five minutes, she made herself a breakfast.“What about mine?” Harry asked, his brows furrowed.Margot tilted her head to the side. “You want breakfast?” she asked, nonchalantly. When Harry nodded, she smiled. “Then make it.”Harry hissed in disbelief. “Are you serious?”Shrugging, Margot sat in front of him and took a bite of her fried egg sandwich. “Or maybe you should try calling your sex—secretary,” she sneered.“You’re being too much!” Harry left his seat and was
The Good Wife's Enemy 28: Not Enough
“Everything will be okay,” Margot whispered to Harry in the ambulance. “I’ll be right by your side, hon.” She smiled, holding his hand tightly.Harry groaned, suppressing his screams as he endured the itch and burning sensation on his thing between his thighs. “Fuck! Why is this happening? I have to prepare for a business trip in two weeks,” he said, shutting his eyes in discomfort.Margot sighed. “Stop thinking about work. You have to get better first. I’m sure someone can do it on your behalf,” she commented, wiping Harry’s sweat. “Gosh, you look terrible.”“This is because of that fucking cream you gave me!” Harry retorted, glaring at his wife.Margot covered her mouth in shock, but in reality, she was hiding her grin. “I—It’s not my fault, honey! Besides, I didn’t give it to you. You took it,” she said in a matter-of-fact tone.“It was a freaking anti-fungal cream, Margot! That shit burns on the skin,” Harry said in frustration. He was embarrassed enough to leave the office in an
